Stevie Nicks is magical, gorgeous, simply mesmerizing – it's unbelievable she will celebrate her 60th birthday this year. At an age when most of her peers have retired, it's as if she's just getting started.

Nicks still looks amazing – nearly flawless porcelain skin, a fierce mane of long blonde hair and a body that still fits into those corset dresses quite nicely. Her deep, sensual voice didn't crack once Saturday night at Honda Center in Anaheim, as she belted out lyrics with ease to close Cal State Fullerton's annual "Front & Center" gala fund-raiser. She worked the crowd over with her eyes, tossing seductive glances at video cameras as she pranced around the stage, slipping into her signature twirls, slapping her tambourine and innocently playing with her flowing skirts and scarves.



For her part, Nicks exuded elegance and maturity as she confidently fired through "Dreams," "If Anyone Falls in Love" and "Edge of Seventeen," despite the fact that several fans could be heard screaming out the wrong lyrics to that last one – "just like the way we love" instead of "just like the white-winged dove." But this was mostly a die-hard crowd, dozens of female admirers clad in true Stevie garb – crushed-velvet outfits, cinched corsets, flowing gypsy skirts and black gloves in leather, satin or lace.

Nicks never disappointed, and ended the evening with a bang - a cover of Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll" after a final wardrobe change into a flowing white-and-black top and a chunky top hat with a giant feather sticking out of it. The song brought the crowd to its feet once more, as hordes of people rushed the stage to dance and hopefully touch Nicks as she graciously reached out and shook at least 50 hands eagerly extended in her direction.

I like it when they say nice things.
And she looks amazing in the pics - much better than she did even a couple of years ago.

Good. I understand the need to avoid all the germs, but I really hate those things.

She had on the gloves for GDW, so I was surprised when they were off for the Edge Walk. What makes it worse is that they look to be bulky leather gloves.

Often for the Edge Walk she stuffs her hair down her coat, but she didn't do that this time either. Her hair was down and I did see a few people touching it. Michele

Glad to hear everyone had a good time. Kind of sucks the set was so short, but I guess that's to be expected for this type of show. Great pics, thanks to those that posted!

wow, rest really does a body good. she looks stunning!

I see she's still wearing that diamond-encrusted crescent moon from Soundstage...I guess it's not for special occasions anymore.

Some more popped up

Edge Part 1
Edge Part 2
Landslide
Dreams
If Anyone Falls

Hopefully some more will pop up soon - they're all coming from the same Youtube username.

I just have to say - I haven't seen her be so bouncy and into Edge like she is in this video. I think she was totally drawing an energy rush from the crowd.

Edge was amazing, I don't know if you can tell by the video, but all the school's drama kids and honored graduates started off at the side of the stage, and worked their way right in front of Stevie's mic and were all dancing and throwing their arms up, really into it. If they were REALLY into it, we'll never know, but Stevie sure thought they were.
