Houston, TX - Toyota Center, 10.29.16

Last night was soooooooooo good! Much better than the Denver show and much better than what I saw on Periscope of the Phoenix show. She is settling into a comfort level with these songs, taking a few more risks (however slight) and not missing cues like she's done a few times in the first two shows. She's getting comfortable with the audiences as well.

My feeling is that this show is going to continue to get better and better as the tour progresses! She is singing each song at a range that suits her and which doesn't appear like it would affect any future shows, so I would not be surprised if this is the first Stevie tour (post "The Dance") where she doesn't drop or replace any songs. There is no struggle here, just a honey smooth vocal on each song. Everything is just right!

Her energy level is also increasing!

Love the quality of Bella Donna. Not being picky but wish she would include "And your face becomes thin" before You never thought it could. Its such an intense line that I cant help but miss it.
Love this setlist

I agree. That gap in the song sounds weird too.

She's definitely using her voice more efficiently. which is probably to her voice coach's credit. Cutting out a few verses from some of the songs (Wild Heart, Bella Donna, Annabel Lee, Edge) allows her to save her voice and sing more songs. So I think it's a win/win situation for most fans. It's a little weird hearing Edge all chopped up, but if it allows her do incredible set lists like we've seen so far, I'm all for this different kind of show.

I completely agree that Stevie's energy is fantastic! This coupled with her voice, the setlist, and the beautiful stage are making this tour even more special! The anticipation for my show is killing me!

Stevie Nicks casts a spell over Houston
By Joey Guerra, Sunday, October 30, 2016 Houston Chronicle

It was a night of 1,000 Stevies both on and offstage.

The Fleetwood Mac singer's Saturday show at Toyota Center -- on Halloween weekend, no less -- inspired several fans to don shawls and scarves, floppy and top hats, lace and long, flowy robes.

Others honored the festivities in costumes and makeup. (A Joker here, a sexy cat there.)

Nicks' current 24 Karat Gold Tour is also showcasing a different side of the iconic singer. It included several songs she's rarely performed onstage. This was her third show of the tour, and her voice strengthened as it progressed.
She told the crowd she visited Houston to pick up Lily, a "tiny pink dog," in July. Much of the show was framed like a "Storytellers" TV special.

"Wild Heart," never before performed onstage, could be a hit for a country singer. The Edgar Allen Poe-inspired "Annabel Lee" boasted a rousing, rising chorus. "New Orleans" was originally a poem inspired by Hurricane Katrina. "Starshine" was a originally a demo recorded in Tom Petty's basement.

Nicks performed "Moonlight (A Vampire's Dream)" in a long, white coat. It was no mistake that it played like some sort of gothic drama.

There were, of course, ample moments of classic Nicks. She swirled her scarves and shook her tambourine. And the crowd roared when she took a few signature spins during "Stand Back."

Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders, who opened the show, returned for a spirited "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around." Deep cut "Outside the Rain" effectively segued into "Dreams."

The final quartet of songs were for maximum fan appeal: a still-searing "Gold Dust Woman;" "Edge of Seventeen," featuring images of Prince flashing on the screens; a swirling "Rhiannon" and "Leather and Lace."

Women danced. Men sang along. And Nicks, in all her witchy allure, proved she still reigns supreme.

"That was for Bella and Edward, who live in my heart, and the stories of 'Twilight,'" she said.
