Road time is different. It seemed like centuries.

Reminds me of when she said she and Lindsey were destined to be in a band together for 100 more years.

Stevie and others (like Hoppy) have said that Stevie believes she and Lindsey have been together in past lives. I think that's what she meant by centuries.

(about their relationship) she does this little twitch where the side of her mouth goes and it's like she's bracing for whatever he might have said. Subtle but noticeable.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Wheels were turning.

I know they certainly did do the separate limos off the plane and separate dressing rooms and all that... .but um, it kinda seemed like they still do, actually. LB arrived alone in his limo, Stevie was in her own dressing room with her crew, and in countless interviews over the last several tours they admit they don't often even stay in the same hotels because either they have their own preferences in certain cities or because Stevie insists on having the presidential suite in any hotel because "I deserve it" and maybe Lindsey wants his own presidential suite. I'm not sure I see a lot of offstage time being spent together even now. (would we ever see Stevie roaming around in public like we do LB??)

.

I bet they don't stay in separate hotels - or if it does occur it's just personal preference.For example, Stevie changed hotels in Dallas during SYW and then had Lindsey and family switch to her hotel because there was more stuff to do for the kids. Maybe too "speculative" for the board but I believe that was confirmed by witnesses.

Anyway, as far as hanging out backstage, I'm sure by the time they get to the venue and do soundcheck, Stevie needs to start getting ready. It probably takes her a long time to get ready. In DR doc it looked to me that they all sort of come and go from her dressing room, hanging out at times.

No, I don't think we would see Stevie out at random during tours. But she was photographed shopping in Australia at the end of Unleashed. She has said you would not recognize her if she was out and about anyway. So, I guess if she is recognized she didn't have time or the desire to disguise.

Exactly. From one of my favourite interviews (for the laughs) - http://bla.fleetwoodmac.net/index.ph..._v2&id=455&c=9

We left at 4:30 p.m. for the 8:15 concert. Sound check is early because, whatever the voodoo that she do, Stevie, who brings her two Yorkies, "needs three hours to get ready."

Why?

"She gets a massage."

But if you have to get "up" for a performance, isn't massage relaxing, not stimulating?

Lindsey, who "personally could arrive 15 minutes before and walk right onstage," doesn't know. He only knows she needs three hours to get ready.

I need three hours to get ready for my work. I can do it in quicker time but if I want to wake up, have three cups of coffee and catch up on all my internet stuff, I need three hours, dammit.

[TheGreenBlues]

I enjoyed it, I could listen to Mick tell stories all day even if they are the same ones over and over. Although I didn't like when Mick was pointing to someone and telling them where to stand while they opened a bottle of water for him.

Really wish John was included.

LOL! IKR! The older I get the longer it takes me to get ready too...

Obviously you've never given a two hour stage performance. Singing involves utilising the accessory muscles in the chest...to sing well you need to consciously adjust your breathing so that you breathe using your diaphragm, rather than breathing with your upper lungs like most people do in everyday life.

Stevie Nicks is 65 years old so her muscle tone has declined signficantly as a natural part of ageing, this is not preventable and can only be delayed through regular weight training. Not only does Stevie sing while on stage, obviously she dances around a lot and stands for minimum two hours without ever sitting down during this time period.

I guess what I am trying to say is yes, Stevie wants to "get up" and in the zone, she wants to be psyched and energetic before she goes on stage...however for a woman of her age extra pre-performances measures such as a massage are a wise choice just to relax her muscles, release some tension and so on; in turn this will help her to dance more freely and fluidly on stage.

Sorry, too much information?

TL;DR: Stage performances are physically gruelling and a pre-show massage helps to prevent some of the wear and tear/pain on the body that can result from the singing/dancing/standing for a long time on stage. Also lets Nicks loosen up a little to feel fresh, calm her pre-show nerves/jitters and settle herself mentally so that she can focus on putting on a great show I would say!

Warning: Rant about celebrities being privileged and not appreciating it

Edit: Sorry - did not realise that you were quoting Lindsey Buckingham! Ick that man is a silly old fool...he doesn't understand women at all, nor does he have an empathy for Stevie, clearly. But the interview is quite funny!!! Ah, Linds.....

^I must say I read the above interview in full and cannot believe what I am reading. Honestly. "Matching earrings" are the only thing Kristen has to forgo while travelling with Lindsey and the kids? Sorry to LB fans but...JesusMaryandJoseph! Last time I checked my bank account the balance was about $2 Australian. Not $200000000, just two dollars. I would not buy my girlfriend or any of friends/family a diamond necklance with matching earrings when the same money could be spent on, oh, I don't know - maybe putting food on the table. Pay the rent, power bills, council rates, electricity. Luckily my parents support me - but they don't have much money either. It sickens me to see celebrities splurge on meaningless possessions when there are families who work damn hard: people who have never done cocaine. People who couldn't afford cocaine. People who have always worked when there is wrk available and have done so for very little reumeration. People with money should donate it to charities to help the homeless. Or sponsor people who are doing it tough. Just how sheltered Kirsten must be when jewellery on Mother's Day is a given, no questions asked. I'm going to say it: trophy wife maybe?

[DashingDan]

What I like so far about this interview is that the interviewer asks SN a question that I always wanted asked and that is about her parents and her drug use. Makes sense, she just shut them out.

from 2 soundchecks i heard on this tour, i don't think Stevie soundchecks with them, at least i didn't hear her voice. the 2 songs they soundchecked both times were SHN and The Chain, some time around 6pm.

i didn't realize they were in SN's dressing room in those before the show scenes in DR doc - i need to rewatch it!

One time I thought they were in the boys' dressing room. That time when they said "Where's Lindsey?" and the answer was that he was relieving himself. I could have done with, "He's in the rest room," rather than "He's peeing."

yeah and he's yelling back "not yet!". he seems to be peeing right before the show in almost every single doc and apparently doesn't mind sharing the fact.

Pretty sure it's Stevie's dressing room - even when LB is in the bathroom.

I've always gotten a kick out of bathroom etiquette. I'm just glad no one said, "he's indisposed." That's the only expression I'm not fond of. In my bathroom, above the toilet on the wall I have a real street sign that reads: NO DUMPING ALLOWED
