It was a great looking Stevie tonite on the "Chris Isaak Christmas" episode of Soundstage...She looked damn sexy, Much better than she did on the "Live In Boston" Soundstage/DVD/etc. Even a few camera closeups from the side proved she looked much sexier than ever...And her voice sounded great, But sounded just undermixed a tad.

Chris Isaak introduced Stevie the following humorous way:

"One of the nice things about being in show business is to not only to be able to entertain but to also find and discover new talent and we have somebody tonight I think you will hear alot of in the future and I want you to give her a warm welcome, Stevie Nicks...Remember that name."

Of course she sang on "Santa Claus is Coming to Town", But only after being teased with a few musical bars of a song Chris called a "Christmas classic". Once the jazzy music started, the piano player, Scott Plunkett, lead everyone on the forementioned "Christmas Classic" alright, A few short bars of Rhiannon to which Stevie was amused to hear. (It sounded quite cool...They should have played the whole version of it in that jazzy-esqe sound!)

Stevie finished the song ("Santa Claus is Coming To Town") and after a very short intermission she came back to the stage with the other special guests, Brian McKnight & the other guy whos name escapes me at the moment to sing "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" in which Stevie sounded great.

Btw, The credits showed the following phone number where you can purchase the "Chris Isaak Christmas" DVD, Which includes bonus footage not shown tonite for $19.95 (Maybe some bonus Stevie footage???)

1-866-383-4643

I recommend watching this show if it airs on yer local PBS station...Very entertaining and very humorous!!!

I couldn't agree more. I thought it was a wonderful performance...the only downside being that it came to an end far too soon.

From what I heard, it sounded incredibly good and yes, despite having no picture, I laughed at Chris's jokes. I think i'm going to end up ordering it

his jokes were pretty good, But the "Christmas Classic" song was the best one

Mine didn't air it!!

Soundstage was a no show here in RI and only in Boston IF you have digital which I don't.

[ontheEdgeof17]

No air here, either.


It was on at 5 am, but I went to the bar and got home around 2 and needed much sleep. If I stayed home, I was going to just get up and pop in a tape since my TV timer is whack. Oh well, such is life.

Hmmm...so who is gonna be the first to put this performance onto a wma file and post it somewhere? hellooo?

PBS in Houston is now split into two channels - digital cable and air broadcast (which also shows up on primitive cable).

The digital channel premiered the special last night, and is showing it about 15 times this month. If you have regular cable or are watching PBS with rabbit ears, you have to wait until Dec. 18th. The only other time the regular broadcast will show it is on Dec. 24th.

Which sucks, IMHO.
