- Warner Records is set to release a 22-track live Fleetwood Mac album recorded at the Los Angeles Forum during the Mirage Tour. Fleetwood Mac performed two nights at the Forum in 1982, October 20th and October 21st. Thirteen tracks from those shows were released with the Mirage Delux edition a few years back, although that release doesn't distinguish which show the tracks are from. Also, "Hold Me", and "Second Hand News" from the October 21st show were released in the "Live" Delux release. "Brown Eyes" is also included with "Live" but indicates it's from the October 22nd show. This release is a complete show (not sure if it's from one date or a combination of both nights). The first single "Don't Stop" is available now to stream on Apple | Spotify | Amazon and indicates it's from the first show on October 21, 1982.

- Photos Calum BuchanStevie Nicks, Glasgow review - ‘dazzled with the evergreen wonder of her songwriting gift'Even though she spent more time introducing some songs than actually singing them, Stevie Nicks still managed to hold her audience's attention, writes Jay RichardsonBy Jay RichardsonThe ScotsmanStevie Nicks, Hydro, Glasgow ****The creative and romantic psychodrama behind Fleetwood Mac's success is legendary. Yet the enduring rockers' most enduring survivor, Stevie Nicks, belatedly closing her latest tour in Glasgow after medical issues forced her to postpone the original date, still treated her crowd to a lengthy account of how she and Lindsey Buckingham ended up joining the band, transforming them into the world's biggest pop outfit in the 1970s. Indeed, between several changes of cape to emphasise her persona as “the psychic witch that everyone thinks I am” and all the tales behind the songs (both in the band and from her illustrious solo career), with the introductions at times lasting three or four times longer than the tracks themselves, she truly tested the crowd's love for her, which nevertheless remained strong.Performed with her vocal coach Steve Real, the timelessly gorgeous ballad Leather And Lace acquired additional depth from Nicks' yarn of how she wrote it for Waylon Jennings and his wife Jessi Colter shortly before their split. But a rather by-the-numbers cover of Stephen Stills' For What It's Worth was insufficient reward for an interminable, decades-spanning explanation of why she loved the song.Thankfully, the second half of the setlist featured less exposition. And it's a hard heart that would deny Nicks the chance to pay tribute to some of her greatest departed collaborators, including Tom Petty, with a soaring, gutsy rendition of Free Fallin', and her poignant take on Landslide which closed the night, emphasising her sisterhood with her Mac bandmate Christine McVie. Highlights included the white hot rock of Petty composition Stop Draggin' My Heart Around and the anthemic juggernaut of Edge Of Seventeen, its iconic guitar riff propelling almost everyone in the Hydro out of their seats.Opening her encore with the driving rhythms of Rhiannon, Nicks belied her 76 years for a show that was low on surprises, overburdened with filler but generally dazzled with the evergreen wonder of her and her peers' songwriting gift.GYPSYFREE FALLIN https://bit.ly/3SrhFBQ Check Out Fleetwood Mad - The UK's Premium Tribute Band To Fleetwood Mac https://www.fleetwoodmad.co.uk/

- Stevie Nicks opens up about infection that forced the postponement of two showsStevie Nicks took the stage in Glasgow, Scotland, on Wednesday after previously postponing her show in the city, and she explained to fans what kept her from performing in the first place.In fan-shot footage posted to YouTube, Stevie revealed she got an infection that led to her hospitalization. “When I got here I was just really excited to be in Glasgow,” she told the audience. “And I don't know what happened, I just got this weird infection, and it just went crazy.”Stevie shared that she had gotten to Glasgow a few days early in order to enjoy the city and was staying at a castle when she realized something was wrong.“I finally looked at my assistant, it was like 2 in the morning, and I said, ‘I think we need to go to emergency,' and she looked at me and I just said, ‘I'm not kidding, I think we need to go to the hospital,'” she said.The butler then sped Stevie to the hospital, where she wound up staying for two days. “They let me go back to the castle, and we canceled this show,” she said. “This whole tour I've been fighting what started here, and I would be damned if I wasn't coming back here.” Stevie's Glasgow show was originally supposed to take place on July 6, with the postponement blamed on “a recent leg injury requiring a minor surgical procedure that will need a few days of recovery time.” She also postponed a show in Manchester.Wednesday night's makeup show was the last date of Stevie's European tour. She has two more U.S. shows on the books for 2024: Sept. 24 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Sept. 28 in Hershey, Pennsylvania.Stevie's thanks to 'special' Scottish medical teamShe commended the help and hospitality she was given by the medical team: “I was so looked after there.“You are a really special country and a really special people.”The ‘Edge of Seventeen' singer comment that ‘she was happy as she got to stay in the castle a couple more days' as she adored staying there and the country.Nicks told the crowd how she has been "battling this the whole tour" to which the crowd gave her a rapturous round of applause.Before she said with determination: “But, I would be damned if I wasn't coming back here to play this show and finish this tour.”'A big Scottish goodbye' from the rock legendAt the end of the emotional show, Nicks brought all her crew, band and friends on stage to thank them as the rescheduled date had meant it had turned out to be the last gig in her two-year tour.Nicks said: “This is our last show, we've been on the road for two-years now and this is the final, final show." https://bit.ly/3LGh5wd Check Out Fleetwood Mad - The UK's Premium Tribute Band To Fleetwood Mac https://www.fleetwoodmad.co.uk/

- Stevie Nicks - British Summertime, Hyde Park 2024Review and Photos Dawn OsborneTotalrock.com(more photos and full day review at link above)When Stevie Nicks postponed her Glasgow gig everyone with a ticket to see her at British Summertime held their breath, would their dreams be shattered of seeing the legend at Hyde Park. When she postponed Manchester we tried to ignore an impending sense of doom that it was not to be. She issued a press release saying London was definitely going ahead, but still, would she have recovered enough from her recent leg operation to make it? When no cancellation notice arrived by the morning of the event we began to breath easier. On arrival at the event, there are no white notices at the entrance with a stinging message that unfortunately Ms Nicks could not make it, and we could begin to dare to have confidence she was coming. But not until she actually stepped on the stage did people believe their eyes, pinching themselves that this was actually happening.And the moment has arrived, and the crowd roars, as Stevie Nicks really is here!! She comes on looking fantastic, still beautiful at 76, elegantly dressed in a kind of Victorian mourning outfit emphasizing her still trim figure and sounding better than the Fleetwood Mac records in person. It's like suddenly cleaning a window to hear her live, compared with the dated production of many of her famous records and iconic track 'Dreams' made a very early appearance making everyone's day. She looks happy and well and although still limping a little (although I wonder if I didn't know about her leg operation would I have picked that up). She danced a little for the crowd who gave a huge roar every time she did. Encouraged by others she has brought along the genuine shawls and cloaks from the original Fleetwood Mac records such as 'Bella Donna' and 'Gold Dust Woman' adding to the sense of awe and historical importance when performing these tracks. The sight of her lifting up the black and golden shawl like a butterfly against the dots moving across the stage like the effect of a giant golden glitter ball was the most stunning visual of the day.She was engaging and chatty telling stories between songs, for example, how she looks back on the days when she was young fondly: constantly touring and with no money, she now calls them the 'halcyon days'. Explaining that when she was young she had been too busy getting fittings, having her hair done, writing poems and doing everything necessary for her music career to ever vote. She implores the crowd not to be like her, but make sure they turn out for a general election.Her musings turned to those she cared for who had a connection to Hyde Park where she had last seen Tom Petty before he died. She explained that she could feel his presence as she covered one of his best known tracks 'Free Fallin' to a backdrop of huge photos of him on screen. Later she reminds everyone that the actual date of this show is the dearly departed Christine McVie's birthday. She explains that her mother always said that Stevie went on stage when she was hurt to heal, and how her audiences have helped her get over the loss of people she loves.'Rhiannon' was the first track of the encore and as if that wasn't enough, Harry Styles suddenly arrived to duet on 'Stop Dragging My Heart Around' and 'Landslide'. I didn't tell everyone screaming around me that I was much more excited by Stevie and I couldn't sing a Harry Styles song to save my life, but it added to the special feeling of the occasion to have some more celebrity stardust added. As special as I thought this would be the reality surpassed my expectations by a mile. When you see a legend in concert nothing compares to it as an experience when you are in the moment and actually there. She really came.. and played .. and sang .. and danced. and everything!! (Instant fan girl!) Along with the rest of the crowd I am still pinching myself now and will never forget today! https://bit.ly/4bXKBs1 Check Out Fleetwood Mad - The UK's Premium Tribute Band To Fleetwood Mac https://www.fleetwoodmad.co.uk/

- Photo Kenny BrownStevie Nicks takes a spellbinding journey through her solo and Fleetwood Mac years during an enchanting Manchester showby Connor GottoRetropopmagazineAs Stevie Nicks arrived on stage at Manchester's Co-op Live on Tuesday (July 16) to her 1981 ‘Bella Donna' track Outside The Rain, she cast a spell over the packed crowd as she launched into a two-hour set of solo and Fleetwood Mac classics.A week after her planned appearance was postponed due to an injury, it didn't hurt the turnout for the concert, which saw the 23,000-capacity venue filled with adoring fans of all ages – some who've been there from the start, many of whose parents weren't even born when she joined the legendary group in 1975.Segueing into Dreams – the only Fleetwood Mac song to top the US Billboard Hot 100, written solely by Nicks, for the classic ‘Rumours' (1975) – it provided the first of many singalong moments in a show that, in the artist's words, celebrated her “halcyon days” with a focus on her first two records.Stop Draggin' My Heart Around – her first solo single outside of the band – saw guitarist Waddy Wachtel step up for Tom Petty's parts, after Nicks introduced the track by detailing its origins and crediting her producer and ex-boyfriend Jimmy Iovine for making it happen, during one of several anecdotes throughout the evening.Radiating warmth and laced with humour, there's an innate charm to her storytelling that had the crowd hanging on her every word, whether introducing her quasi-political cover of Buffalo Springfield's For What It's Worth, or recounting her early years with Lindsey Buckingham in San Francisco ahead of the Mac's Gypsy.Having pointed out her tendency to ramble and the venue's “strict curfew”, a sizzling Stand Back brought the crowd to its feet and Nicks – adorning the original '80s black and gold cape – barely let up, with a non-stop run of anthems: a tribute to Petty with his own Free Fallin' led into an enigmatic Gold Dust Woman (another shawl moment) and the Don Henley duet Leather And Lace, with Steve Real.It was the iconic opening bars of Edge Of Seventeen that garnered the biggest reaction of the night so far, with longtime backing singers Sharon Celani and Marilyn Martin (yes, the same Marilyn Martin that sang with Phil Collins on Separate Lives) showcasing the flawless blend that's become integral to Nicks' live shows over the years.Returning for a two-song encore, it was Fleetwood Mac classics Rhiannon and Landslide – both lifted from the group's 1975 self-titled album – that closed the show, the latter featuring a poignant tribute to her bandmate Christine McVie, with a images of the pair through the years flashing across the screens.Thirty-five years since her last European tour, on the back of her 1989 album ‘The Other Side Of The Mirror', Nicks' return to the UK stage is long overdue, but having filled the country's largest arena – days after drawing 60,000 fans to London's Hyde Park – there's plenty of demand for one of music's all-time legends over here.Happily, a return looks to be on the cards with Nicks sharing her love of England – “[I'm] probably going to live in Harrods… in the jewellery department!” – and teasing: “We like it here. We just might stay.”Setlist: Stevie Nicks, Co-op Live, Manchester1. Outside The Rain2. Dreams3. If Anyone Falls4. Stop Draggin' My Heart Around5. Gypsy6. For What It's Worth7. Free Fallin'8.

- Photo: Raymond Van Olphen (bulletray on IG)Stevie Nicks in the Ziggo Dome (live review)Amsterdam July 19, 2024By Esmee de GooyerLust For LifeWhat does the iconic Stevie Nicks bring on tour in 2024? Gold, glitter, glam, her legendary capes and one of the most beautiful voices in the world. But also a lot of sadness because of the loss of her loved ones.The Ziggo Dome was not sold out, despite it being a seated show, but that probably has more to do with the ticket price than with the popularity of Stevie Nicks. She is – still – not only a musical icon but also a style icon for all generations, as evidenced by the outfits of the visitors. Top hats, shawls and capes, black lace, puff sleeves, wide skirts, black boots, wild curls. Clearly inspired by the style of the Fleetwood Mac legend, who also displayed her 'witchy' image in American Horror Story: Coven.Ode to her lost friendsTonight she will play a mix of 'her' Fleetwood Mac songs, solo work and a few well-chosen covers. But above all she will pay tribute to the people she has lost. Starting with Tom Petty, who plays an important role in the setlist from the intro song Runnin' Down A Dream. Although it is a seated show, everyone in the audience immediately stands up at the first notes. But don't worry: for those who suddenly can't see anything of the stage anymore, Stevie Nicks can be followed in no less than four places on the screens.What immediately stands out in the first song: her voice is still good, although she sings a little lower than she used to and with slightly less compelling emotions. When Outside The Rain (Bella Donna) seamlessly flows into Dreams by Fleetwood Mac, a mother and her teenage daughter go crazy for me. Stevie also seems to be enjoying herself: even for her it is apparently special to be in Amsterdam. “Let's get this Amsterdam party started!”Tom PettyWith Stop Draggin' My Heart Around, Stevie and her band bring Tom Petty closer. She enthusiastically tells the story behind the song, although most fans probably already know it. It was the first song he gave to Nicks – and it became her first solo hit. “That man you're always pining over, wishing you were in his band, he has a song for you”, she was told by her producer Jimmy Iovine. At the time, he was working on Bella Donna and the Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers album Hard Promises at the same time. “I went to the studio completely overdressed, and Tom Petty was so casual!” They recorded it in a few days, although she now tells us that she was actually sad that it ended so quickly.The parts that Tom Petty sang back then are now performed by Waddy Wachtel, who was also in the studio in 1981 as a guitarist. But he also sings very well. In the background, not only photos of the young Stevie with Tom Petty on stage and in the studio are projected, but also other icons such as Bob Dylan, Prince and Joni Mitchell pass by. Nicks calls the song the beginning of the Stevie Nicks band. Now that Petty is no longer there, she feels it is important to let him know how much she still appreciates that. Later, she also plays a cover of Free Fallin'. This feels even more like an ode to Stevie's friend and idol, with a matching photo slideshow.“I don't want to be a cleaning lady!”Tonight's other cover is the Buffalo Springfield song For What It's Worth. She's known since she was eighteen that she would one day record a version of it ('in all my arrogance') and in 2022 she did indeed release the song as a single. That one long outburst in the song gets a lot of applause. Then she really goes into chatterbox mode, and catches herself not knowing what story she wants to tell anymore, because she has so many. It becomes the moment that she and Lindsey Buckingham - then still virtually unknown as Buckingham Nicks, she had a part-time job as a cleaner - meet the other Fleetwood Mac members for the first time. They clicked enormously, especially between Stevie and Christine McVie. But afterwards Buckingham said: "I don't wanna be a blues guitarist..." Nicks replied firmly: "But I don't want to be a cleaning lady!"Gold, glitter, glamFor Bella Donna, she brings out the first cape of the evening. The real, original Bella Donna cape, she says. She actually didn't want to take it with her ("Been there, done that"), but she was persuaded: your audience wants to see them! And that's absolutely true. The Stand Back cape, which is almost falling apart from age, also makes an appearance. Stand Back is a highlight of the show: screaming guitars, gold, glitter, glam. That line is continued in Gold Dust Woman, an impressive longer version of the Fleetwood Mac classic (complete with gold cape).She sings the beautiful Leather And Lace with her vocal coach and band member Steve Real, who has a terribly beautiful voice and is actually not inferior to Don Henley. For a moment the song goes through marrow and bone. This sensitive moment is quickly over when the intro of Edge Of Seventeen is milked ...

- Stevie Nicks: The Fleetwood Mac veteran brings magic to Hyde Park – with help from Harry StylesIt was genuinely special to witness Nicks duet with the young star at BST Hyde Park as a tribute to her late bandmate Christine McVie.Neil McCormick, CHIEF MUSIC CRITICTelegraphPhotos Lorne ThomsonIn my career as a music critic, I have heard the ear-shattering screech of teenage girls screaming many times. But I think this may have been the first time I have heard an audience of women of all ages give a kind of joyous approximation of the mass pop scream.The object of their noisy enthusiasm was not, in fact, the star of the occasion, 76-year-old rock queen Stevie Nicks. The Fleetwood Mac veteran was certainly treated with respect, delight, enthusiasm and a touch of awe throughout an absolutely fantastic performance that put smiles on the faces of everyone on stage and in the crowd. But the screams were reserved for a guest who arrived for the last two songs, looking Hollywood handsome with chopped short hair and a baggy suit: boyband hero turned solo superstar Harry Styles.When Styles was first charming the nation with One Direction, I don't think this would have been anyone's vision of his future: swinging a big orange guitar whilst standing in for Tom Petty on a rocking Stop Dragging My Heart Around and harmonising Christine McVie's parts on a tender Landslide. As Britain's premier contemporary pop star, Styles carries a lot of weight, but he showed the deep musical empathy to slip humbly into a supporting role with an all-time great, forging links from pop's shining present to its glorious past. It was a genuinely special thing to witness, and Nicks was clearly moved as she drew him into a hug.“The last time I was here in Hyde Park it was with Tom Petty, and that was the last time I saw Tom,” she had noted earlier of the great American rocker who died aged 66 in 2017. At the end, she spoke movingly about late Mac bandmate McVie. “This is Christine's birthday,” she noted to cheers. (She would have been 81.) “It's hard to sing a song about your best friend who died so suddenly,” she admitted. “My mom used to say when Stevie gets hurt, she runs to the stage, and that's what I've been doing. And the only people who have helped me get through this are all of you.”Fleetwood Mac may be no more, but the ladies – and, indeed, many gentlemen – of London came out for the band's one true star on a cool summer evening in Hyde Park. There was a sense of cos-play about the occasion. Women of all ages bravely sported ballgowns, skimpy diaphanous cloaks and battered top hats in honour of the star's distinctive look. Nicks dug into her own collection of cloaks, scarves and gowns as she twirled and sang, her voice lower and grittier than in her youth, but full of character and flair as she led us through the poetic narratives of her ethereal brand of magical blues rock. Her well-chosen solo songs sounded fantastic, with the great silver-haired guitarist Waddy Wachtel powering through Edge of Seventeen. The Mac material was transcendent. An extended psychedelic blues romp through Gold Dust Woman was better than I'd ever heard it, as free and wild as Nicks' persona.It was a very old-fashioned rock show. There wasn't much in the way of stage production: some floaty screen imagery and coloured lights. It was all about a virtuoso band playing characterful songs with a charismatic star leading the way with free-flowing singing amidst welters of perfect harmonies. The woman's got style. And, indeed, on this occasion, she had Harry Styles too. https://bit.ly/3A08npR Check Out Fleetwood Mad - The UK's Premium Tribute Band To Fleetwood Mac https://www.fleetwoodmad.co.uk/

- Live Review: Stevie Nicks // Hyde Park, London 12.07.24By Rosie BrennanIndiependent.co.uk12 July 2024 saw the legendary Stevie Nicks headline in London's Hyde Park to deliver a dazzling 15-track set to 60,000 adoring fans. The 76-year-old Fleetwood Mac singer took to the stage following an incredible number of support artists, including Baby Queen and Paris Paloma.Many fans were gutted to hear of Nicks cancelling her Glasgow and Manchester dates the previous week due to a leg injury, with some travelling hours to see the iconic rockstar before suddenly hearing the devastating news. Thankfully, after rescheduling these dates and taking time to recover, she came back stronger than ever to perform at Hyde Park. This is the same iconic venue she was last seen performing at with her mentor Tom Petty in 2017, just months following his tragic passing. With so much occurring behind the scenes, it was clear from the get-go that Friday would be an extremely emotional evening. Even initially seeing Nicks appear on stage, with the same mythical charisma she has always possessed, felt like an ethereal experience. She still managed to maintain her iconic 70s witchy style and aura decades later. Her signature low rumbling rasp allowed for some interesting key adaptions on many of her hits, but her voice was still just as astounding as always. A few incredibly healthy-sounding vocals hit the audience all the way to the back of the park. Many solo and, of course, Fleetwood Mac hits were included in this set, starting off with classics like ‘Dreams', ‘Bella Donna' and the bouncy fantastical ‘Gypsy'. An audience favourite was the live rendition of the shimmering Fleetwood track ‘Gold Dust Woman', dressed up by the stunning gold glistening motion graphics pulsating around the screens on stage. One of the most wonderful parts about the gig was the amount of time Nicks spent monologuing stories between songs, almost like an eccentric aunt at the family party you never want to stop hearing anecdotes from. Most of these endearingly long speeches came before subtle yet impactful costume changes, as Nicks transformed between a variety of her iconic vintage shawls. Nicks' beautiful rambles varied from jokes and digs about her long-time complex relationship with fellow Fleetwood star Lindsey Buckingham, to the importance of political awareness in modern times (“Doesn't matter who for…just vote” she said, following the recent UK General Election). She also included heart-wrenching tales remembering her late Fleetwood Mac bandmate Christine McVie, who passed suddenly in 2022. The electric atmosphere of Nicks' classics tugged thousands more heartstrings when she announced that it would have been Christine's 81st birthday. Nicks' vocal coach, Steve Real, appeared as a special guest, joining her on stage for ‘Leather and Lace'. The guest stars did not end here, however. The big reveal (and possibly the loudest scream I have ever let out in my entire life) came as Nicks' friend and fellow star Harry Styles subtly appeared to perform a duet of ‘Stop Draggin' My Heart Around' in a beautiful tribute to Tom Petty. Styles stayed for a performance of ‘Landslide' (a song the pair performed together back at the very start of his solo career in 2017, which ended in a flood of tears for Fleetwood Mac fan, Styles). Perhaps ‘Landslide' is one of the most beautifully written songs of all time, but the added ode to Christine left not one single dry eye in the house. It would not be a Nicks review without mentioning her biggest hit ‘Edge of Seventeen'. The chart-topping classic was stretched out by the impressive live instrumental keys, as well as the amazingly iconic beginning riff lasting around two minutes. Stevie Nicks provided a night to remember. The tributes to her late loved ones were done in such a beautifully tasteful manner, whilst still managing to get the entire audience to twirl and frolic like it's 1979. A bewitching, euphoric, and incredibly emotional evening was provided by one of rock's finest. In the words of the legend herself, “You have made me better”. https://bit.ly/3LxwbUK Check Out Fleetwood Mad - The UK's Premium Tribute Band To Fleetwood Mac https://www.fleetwoodmad.co.uk/
