In Concert Video

I just watched the Stevie Nicks In Concert vid today for the first time in a really LONG time, and I was just blown away all over again!
I was getting chills from her voice, and for some reason I was literally close to tears several times (no clue why.) So if you haven't seen it in a while - WATCH IT AGAIN SOON!

That version of Gold And Braid is amazing in every way. It ruined me for the Enchanted Tour version.

That's what hooked me!!

Funny thing is I saw it when it "premiered" on HBO when I was around 12. I saw it...was mesmerized...in awe and wonder

Since I live in Los Angeles, I got to see Stevie's shows at the Fox Wilshire Theatre in Beverly Hills, where this was filmed. They had just renovated the theater, & Stevie was the first artist to play the newly decked-out venue -- it was a beautiful place. I think it's even still in business, but they have plays there now. John Stewart was the opening act. Stevie didn't join him for "Gold," by the way, which was silly. He played a lot of his "Bombs Away, Dream Babies" songs, he had a Turner electric, & I remember him saying that Stevie was going to fly in on her broomstick or something.

When she played "Gold & Braid," it was quite a buzz. We didn't know what it was. We didn't even know who wrote it. I figured it was some old Motown-type song that she was covering. I think it was the only time I've ever heard Stevie perform something absolutely brand new to the audience. We knew "I Need to Know" even though she was playing it for the first time -- everybody knew Petty's songs. That was a major buzz, too, hearing her rip into that on the first night. The crowd cheered, but they seem to have edited a lot of that noisy reaction out of the video.

Lucky you. I'd be on the floor if she debuted a new song with no hype at a concert. I know, it'll never happen again.

Her version of Leather and Lacve from this is also stellar

Yes, it is (I love their harmonies & that frozen shot at the end as the light fades), though I hate that it's left out of the video. At least it's on the compilation video.

same here. i think it premiered on HBO in like February of 1982. i remember seeing the previews for it. there was one clip of her at the beginning of "edge of seventeen" when she's walking on stage and twirls and raises her arms behind Waddy and then sings the first few verses. i had already starting liking her when "stop draggin et al" came out so this was cool that i got more exposure to everything else she was doing...the rest is history.

Now why would they do that when the networks give us the gifts of Britney and Christina concerts?

That performance alone is worth the cost of the video no matter how high you bid on it on Ebay!

Stevie stamping around with her tamborine is just priceless too.

I think she needs to revive this kind of dancing for the current tour
