Stevie covers Bob Segers "Face The Promise" in Biloxi (Vids and Pics)

Stevie Nicks in Biloxi at the Hard Rock Live - June 5, 2008
Stevie's take on another cover. This time out Bob Seger's "Face The Promise" from his September, 2006 release of the same name. It's the first time Stevie's covered a Bob Seger tune. Covers seem to be becoming a habit of hers, but she actually did a pretty good job I think. I would have prefered her to throw in something of her own that she either hasn't done in years or at all, but that's just me.

Biloxi Set List

Stevie played the Hard Rock Live in Biloxi tonight (June 5th)... Below is the unconfirmed setlist. And I have to say... Although I'm happy Stevie added HAEWAFY back in... (about 5 mintues ago I posted a video of the same tune and said I think she should ad it back in the setlist), I'm slightly confused by yet another cover tune being added to her set! She's got a massive amount of tunes that she could play of her own that she either hasn't played in years, or hasn't played live at all... Not sure what the deal is with that... Is she afraid they don't Rock enough!?

Anyway... Big thanks to Stephanie over on The Ledge for being the first one in with the setlist. The order may not be as listed, but she did open with Outside The Rain / Dreams.

Lindsey Buckingham Under The Skin Tour Stats - 2006 & 2007

I've been collecting tour stats for Lindsey's 2006 & 2007 Under The Skin Tour. I actually forgot I had these. This listing of 15 dates are the only dates reported to Billboard that I could find. Many many dates from the tour are missing. I saw his first Vancouver show in November, 2006 and couldn't get over how great it sounded in a small venue... Love it! Anyway, I think from these 15 shows, you get an idea of his draw during the tour.
