Hey there... A lifetime dream and a held onto promise that I thought would never come about.. To hear and see Stevie Nicks live in concert! 20 years or so ago my husband promised me that if you ever came down under..I could go to a concert of yours. and well YIPPIE that day came...and I got my dream!! and hubs got to keep his promise! Stevie your voice and your music has captivated many of us fans for many years. From your time with Fleetwood Mac to now we all have loved the music you have given us . Your concert here in NZ was awsome.You had such a fabulous selection of songs ... that all there would have held close in one way or another(I know I sure did!) .... Stevie , you have left us with an awsome impression for a life time. Your fabulous on record tape cd....! But Stevie your'e even better live!!!!! You are tops in my books. Come back to New Zealand... Come back and play for us again! We welcome you with open arms! Be safe in your travels.

Fantastic! Most unfortunately I have never had the privilage of seeing Fleetwood Mac or Stevie (except very very briefly with Tom Petty and Bob Dylan many years ago) but I had been blessed with a small San Francisco Lindsey show over a decade ago. So the day the tickets came on sale I bought a pair for my wife and I. Not the front row golden ones but a few rows back silver ones which were more than we could afford.. who needs to eat anyway right lol. Knowing we were going to be up front and thinking it would be with die hard fans (like myself already... and my wife became after the show) I was keen as and couldnt wait. Stevie was perfect and the privilage of seeing her was only eclipsed by hearing her and seeing her at the same time as being in her presence. I must apologise to Stevie and the rest of the band though for the restrained and flat audience who were around us. Mostly older people who could afford the tickets where we were and I know they too went to have a good time as who in their right mind cant love Stevie Nicks. But we wanted to stand up and dance, rock out, let it all out and basically give ourselves to the moment. This was not to be for us and the other odd younger fan sprinkled about the seated area for we were being forever told by older generation fans to sit down as they had paid for their seats. Ive been to a heap of concerts in the States and enjoy them much more than concerts in New Zealand predominantely because they dont hold back and just get into it. I love that and Im sure the performing band members do as well. So it is with an almost apologetic tone I write this as Im sure Stevie and crew must be wondering whats wrong with the crowd. I can speak for myself and my wife in saying that the performance was not only one of the best I have seen but Stevie really is an enigma spanning several generations. Her voice is unparralleled.... her stage presence is that of a shining light.... her style should have been copy righted..... her lyrics are intense.... she was stunning and now she is beautiful.... and the company she keeps is most impressive .... Stevie you are angelic. Thank you for coming. Please come again (and feel free to stop around for a chat lol).

I feel so lucky to have been able to attend two of Stevie's shows on her short tour of NZ and Oz. After the magic of Melbourne, I was expecting great things from her Auckland show and wasn't disappointed. She had the audience enchanted for the entire evening. I was about six rows from the front and could see that Stevie was having a fantastic time. Highlights for me once again were Beautiful Child, Gold Dust Woman and Stand Back while a special mention for her Led Zep cover, Rock and Roll, which proves that this mama can still rock!!. Come back Down Under soon Stevie - you'll always be welcome!

I went to the Auckland concert at North Harbour Stadiumon the 4th March to see Stevie, and WOW what an amazing night. I have wanted to to see her for years and have been a fan of Fleetwood Mac since I was 9 years old. Love their music and love Stevies on her own. After all these years her performance still ROCKS, looks fantastic and she sings with such passion from the soul. Everybody around me was dancing and enjoying it so much. I hope she comes out to New Zealand again, either on her own or with Fleetwood Mac, I would definatly go again! I made stevie a glass bead bracelet and at the end of the show one of the girls who was packing up on stage, she took it and said she would give it to her. Did she end up getting it? I will never know (hope so)... Thanks so much to Stevie and the band for making this concert such a memorable one. All the best

What can you say about the most talented singer/songwriter in the world – but thank you, thank you, thank you. This is the 5th time I have had the privilege of seeing Stevie ‘Live’ – twice in Australia with Fleetwood Mac and twice in Australia by herself, and now in NZ – Wow – what a brilliant performer she is. Her beauty, professionalism, awesome voice and graceful stage presence just get better with every passing year – she is an example to us all. Thank you Stevie, I know how exhausting these tours must be, and yet you drift elegantly from stage to stage, making it all look so effortless. My respect for you grows all the time, and your music fills my life. Stay healthy and happy. Much love...

Luckily John Farnham for an hour and freezing was well worth putting up with to see Stevie finally return to NZ! The audience was well hyped up by the time she appeared in full glory to perform - all the layers and gloves and I think she warmed up pretty fast! She looked amazing and sounded even better, and a lot more animated on stage than with Fleetwood Mac a couple of years ago. It was a great set list with a real nice mix of rock and ballads, although the audience tended to ruin the ballads a bit with all the noise. She truly put on a show and the fans at the next two concerts are in for a real treat. A shame the stage was 9 feet high as only really tall people got to shake hands at the end of 'Edge of Seventeen' and for us who forked out $260 a ticket, could only see her from the knees up and lost the band and half the video screen at the back. The merchandise was a bit pathetic, especially for those of us who would have raced off to buy Vanessa Carlton CD's, and paying $25 for a programme which was all photos of the band is disappointing. But nothing can take away from being in the prescence of a legend and she gave it everything to give us a fantastic night.

My wife and I attended the show at Auckland, New Zealand and thought it was absolutely marvellous. We can't wait for the next tour.

WOW!! Stevie was amazing. It takes a wonderful human being to be able to go through so much and still be able to sing and perform the songs like she does. Vannessa Carlton started the concert and we loved to hear her fantastic piano playing combined with a lovely voice. Next was John Farnham - he rocked. We loved the Queen song he played last it really was a great start to the amazing show Stevie had planned for us. Stevie came out to the Bootylicious version of her White Winged Dove - and sung my favourite song Outside the Rain, then went into Dreams, she was wonderful, magical and her voice is powerful and she just sounded amazing (the same as she does when she sings on her CD's). Her hair looked beautiful and I put my hands up for a short while but Stevie had the energy for her twirls and her beautiful dance. I loved Beautiful Child (I think) I had never heard it and she sung it magnificintly. I had also been listening to Beauty and the Beast so I knew it and wow, she was better than I could have ever imagined. You are the Beauty Stevie and you have conquered the Beast. You are magical oh and I loved your hat at the end with the red feather (wow)!!!!!!

Julie

Wow!! Stevie nicks. She is so beautiful! She rocked!! She blew me away and she sang that words cannot describe how to put it! It was a gorgues night in Auckland in Albany. Very cold though. My Dad and I went and we were in the Concourse and at the last song that Stevie sang which was Beauty and the Beast we went on to the grass and got as far as we could and we were really close and I looked at Stevie and was like WOW!!!!!!! Got heaps of photos!! I love Jana and Sharon and Lori! They sang beautifuly!! This is a night to rembember. I LOVE YOU STEVIE! Thanks heaps.

Sarah
I had the great pleasure of attending Stevie Nicks' performance at North Harbour Stadium, Auckland, New Zealand last night. I took my Dad, who for as long as I can remember has played Stevie Nicks' albums, both with Fleetwood Mac and her solo ones. I have grown up listening to the sound of her beautiful voice but to hear it live was something else all together, I was spell bound. Stevie is an amazing performer and her voice is just magical. I will never forget the experience for as long as I live, my only regret is that Stevie has never made it to New Zealand sooner. I sincerely hope she makes it back.
