Leather and Lace - Rod Stewart and Stevie Nicks - Philadelphia 4/5/11

The big news out of Philadelphia last night was the change to the setlist where "Passion" was dropped and replaced with "Leather and Lace". Here's one video of the duet.

Not bad.... Love the way Stevie harmonizes on this actually... They need a little practice you can tell, but pretty good for a first run.

Rod needs to loosen up a wee bit more, that'll make Stevie feel a little better about singing a song she probably never in a million years thought Rod Stewart would take the place of Tom Petty... glad to see their changing it up. Truth be told, the somewhat quirky awkwardness could've been taken care of if Rod would've only agreed to rehearse more from the beginning. But then again, this is two timeless, Big-Time Rock & Roll Stars in their Sixties!... still doing it their own way... old school... Loving it!!! You don't get that anymore...; 6 April 2011 at 08:42

Rod did say in an interview that he didn't know how to sing harmony. I wondered how then they would pull off L&L. They did though. The need a little practice but nice Job overall. I sound like an American Idol judge. although much better than the current ones. -Mark; 6 April 2011 at 09:28

Some guys have all the luck, some guys have all the fame, some guys have all the girls... Can't get the songs out of my head. Joe Aquino; 7 April 2011 at 09:08

Get Tusked: The Inside Story of Fleetwood Mac's Most Anticipated Album
by Ken Caillat and Hernan Rojas

In this behind-the-scenes look at the making of Fleetwood Mac’s epic, platinum-selling double album, Tusk, producers and engineers Ken Caillat and Hernan Rojas tell their stories of spending a year with the band in their new million-dollar studio trying to follow up Rumours, the biggest rock album of the time.

Following their massive success, the band continued its infamous soap opera when its musical leader and guitarist, Lindsey Buckingham, threatened to quit if he didn’t get things his way, resulting in clashes not only with his band but especially Caillat, who had been essential to the band’s Grammy-winning sound.

Hernan Rojas’s story recounts a young man who leaves Chile after General Pinochet’s coup to seek his future in the music industry of Los Angeles, where he finds success at one of the hottest studios in town. When Fleetwood Mac arrives, Rojas falls in love with its star singer, Stevie Nicks, and the two of them become romantically involved.

Throughout the book, both Caillat and Rojas detail not only the trials and sacrifices they made to finish the album, but also triumphs of musical inspiration and technical innovation that have made Tusk the darling of music critics and indie rockers today.
