Funny enough I'm spending the night right up the road from this school tonight!!!

OMG!!! I thought you had amazing photoshop skills..I mean it still looked realistic and made sense..until I just pulled up the actual BN cover. And what do you know?! The feathers were there all along! I love these little discoveries..

Her honesty and sincerity to herself AND fans are what have established her legacy..and what will sustain it for years to come. I. love. this. woman.

Good spotting! That hadn't even occurred to me. Of course, I'd say they were Janis feathers from the beginning. Stevie Nicks stays true to her inspirations!

Right? It was an incredible group up there. Glad you had a good time! It was so lovely to see you and meet Banshee.

I don't know about 5AM, but I can think of little I'd rather do than rewind to some reasonable hour on Saturday.

That's amazing. If it's not the same one, it's a homage to it. I'm going to jot that down as a message.

Oh really?! You learn something new every day...

To add to my other list, I was also stoked that she mentioned Christine twice during the show!

Bummed I wasn't able to meet any Ledgies though...

The Stevie Nicks show at the Fillmore on Sunday night was like a time warp to an early Eighties high school. Although most of the women in the audience were in their 40s and 50s, they were competing for “Best Dressed” like girls more than half their age. They paid tribute to their Queen Stevie in dark velvet, shimmering shawls, and long skirts. If I didn’t know better, I would say they’d kept those clothes in their closets for 20 years just for this occasion. But shopping with my mom has taught me that they sell it all at Chico’s.

When the lights went down all the fashion, pretense, and iPhone surfing ceased. Nicks walked onstage to the roar of an adoring crowd. We were screaming, waving our hands, jumping up and down, and squealing. She was beautiful, charismatic, sexy. Nicks gave us a shy nod then put her game face on: ready to rock.

Over the next two hours we were transfixed, willing to go wherever she took us. She started with her Eighties hit “Stand Back.” We danced and sang the lyrics back to her, pumping our arms in the air with every repetition of “Stand back!” She announced that she’d be playing some of her new songs because they’re “some of (her) best work. This is not a greatest hits show.” Fine with us, Stevie. We just wanted to hear you sing.

She knew what we wanted and drew us hungrily along, panting and begging for it. She waited a few songs before revealing her signature, winged sleeves and spinning around to the music. We roared. She announced “Landslide” as the “song that everyone keeps paying to hear” with irony, but without sarcasm. We cried and sang through our tears: “I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills.” She gave us a knowing smile: “I’m getting older, too.”

Peppered in among her hits were the aforementioned new songs, including “Moonlight (A Vampire’s Dream)," which she wrote after seeing Twilight: New Moon. I seemed to be the only audience member who knew this connection (maybe because I was one of few under the age of 30) and tried to jump up and down as quietly as I could. Nicks also gave a lengthy intro to her new song “Soldier’s Angel,” which took her four years to write and was inspired by her work with the Wounded Warriors Project. These new songs fell a little flat on the album, but when performed live by Nicks, they became rocking, sweeping epics. The new hits.

It was a night of drama, with a flashy light show and three costume changes. But what else would we expect from Stevie Nicks? She’s drama and fantasy and old school rock. All the guys want to be with her and all the girls want to be her, even when they’re 50-plus.

During the band intros she said her keyboardist (whos name just escaped me) was the best ever, "after Christine" or something to that effect.

There was another mention but that too escapes me at the moment...

Probably something like "Ricky Peterson, the bast Hammond Organ player I know, besides Christine McVie"

The program I use converts flac files first to wav, so if anyone still needs mp3, let me know.

This link is to the folder and am half way done at this point. Uploading in reverse order so they are correct in sequence in the folder.

Didn't she say a few years ago she has something from JJ's wardrobe? Was it feathers?
