Photos: Stevie Nicks Performing at Buddy Holly Tribute - Hollywood

HOLLYWOOD, CA - SEPTEMBER 07: Musician Stevie Nicks performs onstage during a concert in celebration of Buddy Holly's music and legacy held at The Music Box Theatre on September 7, 2011 in Hollywood, California.



An eclectic collection of artists that included Stevie Nicks, members of Cobra Starship, Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump Chris Isaak and Paul Anka saluted Buddy Holly Wednesday on what would have been his 75th birthday in, appropriately enough, Hollywood.

Guitarist Waddy Wachtel led a seven piece band -- with an occasional string trio --that featured bassist Leland Sklar and drummer Russ Kunkel, musicians featured on countless Asher-produced albums in the '70s. Artists spoke often about the eloquence of Holly's lyrics and the fact that his ordinary appearance and demeanor was an inspiration to so many; "we felt like we lost a friend when he passed," Graham Nash offered. ""In two, two and a half minutes, he taught you everything you need to know about life and love," was Lyle Lovett's comment.

His work on the 1977 studio album "Rumours" helped make it one of the top-selling records of all time. More than 40 million copies have sold worldwide. Fleetwood Mac-Lindsey Buckingham hits include "Go Your Own Way." He wrote many tunes on the follow-up album "Tusk." 

During his tenure, the band released six albums that peaked in the Billboard Top 10. Three reached No. 1. 

Buckingham, with Fleetwood Mac, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.

Some of which you may have seen before - but are still amazing to look at after all these years.  The one above is a clearer version of one he sent in previously... Other great photos that Bill has send can be found at the links below.  Thank you Bill!
