The Morning Call (Allentown, Pa.)
Stevie Nicks began an abbreviated schedule of late spring and summer solo dates April 18 in Reading, Pa., hoping no doubt to continue the string of generally glowing reviews she received for her 2007 dates both with Chris Isaak and on her own.

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.

Update: Lindsey's performance at the John Stewart Tribute

Update on Lindsey's appearance at the John Stewart Memorial Tribute in Malibu on May 3rd:

Lindsey performed solo on "Lock all the windows" which was described as unBELIEVEable! and also performed "Never Goin' Back Again" stating that the style he used on that was learned from John on the Kingston Trio albums.

The John Stewart band with Buffy Ford Stewart and Shana Morrison on vocals and Lindsey lead them all on a kick-ass version of "Gold" which ROCKED! Russ Kunkel on congos.

There's also talk that this could be released on video in the future.

Update on Stevie's Crystal Visions Sales Figures

Big thanks to Gary for asking Billboard.

TICKS OF NICKS
Ask Billboard

Hello,
I am a huge fan of Stevie Nicks and I (along with many of her other fans) are very interested in the sales figures of some of her albums.Can you tell us how many copies of "Crystal Visions," "Trouble in Shangri-La" and "Rock a Little" have been sold? Can you help us? There is no information like this on the Web.Gary Brunton

Hi Gary,

So far, "Crystal Visions: The Very Best of Stevie Nicks," has sold 215,000 in the U.S. according to Nielsen SoundScan. So, it's still far off from earning a gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America. (Gold indicates that 500,000 units have been shipped to U.S. retailers. For more information about the RIAA and their gold and platinum certification program, visit their official Web site at http://www.riaa.com/.)

2001's "Trouble in Shangri-La," Nicks' most recent studio album, has shifted 660,000. "Rock a Little," a 1985 album, has sold 99,000 since 1991 (when Nielsen SoundScan began tracking album sales).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not bad for Crystal Visions considering it dropped off the Billboard 200 Chart at the end of June, 2007. Here's the sales figures tracked during it's run on the big chart:

Crystal Visions Sales To Date
04/14/07 #21 - 33,944
04/21/07 #52 - 20,884 = 54,828
