I wasn't that blown away. She didn't move around that much but the twirl was quite special. She only smiled twice, once after the twirling and at the end.

What was this for? She wasn't on tour in 96.

Its prolly for a MIX Fest, or whatever they call it. Its like a concert that Mix 98.5 has in Boston every year.

But its weird because they haven't played a FM/Stevie Nicks song since, like, forever. The last time I can recall was back when SYW came out when the morning talking show host started talking about "Peacekeeper" and had no clue what he was talking about. I was just waiting for him to say "Man that Stevie Nicks sure has a deep voice these days." But I haven't listened to MIX in like a year, so I dunno.

Thanks for the video...nice to see it. Neat hair.

A friend bought me the concert tee to this show, which had many bands playing that day/night.

Wow, that is some exciting cape-shaking and -flashing she does during the spin! Cool!
Thanks for posting.

Now that I think of it, I'm pretty sure I have this on VHS and will try to get it onto DVD when I can. I have a friend who makes these transfers as a side job.

The concert was a Mix Fest concert, yes. It was free! I was so psyched. We didn't get up front because we just went for Stevie but we still had a pretty damned good spot. That was something!

A whole lotta weave, man.

Keanu Reeves called. He wants his Matrix cape back.

This was fun, though. It will always amaze me - the eruption elicited when this woman spins.

Thank you so much for all of those lovely videos of Stevie/Fleetwood Mac on YouTube!!! I have enjoyed watching them so much.

I want that f'ing cape!!!!

That whole thing was so cute, right up there with her SNL 83 Stand Back. I also loved how she was moving her hair back like Cher ala 70s !

God, who is that braying hyena shouting out "LANDSLIDE!" over and over? Like, I'm sure they are going to alter their setlist right then and there.

The outer coat she is wearing, I believe, is the Joanna Robe from trashy.com... with some added embellishments on the cuffs and the lower back... very nice. I bought one in red, like the one she wears in the Rooms on Fire video. It's FABULOUS!!

thanks!

You were right man, that was awsome! (not my all-time fovorite stand back though, but it was good.), but the spinning!, ohh, the spinning I can't explain how I experience total and compleete euphoria whenever
STEVIE -NICKS -spins! It honestly should be like a medical condition! I am just glad that I am not alone!

That's what I was thinking!


And I am so needing one of those Matrix Twirling Coats now...

[t.c.]

Thank you so much, priestofnothing, for posting that. That made my day. She was quite the diva in that moment- the twirls, then her hands on her head after she pushed her hair back....wow!

remember Anastacia saying she used to work at the salon where Stevie either got her nails or hair done (I can't remember which)

I laugh when I think of all the inside info I've gotten about white women weave from my insiders...Celine sending Faith her old extensions, etc. It's hilarious.

Can I have a Chinese waterfall with a krinkle curl on the front?

if you have ghetto fabulous friends like I do, you know what I'm talking about...and yes, the Chinese waterfall is still very much alive in Mississippi
