Stevie's backstage demands

Macfan4life · #1 03-02-2015, 07:54 AM

From smoking gun:
"Looks like Stevie Nicks spent too much time with that slobby Mick Fleetwood. Because we do not think the Remy Martin folks intended for their fine cognac to be swilled from plastic cups."

I believe this is from the Whole Lotta Trouble Tour 1991

Fair play to her- her rider is fairly standard and tame really.
Its very interesting looking at some of the other artists though- there's a heck of a lot of diva-dome out there. Tom Petty's backstage rider is 6 pages long- even longer than the Rolling Stones.

Thanks for posting those. I couldn't read the 2nd one, but even just reading the first one gave me a lot of new info. I had no idea that bands had riders like this. Now I really want to see Tom Petty's. He does not strike me as a diva at all, but 18 pages says different.

No Evian please! Only Fiji!!!

It also cracked me up that whoever wrote this had to explain what the carton of unsweetened Silk soy milk looks like...most likely because someone got it wrong in the past!

I love this kind of stuff. I worked as runner for a local performing arts center when I lived in FL and I was the one who had to run all over God's creation picking up this and that. It was not fun but I did get to see the shows for free from the backstage vantage point, which was amazing.

This is actually for the BAND --note it says Fleetwood Mac backstage and DR [dress rehearsal] with an 8:30 am start time…. is this from the rehearsals pre-tour then? I can't imagine they have full dress rehearsals on tour.

Interesting, and kinda not surprising that Stevie has her own requirements. They're awfully tame…

NO this isn't from from the pre-tour rehearsals, it's the CURRENT TOUR RIDER as stated in the heading of my post. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, I just thought it went along with the thread

The food section in the Mac rider is making me hungry .I got to have butter on my potato's and veges.

I agree with no salt added.I love Coke and Zero is pretty good too.

Its time for supper.LOL.......................................................

DR stands for "Dressing Room," not "Dress Rehearsal."

thanks for sharing - love this. so now we know LB can hand out 12 little black hand towels max (unless he switches to bath towels... once saw him handing out large white bath towel on his solo tour).

I met someone at a club in LA and on the way back to his place he said he worked for Stevie at one of those award shows. The Grammy's or American music or something like that. He showed me two selfies of himself with her in the back ground so I guess his story was ligit. His job was to accommodate their back stage living area. Dressing rooms and such. He mostly talked to her personal assistant, but he did meet Stevie. He said she was very laid back and super easy to accommodate.
He was good in the sack, but his place was so damn messy. Plus LA was too far from where I lived and his job ment that he traveled a lot. He wanted to see me again, but was just a one hit wonder.
