I am like the rest of you I cannot seat at a concert I am up and moving and dancing and singing usually have a cool people near me at least one side was really cool and the other side it was older couple very nice before the show i warned them i will be dancing and singing and up the whole time so ever so often the older guy next to me would be sarcastic to me and scream and grab my hand and he had the nerve to tell the lady in front of him to sit down she was dancing and grooving like me so she looked at him and she did sit i will not sit refuse too I told the guy next to me I said I paid $148 dollars for this ticket its my spot i will stand here and have a blast and that is what we do at a rock especially a Stevie Nicks concert you do get into the music and the rest of the fans around you just have a blast I just rocked I will say to the person nicely if they can not see they can stand up like the rest of us. The ushers and workers are not friendly at all at Foxwoods MGM Grand prefer the Mohegan Sun hope she will play there love the venue at MGM Grand awesome venue the people that work there suck not friendly at all.

See my feeling is, it's a concert, people WILL be up and dancing and for a while think they are Stevie herself!! I just hate it when it's in front of me!! If the crowd around me is up, then I'll be up getting into it, but if everyone around me is calm, I remain as calm as I can (REALLY tough during "Stand Back" or "Edge Of Seventeen"!!).
As for Foxwoods over Mohegan, I love the theater at Foxwoods, but I HATE the casino. Unless you get down and go right into the show and then leave it's fun. But I like to get there early and get something to eat etc. But the casino seems to be aimed more at high rollers only. I like Foxwoods when it first opened and saw a couple shows in the old theater and that was great. I just wish the MGM theater would move to Mohegan, I like that casino SO much more. Not just the casino part, the whole Mohegan Sun I like better. But I unless they make a better deal, I fear Stevie will be back at the MGM next year.

No kidding. I was getting worried when NONE of the other shows had popped up yet. Am very happy to see that someone recorded the show I was at. I try to get boots of all the Stevie shows I go to, was thinking this one wouldn't make it. (Although I did have to wait 20 years to get a hold of the RAL show I went to!!)

I'm very grateful for whoever posted the recordings. However, is there a recording of the opener 'Fall from Grace'? Such a surprise to start a show with that song!

[MacMan]

So who do we suppose the "Mary" is that she's known since the mid 70's that she dedicates Landslide to? Could it be Mary Devito? (I think thats her last name). And I love this recording, she sounds awesome.

That was my guess but I couldn't see that well to tell.

Thanks for sharing, these sound good! This recording of 'You Wreck Me' sounds better to me than it did in person- strengthening my opinion that the Left Mezzanine just had bad sound, which makes a little sense, the way the speakers are situated, I think those to the far left and up higher wouldn't get the full sound impact. I've only downloaded 4 of the songs, but she sounds really good. Thank you again for sharing.

Stevie Nicks a strong, elegant, presence at Foxwoods

Mashantucket, Conn. — The glamorous trappings were there – the black lace, the white shawl, blond hair – but for Stevie Nicks and her packed house at MGM Grand at Foxwoods Saturday, the thread throughout was the beat.

The Fleetwood Mac principal and solo performer, synonymous with all things ethereal, took to the stage with an elegant presence underscored by a strong, percussive sound. Her imagery and characters may have a celestial touch, but her delivery was firmly planted on terra firma.

With a back screen projecting elemental images – such as falling rain, and for “Edge of Seventeen,” the archetypal white-winged dove, soaring in dream-like slow motion through space – the set list was a delight for Nicks fans with much-loved favorites, such as “Dreams,” “Rhiannon,” and “Stand Back.”
But, the woman who gave rock its feminine side also drew inspiration from some of the guys -- with inspired renditions of songs by Bob Seger, her long-time friends Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and ended with a nod to the past – Led Zeppelin’s “Rock And Roll.”

Standards such as “Gold Dust Woman” – the dark, heady exit cut on Fleetwood Mac’s “Rumours” – probably did as much as Bauhaus’ “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” to inspire a generation of gothic bands. On this night, the song’s sepulchral spirit lived again, only fresh, new, and disquieting as ever.

Nicks gave a much-deserved nod to her band, and long-time musical director, Waddy Wachtel, for helping to bring the vitality to a body of work sometimes dismissed as flighty and delicate, and detached from worldly cares.

But this has never really been true. Few coming of age songs resonate are as plaintive “Landslide,” which evoked a spontaneous, choir-like response as the audience sang along. Or “Edge of Seventeen,” which is more than about a longing for a forbidden love; it’s a mature woman’s acceptance of its truth.

And, “Still of The Night ”and “Outside The Rain,” from Nicks’ first solo album, “Bella Donna,” not as celebrated as other songs from this album, but jewels in their unadorned arrangements, and lyrics filled with passion and yearning for resolution.

In recent years, Nicks has infused a great deal more playful banter with her audience in her shows, with charmingly self-deprecating references to “Alice in Wonderland” and many warm salutes to people in her life who have inspired her works. It's hard not to feel that everyone is friends at her concert, because that is how she treats her audience -- another enduring Nicks hallmark.

The only missing feature was a signature of Nicks’ performances – changes of costume, each signifying various facets of the identities evoked in her songs.

But this too many signify a sea change – in case anyone should doubt it, it always has been about the music, and a great music maker who now as ever does more than just rock a little.
