STEVIE NICKS-GREEK 5-20-07-FAN REVIEW w/ PICS

[SNLB]

Don't know if I missed it anywhere, but I didn't see a thread started for Stevie's show from last night at The Greek.



In a word...AWESOME!

I hadn't seen Stevie solo since 1989 so I was excited. I'd seen the set list and was looking forward to hearing mostly everything. My friend and I upgraded our tickets from Terrace (or, balcony, if you will) to center 5th row behind the pit section, which I guess is technically, the 9th row. Nice start!

Chris Issak was extremely entertaining. I only know two of his songs, but he puts on an outstanding show. Loved hearing him sing Cheap Trick's I'd Love You To Want Me. And my favorite of his for the night was the last song he sang, which I think was called Forever Blue(?). Here are a couple of pics!


Stevie was as awesome as always. She sounded great, seemed like she was really having a great time and well, she, as usual, looked drop-dead gorgeous! Stand Back was a great opener. The set list was the same as The Concord show, but she switched a couple of the songs around. She dedicated I Need To Know to Tom Petty, who she said was there. She also talked about how she'd toured with him and admitted it was the best time she'd ever had. I finally got to hear her sing Enchanted, a song I haved loved since The Wild Heart came out. Loved it! Landslide was a highlight with the photos and altering film clips of her and her family on the large screen behind her. Also enjoyed hearing her sing Led Zep's Rock And Roll. Even though she only plays for about 90 minutes, she keeps up the pace with upbeat songs throughout, thankfully. I'd say for someone pushing 60, she kept things rockin'! I'd go see her again, without hesitation. Here are some photos:

During Landslide. I had a tough time getting good shots of Stevie and the screen. I turned off the flash and could get the photos on the screen behind Stevie, but you can't see Stevie too well, or I could have left the flash on and you would have been able to see Stevie, but not the screen.




As for merchandise, the posters are beautiful and I had to wait until after the show to buy one or I would have ruined it. They had bags to keep your merchandise in, but no poster tubes or rubberbands. I also bought the black Crystal Visions shirt, the keychain, and the magnet, but that poster is my favorite. It's $10.00 and well worth it. I wanted to get the brown "THE BOOTS ARE BACK" shirt, but it felt so flimsy and "The Boots Are Back" was written so small on the back of the shirt (which I thought was the best part of the shirt), I thought for my $40.00, I'd get the black shirt. As reported here, they do have tour books and they are $15.00.

For those of you going to the show, enjoy both Stevie and Chris. I totally got my money's worth.
