No one came out on the balcony again during the 20 minutes that I was there, but Dave did affirm that they'd be shooting at an inside location and I have a really good feeling that they did all of this in the condo. Crazy!

You know what would blow my mind? What if Stevie took that pic?

THAT is incredible! How the heck did you know where her condo was? Or is it common knowledge out there in L.A.?

There are ways of finding it on Google Earth, but they shun on us posting them here on The Ledge. Let's just say, in the words of Yellowcard... There's a place off Ocean Avenue.

Yep - he was wearing one at his Nashville concert in December.

Oh big fuggin' deal. People gotta live somewhere, and Stevie just happened to choose a spot right on the PCH that anybody can stroll/drive past. I just can't imagine that it would be particularly healthy/serene breathing in all of those fumes and hearing the traffic whirring by 24/7. And doesn't she still have that house up in the Malibu hills?

Location aside, am I the only one who is a bit concerned by the, um, low budget DIY nature of this video project? Okay, I can accept Dave Stewart may have a personally vested interest in working on the video, but shouldn't they be on a soundstage in Burbank or something? Why on earth are they shooting a video inside of her condo? Is she going to be standing at her kitchen counter stabbing an onion with a Ginsu knife when she mouths the words "...my secret love secretly died?" There should be dry ice. Industrial fans blowing around yards of chiffon. And more treadmills, puhlease! Hopefully they are going to shoot in other locations, and I don't mean the condo complex's pool and bocce court!

Where is this video going to played? I mean, what outlet does she have? They are playing it safe. Why make a million dollar video if your not sure people will pick it up.

She has a chance at being played on one of the VH1 channels. But mostly I suspect this is being made for YouTube. Still, considering the incredibly elaborate videos she has made in the past, why sully her legacy with something cheesy? This isn't a rap video featuring acres of marble, bottles of Kristal, hot tubs, ocean view balconies, etc. This is supposed to be a surreal dream-like accompaniment to a very dreamy, atmostpheric song. It would be cool if it took on the surreal vibe of the single cover artwork, but I'm not sure if that can be accomplished within the confines of Stevie's modernist aerie.

Hilarious! She could have cut the budget even more if she had called Lindsey, told him to throw down those decorative pears and bring his camcorder on over.

You don't even know for sure what they are doing or planning, yet. And they made Sorceror and Everday on pretty cheap budgets.

I have a very difficult time believing that "Every Day" was a "cheap" video. I mean, do you know what it costs to rent black swans these days??!!

BTW, if you want to be Stevie's neighbor, it will only cost you about five big ones:




Looking past the exquisitely ugly decor in this unit, I could possibly see the potential in capturing some dramatic footage. This room reminds me of some of the pictures used on the inner sleeves of the Tusk LP.

No worries...it will probably be b&w and grainy... I just hope they don't have her wallering in a bed with Mick...

I sensed there was something missing in the pic above! You just can't be too rich, too thin or have too many pears on the floor!

I'm sure the "Secret Love" vid will be fine. Yes, probably not as glossy and polished as her TISL videos, but aside from those and maybe "Rooms On Fire", I always thought her solo videos were sorta an afterthought, and not terribly elaborate considering that Stevie Nicks was such a visually compelling *Rock Star* in her heyday. I mean the video for "Gypsy" set the bar high, and after that she never really delivered a production on that scale again, as far as the total package; sets, extras, background dancers, theme, etc.(though she tried and failed with the Scarlett - Stand Back).

It's also worth mentioning "Rooms On Fire" was filmed at Stevie's rented mansion at that time, with the performance footage filmed on a soundstage. And that video was beautiful.

I'm still waiting for the quintessential Stevie Nicks solo video. Maybe Dave Stewarts film on Stevie will be the total package. Till then "Gypsy" will forever be in my mind the quintessential Stevie Nicks vid of them all.

"Every Day" was not a cheap video. I would say it could possibly be one of Stevie's more expensive. On the other hand "Sorcerer " was a great looking video done on a smaller scale & budget.
