Kathy Kramer & Pat Kosmoski How do I begin..... It was the most incredible show I have ever seen. I
have been connected to Stevie Nicks since I was on the "Edge of Seventeen".
She inspired me to be a free spirit and to let my light shine to other
people. When I found that she was coming to Hershey, I had to have tickets.
I purchased tickets for my best friend and I, knowing that it would be a
healing for both of us. I had always enjoyed Don Henley's music, however,
only being connected to him through the song with Stevie , "Leather and
Lace." May I say that the whole concert was absolutely beautiful and well
put together. I was the perfect combination on stage and their energy was
upliftling and timeless.
The friend that I took with me and myself have recently lost our fathers and
it was a hard transition because there was a love, hate relationship there.
There was a part of me that felt guilty for not spending more time with him,
however, the part of me that was abused was still bitter. Stevie Nicks is
so univerally connected that she chose to do a song by Bonnie Raitt and
David Crosby, called CIRCLE DANCE that put both me and my friend in tears.
With so much material, she could have played, she chose that song which
helped to heal us both. We both sat in our seats sobbing at a concert. I
know that everything is part of a much greater plan and my father is
watching over me as an angel and all the past is behind us now. THANK YOU
STEVIE. .. and DON..
I was also very touched by the way that Stevie took the time to honor her
fans; her words of wisdom at the end of the concert.... "Be good to one
another, love one another, it's especially important right now. If that's
not someone who is not universally in tune with what is going on in our
world, then I don't know who is..
Thank you Stevie and Don from the bottom of my heart for your beautiful
energy and the healing you give the world.
GOD BLESS YOU BOTH and KEEP ON DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING!!!
LOVE and HONOR from two fans....
Dana DeFabbo I just wanted to say thank you to Stevie Nicks because I finally after years
and years got to shake both of your hands! I got up to the front row and
there she was right in front of me singing the "Edge of Seventeen" and she
came to me and shook my hands I couldn't believe it. It has been two weeks
and I still keep thinking about it so much that we are going to see her in
Cleveland this weekend, we got 3rd row center stage, I can't wait. I love
you Stevie, you always put on the greatest show and I will never miss a
chance to see you. Thank you for the memories and stories that you create
in your music.
Shannon Lippy Just needed to write to talk about the Hershey show. I was initially afriad I was gonna miss the concert due to finacial reasons, but luck came thru along with a great seat only 9 rows back from stage. It was worth everything I went thru to get the ticket. First. I hope the rumors become true and they both tour together again next year. It was awesome to see both legends perform as solo acts and with each other. The pair complimented each other beautifully. As one reviewer stated, the mystic and the cynic, the salt and the gravel. Each did an awesome job of delivering a great performance with awesome vocals. I say this now, Henley and Nicks should re-record Gold Dust Woman together like that and release it. It was perfect, along with Circle Dance. The crowd went wild everytime one or the other came out during the other's set. The night belonged to Stevie, but Henley definatley had his supporters in the crowd. And can I say how thin she looked. Whoa! it was a shock! It was like being able to see her back in the 70's and 80's when I was too young to see her.
Final note. What I would not pay to have a video copy of Beauty and the Beast. It was outstanding. Stevie in the pseudo-victorian outfit and the vintage film in the background, only added to Stevie's PERFECT vocals and actions in performing the number. Between last year's FM performance of Beautiful Child and this year's Beauty and the Beast, only one song now would I still like to see her perform live: Battle of the Dragon. Stevie, if you read these at all, make Beauty and the Beast a permanent fixture on your tours. You'll wow them everytime.
Thanks for this forum Nicksfix!
Jackie I attended the Stevie and Don concert on June 13 at Giant Center in Hershey, Pa. I was very pleased to find when we arrived that 'I Love All Access' had given us second row, center seats! By far, the best seats I had ever had at any Stevie or FM concert. I was so excited! It was very obvious from the beginning that everyone was there to see STEVIE. Throughout Don's set I heard a few people yelling for her and man when she took the stage for the first time to sing Hotel California everyone went nuts!!! Don sounded good and hit all the high notes on Witchy Women and Desperado but I did hear his voice get scratchy a few times and I could tell by the look on his face he realized it too. It wasn't anything major or anything really noticeable - he did sound really good. I mean I think this man has THE sexiest voice. He did not speak to the audience AT ALL except to say 'Thank You' when he left the stage. No 'hi' no 'welcome' nothing. I was disappointed in that, and I know others were too after talking to them. I saw him twice on his 'Inside Job' tour and he worked the audience a lot more than he did in Hershey. Now, back to Stevie. When she took the stage to sing 'Hotel.." with Don she had on pants! Yes, Stevie was wearing pants! They looked like a cross between spandex and chiffon. They were black, of course, and she had on the chiffon shirt that was layered. I didn't get a good look at what shoes she was wearing with the pants, but I think they were her high top reeboks. LOL She is soooo tiny. I think she had lost some weight,she looks very very good. Her hair was curled a little for Don's set and it's very blonde and long. She sung on the chorus of Hotel and sung a few verses. Her voice is so strong and powerful. She sounded amazing. She did the same for New York Minute. I think she sung more verses than Don did for the first two songs. When it was Don's turn she was was standing back from the mic and singing along. The Last Worthless Evening was great to hear the two of them sing on together. She really can wrap her voice around anyone and they sounded so good together. At the end of the song when the music was still playing they slow danced together and it was so cute! She had her head right on his shoulder and they danced for I bet a good 30-60 seconds and then he extended his arm and held onto her and she did about 3 or 4 twirls. The audience went nuts! After Don's set there was a 15 minute wait and then Stevie came out. She had three big screens behind her and then for the audience in nose bleeds they had two big screens on both sides of the stage filming them. Of course when Stevie came out to sing 'Outside the Rain' everyone went ballistic! She had on her signature black chiffon dress and reebok shoes (they have diamonds on them!) and her cresent moon necklace. She had her hair straight and it's so long and pretty. Very blond! After she warmed up a bit she started dancing and playing the air guitar and the air drums. She really looked like she was having the time of her life up there. What I thought was neat was when Rhiannon started on the three screens behind her she had paintings (I'm assuming that she drew and painted them) of Rhiannon and close ups of Rhiannon's face (w/ her hair flowing around her) and the horses and the birds. It really fit well into the song! That is one of my favorites of hers to hear live. It NEVER gets old. Those of you that know the story of Rhiannon - I think Stevie fits very well into the story. Meaning she IS Rhiannon and comes and sings away the pain. Gold Dust Women was really cool! Don came out and sang most of the verses and Stevie joined him on the chours. Like I said before they just wrap their voices around each other and they sound so good. Very good chemistry on stage as well. I caught Don kissing Stevie a few times and they were holding hands as well. I had never heard the song 'Circle Dance' and they did such a great job on it. When Stevie introduced it she said she thought Bonnie wrote it about her father. Stand Back was really cool!!! She did a big kick at the end! She really got her leg up high! She came over and did the kick directly in front of us! Another one of my favs was Beauty and the Beast. She went back and changed into a different dress. I don't know what you call it, she had straps over her shoulder and it was like an old time dress with the flaps around her shoulders. It was all black and she had all her hair swept up in a bun. On the screens behind her were scenes from Jean Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast. I had never heard it live before and it was just beautiful. Her voice is so strong now. Flawless. I think she sounds better than she ever has. As soon as this was over Waddy started in on Edge of Seventeen and people started going up to the stage. I had befriended a women, Laura, sitting next to us who was with her husband. We had talked before the show and neither of us had ever touched Stevie's hand before, so we made a pact that we would go up together. I looked over at her and said "Are You Ready?", she was a little nervous like I was, so I just took her hand and lead her through the rows and we got behind some people almost at center stage. Everyone we were standing with were soo nice. The lady in front of me made sure I could see and the lady beside me was jumping up and down and gave me a side hug and then during the middle of the song asked me again if I could see ok. I just love Stevie's fans!! They are the BEST! Stevie then came out in her white dress and just tore up the song. She even did her loud scream at the end and the audience just loved every minute of it. She started on the left side of us, and we could see her taking flowers and shaking peoples hands on the video screen. There was a little girl being held up and she kissed her head and for a moment I thought she was going to pick her up, but she didn't. She started to get closer and I turned and looked at Laura and I said 'Here she comes! Get your hand up!" So we both had our hands up and she touched my hand and missed Laura's. Laura was just crying and Stevie saw that and moved her hand and grabbed Laura's and held it for a second. She continued on down the line and finished the song. We then went back to our seats and Laura was really crying and had her head on her husband's shoulder. I'm so glad she got to touch Stevie. I do not know that much about her but I could tell immediatly that the 'connection' had been made. Those of you that are Stevie fans know what I'm talking about. Stevie and Don then came out and did Leather and Lace, which was such a treat to hear. I am now one of the very few that has ever heard those two sing that live. Stevie just moved her mic so that she was facing Don through the whole thing. It was incredible. The last song was a cover of an old Byrds song and it really reminded me of Stevie singing back in the 60's with her band Fritz. Think of the Rumours song 'I Don't Wanna Know'. They sounded so good together. In all a great evening that I will remember forever. I am so glad I spent the extra money on better tickets. Thank you to Laura, I hope we become great friends and partners at future Stevie concerts. I look forward to getting to know you better! Thank you to Stevie for putting on such an unforgettable performance. She really is the magical lady that she writes about in her songs. Thank you for taking me away...

I just attended the Stevie Nicks and Don Henley concert in Hershey Park, PA. The show was absolutely awesome! My husband and I drove 4 hours, from Central New York, to see Stevie. I’ve seen her once, briefly, in 1986, but she only sang 3 songs because it started storming out. I’ve tried 2 other times to see her, but they were both cancelled. Finally, my dream came true to see her. Let me say, her voice is phenomenal!! It is so strong and clear, I was really impressed. Her and Don sang solo and together and they really sounded beautiful. I had 13th row seats on the floor and everyone around me was dancing to Stand Back…or mesmerized by Beauty and the Beast. The average age group was between 40-60! She has so many great songs, that she hardly touched her catalog of songs, but she sang her most popular, and then some. Rock on Stevie!! Now I really know why you are my favorite artist of all time. Thank You!
Shay Mace Hi! I was fortunate enough to be in the front row of the Stevie Nicks/Don Henley concert at Hershey. I have seen Stevie perform solo before, as well as with Fleetwood Mac. This concert, however, was absolutely amazing! Stevie and Don compliment each other so well. Stevie came onstage to sing Hotel California and it was the best rendition of the song I have ever heard. Stevie was so energetic throughout the concert-dancing for the audience and giggling throughout the songs. I think just one of the reasons her fans love her so much is because she seems to genuinely enjoy performing live for everyone. The audience certainly appreciates her. Beauty and the Beast was glorious. Stevie looked like a fairy tale princess as she sang. I, among others, was completely enchanted. I was so lucky to have been at this concert, but consider myself extremely fortunate to be able to touch her hand during Edge of Seventeen. It was the single most amazing moment of my life thus far, being able to make eye contact with her, having her smile and me and shake my hand. Her energy radiated through the crowd. It is no wonder that she has such a large fan base. She is enchanting...she is timeless...as is her music...I am forever grateful that Stevie Nicks shares her visions with the world. We are so fortunate.
Twyla Hollon My husband and I drove 7.5 hours from Ashland, Ky to see Don Henley and Stevie Nicks together on June 13th at Giant Stadium, Hershey, PA. How awesome, that town will never be the same, they rocked.
Don and Stevie dancing together, their awesome voices together, WOW. Her voice was flawless and Henley's always is. I'm going bankrupt following Don Henley, the one and only. I'm still in awe of their two voices together. I will treasure forever the heart stopping preformance of Beauty and the Beast and Don Henley sure "Put a spell on me." We were so lucky to be in the 13th row from the stage. I can't imagine missing that concert, best concert I've ever seen and I have seen The Eagles 13 times and Don Henley 4 times.
When you put two voices together like Henley and Nicks, not enough words to describe.
Now back to the real world, that is getting busy and finding tickets to see them in another town. It is worth every penny and hour spent driving. Stevie wore such beautiful outfits, she looked magical. Her voice is truly the best. We expected a 10 out of 10 concert, we got 10+++++++++.
Thanks to both for sharing with us your unmatchable talent and voices. WOW, WOW, WOW
Mary Jean Serrano What can I say that has not already been said? Two of my all time
favorites together. Two ICONS I might add. Don, flawless as ever (except
for the fact he did not speak much or introduce his band, that was a little
strange, but that's ok, I forgive him). He seemed to be leading up to
Stevie's appearance: "Put A Spell On You", "Witchy Woman", and then, those
familiar notes to "Hotel California" and out comes Our Queen. My emotions
were running high at this point and it was a treat to hear her sing on a
song that I feel I've been listening to forever. "NY Minute" sounded better
than ever w/the addition of Stevie and as a former NYer, much appreciated.
Don seemed a little laid back until "Dirty Laundry" and "Life in the Fast
Lane", then he started rocking like the Don I know. After a short break,
Stevie is back to wow us once again and I have to say, that VOICE still gets
me, every time. Loved the images on screen during "Rhiannon", especially
the cat. (I kept thinking an image of my little white kitty named Rhiannon
would have been perfect, lol!) It was a glorious night with Stevie whirling
and twirling and singing her heart out with so much energy. "Beauty",
always my favorite brought the tears to my eyes and as much as I would have
liked to watch the movie, I was too mesmerized by our girl. The "Edge" walk
demonstrates once again, Stevie is a ROCK STAR like no other! The only
thing I have to say is that I missed Lindsey and Mick. "Stand Back", not
the same w/out Mick and I would have loved to see Lindsey play on the intro
to "Edge". But I will take Stevie no matter who she plays with since she is
just my all time favorite and she never disappoints me. She gets better
w/age and all you Stevie fans must see her on this tour if you don't already
have tickets. I was lucky to see her w/Don but even without him, she will
be amazing!
Melanie I just saw Stevie Nicks and Don Henely concert last night (6/13/05) in Hershey, Pa. It was an awesome night. It started off great. My seats where originally on the upper level in like the back row, but when we went up to go to our seats, the usher came to us and told us the everyone was being upgraded. So I ended up on the lower level, ten rows back and right in the center. That was so cool, it was an awesome beginning to a great night. Don went first he was great, I loved when he and Stevie sang Hotel California. My favs that he did was: Dirty Laundry, All she wants to do is Dance, and witchy women, everyone was out of their seats dancing to those songs. Now lets get to Stevie set. It was fantastic, she sang Outside The Rain first (that was my first time hearing that live), one of my favs, she sounded great and then she went right into Dreams after that. I loved when she sang Beauty and The Beast, it was so beautiful, she sounded amazing. Enchanted, Stand Back, Stop Dragging my Heart Around, Gold Dust Women and Rhiannon were awesome as they usually are. The Circle Dance was a beautiful song, it was the firts time I ever heard it, and it was great. They ended with Leather and Lace, which was very good. The last song they did was So You Want To Be a Rock and Roll Star that was a good song too. Everythin was awesome, the both sounded great. I can't wait til I can go to another Stevie Nicks concert. It was just a great night.
Nancy Z. I went to see the Henley/Nicks show last evening at The Giant Center in
Hershey. The show was truly phenomenal. I went mainly to see Stevie, but
I was thoroughly impressed with Henley's songs and his passion for music.
Stevie was better than I have ever seen her (and I have seen her a lot).
She looked fabulous and was very playful with the audience. It was the
most personable I have seen her as well. At the end of the concert, she
greeted all of the fans as she does at the stage. The most endearing
thing that happened was a small girl had brought Stevie a blue teddy bear
and gave it to her at this time. You could tell Stevie loved it and she
gave the little girl a big hug and kiss. The audience was in awe! I also
got to shake Stevie's hand, which was awesome. As a fan, this is
something that makes seeing her worthwhile, because you know she wants to
make that connection with the fans. The finale of the show was the
greatest I have ever see as well. Henley and Nicks performed a duo
singing "So you Wanna Be A Rock and Roll Star." This was suburb! It left
the audience and me reeling. Can't wait to see them again.
Dawn Watson I attended the Stevie Nicks/ Don Henley concert at the Giant Center in Hershey,
PA on 6/13, and all I can really say is "WOW."
This was my first Stevie Nicks concert, and I have to say that I had a great
time checking out everyone's band/tour t-shirts. I met a guy who had a
Buckingham-Nicks t-shirt- I didn't even know that they existed. He said he
found it on eBay and it came from Australia...
Henley's set was great, very energetic, and his voice was amazing. However, I
was blinded by the lighting for half of the show, so I didn't actually get to
*see* Don Henley very well!
When I first heard that Stevie Nicks was going to join him on "Hotel California"
and "New York Minute," I was a little skeptical. However, Stevie Nicks sang her
parts of the song as if her voice belonged there from the start! Her part in
the duets made me even more excited for the rest of the show.
It was an amazing experience to hear "Rhiannon" live. But the real show-stopper
was "Beauty and the Beast," a performance that I don't believe any written
description could give justice to. It was simply amazing- her voice took the
song even further than the original recording could (and we all know how good
that one was). I sat spellbound the entire time. The roar of the crowd when she
was finished was overwhelming.
It was also a thrill to watch "Stand Back" and of course, "Edge of Seventeen" as
well. The entire crowd must have been singing along! "Stop Draggin' my Heart
Around" was also very good with Don Henley's contribution. It's one of my
favorites and I was glad that the combination of voices worked well with the
song as I know it. However, I didn't really like the two of them together on
"Gold Dust Woman"- I just can't get used to a male voice in that song.
It was a wonderful night, and even though I paid a LOT of money for my tickets
and my concert t-shirt, it was more than worth every penny.
Breana Leflar I happened to get a second chance to see one of these shows when I missed the one in Philly because a family affair. I won these tickets on Ebay and am SOOOOOO glad I got to go. I didn't mind the almost 2 hour drive cause this show was AWESOME!!!!!! If there is ever a show not to miss it is this one. Don started out great, he sounds just like he does on an album. It was slow moving at first but when Stevie came out for Hotel California the crowd went nuts! And she was FABULOUS on this song. As well as New York Minute (during the "time time ticking" she did this cute little tick tock movement with her hands and then Don started to do it) and the Last Worthless Evening was very pretty. Don never really spoke to the crowd until Stevie left and he said "Don't worry..she'll be back". The rest of his show was great. By then everyone picked up and was having fun. There was a short break before Stevie came on. She looked great and looked as if she was having great fun. I haven't seen her with this much energy and fun style since Bella Donna and Wild Heart days. After the Outside/Dreams she said hi and stuff to the crowd and said "a chocolate lovers dream" (as we were in Hersey, PA home of Hersey's chocolate). For Rhiannon she had her long flowing sleeves on! Beautiful!!! Don Henley came out for Gold Dust Woman and that was good. They slow danced at the ending of this song for quite sometime. It was sooooo darn cute!! Then she said "well that was fun!" Then they did the Circle Dance and it brought tears to my eyes. They way they looked at each other was so adorable. When she introduced her band to said "the love of my life...Waddy Watchel", which everyone was whispering about after she said that. For Stand Back she did her high kick! When Stevie did Beauty and The Beast the crowd just LOVED it! Her voice was so strong and right on, it was just beautiful. And with the movie clips playing on the screens behind her was great. She had her hair up and some kind of black sparkling thing on it. All in all it was a totally awesome show. Her and Don kept holding hands and playing around, having lots fun. At one point in the break of a song he even bent down and kissed her. At the end of Leather and Lace she was holding out her hand while singing "take from me, my lace" and she handed him part of her shawl. They had great t-shirts but sadly none with Don and Stevie together and no tourbook. So many tees to choose from though! Wish I could have gotten them all! She had new ad-libs at the ends of songs which were a mixture of some from '94 til now. "I know what it sounds like to hear come away now" or something like that. Just some different stuff that was cool. Stevie looked and sounded awesome and I couldn't have been more happy I went. That is a show not to miss. To describe a 57 year old woman as "cute" sounds funny but that is exactly what she is. She is so youthful and gorgeous, you can't find another word than cute to sum it up. To watch her have fun and smile is awesome. And I felt that between her and Don I was watching a new love affair. Very sweet. Thank you Stevie and Don. I'm so glad you guys collaborated together on each others songs. It really made a one of a kind concert.
And a foot note to the lady I bought the tickets from: Cassidy, it was very nice meeting and thank you so much!!!!!!
Kathy I went and saw the show in Hershey last night and all I can say is WOW! I was and still am, totally blown away. Don Henley was really good but didn't play to the crowd as much as I thought he might. All hell broke loose when Stevie took the stage during Hotel California. It was so cool to hear her sing on Don's songs. I think the crowd took a little bit longer to get warmed up. People kept sitting down during Don Henley's set however when Stevie took the stage everyone was up and out of their seats. Stevie looked truly amazing and all the times I have seen her perform I never saw her looking like she was having as much fun as she had last night. She just totally rocked out! I've been to many concerts but have never heard it as quiet as when Stevie sang Beauty and the Beast. You could literally hear a pin drop. I was beyond blown away. Stevie was the definition of elegance and grace. Her voice was as powerful as I have ever heard it. That was definitely the highlight of the show for me. I was so moved these words I've written do not do the experience justice. All I can say is if you get the chance to see her, do it! Don was great but Stevie stole the show and really rocked the house. I can't wait to see her solo in Charlotte! The reigning Queen of Rock is a title that I am honored to say still belongs to the fabulous Stevie Nicks!
D. Matthews What a treat to see both Don Henley and Stevie Nicks twice during a 10 show tour date. Hershey PA, home of Hershey Chocolate...great place to see a concert and satisfy that chocolate craving! I saw them in Philadelphia, and just had to see them together again! Once again, they did not disappoint. It was a great concert.
Truly, Stevie really is back to her rock & roll ballerina self. I could once again feel the energy like I did years ago. Her heart just seems to be in it more. She is back! She seemed to really be enjoying what she was doing. Her voice was outstanding. My favorite song, once again, was Beauty & the Beast - it was an unbelievable performance. I also loved her rocking to "Stand Back" and "Rhiannon". We got some great twirls, kicks, etc.
It was also a treat to get to see her sing with Don Henley - especially to see her sing his songs. I especially loved her singing "Hotel California" with him. After all of the concerts I have seen of Stevie Nicks, or Fleetwood Mac, it was a nice change to see her singing these additional songs.
Don Henley is just a class act altogether. He dressed more casual during his set, and then when he joined Stevie during her set, he dressed up for the occasion. They were sweet together.
I was thrilled that in Hershey we were able to go to the stage during "Edge of Seventeen". It seemed that Security at this arena had a clue. In Philadelphia, Security didn't allow anyone to go to the stage. Anyhow, I got to "shake" her hand (which is always a thrill-lol).
My thanks to Stevie Nicks and Don Henley for a great performance, and for touring on the East Coast during their 10 shows! Please consider releasing this concert on DVD sometime soon! It is a keeper.
Melissa Shetrom Well once again, what can I say? This was my 14th time seeing Stevie (w/FM, Solo, and w/Don) and it just never gets old! (Hence the reason why I have tickets to BOTH Atlantic City shows!) The concert was great! Don came out in rougher looking clothing this time, as compared to what he had on in Philadelphia for the opener. The fans in Hershey didn't seem to be into Don's part nearly as much as they were in Philly...course that changed quickly once Stevie came out for Hotel California. People were commenting on how GREAT she looked...which she ALWAYS looks absolutely beautiful and this tour is no exception! The highlight of the show for me was when she would kick! She did a smaller kick during Enchanted but the big kick (high kick) was at the very end of Stand Back...and this time I had a heads up on that and got a great shot of her doing the kick! That was outstanding! The only thing that was distracting at the show were the "fans" sitting around me. The lady (if you want to be that generous) in front of me was like 45 years old and wearing some kind of leather outfit which was anything but flattering and she wouldn't leave us alone. So this lady was drunk or something and being totally obnoxious...but there were others too...behind me I kept getting disturbed as well. Maybe it's b/c I was telling stories about all the times I saw Stevie in concert (including meeting her in Vegas...she signed my Turner guitar...got a pic if you want to see) or maybe there was a neon sign flashing "talk to me" over my head...but people were just annoying. Oh well...they had their fun and so did I! Other highlights included Beauty and the Beast...always a crowd favorite with Stevie looking gorgeous! I got to talk briefly to Taku before the concert which was cool too b/c I saw him in Philly but didn't get a chance to say hello. For those of you who don't know who he is...he's the percussionist (well one of them) who plays the bongo drums. Overall it was a great show...of course...and I'm eagerly awaiting the show in Atlantic City when Stevie is solo again...can't wait to hear more of her songs!! As you heard during Beauty and the Beast...."We love you Stevie!!"
Tim Yates I had the time of my life at the June 13, 2005, show at Hershey Park in Pennsylvania. We didn't know our exact seats until we picked up our tickets at Will Call at 6:00 the day of the show. We only knew that we were guaranteed to be in the first twenty rows of the floor. To out delight we were in the center of the second row!!! The set was the same as the list posted on the main page of The Nicks Fix. I saw the Eagles April 5 in Baltimore, and I thought that Don sounded better here. When Stevie came out and hepled sing Hotel California, we knew we were in for a GREAT set from her. I have seen Stevie solo and with the Mac 10 times and BY FAR this was the best she has ever sounded. I expected that she would just sing along on the choruses, but each time she and Don did a song together they traded verses and sang the chorus together. The chemestry between the two was awesome and they sounded terrific together.
Stevie's set was nothing short of phenomenal! I will never tire of hearing her sing Dreams, Outside the Rain, Rhiannon, etc. Stevie's singing was very stong and clear. She didn't miss a note and was really holding her notes. This was especially true on Gold Dust Woman and Beauty and the Beast. Completely unbelievable performance on that one. Me and my friend Joyce both got to touch Stevie's hand at the end of Edge of Seventeen! What a thrill. Stevie looks more beautiful up close than I would have imagined. Her encore rocked. Leather and Lace with Don was perfect and So You Want To Be a Rock and Roll Star was an excellect end to an unbelievable evening. Me and Lee and Joyce had the time of our lives. Hands down the best concert I have ever been to. It appeared that they were taping this show, and it sure would be cool if they put something out on DVD from the Stevie and Don tour.
