Nicks Making 'Dreams' Come True In Vegas

joe68 · #1 03-15-2005, 05:21 PM

Stevie Nicks will begin a four-night stand at the Colosseum at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas on May 10, under the moniker "Dreams." "I am looking forward to it because it's a chance to play and do something where you don't really have to travel," the artist said backstage last night (March 14) at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in New York.

"So, for me, as an almost 57-year-old woman, this looks very good, because it means you can put all of your energy into the show as opposed to traveling all over the United States," she added. "It would be a nice thing for me to be able to do until I'm a very old, little old lady."

Nicks says the show will consist of "favorite songs, which you don't always get to do. This is a chance for me to go back through all those many, many years and pick out a few songs I haven't always done. It's always exciting to do some new music."

The artist would not comment on reports that she will tour this summer with Don Henley, saying only, "I can't talk about that because I'm not sure. I really don't know."

As for Fleetwood Mac, which played nearly 140 shows in support of the 2003 comeback album "Say You Will," Nicks says, "We're just resting right now, because we feel that as all wonderful things go, you come out and you make a big show of it, and then you go away for a little bit and rest, so when you come back, it's all wonderful again."

Added drummer Mick Fleetwood, who held Nicks' hand tightly while answering questions, "I think there's always a Fleetwood Mac story somewhere." Asked if longtime member Christine McVie would ever return to the fold, he replied, "I think [the chances are] very, very slim [or] next to nothing, so I will say no. But we miss her."

Well, after the overwhelming response, night after night, to Beautiful Child, just from her introducing the song, she'd be a fool not to pull some more gems out of the top hat!

Theres a good chance I will be Flying from Massachusetts to vegas for these shows. If She does anything from OSOTM ill be thrilled. All I have to do is get someone to go with me and I can go. I think ill be going for Friday and Saturday nights show. I swear if she does Alice at one of these shows my Stevie Nicks goal will be completed.

I was happy to see " I will put all of my energy into these shows".

After reading this and seeing pics I NEED TO GO!

I'm sooooo glad I decided to follow my gut and buy tickets! I'm really hoping she follows through on this and plays some good stuff.

I'm feeling a "Crystal" and "Blue Lamp" vibe could possibly happen. Maybe "The Highwayman", too, since she talked about trying to do it at a past AHI show. It's too much to hope for "Storms", as I have a feeling she'll be concentrating on solo material.

I wish that I coulda done Tuesday opening night to get blown away by the surprise, but here's hoping to my willpower will be able to hold up for a coupla days and I'll stay away from this joint and be surprised on Friday.

I'm getting exciiiiiiiiiited!

The orchestra 4, row J tix were $375, and the row M were $340...where'd you see the front rows for over $1000?
