(Detroit Review) Stevie Nicks | Rod Stewart

They say blondes have more fun. Rod Stewart even used the adage for an album title once.
The Oakland Press
By Gary Graff

And on Sunday (April 10) at Joe Louis Arena, with Stewart and opener/special guest Stevie Nicks, the saying continued to hold true.

Though both artists' voices have seen better days, particularly Nicks', it was still a night full of hits with a superstar-like aura. In the 80s it's the kind of bill you might have seen at the Pontiac Silverdome, or over multiple nights at the then-Pine Knob Music Theatre. On Sunday it didn't nearly fill Joe Louis, but it delivered plenty of blonde-haired and raspy-voiced fun for the boomer-dominated crowd.

After being introduced by Stewart, Nicks didn't waste any time jumping into her A-list as she and her nine-piece band tore into the shifting gait of "Stand Back" and were quickly gliding through Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams," part of a 95-minute set that included extended versions of "Gold Dust Woman," "Rhiannon" and "Edge of Seventeen," a cover of Tom Petty's "You Wreck Me" and a couple of deep catalog selections such as "Sorcerer" and "Love Is," both from 2001's "Trouble in Shangri-La" album.

Nicks accompanied "Landslide" with a slide show of photos from the past, primarily of her late father Jess Nicks, while "Secret Love," her taste of her upcoming album "In Your Dreams" -- due out May 3 -- was actually one of the strongest parts of her show.

Nicks showed up during Stewart's headline set as well, though the two didn't exactly set off sparks; their rendition of her "Leather and Lace," originally done with the Eagles' Don Henley, at least fared better than a stiff romp through Stewart's "Young Turks," during which Nicks did not seem particularly happy to be surrounded by Stewart's three mini-dressed backing singers.

Blame that on a simple difference in sensibilities. Nicks trades on poetics and ethereal mystery; Stewart is -- and certainly was on Sunday night -- an eternal party boy, still shaking his bottom at 66 and enjoying his ability to do that as much as any of his fans. There's a gravity to that kind of lightheartedness as well, but over the course of 19 songs and an hour-and-45-minutes it was mostly the "musical extravaganza" promised on the curtain that surrounded the stage before Stewart and his 13-piece band came on.

Like Nicks, he didn't scrimp on the hits, filling the show with the likes of "Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be Alright)," Cat Stevens' "The First Cut is the Deepest," Tim Harden's "Reason to Believe," "You're In My Heart (The Final Acclaim)," Van Morrison's "Have I Told You Lately"...the list goes on -- and many of them highlighted Detroit guitarist Paul Warren. Stewart, who changed outfits three times, also drew from his recent covers albums -- not the Great American Songbook sets but 2006's "Still the Same...Great Rock Classics of Our Time" and 2009's "Soulbook" for a show-opening rendition of the O'Jays "Love Train" and Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" And he offered a double-dip into the Sam Cooke catalog with "Twistin' the Night Away" and "Havin' a Party."

(Chicago Review) Rod Stewart & Stevie Nicks Live!

Even if Rod Stewart and Stevie Nicks don’t seem like the most obvious tourmates, their careers actually share several parallels. For starters, each found fame with an influential group, with Stewart fronting British rockers Faces from 1969 to 1975 and Nicks co-leading Fleetwood Mac since ‘75. From there, each rocketed to international stardom, reinventing themselves to mirror the changing musical landscapes throughout the ’80s and ’90s, though, coincidentally, neither has released an original studio album since 2001 (though that’s all about to change in the case of Nicks, who drops In Your Dreams on May 3rd).

At 62, Nicks still sings like a woman half her age and commands plenty of cheers as she twirls with her laced-garnished shawl at full speed. Such was the case during the throbbing opener “Stand Back,” which earned a recent resurgence as a remix on the dance charts and kicked off the affair oozing with ominous attitude. Solo favorites like “If Anyone Falls” and “Sorcerer” were juxtaposed with the enchanting new cut “Secret Love” and four Fleetwood warhorses. Even if “Dreams,” “Gold Dust Woman” and “Rhiannon” missed the group’s unmistakable harmonies, “Landslide” benefited from a surprise appearance by a shimmering Sheryl Crow, a longtime protégé of Nicks’ in town to join her for an “Oprah Winfrey Show” taping.

“Edge Of Seventeen” turned the tides back to Nicks’ solo career and, aside from an indulgent and excessively long guitar-charged introduction, it’s a bona-fide classic that hasn’t sounded this hot since Destiny’s Child sampled it a decade ago. Comparatively speaking, the sentimental, barebones finale “Love Is” was underwhelming, but it once again showcased her status as one of rock’s most distinctive voices.
