Review: Stevie Nicks Grand Prairie, TX....

"This devoted audience of some 5,900 admirers genuinely loved Stevie Nicks because her music truly had been the soundtrack to their own lives. When the lights went down, and the opening chords to "Stand Back" wafted through the sound system, the crowd just couldn't wait to show their appreciation."

Review by David Huff

For some reason, over the last 30 days, it seems like every time I catch a live performance of an iconic female artist, I do the time warp back to 1986. That's the year, my memory bank tells me, I last gazed upon Sade, Ann Wilson of Heart and the enigmatic Stevie Nicks. Though each of these female superstars has carved out their own unique Hall of Fame career, without a doubt, it's Nicks who really stirs up the emotions in an audience. With nearly 40 years of whirling dervish behavior behind her shawls, to this very day there's just something about this vocalist that is both captivating and passionate. And it's those very two qualities that lie at the core of who and what this artist truly is.

Personally, I've always had mixed feelings when it comes to Stephanie Lynn Nicks. I witnessed firsthand her spiral downward into booze and drugs at a Dallas concert a quarter of a century ago during her Rock a Little tour. I dutifully reported her destructive behavior in the pages of Jam. In fact, the promoter of the concert even went so far as to ban me from any backstage access for the next year because of the scathing report I did from my behind-the-scenes perch. Yeah, Stevie was one hell of a mess back then. Unfortunately, it was that image I had not been able to shake, all these years later, as I sat quietly through this evening's opening act, Michael Grimm.

Review: Stevie Nicks Woodlands, TX

"She is forever the cool rock and roll aunt who, as long as you don't spill your apple juice on her shawl, will tell you tales of woodland nymphs, players who only love you when they're playing, and vampires in the moonlight until well after the witching hour."

Aftermath can't help but wonder if the people who think Stevie Nicks is some kind of wand-waving white-witch faerie queen have paid much attention to anything she's done besides "Rihannon." Not that Nicks didn't give those Woodlands creatures what they wanted Saturday; we were just a wee bit surprised at what else she gave them.

To bend the title of one of her albums, Nicks didn't rock a little Saturday; she rocked a lot.

Nicks is not going to make Lita Ford or Joan Jett (and probably not even Pat Benatar) cast any defensive spells around their amplifiers. Probably. But "Stand Back," a wicked wind-machine workout of an opener, and the new "Ghosts are Gone" had a much sharper hard-rock edge to them than we expected, like Nicks was hiding razor-blade fingernails in her fingerless gloves.
