Stevie was part of the end jam on Oprah (Joan Jett ditched it). I think she even banged the tambo a little. She must've had to scoot or she was backstage chatting it up and missed her cue. Lol

I just finished watching the show. What a great tribute to Buddy. Stevie was great of course, but I totally enjoyed the whole program, very enjoyable. Chris was great as a host. Also nice to see Waddy, Russ, and the girls remain on stage for the whole set too.

The show and the cd are great! I don't know if you had the opportunity to read the liner notes that accompanied the cd (PAGES of them), but here's what Peter Asher had to say about Team Stevie:

Not Fade Away / Stevie Nicks

Stevie Nicks' voice and style are national treasures! She is a valued friend and as one of the very first people we invited to be a part of this project, Stevie had first pick. I initially suggested another song but Stevie chose Not Fade Away, and how right she was. I co-produced this track with my dear friend and colleague (and one of the finest guitarists in the whole of rock and roll) Waddy Wachtel and we brought in the legendary rhythm section of Russ Kunkell and Leland Sklar. Waddy and Stevie have worked together as a team for quite a while so it was the perfect setup. And I was very priviledged to join Lori Nicks and Sharon Celani as one of the "Bopettes" in singing our version of the original background parts! Stevie's vocal was cut live-she sang with an intensity and determniation that is a treat to hear.

And how about Stevie on It's So Easy on the show? In the words of my friend Waddy Wachtel, didn't she kick the hell out of it?! YES, she sure did!!! Peter calls Waddy guitar maestro.

I would have loved to have had Linda Ronstadt LIVE at this performance. As Peter Asher says of Linda on the liner notes for That'll Be The Day: "Linda is as big a Buddy Holly fan as I am . . . Linda's vocal is so powerful it makes me love her all over again--she remains one of the best singers in the world."

Locally, on PBS, Chris Isaac stopped in during the telethon part of the show and had a lot of great things to say about both Stevie and Waddy. If you haven't seen the PBS program yet, there's still time! (Travis)

Thanks (again) for the heads up bc, I keep forgetting to look for this. I hope it's not too late.

When did Stevie record the studio version? Late 2009? I remember talk about the cover in Early 2010.

[Johnny Stew]

Knocked it out of the ballpark!

[David]

She really does this one well.

I keep the studio version of this on my MP3 player. The band plays it well, too. Who's the band?

[WildHearted]

SHe did a studio recording of this?

[THINKABOUTIT]

Stevie had to leave right after "It's So Easy", for another event

[THINKABOUTIT]

Anyone have the MP3's? I want them on my IPOd!!!

i dont think that Stevie did a studio version. Zooey Deschanel did it for the album, but couldn't make it to the concert, so Stevie sang it.

Yes, that's right. She was standing in the doorway, then she ran up the stairs and down the hall.

OMG! THANK YOU for posting this. Here in the Milwaukee area, the local PBS station pulled it on the day it was supposed to broadcast. (I had it ready to dvr) they even pulled the 3 or 4 rebroadcasts.... still have no idea why???
