On Saturday night, Stevie Nicks performed at the Sands Event Center in Bethlehem, PA — the lucky 13th show of the 24 Karat Gold Tour.
Stevie has been telling audiences how important it is to do one wants, especially at her age. She stayed true to that advice by dropping “Dreams,” Fleetwood Mac’s only number single in the U.S, from Saturday night’s set list. The perennial favorite has been included in every major solo or Fleetwood Mac tour set list since its release in 1977. Stevie also dropped the related Bella Donna track “Outside the Rain,” another song often included in her set lists. But to the delight of the crowd, she replaced the two songs with Fleetwood Mac’s classic 1982 hit single “Gypsy.” She used the same black-and-white, projection-screen visuals featured in Fleetwood Mac’s 2014-2015’s On with the Show Tour.
During “Stand Back,” Stevie posed with the 1973 Buckingham Nicks record, which a fan had brought for Stevie to sign. (It had already been signed by guitarist Lindsey Buckingham.) A similar moment occurred during Fleetwood Mac’s On with the Show Tour, where a fan presented the album for both Lindsey and Stevie to sign.
During “Edge of Seventeen,” two fans in the front row (Vikki Carlucci and Roseanne Mughetto) gave Stevie a rose-decorated crown, which Stevie graciously accepted and wore on stage (see more photos below).

LOS ANGELES – Stevie Nicks has gone solo for the “24 Karat Gold Tour” playing more than two dozen arena dates in North America before the end of the year. The tour launched in Phoenix on Oct. 25 and concludes at the Forum in Los Angeles on Dec. 18. Production designer Paul Guthrie of Toss Film & Design Inc. in Minneapolis chose 88 Claypaky Mythos fixtures for the lighting rig and a grandMA2 console for show control.
Nicks’s latest tour, in support of her album, 24 Karat Gold – Songs from the Vault, launched in Phoenix and will wrap in Los Angeles. While the iconic singer/songwriter appears as a solo artist, she tapped the Pretenders to open for her – delivering a powerhouse show for ticketholders.
A veteran of Nicks’s tours, Guthrie endeavored to “create something new and a bit more modern” for her new show. “Stevie enjoys using video content so the tour features a lot of video on an LED video wall backdrop and L-shaped scenic pieces,” he explains. “Our overwhelming lighting edict is always no smoke. So we defer to lighting the band and adding in layers of light to create new looks.”
The versatility of Mythos offers myriad options to Guthrie. “It’s fun to have one light that can produce a multitude of different effects in the same head,” he says. “Mythos is basically the workhorse light in the rig.” He notes that the tour’s complement of 100-120 moving lights “is now considered a medium-size rig for an arena tour. It used to be that 16 were considered to be a lot! We’ve come a long way.” PRG’s Las Vegas office supplied the fixtures.
Eighty Mythos are mounted in the overhead lighting trusses where they form “solid lines of Mythos,” Guthrie reports. “On the downstage and mid-stage trusses they provide stage wash and beam effects. Those on the most upstage of the trusses, upstage of the video wall, create layers to add depth.”
Eight more Mythos are positioned on the floor upstage of the band “to set fire” to their dynamic performance.
Tom Wagstaff, the lighting director for the Pretenders deploys about 60 Mythos, on the downstage and mid-stage trusses, and repositions the complement on the floor, says Guthrie.
Two grandMA2 full-size consoles, one active and one back up, and two NPUs are on hand to “literally run everything that’s moving and changing on stage that’s not the actual band,” he notes. “We control all the lights, the video, the hoists and the scenic movement from the board.”
Guthrie and Chris Lose jointly programmed the show. “I had the show file from Stevie’s last solo tour and Chris had the show file from the last Fleetwood Mac tour he did. So we combined them to start then built out the file over two weeks of rehearsals at Sony in LA.”
Guthrie likes the grandMA2 for its “reliability and feature set. I’m extremely fortunate to work with a lot of very clever MA users so I’m constantly learning new tricks,” he adds.
“The ability for Chris and me to be on the board and programming was a huge advantage. In a lot of rehearsals, I was making adjustments to the file as he was running the show. I could program content while he programmed lights. That’s a massive advantage.”
For the “24 Karat Gold Tour” Thomas Mayer is the lighting crew chief and Cecil Nelson, Matt Schiller and Scott Naef are the lighting crew.
A.C.T Lighting, Inc. is the exclusive North American distributor of both Claypaky fixtures and MA Lighting products. Guthrie previously deployed Mythos on tours for Miranda Lambert and Macklemore and Lewis.

“This tour has made me really believe that, you know, we all really should do what we want to do. Sometimes people tell you what you should do and, where they want you to go — whether it’s your parents or your friends or your boyfriend, the girlfriends, whatever, and people have a whole lot to say about what it is that you do. And I just want to remind you that the person that knows what you should do for you the best IS YOU. And that is what I have learned in my very long life that — in my very long life — is that time passes, things pass, problems pass away, and what you are left with is you and your dreams. So take care of your dreams and make them work for you and be happy amongst your dreams and the things that you love because that’s really…when you get to be my age… I mean, I don’t feel old, even though I totally am. I don’t feel that way. I feel like I’m still wrapped in my dreams, and you should too.”
“So I love you all! You are a magnificent, magnificent city, and yes, I think I’m absolutely gonna get one of those beautiful apartments on Beacon Street. So I’ll see you there, walkin’ up and down the street. Thank you, Boston! You’ve been awesome!”

On Monday night, Stevie Nicks performed at Verizon Center in the nation’s capital, Washington DC — the 11th show of the 24 Karat Gold Tour.
Stevie has been having a lot of fun on the tour, even letting an expletive unexpectedly roll off her tongue at the DC show. While telling the story of ‘Crying in Night,’ Stevie accidentally dropped the F-bomb, saying “Why in the f*ck not?” Shocked by what she had just said, Stevie instantly covered her mouth, walked away from the mic, and paced around the stage for a few moments before returning to the center to apologize to the crowd. She told them “I never swear onstage — ever!” But the crowd didn’t seem to mind in the slightest and found Stevie’s blooper moment to be quite human and amusing. They laughed and shouted out in support ‘We love you, Stevie!’” Even guitar Waddy Wachtel walked over, with a big grin on his face, and put his arm around the clearly mortified Stevie. She managed to compose herself and continue telling the story. (See the full clip below).

“…other people won’t like it. So maybe we shouldn’t do it. And finally, we’re like, ‘Why in the fuck not?’ Lynn Fleetwood, I know you’re out there. Do not tell anybody that you heard that. I do not swear onstage — ever. I swear in my regular life, but I do not ever swear onstage so I am…let me apologize for that.
Anyway, I did say basically that. So we just decided, OK, let’s do it, why not? Without using the expletive. So anyway, it’s uh a very, it’s cool song. I have no idea what in the world at 21, 22-years old what the hell these uh…that’s not a swear word. That’s just, you know, a place. Um, I think that it’s uh I can’t figure out what in the world I wrote it. I must have seen a movie or something that I wrote it about because it’s very interesting…intriguing words. So anyway, here it is, ‘Crying in the Night.’”

“This next song was written song by Tom Petty, and uh, he let me have this song for the first single of the Bella Donna record and had he not given me this song, I have to say, we might not even be standing here tonight. So every time I hear this song, I feel like, ‘Thank you, God. Thank you, God, for Tom Petty.’ So… So thank you, God, for Tom Petty!”

“Next song is about, um, was written probably in around, around mid-1979 and it was… I had just been in Fleetwood Mac long enough to understand that I was pretty famous and I had a good job and, um, I went on tour a lot and if you happen to have a boyfriend, um, you had to leave. So most relationships in those days ended when tours began because you had no choice and you couldn’t certainly take your boyfriend with you. This is what they say on the road: ‘If you don’t have a job, you can’t come,’ especially if you’re a guy coming with a girl singer. So that’s not gonna work. So anyway, this song was kind of written about, in my little, you know, metaphorical mind, of me walking out down the path to the giant long limousine, which I loved from the very beginning, um, and say goodbye. Turning around and waving and saying goodbye and knowing that you’re not gonna come back for a really long time and probably when you do, the relationship is gonna be over. However, you’re going on tour so it’s such a good thing. So anyway, this song’s called ‘Belle Fleur.’ That means beautiful flower…fleur, fleur, fleur.”

“When Lindsey and I first came to Los Angeles, it was like 1971, and we kind of arrived here with 12 songs that became the Buckingham Nicks songs. The first thing we did was move in with our producer Keith Olsen, much to his like, ‘Oh, great,’ and met Waddy Wachtel. So Waddy started talking to us with our music and we finished this amazing record called Buckingham Nicks. And there was song on it that was gonna be like the single. We’re not sure if anyone even heard this song. We’re actually not even sure if anybody on the West Coast ever heard the record. But he’s been saying to me for many years, ‘Stevie, we should do the song.’ And I’m like, ‘Well, I don’t know, you know. It is on Buckingham Nicks and maybe Lindsey wouldn’t like it.’ And so we never did, and finally this time, ‘Let’s do it. Why not?’ So anyway, this is it. And it’s very old, and when the songs over, I’m gonna tell you actually like how old it is. It’s called ‘Crying in the Night.’”

On Monday night, Stevie Nicks performed at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, the eighth show of the 24 Karat Gold Tour.
During the introduction of “Crying the Night,” the 43-year-old song from Buckingham Nicks (1973), Stevie gave aspiring Nashville musicians a pep talk, encouraging them to pursue their dreams and “to reach out there and find that star.” Stevie’s inspiring words produced an enthusiastic response from the Nashville crowd and fans posting on social media (see below).
On the eve of the 2016 elections, Stevie also advised the crowd “whatever you do tomorrow, think carefully.”

“This next song was one of many that was supposed to go on Bella Donna. It was about, it was the story of a rock and roll girl, who had a boyfriend and had to leave and say goodbye on a like year tour. It’s always hard to do — happens all the time. It’s never fun because, uh, it’s always hard to leave somebody behind. They’re not crazy about that idea, and really neither are you. So anyway, this is a song that I wrote all those many years — probably 1980, 81 — about that, and it’s called Belle Flower… ‘Belle Fleur’… Blue Flow-… Blue Flower… ‘Belle Fleur’!”

“This next song was written probably in around 1980 in Tom Petty’s basement. And I know somehow that you all wished that you had been there. And I wanted to be there so I can understand that.
I would arrive at Tom’s house with my Hershey Chocolate powder, just in case I needed a glass of chocolate milk. I know, does that sound ridiculous? But it’s true, and my guitar, and who played guitar? I had really long nails then too, so he’d go like, ‘Are you moving in?’ And I would go, ‘Well, kinda. I’m here for the day.’ And, um, so we went down to the little studio in his basement, and I played this song, and as the day went by, the rest of the Heartbreakers kind of straggled in, and Tom says, ‘I think that’s a good song, Stevie.’ And I’m like, ‘Thank you!’
And so we recorded it, and it came out great, and it was a real Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ track. And but just me sang, he didn’t sing, and um, at just then, I left with my cassette and so it just went into ‘The Vault’ with so many other songs, and there is has stayed until I did 24 Karat Gold a year and a half ago, two years ago. And so anyway, it’s uh, I’m so glad that some of these songs actually are here to be new for me now because otherwise they’d just be old, but now they’re new. I get confused about… So anyway, it’s called ‘Starshine’”
Moonlight (A Vampire’s Dream) (hejiranyc)
“For those of us who live in the world of the Twilight stories — which I do — that song was the whole reason that I even did In Your Dreams because I had given up, pretty much, on doing a record from Trouble in Shangri-La because I thought there’s no reason to. People don’t buy records anymore, it’s not, you know. So I didn’t for nine years and then I went to Brisbane (Australia) with Fleetwood Mac, and I saw the first two Twilight movies. And the second movie really really got me, took me back to something that I had happened to me a long time ago, and I sat down at the piano and I wrote ‘Moonlight’. When I was done with it, I said to my assistant (Karen Johnston) I’ma have to make a record because I can’t just put ‘Moonlight’ out by itself — ‘Moonlight’ by Stevie Nicks! So I’ma have to wrap a record, wrap the arms of a new record around this song in order to do this to give this song to the people because it’s really, it’s really my favorite song, pretty much, of all time. So thank you. I’m glad that you liked it. I’m so…that makes me so happy. Thank you, really, thank you so much.”

“Well, this next song is the oldest song that we actually have on record, and this will make you laugh, so. In 1973, Lindsey and I made a record called Buckingham Nicks. But in 1971, we drove down to Los Angeles in Lindsey’s Skylark beauty, and were lucky enough to meet Waddy Wachtel. And there started a wonderful musical relationship where we worked for, it seemed, like years and years. In retrospect, it probably wasn’t years and years and years; it was a couple of years. And we made the record Buckingham Nicks out at Sound City — “the famous Sound City.” And this song was gonna be the single off the Buckingham Nicks record, which was released by Polydor and then dropped three months later, and we were heartbroken because we thought — we all thought — that we’d made the best record that we were ever gonna make in our life. And it really was a really good record so we kinda had to… We didn’t know…have any idea of what to do at that point. But the single was gonna be this next song we’re going to do for you. We’re not sure that this single actually ever even let out. But we always felt that it was like the single. And it’s a very strange little song so you’ll have to… After this, you’ll have to listen to the words of it, try to figure out what at 21-22-years old, what the hell I was writing about when I wrote this song because it’s very intriguing. Anyway, it’s called ‘Crying in t he Night’ from the Buckingham Nicks album, and there you go.”

Leather and Lace (Allen B)
“So this next song, um, it’s funny, kinda. In 1976, I was going out with Don Henley, and he was my first boyfriend after Lindsey. And I got a call from Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter, and they were doing a record, and they wanted me to write a song called ‘Leather and Lace.’ And they wanted it to be about the fact that they were this married couple and they were like making it as a married couple in the business, and that was hard in 1976. It’s hard now. It’s hard always to be part of a couple in music. So I said, ‘OK, I’m up for that challenge. I will take it on.’ So I did, and I said, ‘I’ll do it, I’ll do it.’
So I started writing this song and I would, and Don was, you know, he was around, and I didn’t want him to like help me write it because I wanted to write it. But at the same time, I respected him so much because he like in The Eagles, and I’d only been in Fleetwood Mac for a year at that point so, a year before that I was like a cleaning lady and I’m in a beautiful apartment and Don Henely’s just around so I’m like going like, ‘What do you think, Don? Is it good? And he’s like, ‘Not really. Um, it’s got soul, a little bit. It’s coming, but no.’ So I’d go back and I’d start over and I’d try it again and I’d go to play it again and I’d say, ‘Is this better? And he’d be like, ‘Well, it’s better, but it’s not there yet.’ So I’d go back to my bedroom and sit on the bed and I’d play again and I’d like write, you know, and I’d come out and say, ‘What do you think about this?’ I’d play it again, and one day, it was not a few days, it was like two weeks, and one day he said, ‘It’s good.’ And I said breathlessly, ‘So we’re done?’ And he said, ‘We’re done.’ And I said, ‘OK!’
So I sent it off to Waylon and Jessi, and I was very proud of myself because people don’t usually say that, I want you to write a song about a certain thing. It’s like, tell me what to do. So I was so excited, and then I find out that Jessi and Waylon are splitting up. And I’m like, ‘Well, that’s not gonna work for me.’ So I called up Waylon Jennings, and I tell him, ‘You guys can’t do the song.’ And he’s like, ‘Why?’ And I said, ‘Because you’re splitting up and this song is about not splitting up. And I really spent a lot of time and I got a lot of advice from Don Henley from the Eagles so I need you to give me back my song.’
So anyway, so they didn’t do it, and I said to Don, ‘If I ever have a solo career, which I probably never will, but if I ever do, would you sing this with me?’ And he said, ‘Of course, I will.” And so, you know, premonition 1976 to 1981, Don and I sang it. So we’re gonna it for you tonight, and we’re gonna do it the way, because obviously we couldn’t just take Don Henley on the road with us, so the girls had to do it by, we had to do it by ourselves. So this was the way that we first presented it to the world, um, in person, and uh so it’s interesting because it’s not a duet now, it’s a trio. So here it is, ‘Leather and Lace.’”
Final Comments
“I guess I don’t have to you that you have been an AWESOME, AWESOME Floridian audience! Because you have and like I said before, you give that to us, we try to give it back to you — it’s a real exchange. So thank you everyone. Stay safe, don’t watch TV, just put on your music and get in the car and drive up and down the coast. Think good things, pray for peace, change the world, you can do it! I love you. You are awesome! Good night!”
