Beacon Theater tonight

Leaving for NYC shortly....haven't seen Stevie in this size venue in many years. Other than AC, I can't recall the last time I saw her solo indoors in the NY/NJ/PA area. I'm sure someone will come up with the answer.

Stevie Nicks is performing at the Beacon Theatre tonight, and we’re wondering which iteration of her career Ms. Nicks is currently occupying—we lost track around the second or third reunion of Fleetwood Mac! Presumably she’s as dark and witchy as ever, and we look forward to Ms. Nicks gracing us with her mall-Goth look and sophisticated lyrics. The 64-year-old singer is nowhere near retirement, and is in fact promoting her first new album in a decade—one that features a song “adapted from Edgar Allan Poe.” Some folks never will change!

I thought the show was very good. SN sounded great, looked great.

Some morning after thoughts....Rock'N'Roll is not a great opener-needs to be speeded up.

Her "dressing room" was on-stage...don't recall seeing that before.

She played the tambourine during the entirety of "Enchanted".

Aside to the attention whore in the front row of the loge...it is necessary to stand up and block everyone's view whilst you do your imitation of Elaine Benes dancing?

During the Edge walk, I saw more than one person try to pull her forward while shaking hands-the security person had to pull her back and that was unsettling.

I was in the tenth row on Waddy's side and I noted twice that Stevie held out her hand to say "stop" during the edge. I saw one guy rub up and down her arm.. What is up with that?

Terrific sounding show! What I liked about Rock and Roll was the montage of photos of all the rock and roll greats (photos by Neil Preston). It was like a homage to the rockers - Jimi, the Beatles, Stones, Elton, etc. Etc and she ended the song with Janis on the screen! I loved the effect.

I just got home from NYC and have to catch a flight to Missouri.. I'm tired but well worththe trip. Stevie is so energized doing the iyd tunes.. She was on it.

I did buy the blue hoodie, and after I purchased it, noted the "in your dreams" words on the back in big bold letters.. Ugh, oh well...love the front with the heart..

Enjoy Hershey tonight! Stevie is into this tour! Oh.. And I love.. Love. Love.. The Beacon! except security was rabid about video taping. If anyone captured any videos of this show, I applaud you. The guy up front was a wicked beast...

Hey there Keith...its great to hear from you. I am glad you got to see this tour. I am seeing her in Lauderdale but with Rod Stewart so not as excited about it. Have a great time in the Show Me State. Made me a little home sick hearing that. LOL

Regarding Marc Cohn...30 minute set...perfect, including "Walking In Memphis" & Paul Simon's "The Only Living Boy in New York".

It's really unsettling that people tried to pull Stevie forward or crossed some lines (Rubbing up her arm is a little bit much) during the Edge walk.

I wish people would respect her and just be grateful that she does this at all - Stevie's always said she is not afraid because she doesn't think anyone would want to hurt her. I worry that if everyone starts breaking down the courtesy boundary and getting too crazy that she'll not want to do it anymore. It's a privilege in the first place.. treat it like one.

I was in the front row on the extreme right during the Edge walk, and I can attest to the incident as well. Although I didn't actually see it happen because it involved someone in the 2nd or 3rd row, people around me told me after the fact that someone tried to forcefully push his way past others in an effort to get to Stevie. I saw Stevie look a bit perplexed and teeter forward a little while her assistant pulled her back. Then she started to chide the person causing the ruckus, and told him or her to "STOP" quite directly. Of course, by the time she got to me, the incident was still fresh, and so she was quite distracted and I couldn't even say anything to her. I really wanted to just tell her that I admire her courage coming out on tour so soon after a personal tragedy and that I wished her and her family the best. Sigh, oh well...

Although that incident was jarring enough, it seemed Stevie was in good spirits about it at the very end after "Love Is." She did her little bows and walked up to the front of the stage, and then gave a side glance over to my end of the stage to whomever caused the incident. She did this cute little mock-chiding point-and-stare, and then shadowboxed with her hands for a second or two. It was adorable lol.

I'm glad you guys had fun at the show.That scary when idiots grab and hurt Stevie like that.Probably alot of would love to take that clown outside and punch him in the nose.If that sheet continues Stevie will say screw the walk next time.Her safety comes first.He should of thrown out and arested.arrested by the NYPD.

Anyway speaking about security.Did they bust balls about cameras.They were laxed at the last two shows.They did not give a crap about picture/video taking.

Also is the setlist is the same with no tunes that she dropped out.

UnwindedDreams · #13 07-03-2012, 11:26 AM

EXACTLY. I'd probably punch anyone that tried that **** with her in front of me. And the arm-rubbing? Totally pervy!

Cute that she mock-punched at the very end. At least she took it in stride.
