A definitive answer to the MSO Concert DVD query...

Phil · #1 08-09-2007, 09:52 AM

Noticed this in the August 9 edition of the Australian Sun Herald newspaper:

Dear Hit,
I went to see Stevie Nicks in concert in Melbourne a little while ago and absolutely loved it. It was filmed and was going to be released on DVD. Do you know the release date because it has been some time since the concert?
Grahame

The concert was recorded for sound only. The cameras were used for the in-house screens only. Stevie loved the sound so much that night two live songs - Landslide and Edge Of Seventeen - appear on her new compilation album Crystal Visions - Ed
I guess this definitely puts paid to the idea of a dvd release. A shame but just as I expected.

Well maybe she will release another DVD...I mean the last one was in 1986...I think we all need to email Warner

I pretty much new it wasn't filmed the night the concert happened... No reports of cameras filming (in the traditional sense when a concert is being filmed)... and with the takes at the end of the first two songs without changing back into what she was wearing at the begining of the show - well that right there indicates it was for audio purposes...

Missed opportunity... But you never know, the other tracks might show up sometime.

Hey Eric!!!

I think she should do a live compilation-from over the years-on different tours with different musicians-That's the only thing that she doesn't have in her solo career. I can only wish...................

Another missed opportunity, indeed. The irony of all this is that the concert DVD was promoted in newspaper articles and more specifically the promo posters! At least, we have the fan video.

I think that would be cool as well...but we all know that every show is recorded...I don't know why she just doesn't put them out. It isn't like she ever messes her words up. She is so routine how could she?

hi all...well i have the bootleg of that show done very professionally and i must say i'm kind of glad stevie didn't record it...i'm referring to the closed eyes thru a lot of the show...i believe i brought this up b4 when someone said it looked like stevie was stoned...not...the lighting was too bright and maybe she wasn't on top of her game but def no drugs...i think she def has the material to put out a completely live cd and this might be what she was referring to earlier on this year...take care...pat

She was totally stoned.

It would be great to have a big double disc cd of Stevie live, represented throughout her entire solo career. But what a daunting task, especially given all the different incarnations of bands she's had. A lot her staple concert songs have been given different treatments and arrangements from different musicians in different periods of time. It would be tough to choose the best rendition of each song.

It's too bad her management team is so insular.... and so unimaginative. Lots of bands sometimes like to engage and involve the fans (through website poles and such) to help determine the choices. That is a smart move, because more often than not, the fans are more knowledgable about an artists' career history than the artists themselves!

"..that is how songs are written..stories are told..rumours are started."

Why anyone would want that show on DVD is a mystery to me. It was byfar one of her worst Gold Dust shows. She barely moved.

I would like to know how her lighting could suddenly be too bright, when she brings her own damn lighting to every show! Along with the same lighting crew.

Her spotlights do not change, so that is not why her eyes were so damn heavy.

She was plowed. It could not be more obvious when watching the Melbourne boot. My husband had one of the screen caps from that show, as his desktop wallpaper for awhile. He has no interest in Stevie, and when I asked him why he was using her photo he said "Because she is looks pretty hot. Pretty hot and pretty baked".

Mamma Nicks loves her wack weedus!

I did not think the concert was too bad per se. I just think she totally underutilized the symphony, which was a tragedy. I mean - hello would it have killed her to sing At Last or put the symphony squarely into B&B?

I actually think this was around the time Stevie trialled botox and this may explain her slightly peculiar appearance at certain intervals during the show. Even some newspaper reviews at the time referred to her "enhanced, ageless" visage. She has since spoken negatively about her botox experience so who knows?
