Seriously. If a bootleg (I'm hoping for video, but I'd go for anything) of this show comes up, I'm going to try my darndest to get ahold of it.

I actually told my mom about this show & my hopes for it being bootlegged tonight at dinner.

Condition? The word condition makes it seem as if something more than just a cold is going on w/ her. Am I just being paranoid? I just worry about her.

Susie, i'm sure she'll be fine. As someone who's been singing since she could talk, I can say with great certainty that Silver Springs is not the most taxing vocal in the setlist. I spoke to a few people who were at the show last night after it was over. She was excellent vocally on every song. Sooo, I doubt it's anything terribly serious. Just being on the road itself can be highly stressful and draining. I don't think Alex meant "condition" in the way you're taking it. I'm sure it's nothing to be freaked out about and if she really is indeed feeling a bit under the weather, i'm sure they're doing everything they can to remedy the situation

This is what I'm concerned about - she seems to get sick (either her asthma, bronchitis or both) each tour (TISL & Enchanted Tours both come to mind, as does Street Angel.)
Hopefully she's just learning from experience & taking it easy before she wears herself out & they have to postpone or cancel any shows.

Oh, silly dreamer! Of course it won't.

Of course dropping the song from the setlist had to do with her voice. Just because the woman wasn't attached to an intravenous tube doesn't mean her vocal chords weren't hurt.

If only someone had sneaked in a digital camcorder to make a record of all that went on that night...

Too true Carne. My friend is a singer.. funnily enough in an FM tribute band and if she has even a hint of a cold or flu she has to take it easy on her voice. And on worse occasions she has to not sing at all or risk damaging her vocal chords

Absolutely. And Stevie wrote The Odd Couple theme song, but they cut out her lyrics. They ended up as the song "Rock A Little".

I would guess opera singers take much better care of their vocal chords than rock vocalists. One of the things I've noticed, since I run around in singer/songwriter and band circles, is that we all take extra good care of our instruments. I've seen guys get sick about putting dings on their guitars (OK, myself included!) but hardly anyone seems to take as much caution with their voices. One friend in particular was fairly coarse from a cold at one point last fall, went up on stage for a short set and toward the end he was missing evey other syllable. And the ones that came out sounded like a well-worn horn on a 49 Ford. It made me decide then and there that if I am having trouble talking, I have no business getting in front of the mic.

But it ain't happened yet.

LOL!!! Oh my god, stop the madness Dissention!! I just got the most wicked mental images from your post!

thanks for the much needed laugh.

...back in 1976, I saw them at the GW Forum (as OPENING act for Dave Mason), two songs after Stevie just lit up the place with one of those era's "Rhiannon"s, they STARTED into "Landslide" but stopped after the first line, Stevie turned to Lindsey, put her hand to her throat and shook her head...Lindsey apologized for not finishing the song because Stevie had a bad cold. Of course, she hit every note on all her backgrounds on "Over My Head" & "Why"...and later she was in fine "tongues" during the crescendo of "Green Manalishi"...but after stopping "Landslide", she didn't do another lead vocal the rest of the set. And because they weren't the headliner, they didn't do "Blue Letter", they did "Rattlesnake Shake" instead. So, I take it at face value that she didn't do "Silver Springs" because she was sick.

Thanks for the post. That is a really cool story.

And it is further evidence that Stevie scrapped SS due to illness or a sore throat. I'm positive it'll be back for future shows.

You must be kidding. Being on the road with Fleetwood Mac is "highly stressful" & "draining"?! Do the Stevie Nicks fans have any concept of reality left in their wild, wild hearts?

Stevie's always getting sick because she's around everybody else's children. It's the preschool syndrome for the childless aunt, which everyone has either experienced or heard about. Parents build up some immunities to all the little rugrats; non-parents don't. Add to that the typically germ-laden air in airplane cabins -- especially when runny-nosed little kids are around -- & there you have it.

I don't know about any of you, but I'd revel in being on the road, especially if I was part of Fleetwood Mac. Private jets, daily massages, luxurious hotel suites with jacuzzi baths, c'mon! It's not like any single one of them are actually lugging the equipment around and setting it all up; all they have to do is sing and play their instruments every other night. And they get millions for doing it, too. If that's stressful, sign my ass up.
