Photo Review: Stevie Nicks Live at The Fillmore San Francisco 10/8 & 10/9 2011

Stevie Nicks wowed the crowd and rose to the occasion this past weekend at her highly anticipated two night stand at The Fillmore in San Francisco. She played to a packed house both nights... Fans flew in from all over North America to see the two nights unfold... There were no changes to the setlist, on either night, from the Summer tour (a good thing). The show was chalk full of In Your Dreams tracks that deserve to played and heard on this monumental occasion... Stevie took to the stage with feathers in her hair perhaps in an homage to the past greats that have played the venue (Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix) referencing them in her speach as she took to the stage to greet the audience. Stevie introduced each song before singing explaining what each was about.  The special Landslide dedications went to 2 people Saturday night, the first was to David Young (her first boyfriend at 17) and comedienne Kathy Griffin who was in the audience.  She ended the main set with Edge of 17 with an abbreviated version that we've seen lately from her tv appearances and told the audience at the end that this was all she ever dreamed of right here tonight.

Stevie Nicks and Dave Stewart have penned a modern classic in “Everybody Loves You"

Stevie Nicks, “Everybody Loves You”
By Davis Inman
American Songwriter

With a chorus hook that seems in equal parts inspired by the hit DNA of U2′s “One” and REM’s “Everybody Hurts,” Stevie Nicks and Dave Stewart have penned a modern classic in “Everybody Loves You.”

The song comes on Stevie Nicks’ new album, In Your Dreams, produced by Dave Stewart. It seems appropriate that for Nicks’ first album in a decade, she’s chosen to tackle aspects of Fleetwood Mac’s complicated past: the romantic entanglements and revolving personnel doors that would lead to the group’s most successful work.

Fleetwood Mac began life as a Peter Green-helmed British blues rock entity, along with the rhythm section of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, for whom Green named the band and who would prove to be the only stable force through years of lineup changes.

By the early ‘70s, Green was out, and the band seemed to be switching guitar-playing singer-songwriters like relief pitchers in a baseball game. (1974’s Kiln House seems a clear high-water mark for the ’50s blues-meets-’70s soft rock transitional period caretaken by Danny Kirwan and Jeremy Spencer.)

By 1975, Mick Fleetwood had moved the band to Los Angeles and was looking for a new guitarist. In a feature story, Nicks tells American Songwriter’s Lynne Margolis that “destiny” brought she and Lindsay Buckingham together.

“[Mick Fleetwood] definitely heard strains of Peter Green [in Lindsay Buckingham] and all the other famous guitar players who had been in Fleetwood Mac for the five years before that. So the fact that this big tall guy would come in and Keith Olsen would play him a song off a Buckingham-Nicks record that never really went anywhere, that two years before had opened to critical acclaim and then was dropped like a rock by Polydor—what are the chances of that? One in 20 million?”

Buckingham and Nicks would join the group and Olsen would produce the new lineup’s first album, Fleetwood Mac (their second eponymous release). The Buckingham-Nicks dynamic would help move the band into Fleetwood Mac’s golden era of ‘70s California smooth rock, which in 1977 produced Rumours, created in the midst of the power couple’s disintegration.

Stewart also headed up a famous formerly-romantic musical duo with Annie Lennox in Eurythmics, and Nicks says there was an unspoken bond between the two when working together on “Everybody Loves You.”

Fans have been waiting in line since the early morning in order to secure their position at the front of the house... particularly these girls who took the photos... They've been in line since the sun came up. Dedication I tell you!  Pays off when this happens!

Review: Lindsey Buckingham Clearwater, FL

Lindsey Buckingham at the Capitol Theatre, Clearwater 
The Fleetwood Mac singer-guitarist woos an appreciative crowd with tasteful ease.
by GABE ECHAZABAL and TRACY MAY 

"It was the night's early, stripped-down readings that gave the clearest insight into the eerie genius that festers inside the brain of Buckingham"

Some believe the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. It's an adage that's proven time and again when a band member with an inflated ego decides to take center stage and fly solo into his or her own career path. More often than not, the results are disappointing and unspectacular. But Lindsey Buckingham obviously doesn't subscribe to that maxim. The guitar virtuoso who has served as an integral part of Fleetwood Mac, arguably one of the hugest and most successful bands of the rock era, has no qualms about breaking away from the enormous Mac machine and basking in the spotlight to show off his many solo talents. A small but passionate crowd of 437 tightly-packed bodies at Clearwater's cozy Capitol Theatre was treated to an intimate evening with Buckingham on Wednesday night and, it's safe to say, it was an evening anyone in attendance won't soon forget.
