UPDATE – Due to COVID-19 health concerns, Record Store Day has been postponed to June 20.
Rhino Records will be releasing Fleetwood Mac’s The Alternate Rumours for this year’s Record Store Day on Saturday, April 18, 2020 June 20, 2020. The release — which features an alternate track list and album cover — will be pressed on 180-gram black vinyl and will be limited to 16,000 copies.
The Alternate Rumours mirrors the track order of the 1977 album, but uses alternate takes from the Rumours deluxe edition. Alternate takes include early versions and alternate versions for “Gold Dust Woman,” “The Chain,” “Don’t’ Stop,” “Dreams” and “Second Hand News” on vinyl for the very first time.
On Tuesday, Stevie took in a production of The Last Ship, a new musical with music and lyrics by Sting. She posed backstage with The Police singer and the show’s guests (Eric Burdon, Frances McNamee, Matthew Stocke, and Karl Sydow) at The Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles.
Stevie Nicks performed to a sold-out crowd at the American Express PGA WEST golf tournament in La Quinta, CA, on Friday night. She greeted the audience with a nod to her desert roots. “Welcome! Well, here we are in the desert. I’m back to my…desert roots [crowd roars]. I know! So I think that since we all know that, we’ll just get this desert party started.”
For the outdoor concert, which followed the day’s golf tournament, Stevie delivered a mostly uptempo set list of songs from her first two solo albums Bella Donna and The Wild Heart and her famous Fleetwood Mac catalog. She closed the night with a cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Rock and Roll.”

After 90 shows with Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks brings the house down at the American Express Concert Series at PGA West
“So, did you all play golf today?” Stevie Nicks asked the crowd of 20,000 people as the sun went down Friday at PGA West during the American Express Concert Series in La Quinta.
“My dad tried to teach me to play golf and I was about in the eighth grade,” Nicks said. “He’s very unforgiving and he wouldn’t let me go in the golf cart, and I forgot to keep score.”
Vickie Steel of Thousand Palms was positioned in front of the stage eagerly awaiting the concert to start and never imagined seeing Nicks perform at a golf tournament.
“I’ve never seen her before and I never saw Fleetwood Mac either, so I’m real excited,” Steel said. “Plus it’s at 5 in the afternoon, so this is awesome.”
Golf fans Annette and Chris Salce of Upland also watched the tournament earlier in the day. Wearing a walking cast after surgery on her foot, Annette was determined to watch the concert.
“I’m still trucking along,” she said, with a laugh. “I’m a big Fleetwood Mac fan and we saw her about three or four years ago and definitely wanted to stay for the concert. It’s a great experience and there’s a lot of young people out here — people of all ages, which is kind of cool.”
“I’ve been coming to see the golf for 25 years,” said Chris Salce. “When they started this concert series, it’s better now.”
Nicks may not be able to play golf, but she doesn’t need to. The 71-year-old vocalist still has an incredible voice that doesn’t show any signs of wear or tear, despite her continued performances — 90 shows on the road — with Fleetwood Mac for the past two years.
She started her set off slow with “Gold and Braid,” followed by the Fleetwood Mac songs “Gypsy” and “If Anyone Falls.”
Halfway through the set, as she performed Fleetwood Mac songs “Rhiannon” and “Landslide,” Nicks began to shine and the power of her vocals came through as she belted out her 1983 hit “Stand Back.”
Without skipping a beat, the song “Outside the Rain” became “Dreams.” The song “Gold Dust Woman” went on longer than usual, but was the highlight of her set as the backing musicians had their opportunity to wow the crowd.
Before closing with a cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Rock and Roll,” she said it felt good to get back to performing by herself again and thanked the audience for coming out to support her.

Stevie Nicks rocks Amex “Golf-chella” to sold out crowd
The American Express golf tournament is striking all the right cords with fans. Friday and Saturday night are sell-outs, thanks to concerts from Stevie Nicks followed by Luke Bryan.
It was a landslide performance by Nicks, a rock and roll hall of famer, Friday night.
“She’s awesome. Oh my gosh, she’s incredible,” said Carmen Romoff. “We love all her songs. It’s all the songs you remember, all the songs you know by heart.”
“This is high school. I mean, she’s iconic,” said Patti Stovall.
Nicks’s career spans more than 50 years — her unforgettable voice reverberating across generations.
“She definitely has a very old soul, spirit and definitely her voice is so raspy,” said Astrid Ashworth. “She still has what she had from back 30 years ago. It’s amazing to me.”
Fans said she sounds exactly the same as they remember her from decades ago.
“Seeing Stevie Nicks brings me back to high school days in the seventies,” said Shelley Salay. “I love her music. I feel like I’m back in high school right now.”
The tournament is pleasing golf and entertainment fans alike.
“I’m experiencing great golf; I’m experiencing great music,” said Buzz Kiley.
Some of the world’s biggest names in golf hit up the course, and the weather was up to par.
“There’s been very little wind and no rain, no dust, no sand,” Kiley said.
Fans said they are looking forward to a sold out Luke Bryan concert Saturday.
“I’m beyond excited — I’m excited for tonight, I’m excited for tomorrow,” Ashworth said. “I’m definitely going to be here the whole night tonight and the whole night tomorrow night.”
Viewers reported standstill traffic both in and out of the event.

Stevie rang in 2020 with Keith Urban at Nashville’s Music City Midnight on New Year’s Eve. The two performed “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around,” “Second Hand News,” “Somebody Like You,” and “Edge of Seventeen.”

Keith Urban, Stevie Nicks, Ashley McBryde, Amanda Shires and Jason Isbell are among the highlights at Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park
With the help of a few noisemaking friends — a few hundred thousand onlookers — Keith Urban roared with Nashville into a new decade.
“This is our roaring ’20s, for the next 10 years” proclaimed Urban, headliner of the annual Music City Midnight concert at Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park.
More than an estimated 200,000 people joined Urban, Jason Isbell, Stevie Nicks and others at the annual New Year’s Eve concert, Nashville Convention & Visitors Corporation said early Wednesday. In its fourth year at Bicentennial Mall, the record-breaking attendance tops 2018 crowd estimates of about 175,000.
And those attending, or those watching live look-in shots on CNN or NBC, caught a show packed with a year supply of only-in-Nashville moments. A few highlights …
Edge of 2020
Urban wrapped 2019 by collaborating with two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame icon Stevie Nicks, who joined the show lineup last week. The pair teamed for a performance of classic Nicks and Tom Petty duet “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” and Fleetwood Mac cut “Second Hand News” before welcoming the new year with fireworks and 100 pounds (literally) of confetti.
After midnight, Nicks returned for an “Edge of 17” encore performance with Urban and company.
“This feels like the beginning of a damn fine year,” Urban said. “Stevie Nicks just joined our band.”
She wouldn’t be the only special guest during his set, either. Can’t-miss country upstart Ashley McBryde joined the band for a performance of her Grammy Award-nominated song “Girl Goin’ Nowhere” and a cover of Wynonna Judd’s “Nowhere Else on Earth.”
“There’s only one song I could think to close out my 2019,” McBryde said, kicking into “Nowhere Else …”.
A Star is 2019
Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s hit flick “A Star Is Born” made a Nashville cameo Tuesday night, thanks to Americana favorite Jason Isbell and his band The 400 Unit.
Alongside songs familiar (“24 Frames,” “Super 8”) and new (“Overseas,” off an upcoming LP), Isbell tapped into “Last of My Kind,” a track penned for the 2018 musical melodrama that continues to catch award show buzz.
“I wrote (this song) for Bradley Cooper to sing in that movie,” Isbell said. “I never heard him sing before so I was terrified. Normally someone that good lookin’ can’t sing worth a damn, but I was wrong. He did a good job.”
Isbell offered “Maybe It’s Time” during a smooth set of his welcoming rock and folk-tinged storytelling. His eight-song outing included the howling closer “Never Gonna Change” and a stirring rendition of “Cover Me Up,” the latter catching headlines this season for cover versions bubbling into mainstream country.
“A lot of people like to sing (“Cover Me Up”) and they do a good job … but I made it up my damn self in my bedroom on Priest Lake,” Isbell said, noting he wrote the heartfelt love story for bandmate-wife Amanda Shires.
A remembrance medley
Urban’s set continued a makeshift New Year’s Eve tradition — launched during his tenure as Music City Midnight headliner — of paying homage to songwriters who died in the previous year.
He performed a seven-minute medley honoring The Cars’ Ric Ocasek with “My Best Friend’s Girl” and “You Might Think,” The Monkees’ Peter Tork with “I’m A Believer,” Cream’s Ginger Baker with “Sunshine of Your Love,” Roxette singer Marie Fredriksson with “It Must Have Been Love” and more.
The Struts kick down the year
A rare out-of-towner on the New Year’s Eve bill, transatlantic rock torchbearer The Struts shot a jolt of amplified energy into the concert ground.
Accurately described by show emcee Storme Warren as equal parts Freddie Mercury and Tim Curry, band frontman Luke Spiller dished a gooey dose of rock ‘n’ roll bombast during the set.
The British outfit spun, jumped, danced and led park-sized singalongs to neo-glam anthems such as “Could Have Been Me” and “One Night Only.” The Struts scored a bit of help from Urban, too, who hopped on stage for a cover of The Rolling Stones’ “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” and a jam of new Struts original “Low Key In Love.”
Break out the Shires
Prior to The Struts, essential Nashville songwriter Amanda Shires kicked off her solo set with fitting 2018 number “Break Out The Champagne.”
Her set — anchored by songs off the excellent 2018 LP “To the Sunset,” such as the vibrant opener “Parking Lot Pariouette” — teased what Shires hopes 2020 brings for her other project: vital country supergroup The Highwomen. The group features Shires, Maren Morris, Brandi Carlile and Natalie Hemby.
Shires performed “Highwomen” and “Don’t Call Me,” both off the group’s acclaimed debut.
“One of my New Year’s resolutions is for us to go on tour,” she said.
