Nicks saved up her best efforts for the fresh “Annabel Lee,” the country-fied “For What It’s Worth,” the poppy “Secret Love,” and mostly, for the anthemic “Soldier’s Angel,”

Stevie Nicks is on the road pushing her best new album in two decades and she wasn’t about to let the crowd held captive at Red Rocks Amphitheatre Tuesday night get away without hearing it — a lot of it. The veteran rocker, whose iconic compositions “Landslide” and “Rhiannon” are as familiar as the national anthem, loaded this kick-off show to her latest tour with six tunes from the listenable new disc “In Your Dreams.”
That’s an unusual move, but it made for a fine evening under the stars at Red Rocks and allowed Nicks to step away from the cliches that have defined her career. This night wasn’t about tambourines with flowing ribbons (though she banged a few) and it wasn’t about her trademark whirling dervish bit (though she spun a few times during “Stand Back”). And it wasn’t even about the whole gypsy get up (though she she was done over in lacey things and changed from a sparkly red shawl to a sparkly gold one for the song “Gold Dust Woman”).

Fleetwood Mac legend takes the stage on Tuesday

When someone like Stevie Nicks comes to Denver, the only place worthy of her classic hits to be performed is at an equally legendary venue like Red Rocks Amphitheatre. And so on Tuesday night, the two legends were joined as the former Fleetwood Mac star took to the stage, and played a set that showcased her timeless talent, at a timeless venue.
Starting things off was Michael Grimm, winner of season 5 of “America’s Got Talent.” Grimm played a set of soul-filled songs that seemed to warm up the crowd well. Then it was time for Stevie to take the stage, immediately jumping into playing hits like “Landslide” and “Stand Back,” which were surely the crowd favorites of the evening.

And so on Tuesday night, the two legends were joined as the former Fleetwood Mac star took to the stage, and played a set that showcased her timeless talent, at a timeless venue.
Stevie played a mix of her classic hits all the way from the 70’s to her latest album “In Your Dreams,” which, not surprisingly, appeared on Billboards charts at number six in July, and has had numerous raving revues. The weather was warm and the skies were clear to make way for a perfect night with Stevie and her fans.

But the crowd seemed to enjoy some of Stevie’s new work as well, with songs like “Secret Love,” which is a song the Grammy winner wrote for the Fleetwood record “Rumours” but did not make the final cut for the album.
Fans soaked in the voice many seemed so familiar with, as well as enjoyed a classic night on the rocks.

Stevie Nicks Opening Night "In Your Dreams Tour" >> Beware of Setlist Spoilers
If you are a fan trying to avoid seeing the setlist prior to your show... Then avoid this...
Stevie opened her 'In Your Dreams' tour at Red Rocks in Morrison, CO tonight to what looked like a sellout or near sellout crowd... She said in multiple interviews prior to tonight that because The Wiltern showcase show back in May received such positive reviews (and it did) she was going to bring that setlist on the road for this tour... and she delivered!
She kicked off the night with Stand Back, twirled through the song with her platform boots on and never looked back. A few differences between tonight and The Wiltern were she performed Soldiers Angel without a male on harmony. Lindsey obviously wasn't there so instead, she performed the song with just her backup singers Sharon and Lori. Also, Fall From Grace and Cheaper Than Free weren't included tonight like they were back in May. Dave Stewart as a duet partner on Cheaper Than Free likely makes the song too difficult to perform with out him. Look for that one in Australia. Fall From Grace wasn't included but in it's place Leather and Lace was - and from reports it was with her vocal coach Steve Real!
Via the webcam watching the show as it progressed, the stage setup looked similar to her past recent tours... There wasn't a video backdrop tonight, but usually at Red Rocks there isn't - the beautiful surroundings are the backdrop... This will hopefully change for the upcoming shows... She will need a backdrop, video preferably.
A couple of new costumes were spotted... it looked like she wore the cream coloured jacket seen in the Secret Love Video at one point... and she ended her set with Edge of Seventeen appropriately wearing all white. The top portion looked new... the bottom looks like the ruffled dress she also has a copy of in black and one in red. And the boots were apparently back for the full night.
