“In 2010, I spent an entire year with Dave making a record called In Your Dreams at my house in Los Angeles. It was the ‘best year of my life.’ But now, I really see what it meant to me; it meant everything. He allowed me to be my most creative self. He is my hero. The memories of those days still take my breath away. Thanks Dave. It was real….beautiful.”—Stevie Nicks

Lady Antebellum wrap up shows with ‘Landslide’ encore
The country trio continues to pay respect, tribute at shows for the music of Stevie Nicks, Fleetwood Mac
Lady Antebellum have been closing their summer shows with Fleetwood Mac’s classic “Landslide.” The band, which is currently in the middle of the Wheels Up Tour with special guest Hunter Hayes, added the perennial favorite as an encore to their set in June. From the videos below, it’s clear that their rendition has been a good-old-fashioned-sing-along session with audiences.
Stevie Nicks has shared a special bond with the country trio ever since they collaborated on CMT Crossroads in 2013. In 2014, the two powerhouse acts found themselves together once again, first with Stevie adding her vocals to a special rerecorded version of the band’s 2013 song “Golden” and then Lady Antebellum turning up on Stevie’s “Blue Water” from 24 Karat Gold: Songs from the Vault.
Here are two recent performances of “Landslide” from the band’s June 2 concert in Irvine, California and July 29 pre-show acoustic performance in West Valley City, near Salt Lake City. (Get ready to bust out the tissues!)
