Lindsey Buckingham... FINALLY on SNL... Persistence Does Pay Off

No only did Lindsey finally show up on Saturday Night Live tonight during the skit 'What Up With That' but he played a little bit of "Big Love"... During the segment Bill Hader began as usual sitting at the end of the panel silent of course, never getting the chance to speak... Bill Hader has been portraying Lindsey sitting in along with two other guests who are the real deal during the Keenan Thompson singfest since the 2009 season. Tonight Paul Simon was the musical guest along with a cast member of GLEE and spoke briefly about his album and made mention of the fact that Lindsey never gets to speak... Shortly there after Keenan Thompson, says something along the lines that he didn't know there were two Lindsey Buckinghams... Then out pops Lindsey strolling on stage, guitar in hand...and plays "Big Love" (no singing). At the end, the real Lindsey Buckingham DOES end up speaking and the Bill Hader version of him still remains silent.

Great stuff!.. Lindsey looked good. Bill and Lindsey were dressed identical in what Lindsey typically wore during the 2009 Unleashed Tour - red shirt, jeans and black leather.

Whether this was a calculated move on the part of SNL to get Lindsey to appear or not, I have no idea.  Bill playing LB is so random during this odd segment, that maybe that's the punch line.. If it was calculated, their persistence payed off!  All in all it was great to see Lindsey FINALLY appear... Hopefully he'll get invited back next fall when his album "Seeds We Sow" is released in September.

Also, during the first airing on the east coast... Lindsey was trending on Twitter which I don't believe has ever happened!

(Video) Stevie Nicks Interview... In depth on 'Secret Love'... Sort of

"Secret Love" Cracks The Top 20....

One omission yesterday when I was posting about chart positions for Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac was that Stevie's single "Secret Love" finally cracked the Top 20 on Billboards AC Charts.  11 weeks on the chart with increased radio play moves the song up from # 21 last week where it dipped with a decrease in radio play.

Hopefully it keeps on moving up!

Friday The 13th with Stevie Nicks: Fantasy Springs Resort

Stevie's first live show post Heart & Soul Tour took place at the Fantasy Springs Resort and Casino in Indio, CA last night.  Stevie opened the show with "Stand Back" and closed with "Love is" with not a lot different inbetween then her setlist during the Heart & Soul Tour.  Only one new tune, her current single 'Secret Love' from her new album 'In Your Dreams' was played.  The show was sold out with Fantasy Springs Resort reporting on May 10th that only 100 tickets were remaining...

From what I've read Stevie still didn't appear to be 100% back from being ill earlier in the month where she was forced to cancel east coast TV appearances and a couple of shows in NYC and Atlantic City - but at the same time those that did see the show said she sounded great and the show rocked!

Three more shows this month round out this short promo tour.  Las Vegas tonight (May 14), Albuquerque, NM (May 20) and her Birthday Bash at The Wiltern in LA (May 26).  We're also hearing rumours there may be more dates together this year with Rod Stewart.

Stevie Nicks: “In Your Dreams”
It took Stevie Nicks 40 years to become unpredictable.

"Anyone who dared to think this Welsh witch had nothing left to prove will leave “In Your Dreams” disappointed.

Because Stevie Nicks still has the charm and chops to prove, that after 40 years, dreams unwind and love’s a state of mind."

Stevie Nicks 'In Your Dreams': A Triumphant Return for the Queen of Rock & Roll

Stevie Nicks is back

Anyone who has followed her ever since her commercially successful 2001 album Trouble in Shangri-la knows that Nicks has seldom been far from the road. After spending the bulk of 2002 in the studio with Fleetwood Mac to record their last CD Say You Will, she and the Mac toured in 2003 and 2004 to support that album. One year later, she and Don Henley toured, then she continued the tour on her own. She toured solo again in 2007 and 2008, then toured with Fleetwood Mac in 2009. She even threw in a few shows in an August respite from recording.

Now, Nicks is back with In Your Dreams, her first studio album since Trouble in Shangri-la. That previous record saw Nicks debut at No. 5, which was the highest chart position for a Stevie Nicks solo disc since 1983's The Wild Heart, which featured one of her best-known songs, "Stand Back."

The new CD features Nicks's voice in top shape. She uses that instrument to great effect with some of the most passionate singing she's had in a very long time. She sings "Secret Love", the first single, and a song that just missed the cut on Rumour in a comfortable alto that keeps Nicks from scraping into male range.
