STEVIE'S ANGEL BUNNY T-SHIRT

NEVER BEFORE SEEN PIECE OF STEVIE'S ORIGINAL ART FRONTS T-SHIRT

No new tour merchandise for Stevie's short "Not a Tour" Tour stop in Santa Barbara last night except for a new T-Shirt with an original drawing done by Stevie herself... Stevie's proceeds from the show will be donated to Cecelia, a little friend of hers who she mentioned previously has cancer. The T-Shirt drawing was chosen because of Cecelia's situation.

NICKS TELLS AUDIENCE SHE'S HALF WAY THROUGH NEW ALBUM & LANDSLIDE DEDICATION

SHORT REVIEW OF STEVIE IN SANTA BARBARA BY: @WILLIAMUSIC

Stevie Nicks played the first of her "not a tour, tour," at the Santa Barbara Bowl. She performed 15 songs, including Dreams, Rhiannon, Gold Dust Woman, Edge of Seventeen and Landslide, which she dedicated to Cecilia, an year-old family friend battling cancer. Stevie mentioned the young girl several times during the evening and proceeds from her show at Santa Barbara are going toward her escalating medical costs.

Stevie Nicks was in terrific form and mentioned that she was half-way through a new album. Her band was led by her long-time musical director and friend Waddy Wachtel, who drove her 9 member band through an energetic performance. The night also included several covers: Rock & Roll, You Wreck Me and Face the Promise, by Zeppelin, Petty and Seger, respectively.

She's only supposed to be doing six shows, but you never know...

BIO Channel

After 40 years, 16 different members, and several break-ups, Fleetwood Mac endures as one of the world's most popular groups, selling more than 100 million albums. Our look at this amazing survival story begins with Fleetwood Mac finding its artistic niche in soft rock driven by haunting lyrics and female vocals. Mick Fleetwood and John McVie remained constant fixtures, while Christine McVie helped begin the group's transition to softer rock. With the arrival of Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, Fleetwood Mac developed its signature sound. The group produced albums such as "Fleetwood Mac," "Rumours" and "Tusk," and a string of hit singles including "Rhiannon," "Go Your Own Way," "Over My Head," and "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow."

SPOILER STEVIE NICKS SANTA BARBARA SETLIST

Thank you to SB BOWL for providing a copy

Two BIG Surprises of the night at Stevie's first show... Covering Tom Petty's "You Wreck Me" a song she's never done before... And ending the the night with "Love Is" a song from Trouble in Shangri-La that also has never before been performed live.

But... the over all feeling is that given the set is short and the vastness of Stevie's own catalog of material,

there are too many covers in the set.

You Wreck Me - Tom Petty

Face The Promise - Bob Seger

Rock & Roll - Led Zepplin
