    Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around feat. Chrissie Hynde (Music Madness)

    “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!”

    Chrissie Hynde after the song: “She would SO be here without Tom Petty!”

    Belle Fleur (Music Madness)

    “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.”

    Crying in the Night (Greg Perry)

    “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 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.”

    Rhiannon / Leather and Lace (hartsfelder)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Te-iIaPEoxw

    “So the interesting thing about that song is that old witch Rhiannon, she has been in every step we’ve ever done since 1975. You just can’t get rid of her. She just puts her wings on and flies in and takes over my world…sometimes.”

    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!”

  • RECAP: Houston TX, Toyota Center

    On Saturday night, Stevie Nicks performed at the Toyota Center in Houston — the third show of the 24 Karat Gold Tour. With no set list adjustments, Stevie has settled into performing the diverse selection of songs she has chosen for the tour, which includes “Wild Heart,” “Bella Donna,” “Crying in the Night,” and three songs from her latest release, 24 Karat Gold: Songs from the Vault.

    ‘Your first album is just a fluke’

    “Thank you. Just a note about those two songs. First of all, ‘Wild Heart’ has never been done onstage—ever. And ‘Bella Donna’s only been done maybe… Like on Bella Donna tour, I think it was like two weeks, and then I had to go rushing back to Fleetwood Mac because that was the promise.

    Those two songs are the real reason that we’re even standing up here because Bella Donna was the first album, Wild Heart was the second album. And that solo career was only cemented by that second album because in this world of music then and now, your first album is just a fluke. Your second album proves that it wasn’t just a fluke. So those are those two songs. Thank you.”

    Annabel Lee (DeadMike.com)

    ‘Steal the poem’

    After performing “Annabel Lee,” Stevie shared some unconventional songwriting advice. “This is what you can do if you’re a poet and you can’t write poetry. You get a book like Edgar Allan Poe or Oscar Wilde, and you steal the poem right out of it. And you sit at the piano and you just like take the poems and write music. And all of the sudden, you’re a songwriter and you love it. Easy. Seriously, I’m not kidding. Try it.” (This is only possible because literature by Poe and Wilde are public domain works, free of copyright restrictions.)

    Enchanted (DeadMike.com)

    New Orleans (DeadMike.com)

    ‘The city survived’

    This next song is a pretty serious song. It was written right as Hurricane Katrina was just about to hit. I was in California in my house by the ocean in Santa Monica. And I had been sitting there probably for 24 hours, watching it like we all were, and like it was scary because it was for me, I was looking at an ocean going, Oh my God, what if that was like coming toward me. And so I started writing a poem, a very long, very formal poem which are my favorite poems, and I finished it very fast because it was so emotional. And I remember that I had a CD next to my bed in my bedside table that had been there like three years that a friend of mine who is a wonderful guitarist and songwriter, had given me, and I just listened to it and put it away. And I ran and got it and by the end of like 20 minutes, I had written this song. So in its own way, it was written at a time when the world was just caving in. But now it has gone to a place where it did what I hoped it did when I wrote the poem. It is somewhat celebratory because everybody survived. Not everybody survived, but a lot of people survived, and the city survived. So it’s called ‘New Orleans’.”

    Band Introductions (DeadMike.com)

    ‘I appreciate you every day’

    During the band introductions, Stevie made some touching comments about her longtime backup singer Sharon Celani. “Sharon Celani has been singing with me since 1978. She has gone to limit for me many, many times. And Sharon, I appreciate you every day. I just want you to know that and remember that you are such a beautiful person.”

    RECAP: Denver, CO – Pepsi Center

    On Thursday night, Stevie Nicks performed at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado — the second show of the 24 Karat Gold Tour.

    Having once lived in Colorado, Stevie shared the story of her “crazy aunt” who owned a bar in the historic, former gold-mining town of Cripple Creek.

    Stevie told brief stories throughout the evening. “I crafted this song in Tom Petty’s basement,” she told the audience when introducing “Starshine,” a Bella-Donna-era track later recorded for 2014’s 24 Karat Gold: Songs from the Vault. She then teased, “You wish you could have been there, I know!”

    The tour now moves south to the state of Texas, where Stevie Nicks will perform at the Houston Toyota Center on Saturday night.

  • Stevie Nicks dusts off rarities for 24 Karat Gold Tour

    Stevie Nicks dusts off rarities for 24 Karat Gold Tour

    For fans craving something fresh on the concert stage, Stevie Nicks’ new 24 Karat Gold Tour is truly golden.

    She rehearsed 30 songs with her band to come up with the 20 that made the cut for the tour, which comes to Sunrise’s BB&T Center on Nov. 4 with opening act The Pretenders. Her goal was to include tunes she has never (or rarely) done live in a career that dates to the 1973 Buckingham Nicks album with then-boyfriend Lindsey Buckingham.

    Rarities like “Bella Donna” and “Wild Heart,” the title tracks of her first two solo albums that are also being reissued in expanded versions Friday, are in the set. So is “Crying in the Night” from Buckingham Nicks that predates the couple joining Fleetwood Mac.

    Fans will also appreciate the live debuts for a couple of tracks from her most recent solo album, 24 Karat Gold: Songs from the Vault — “The sex, drugs, rock and roll glory songs between 1969 and 1987,” Nicks said of demos she polished and recorded anew in Nashville in 2014.

    “I can never write those songs again. Those were songs I am very proud of. I pulled them off Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac records. The reasons were I didn’t like the production or I didn’t like the way they were recorded. I considered those to be my best songs so what I am going to do is go out with those songs and songs off In Your Dreams [her 2011 solo album] I didn’t do live, and it will be really fun.”

    Such familiar hits as “Stand Back,” “Edge of Seventeen” and “Rhiannon” still figure in the set. The Pretenders’ Chrissie Hynde steps in to sing Tom Petty’s part on “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around.” The show even opens with a rocking outtake from 1981’s “Bella Donna” — “Gold and Braid” — which Nicks hasn’t performed live since 2000.

    After more than a year on the road with Fleetwood Mac on a worldwide reunion tour that grossed almost $200 million in the U.S., Nicks has been promising a radical departure from the same old for this tour and a late 2017 return with the Mac.

    “Maybe when Fleetwood Mac does our last tour, maybe if I have anything to say about it, we’ll definitely go through the catalog and do a very different set. People have heard the set we’ve had to do all these years. Now they deserve to hear all the great stuff through all of these records,” she said. “I will put my foot down. I’m not going back on the road to do the same things we did on those 220 shows.”

    The September release of Fleetwood Mac’s 1982 album, Mirage, as an expanded boxed set and the Bella Donna and Wild Heart reissues have put Nicks in a reflective mood. (The group’s 1987 album, Tango in the Night is also forthcoming in deluxe fashion.)

    The outtakes discs from Mirage and Bella Donna include versions of “If You Were My Love,” a song re-recorded for “24 Karat Gold” that she’s premiering live on the tour.

    Meantime, the other members of Fleetwood Mac have recorded new songs and want to release a studio album, but Nicks is reluctant to participate. Listening to such classic tracks as “Gypsy” from the Mirage sessions hasn’t quite convinced her to go back into the studio with the others.

    “When you listen to that song you wish Fleetwood Mac could make those kinds of records now, but it’s just not possible,” Nicks said. “It was such a different world then, and everything was done so differently and everyone was more on the same page. As the years went by, not really everybody, but mostly Lindsey and I, just went such different ways. It’s really hard to come back together.”

    Stevie Nicks and The Pretenders perform at 7 p.m. Nov. 4 at BB&T Center, 1 Panther Pkwy., Sunrise. Tickets: $45.25-$320. Ticketmaster.
