Tom Petty with Stevie Nicks 2006 - FAN REVIEWS

I've seen a ton of concerts in my life, but the show last Friday night in Dallas with Tom Petty and Stevie as a special guest rates in my top three of all time. The vibe and energy is something that can only be felt. I don't know if a word exists that would describe how wonderful this show was. The crowd went nuts after every single song. Tom seemed sincerely blown away by the amount of love and appreciation the audience gave him. I can see why they are trying to keep Stevie a secret because the crowd reaction when he introduced her was unbelievable. I could hear people screaming, not believing that Stevie Nicks just walked on the stage. The moment I was waiting for was when they sang, "Insider". Seeing that live almost had me in tears. One thing was very clear, Stevie was not there to share the spotlight or to take any of Tom's glory. She was there to show her respect and love for Tom. Moving her mic to sing background vocals, she sounded great during "Free Falling" and "Don't Come Around Here No More", where she went absolutely crazy during the final part of that song that just spins out of control. I've never seen her so happy and animated before. Tom did a cover of Fleetwood Mac's, "Oh Well", which I think is better than the original and also a cover of Van Morrison's "Mystic Eyes" where he seemed to be calling Stevie back to the stage. It was a very cool moment. During the encore Stevie belted out the chorus of "American Girl", along with the other 20,000 of us there at the show. Her tambourine was decorated like an American flag, which I thought was really cool. If this really was our last chance to see Tom Petty live, I feel so sorry for any fan who couldn't make the show. This show was one for the history books.

Dallas show was the greatest from the beginning to end! When Stevie came out everyone just applauded, and got so excited. Stevie perfomed Stop Draggin’ my Heart around, and I need to Know. I need to Know was great! Later she and Tom perfomed Insider which was wonderful to say the least. Everyone of Tom’s song was performed really well. I loved every single one of them of course. Refuge was great, and my favorite was Free Fallin’. I hear that this may be Tom’s final tour, but you never know. Rock on Tom, and Stevie! You’re the best!

Great show. Stevie looked like she was really enjoying herself (and probably sweating too; over 100 degrees at showtime. We took our daughter Samantha; it was her first concert and she loves Stevie, just like her father. Would have loved to have seen more of her, but it was a Tom Petty show. Just great to see her. Can't wait for her next tour, whether it be solo or with the Mac. Keep on rockin Stevie. We love you.
