Factually, this tour started May 2022 at Jazz Fest in New Orleans. This is the “Live In Concert” Tour whose official poster features the same 2018 photo of Stevie by Randee St Nicholas with a veiled top hat and her fingerless gloves.

She should change the set ..a little …and perform in smaller more intimate venues..
I still wouldn’t go …but it would be a change and a challenge for her.

I agree. I refuse to pay the high prices anymore just to be further and further back from the stage, harangued by overzealous security guards, and charged $20 for a beer. If you're in Row 1, it's not like you're close to Stevie or can even see her from some spots. For thousands of dollars? Not for me.

But, if she went RAL and started having the energy delivered medically, I'd be back in... It will never happen!

I agree. It's quite rude and ignorant to call broad swaths of people "stupid," but that never stops some people here.

Edit: 'Some people here' who are on my Ignore list, so I don't have to see them unless someone quotes them. : )

Get over it. Pay my bills, then I'll take orders from you.

I’m not sure why there’s an enormous gap between Row 1 and her stage. Is it because of COVID-19? Because it seems she got COVID from one of her band mates in 2023. I also think Sharon and Marilyn got COVID in 2023 as well since they missed two shows.
Remember the old days of chilling at the stage? Damn.

I remember the good old days of excitement attached to the stage!

YES. One of the highlights of my life was strumming Lindsey's guitar on GYOW in 2018 on his solo tour. Seriously, my entire life I never would have thought I would have been one of those people. I also got Stevie to grab both my hands during an Edge Walk in 1998 although she did not look pleased with the sexually suggestive shirt I had on

Dude, come on now- you can’t post something like this here and NOT elaborate! A photo or at least a description of the sexually suggestive shirt in question, please.

I don’t think it’s just the income, I think it’s also the adoration she gets from performing. I’m sure she loves that.

I've told the story here before of that Edge walk. I was in panic mode because she was heading my way and I just put up both hands and she grabbed both of them. I was in my 20s and was a gym rat back then. I had this wife beater T shirt that said "Rock Hard" but it had a double meaning because it also had a figure doing a pose. I could see her looking down and reading my shirt with a perplexed look. I don't think she saw the figure

Now the silly part that all of you can make fun of me with the details I will share. I almost fainted. I felt like I was at one of those mass healing religious ceremonies where people faint. I could not even drive home properly. I kept making wrong turns until I had to pull myself together and make it back home. Still high as a kite when I got to my apartment I began calling everyone I knew to tell them what happened

Now THAT is crazy!

Awesome story, thanks for sharing! Glad you made it home safely, too LOL.

I saw Diana Ross maybe 10 years ago or so, and she held my hand for a moment. She didn’t single me out or anything, but when she was walking the stage, she touched everyone’s hand in the first row and really held on for a few seconds for everyone. I was really shocked because of all the stories about her being a diva, etc. And the stories are probably true, but I think when she’s performing in front of thousands of people, she’s excited to interact with fans… but probably not so much when it’s one on one.

Yes, I get that.
But, Sting for example…who has just a big ego as Stevie .(Maybe more to keep his 73 year old body in such fit state)..
Does play smaller venues….
Maybe in America he isn’t the crowd puller she is….(just thought that.)

Sting has hung out at my country bar in Nashville, twice. Just standing at the bar like a regular person. He even took my seat once, and I told the staff to "keep that English b@stard out of my seat!"

Can you picture Stevie going out and acting like a normal person?

No one is more enamored with Stevie than Stevie. I'm a star!

I saw Mick in NYC 2 weeks ago. He was with one of his daughters (who looks just like him btw) and who I assume is his girlfriend and he was talking to someone. Came upon him quite coincidentally as I was coming out of a work meeting and he was standing in front of the building (Madison Ave and 60th in case you are wondering). I wanted to approach him but didn't want to interrupt. I think the GF noticed me and because I didn't look stalker-esque (I guess) she must given him some sort of signal because he waved. Seemed very nice, jovial and if he wasn't in a conversation, I probably would have approached him. Stevie would have been surrounded by Karen, Marty, Sharon, Marilyn and hoards of the coven, I am sure.

In the 90s the Microsoft sales manager assigned to the bank where I worked, he knew I was a Mac fan and he told me he had seen Stevie Nicks in a restaurant (probably LA, I don't remember), and he dared to approach her and ask for her autograph. She signed a napkin and gave it to him. He said she was cordial, but that was the only interaction. He thanked her and returned to his table.
