That would have been perfect, especially last night. I had it in my head as we trekked up to the venue.

Put on some rubber bands to hold up those leg warmers.

Live review: Stevie Nicks @ Red Rocks Amphitheatre
By Ray Mark Rinaldi | August 10th, 2011 |

Stevie Nicks is on the road pushing her best new album in two decades and she wasn’t about to let the crowd held captive at Red Rocks Amphitheatre Tuesday night get away without hearing it — a lot of it. The veteran rocker, whose iconic compositions “Landslide” and “Rhiannon” are as familiar as the national anthem, loaded this kick-off show to her latest tour with six tunes from the listenable new disc “In Your Dreams.”

That’s an unusual move, but it made for a fine evening under the stars at Red Rocks and allowed Nicks to step away from the cliches that have defined her career. This night wasn’t about tambourines with flowing ribbons (though she banged a few) and it wasn’t about her trademark whirling dervish bit (though she spun a few times during “Stand Back”). And it wasn’t even about the whole gypsy get up (though she she was done over in lacey things and changed from a sparkly red shawl to a sparkly gold one for the song “Gold Dust Woman”).

.
It was more about Stevie the songwriter. Nicks saved up her best efforts for the fresh “Annabel Lee,” the country-fied “For What It’s Worth,” the poppy “Secret Love,” and mostly, for the anthemic “Soldier’s Angel,” a song she wrote after a visit with ailing soldiers at a military hospital.

Fans gave her the benefit of the doubt — even if those songs didn’t inspire as much dancing and arm-waving as the familiar tunes they paid to hear. It helped that Red Rocks was cooperating. The night was balmy and clear and just as Nicks launched into her finale, a pumped-up “Edge of Seventeen,” the wind kicked up big-time swirling around the stage. Nicks knew to make the most of it. She leaned in, let hair and her ribbons and her voice fly, and delivered a high-energy version of her rock’n’roll hit that was pure Stevie.

I thought the show was really excellent. I have some video up on youtube. The account name is granitedog. Some are still being processed, but should be up soon. The unprocessed ones are not labeled yet. I've only listened to snippets and I'm disappointed with the sound quality on some of them. Oh well.. A new camera might be in order.

Former Fleetwood Mac legend takes the stage on Tuesday

When someone like Stevie Nicks comes to Denver, the only place worthy of her classic hits to be performed is at an equally legendary venue like Red Rocks Amphitheatre. And so on Tuesday night, the two legends were joined as the former Fleetwood Mac star took to the stage, and played a set that showcased her timeless talent, at a timeless venue.

Stevie played a mix of her classic hits all the way from the 70’s to her latest album “In Your Dreams,” which, not surprisingly, appeared on Billboards charts at number six in July, and has had numerous raving revues. The weather was warm and the skies were clear to make way for a perfect night with Stevie and her fans.

Starting things off was Michael Grimm, winner of season 5 of “America’s Got Talent.” Grimm played a set of soul-filled songs that seemed to warm up the crowd well. Then it was time for Stevie to take the stage, immediately jumping into playing hits like “Landslide” and “Stand Back,” which were surely the crowd favorites of the evening.

But the crowd seemed to enjoy some of Stevie’s new work as well, with songs like “Secret Love,” which is a song the Grammy winner wrote for the Fleetwood record “Rumours” but did not make the final cut for the album. Fans soaked in the voice many seemed so familiar with, as well as enjoyed a classic night on the rocks.—Josh Barrett, Special to Metromix

We have a bunch more. Although a lot didn't turn out very good.

Before the show.

The red rocks look just like parts of Camelback Mountain in Phoenix. It's no wonder Stevie loves this place.

Just watched some of the videos on Youtube. Looks like Stevie got her hair trimmed.

Anyway, she sounded great, from what I've seen so far

I watched Soldier's Angel with the girls. It wasn't quite as riveting as it was with LB (I was hanging on their every word when watching the Wiltern performance) but it was still very good.
