Plus if you add in the fact that this may be the last big solo tour. It wouldn't feel right to miss it. I don't think Stevie would ever bill it as her last tour, But I suspect aside from FM's obligatory farewell tour in 2012 or so, Stevie will only tour sporadically afterwards before retiring from the road outright in the next 4-5 yrs.

A fine example of a post I wish I'd never read. Depressed, Bee is now

No need to get your knickers in a knot. People on here have been calling Stevie's retirement since 2004. Every time she or FM tours, there is this broad declaration that it will be the last time, and that she/FM will never release another solo album ever again. Remember, music is her life. She's not going to decide one day to do nothing but crank out sh*tty paintings like Joni Mitchell and Grace Slick. Or make sh*tty movies like Madonna. She doesn't have family obligations either. She is/was/always will be a gypsy in a traveling show. I do believe that, when her time comes, she will die onstage.

Hehe. They're firmly unknotted. I just get sad when I hear talk of her retirement and I'm still a Stevie show virgin. It sucks lol. But I hope you're right in that sense! I don't mind helping her with her zimmer frame when she reaches her first century should she try to have a whack at Stand Back *shudders at mention of Madonna in the same subject matter as Stevie* I don't like that woman.

Die onstage? Wow that's a grim thought lol

You have to come here- I can't afford to fly to California.

If she comes to the Tampa general area I will go. I'd avoid Miami if possible but it's not out of the question. I might even dress all up for a show if it's not too hot, otherwise the layers stay home.

Dito, I can't imagen Stevie being in town and not going to see her, its just a given!

[APerfectLie]

I am for sure going. I have never seen her live, solo or with the Mac. And the reason for that is because for all of my life, I lived in Midland, TX, which if you know anything about Texas, you know it is a good 300+ miles from anywhere Stevie or the Mac ever play. So I just never had the funds for a ticket, gas, and a hotel. However, now that I live in Austin, I am only about three hours from Dallas and Houston and this year I have gone to concerts in both Dallas and Houston and driven there and back to Austin the same day. Long drive, but definitely doable. So yes, I am for sure going. And my fingers are crossed that she will come to Austin this year for once. Maybe if she does I can drag Louie there with me!

GIRLS ROAD TRIP!!!


I will see all the West coast shows that I can, and I'm planning on heading back East for a handful too.

I've never seen her live because she flat out refuses to play anywhere in Europe on here solo tours. If she doesn - I'm there!

I agree about Tampa, however, I'd go to Orlando to see her if she played there too. Miami is just too dang far, although it would be REALLY fun to make a mini-vacation out of it. Hmmm....already planning...

[SuperFleetwood]

ill try and go!

I won't go to a casino show... and will not go at all if the set list is the same with 2 new songs ( by the 3 show she will have dropped at least 1 if not 2 songs )

she really need to drop the fleewood mac stuff and dig out some older Solo or Buckingham Nicks .... she could use Dreams (deep dish) like she did in Vegas Play before she walks on but add video of her career ...and hopefully christopher will have nothing to do with this tour!

and no cover songs..if her material isn't good enough for her shows then don't record it

I last saw her solo in 2007, and it was a bit flat. The detriorating voice is not such a problem, but I find her band raucous and drowning her out while she shouts lines. I'll go in 2011 if it appears she has jazzed up the setlist and ditched the cover songs. It is worth the price of admission just to hear her closing song, which is usually a tender and dramatic version of a ballad like BATB or HAEWAFY. Those are the moments I live for, when she is in full emotional mode and the background music isn't throwing her into the pit. Here's hoping the new album is full of soul and spirit.

I love my Stevie Nicks and FM but I cannot do the high prices even the cheap seats are not cheap anymore I have been seeing her live since 1986 and it felt to me personally it was her swan show for me at Foxwoods in Aug of this year it was fun and had a blast. I have to watch my money and put it torwards other things. Looking forward to hearing her new cd. I would love to go but necessities are more important right now It will be a tight year next year for me too its even tight now. I am not a big spender either so I hope everyone who goes enjoys the show. Stevie when she played in Aug. the show was a prime show and she was just on the money the whole night it was magical I don't know if it was her last show on the mini magical mystery tour she called it but it felt for me in my bones it was my last and it felt to me like it was my swan song show. Including FM last year was my last year seeing them too. No more concerts or shows for me of anyone kind. I have met her at the Barnes and Noble signing in NYC in March of 2009 and awesome and priceless moment and have shaken her hands several times at the shows and been to a taped pbs soundstage of FM I had alot of fun thru the years and won't trade it for the world just wanted to be a good show to say it was awesome and don't want to make my last show being a disappointed performance or disappointed set list.

If she came to New Zealand or Australia again I would defiantly go, I'm just not sure if I see that happening again! Although I wonder if Fleetwood Mac would come back again, Lindsey did say it was in his top 5 shows of all time! And it was amazing!!
