NEW Stevie Nicks Merchandise.... PLUS Final Bow Photo - Jones Beach
New Merchandise!
A lot of you are interested in seeing what's new in merchandise this year... Well this kinda sums it up. Some pretty unique looking items up for grabs... You have a choice between nine T-shirts, black Hoodies, Hats, Magnets plus the In Your Dreams CD. I particularly like the shirts with a picture of Stevie's own drawing on the front and the one with her and the owl.
Get ready to spend!

Final Bow at Jones Beach
Noticeably absent from the band this year is Lenny Castro, so no percussion player! Noticeably added to Stevie's band this year is Brett Tuggle (next to Waddy) taking the place of also noticeably absent Ricky Peterson who played Keyboards and has been with Stevie on her last few tours. Brett was last seen backing up Lindsey in 2011 on his Seeds We Sow Tour... and when not on tour joins Waddy at The Joint in L.A. for some live gigs. Not shown is Al Ortiz... I'm assuming he's standing next to Darrell Smith on the far left.
The Band
Waddy Wachtel - Lead Guitar, Musical Director
Darrell Smith - Piano
Brett Tuggle - Keyboards, Guitar
Carlos Rios - Guitar
Al Ortiz - Bass
Jimmy Paxson - Drums
Lori Nicks - Background Vocals

Recap / Setlist / Photos: Stevie Nicks Live at Jones Beach
Stevie Nicks Live in Wantagh, NY at Jones Beach Theatre June 29, 2012
Stevie kicked off her first public live performance of 2012 in Wantagh, NY at Jones Beach Theatre on Long Island. She opened the show with Rock & Roll which is a big change. The song normally takes it's place as the second to last song in the encore set, so it's a nice change to see her open with it. I like the fact that she comes out blasting with a rocker! The audience is already excited to see her so a really rockin' tune or something up tempo just sends them over the top. Previous sets in the last few years have opened with either Stand Back or Fall From Grace. Stevie came out in her typical trademark platform boots dressed in all black with a Feather Boa attached to her wrist. She didn't appear to change from the black all night, only adding different pieces like the Gold Dust shawl, the Stand Back shawl and of course the Rhiannon top. At the end with Edge of Seventeen she pulled out the white.
The setlist tonight didn't deviate too much from what her setlist was last year except she shuffled around the tunes and made two additions with Rock & Roll and Enchanted, which hasn't been in the set for awhile. Steve Real was back for his duet with Stevie on Leather and Lace... I read and was told that once again Stevie charmed the audience with her humour. During her intro to Annabel Lee she again eluded to her affair with Edgar Allan Poe saying she was hanging with him back in the 1800's, he was married, but that never stopped her before. It was also said that Stevie ended the night emotionally with Love Is with tears in her eyes thankful to and grateful for the enthusiastic audience. Jones Beach has a great stage, so the Edge Walk was intact... Photos below.
Here's a run down of the songs in the set... Big thanks to @Steviessara on Twitter for a copy of the setlist. This was @Steviessara's first front row experience at a Stevie show, and she won the tickets to boot! All in all saw a lot of positive responses to tonights show - which is great for Stevie and her first night back. Next stop is Holmdel, NJ Saturday night where she'll be just as great!
Thanks to everyone that tweeted or sent me messages about the show.. It was fun read

Interview: Stevie Nicks In Your Dreams Documentary Should Arrive by End of Year
Stevie Nicks has a dream...and it involves encouraging fans to check out her album In Your Dreams. The disc came out last year and made the top 10, but she feels so strongly about the project that she wants to continue to spread the word. That's why, starting tonight, she's hitting the road this summer, not once, but twice.
Stevie will kick off her solo tour in Long Island, New York Friday night, and wrap up those shows on July 15. Then, July 20, she's heading back out again, this time on a double bill with Rod Stewart. The two first teamed up last year for their Heart & Soul Tour, and it was such a success that they're doing it again.
So how will those two tours be different? Stevie explains, "Well, Rod gives me an hour and fifteen minutes and my own set is a little over two hours. So, it's you know, it's great either way. I mean, I get to do a longer set by myself, but I don't get Rod."
Stevie tells New York Newsday that in addition to her hits, her solo shows will include as many as half-a-dozen songs from In Your Dreams. "No one puts six new songs in their set," she says. "I feel like it's really a gift that my audience has given me to allow me to do the new songs and not start complaining...I feel really thankful for that."
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer tells Newsday that each night on stage, she'll tells her audience, "This is not a Stevie Nicks' greatest hits tour. This is a tour promoting a record called In Your Dreams. I'm giving it a second chance because I believe in it that much, and I hope that you like [it]. And if you like [it]...do me a favor and tell a friend."
But aside from promoting the new album, Stevie says her other impetus for touring this summer is to give herself material for a future project. "At my age, you start to really go, 'I'm going for the experience,'" she explains. "As my mom always used to say, 'We're just making memories.'"
Stevie says that she writes her tour experiences "in my journal every night," adding, "These are memories that I'm making right now...that someday will go into a big art thing: book, poems, you know, the whole thing." No word on when that project will materialize, but Stevie has completed a documentary about the making of In My Dreams which we should see by the end of the year.

The night was billed as “An Intimate Evening with Lindsey Buckingham”, which in many cases, for many performers, could suggest a few things—subdued, maybe low energy, maybe entirely acoustic. From the moment he emerged, though, Buckingham beamed a concentrated intensity. He looked lean and healthy in jeans and a leather jacket, emitting a sort of cool, new age dad vibe. He stared straight up to the lights and out at the audience a few times, clasped his hands in a yoga pose to show thanks for the applause, and launched directly into straight-forward, athletically finger-picked readings of “Cast Away Dreams” and “Bleed to Love Her”.
After a few songs and as many guitar changes (there were no less than nine during the main set, nearly one for every song), Buckingham addressed the elephant in the room, namely his stadium-sized self and the small, informal downstairs space at the Queen.

Fleetwood Mac Drummer Mick Fleetwood & 'Hell's Kitchen' Chef Scott Leibfried to Open Lahaina Restaurant
with ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ chef this summer
By CARLA TRACY - Dining Editor
The Maui News
In a sentence, Fleetwood's on Front Street will "combine English gentleman with a Bohemian accent in the islands," when it opens this summer.
That's because its owner and namesake, legendary rock star Mick Fleetwood, prefers that look and feel.
"The most exciting part of this whole thing happening is that Mick Fleetwood lives here and he loves Maui. It will not be just another celebrity restaurant. He embraces Hawaii and its culture," says Eddy Bitton, one of Mick's partners in the business and president of the Bitton Design Group, based in Agoura Hills, Calif.
"Fleetwood's will be a restaurant first. A food establishment first. We have a moving target date for our opening and it's either late July or early August. Of course, it depends on the permit process and other things that may occur."
Bitton joins some rock legends as Mick's backers in the biz. But on a recent visit to the construction zone, I was asked not to reveal any names yet. Of course, rumors continue to swirl on island.
There's a good chance they'll show up to play with the longtime, famous Fleetwood Mac drummer after the restaurant opens. But you'll have to read about the music aspect in Scene soon, when our esteemed contributor, Jon Woodhouse, interviews Mick and asks him all about it.
Yet another big news item is that Scott Leibfried, 11-year sous chef on the "Hell's Kitchen" FOX reality TV cooking show, has been named corporate chef of the massive culinary enterprise.
Stevie Nicks: "plans are definitely underway to prep "Buckingham Nicks" for CD release"
The pair's pre-Fleetwood Mac album, which has never been released on CD, celebrates it's 40th anniversary next September. Over the years, Buckingham Nicks has gained a legion of die-hard fans, who have sought out pristine vinyl pressings of the Polydor release for major money. A 30th anniversary release was tentatively scheduled back in 2003, but never materialized.
It was the album's closing number, "Frozen Love" that gained Mick Fleetwood's attention while scouting Los Angeles' Sound City recording studio. The album's producer, Keith Olsen, played the track as a demonstration of the studio's capabilities and hooked Fleetwood who soon asked Buckingham -- and by extension -- Nicks to join Fleetwood Mac. Two of the Buckingham Nicks tracks would be included on future albums -- Nicks' "Crystal" found a home on Fleetwood Mac's 1975 self-titled collection and a live version of "Don't Let Me Down Again" was featured on 1980's Fleetwood Mac Live.
Stevie Nicks told us that plans are definitely underway to prep their first Buckingham Nicks release on CD: "This is, the coming up year is the 40 years. So, what we're thinking is we might do something to celebrate the 40 years thing and we're going to try and put the record out. The only reason why it hasn't come out is because it kinda belongs to three different people and it's like owning a car, a third of a car. And everybody has to be on the same page and nobody has ever been on the same page. So we're hoping this year people will get on the same page and we can put it out since this is it's 40th."
We asked her if there's any chance for a few Buckingham Nicks shows to promote the new set: "Very possibly! Very possibly! 'Cause we. . . that's easy. Yeah."

She is a rock legend, the owner of an instantly identifiable voice, a woman who has survived professionally through the onslaught of female pop and rock performers and personally through very public drama and drug battles. Stevie Nicks is not just an act – she is talent plus passion, emotion always bubbling to the surface in her deeplypersonal songs.
TELL ME MORE: Nicks has a voice that has resonated for decades and continues to touch fans old and new, whether solo, in duets with Tom Petty and Sheryl Crow or as a member of Fleetwood Mac. Onstage, she twirls around and works magic, as she has for years. Nicks was a mentor on the most recent season of "American Idol," singing a bit with Elise Testone in one of the highlights of the "Idol" experience for the Kinnelon native Testone.

Stevie Nicks to perform at Hershey's Star Pavilion
By CHRIS MAUTNER
Stand back, stand back — Stevie Nicks is coming to town.
The scarf-wielding singer-songwriter will perform a solo concert Tuesday night at The Star Pavilion in Hershey.
Nicks is best known for her work with Fleetwood Mac, which she and then-boyfriend Lindsey Buckingham joined in 1974. Their contributions helped propel the group into superstardom and their second album together, 1977’s “Rumors,” remains one of the best-selling albums of all time.
Nicks’ contributions to the group include such beloved and chart-topping songs as “Landslide,” “Dreams,” “Gold Dust Woman” and “Rhiannon.”
In addition to her work with Fleetwood Mac, she’s had a successful solo career, penning such well-known songs as “Edge of Seventeen,” “Talk to Me” and “Stand Back.”
Nicks is touring in support of her latest album — her first in 10 years — “In Your Dreams,” which was released in 2011. The album received largely positive reviews — Rolling Stone said, “It’s her finest collection of songs since the Eighties” — and debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 chart.
It’s a safe bet that concertgoers will hear a few of those new songs mixed in with classic material.
“I can no longer ask people to buy records, because nobody buys records anymore,” Nicks said in a recent interview with The (Newark, N.J.) Star-Ledger. “All I can do is say, ‘This is where I am right now, these are new songs. I want you to love them and feel them and listen to them. And whether you get the record or not, you’re going to hear them tonight.’¤”
The opening act will be Marc Cohn, a singer-songwriter best known for the 1991 song “Walkin’ in Memphis.”
IF YOU GO
WHEN: 8 p.m. Tuesday
WHERE: The Star Pavilion at Hersheypark Stadium, 100 W. Hersheypark Drive, Hershey.
COST: $39.50, $49.50, $59.50, $85 Ticketmaster
