  • Spotted: Stevie Nicks “coming home” to the Peninsula

    Stevie Nicks private show
    (InMenlo)

    Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac fame, returned to the Peninsula this past weekend to perform at a private party in the redwoods up the hill from Menlo Park.

    According to those in attendance, she talked to the audience that she had “a feeling of coming home.” That could be due to the fact that she attended Menlo-Atherton High School her senior year. She was strumming a guitar even then, as the photo taken from the the school’s 1966 yearbook attests.

    And yes, as most of the band’s followers know, she, along with class of ’67 grad, Lindsey Buckingham, contributed to Fleetwood Mac’s biggest hits.

    But if you are looking forward to seeing then together again, tough luck. Fleetwood Mac is touring this year but without Lindsey Buckingham, who the band fired in April.

    On Thursday, February 28, Stevie performed a private show at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas for Re/Max, the real estate experts! She was in fine form and looking stunning as usual. She apparently humored the crowd by telling a few real estate jokes. In another funny moment, she told the audience that she had been wearing the original and durable “Stand Back” cape from 1983. “Girls, you get what you pay for — good fabric, good price, lasts forever,” she informed.

    Later in the show, Stevie explained that she knew “Landslide” would become an important song in her career, “the foundation of everything that [she’s] done.” She went to dedicate the song to aspiring songwriters, encouraging them to believe in themselves and their craft because “it could be that song.”
