Shush, you!

There was this one obnoxious b**** dressed up like Timespace era Stevie, including the floor-length coat and the strapless bustier dress that highlighted her bolt-on, wall-eyed implants. She was barely in line at all and shoved her way through the crowd in the pit. I hope she is reading this. What a disgusting animal.

Nope,but i did see her! haha...I was at stage left,and 3/4 of the way through the show this short,redheaded chic with flowers pushes her way through saying she has to get her flowers to Stevie,like she was more important than any of us. I was like oh hell no..it was great though cause when Stevie came around to shake hands she shook mine and a few others,and ignored flower girl...and that is what we call KARMA. IF she wasn't so rude i wouldn't have minded,but damn...don't put cellophane between me and Stevie!

Wow, what a short but epic trip! Although I can't say that the trip didn't have its share of twists and curveballs here and there, I had a blast. Other than the concert, I had no gameplan whatsoever and pretty much decided to what to do, where to be, each morning.

I really can't add too much to what has already been said about the show itself. It really was historic, and I felt like I was a part of something that is not likely to ever happen again. I couldn't help but think that a chapter had been closed and another opened. The Stevie that walked out on that stage was a changed woman- happy, thin, radiant and unafraid to take chances. As we all know, the setlist was something that seemed to be from a dream or a cruel April Fools hoax. It seemed that Stevie was having the last laugh, thumbing her nose at the naysayers who thought she was creatively bankrupt, as she delivered the most epic, satisfying set of her entire 30-year solo career. And any concerns I had about the fragile state of her health and voice dissipated the second she started singing circles around "Annabel Lee" as if it had been in the setlist for years; I could have sworn it would segue into "Dreams" just like "Outside the Rain." It sounded classic. In fact, I am still haunted by all of the sublime moments in the show- the sing-along vibe of FWIW, rocking out the tambo during GAG, the way she suddenly belted out the last note in "Moonlight," etc. Like everyone else who made the effort, I was heartbroken by the Webster Hall cancellation. However, I feel like everything happened for a reason; I have a hard time believing that the show at Webster Hall would have been anywhere close to the Wiltern show. This is a show that could have only taken place in Los Angeles. Being my first concert in LA ever, I really did feel like it was a homecoming of sorts for everyone on and off stage, especially knowing that Lindsey and Mick were sitting somewhere up above me in the mezzanine. And it also made me feel good knowing that Dave Stewart was in the same room as Lindsey and Mick; perhaps there were some fruitful conversations about the next Fleetwood Mac album. In a nutshell, it goes without question that this was the greatest Stevie show I have ever seen (my first show was on the RAL tour). Although I had low expectations going into this whole trip, there was still this little voice in my head constantly saying "this is the one we've been waiting for." As it turns out, the little voice was spot-on!

Biggest thanks and hugs to Dani! This trip would have been nowhere close to being so much fun without you! You have this magical gift, er, two magical gifts that seemed to open doors for you everywhere you went; I was just along for the magical, "strange" ride. To all the Dani naysayers: get stuffed. This girl is the real deal. Also, it was great to hang out with Grace (mezzoforte), Liam McConville (who is like a younger, snarkier version of me) and everyone else I met at the show. My only regret is that we can't all hang out and attend Stevie shows at the Wiltern every weekend!
My mind is about to explode with all of the funny references you just threw in this post.

Ed, I LOVE YOU. I had such a blast with you.... looking for breakfast places for hours on end, watching you nearly back off a cliff as Liam cried laughing, THAT BED (I'm so buying one). I can't wait until our next Stevie adventure... it's gonna be soon, that much I know for sure

I'd also like to tell everyone that I met on this trip that it was an absolute pleasure getting to know them! I'd known Ed, Amber (equeen1022), and Grace (mezzoforte) before the show, but it was awesome to finally meet Liam (LiamMcConville), Steve (chiliD), Becca (GypsyBecca), Anna (WildHeartCa), Jeanie (JeanieKartis), Nancy (sodascout), Eliza (SNicks), SaraThePoet, and and and.... seriously, I met at least 50 Ledgies that day so if I forgot you, don't be offended! My head was spinning.

the gathering that we will have for her next show will be amazing! ed is right, everything happens for a reason (this i kept saying to truefaith and amlyn)! i know, i just know, that with me being on my best behaviour lately (for the most part) that i will be blessed with my own lil wiltern! yeah im sure it won't compare, but damn if it doesn't come close.

i am happy to say that i am no longer angry that i missed this show! just knowing that my homies that went had an amazing time just makes me all bubbly inside. since i love my "webster" crew, i'm glad you guys saw this epic show! your happiness makes me very happy!

we will gather again! we will party again! we will be hoarse from screaming again! we will shut down another restaurant! there will be another piano bar! there will be another cig break! there will be spilled drinks on the floor! there will be more hugs and kisses! we will rock out to our Queen one mo'gin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She needs to do a House of Blues tour and KEEP the birthday setlist. That would be epic for everyone! I'll bring cupcakes!!

I live on the east coast and was not blessed enough to have been able to see this show, but you have summed up my feelings completely in this review. From the 1st video I saw of this epic night I felt there had been a shift and that it was something so special. Stevie has slipped into herself in a way I have never witnessed before and she seems so happy and so confident. I truly hope she tours over here so we can witness the magick in person. Until then, I am forever grateful to all of you wild hearts for your reviews, photos and professional quality videos....I don't feel like I "missed" this show at all.....

PS....Moonlight was epic, old school Stevie !! I have watched the video of that over and over and when she crouches and starts swaying & singing at the end before the wail....OMG!!

Truth be told I would of went to this show knowing it was going to be the same set list.
I had even prepared myself as Lindsey & I did for the Indio show, hoping for new song's but knowing it might not happen. So I carried that same mindset to the Wiltern show..........Needless to say it was a pleasent surprise from the very start (after Stand Back) this wasnt going to be the same set list! I had this huge smile on my face the entire show . It was epic, historic and once in a liftime experience!!!

Thank you for this wonderful post. I hate that I missed out on this (especially when my husband asked me, "why didn't you go?" when I was explaining to him what you all were up to) but I really am happy for those who got to go and of course, for Stevie.

Someone mentioned that her brother Chris gave the introduction for the show. Is there a clip of it? Did he say "...my sister, Stevie Nicks!," just like her father said "...my daughter, Stevie Nicks!"?

I have nothing nice to say about her brother, but that's such a sweet touch to the show. It's as if saying this is a rebirth of her solo career, since her father was there at the beginning of her solo career.

From the clips I've seen, it seems like Stevie has been reborn. The set list was a dream come true, and her energy and performance was way above par. She could have performed the entire album, with just a few old songs, and I don't think anyone would have whined about it. It goes to show: if you have good songs, and perform them well, there are no songs that you have to do to have a satisfying show.
