Even in Stevie's twirling and high kicking days she never strutted and pranced around like Mick Jagger. And I'm glad she didn't. That's just not her style. After seing the Stones play at the Super Bowl I think it's time they seriously consider retirement...for good.

I think when it comes to energy, Tina and Bette are at the top of the heap, and have always been there. Stevie was born in 1948. She's still the new kid on the block. None of them have to work hard at this point in their careers, but if you still put yourself out there, fans expect a great show. I haven't exactly heard anyone complaining about Stevie's performances on the Aussie tour. Maybe she has a bug or was out late. (She gets on a midnight plane, she's done it a thousand times?)

okay i HAVE to comment
Bette #$&@ing ROCKS in concert
i have NEVER seen her live before until last year
and WOAH
she wore me out and i'm 23

me thinks Stevie MAY have had too much tequila

I think they have to put on a good performance because they're aren't too nice to look at, unlike Stevie who's still hot. lol.

Yeah well the Super Bowl performance was bad.sound and performance wise..But you can;t compare that to the show they put on while on the tour..No comparison what so ever..
and you can;t compare Stevie to the Stones or any other ..cause Stevie is Stevie..and we love her just the way she is..

[val721]

yaaaa stevie is lookin hot these days

no way yo!!
Melbourne was killer.............not the BEST show i have ever seen her at
and probably not the best show on this leg
but she was NOT not happy to be there imo.........she was very silly

Oh, I totally agree. You can't compare the Stones and Stevie Nicks. Two completely different performances. IMO, the Stones are out to shock with their antics. Stevie just sings her music as she always has. Anyway, I don't want to upset Stones fans. I liked their music a lot in 1968-1975

As far as the Stones go, I am so glad Stevie doesn't act like Mick Jagger. His Super Bowl antics really turned me off. I'm glad Stevie is more subtle and less obnoxious.

.. I'm not a big Stones fan myself..but I have to admit the show they put on here where I live was awesome this summer..There was so so much work into the whole show..It was sorta mind boggling the work that was done for just 1 day...It took us almost a month to build the custom made stage..and I have to admit watching Mick strut his stuff at his age was great. There were 4 other way younger bands that played before the Stones..and while they were really good...they didn;t hold a candle to Mick and the boys .as far as entertaining value..(moves ,dancing and getting the crowd involved..)

Give me a break. Stop making these pathetic excuses for the woman. I've never heard Stevie Nicks complaining that being a rock star is hard work. It's not. It's a hell of a lot of fun, and it's a pretty f*cking pampered existence.

"Just being Stevie Nicks?" Are you delusional?

By the way, if you're wondering why it took me so long to reply to this post: I spent three hours Tuesday night on trains and buses, after which trip I attempted to sleep on the hard floor of an airport for four hours. Once I arose, I had ahead of me a 19 hour day on two different flights, seated next to a one-year-old baby and a really fat guy, respectively. I was in the first economy row on each flight, and let me tell you, those poor shlubs in first class looked like they were really having a rough go of it, what with all the leg room and booze and warm towels. Just imagining them being forced to spend the next night in a different luxury suite than the one they'd woken up in that morning was so emotionally distressing for me that I nearly forgot about how sore my neck had been all day since I'd gotten up off the cold airport floor. My heart just bleeds for their thankless existences. They are truly the unsung heroes of this world.

I'm sure she has a packed and hectic schedule over there unlike you and I who are sitting on our asses behind a computer chatting on a forum.

Oh yes, by all accounts, her schedule is just grueling. I mean, all those hours doing her hair must really take it out of her.

On edit: The review said she seemed tired but still in top shape vocally and I think that's totally understandable.

I agree, it's totally reasonable for her to feel tired as a result of touring and traveling. What's not reasonable is this ridiculous attitude of "Poor Stevie, being a rock star is sooooo hard, it's so physically draining, can you even imagine!" I imagine Stevie herself would be the first one to admit that she doesn't need such bizarre sympathy. She knows how good she's got it.

thanks moonchilde... about the stones thing.. i mean we dont need to talk about them at all this isnt THEIR message board thing... but i mean if somone lkes their music theres no need to be an asshole about it. i love stevie and think shes such and amazing preformer anyways. shes my idol. mick just can get a crowd going and his strutting and what not i guess could get obnoxious to some but its not an act he was ALWAYS like that.
