    RECAP: Las Vegas, NV – Park Theater @ Monte Carlo

    On Saturday night, Stevie performed at the Park Theater @ Monte Carlo in Las Vegas — the penultimate show of the 24 Karat Gold Tour. Stevie had the honor of being the first major act to perform in the brand new, state-of-the-art Las Vegas entertainment venue. The Las Vegas business community took to Twitter to welcome The Park Theater to the neighborhood, wishing it well on opening night with Stevie as the headliner.

    Being in Las Vegas, the show was pushed back an hour with The Pretenders opening at 8:30 pm and playing for an hour. After a short break to reconfigure the stage, Stevie came out at 9:45.

    Stevie heads home to Southern California and will perform at The Forum in Inglewood on Sunday night to wrap up the first leg of the successful 24 Karat Gold Tour.

    Nicks’ latest outing was an ideal thematic fit for the Park Theater’s debut: The tour is named after her latest album, “24 Karat Gold: Songs from the Vault,” a collection of previously unreleased songs from throughout Nicks’ career, some of which spanned back four decades. For most of these tunes, Nicks explained their origins, creating a storyteller vibe that lent a casual intimacy to the evening—Jason Bracelin / Las Vegas Review-Journal (Read the full review here.)

    “Nicks explained that she designed her latest solo tour to excavate deeper cuts from her catalog, and she did just that Saturday night, at one point reeling off six-consecutive non-charting songs between Fleetwood Mac classic “Gypsy” and synthy solo favorite “Stand Back.” —Spencer Patterson / Las Vegas Weekly (Read the full review here.)

    [slideshow_deploy id=’13211′]

    Fleetwood Mac returned to the big stage on Monday night, performing a year-end concert at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Fans were pleasantly surprised to see the return of bassist John McVie, who had undergone cancer treatment earlier in the month. Looking well, McVie seemed to be in good spirits, playing his trademark riff during “The Chain” just as confidently as ever.

    Fleetwood Mac reprised their summer set list, kicking off the show with their tried and true Rumours trifecta of “Second Hand News,” “Dreams,” and “The Chain.” The band played 7 of the original 11 songs from Rumours, plus the “Go Your Own Way” b-side “Silver Springs in all, skipping all but one of Christine McVie’s songs. They also performed “Sad Angel” and “Without You” from their Extended Play EP, which was released in April, as well as a selection of songs from 1975’s Fleetwood Mac, 1979’s Tusk, and 1982’s Mirage.

    As expected, the concert attracted glamour, excitement, and celebrities to the vibrant Las Vegas New Year’s Eve scene. Extra! correspondent Mario Lopez was at the concert with his wife, Broadway dancer Courtney Mazza, and tweeted the following just before the show:

    Also ringing in the New Year in Las Vegas were singer-songwriters Katy Perry and John Mayer, who were enjoying the show backstage. Earlier this year, Stevie mentioned that Katy’s song “Roar” (currently nominated for Grammy’s Record of the Year) was one of her favorites. Stevie’s connection with John Mayer dates back to the beginning of his career when the once relatively unknown musician, then 24 years old, opened for Stevie at the 2001 Concert for Kids benefit in San Francisco. Stevie dedicated “Landslide” to both of them, which prompted John to tweet the following on behalf of Katy:

    Stevie had her own touching moment at the end of the show when Lindsey dedicated Fleetwood Mac’s 2003 “Say Goodbye” to her.

    “Sometimes you need to cast away illusions in order to grow, Lindsey said. “And so as we move into the new year, a new, perhaps what I’m thinking, is a new set of possibilities. So I’m going to dedicate this song to this beautiful lady, who I’ve known since I was about 16 years old. She’s mad at me because I’m making it difficult for her to do the song. It’s OK, just do the best that you can. So this is for Stevie, this is called ‘Say Goodbye.’”

    Stevie struggled to get through the last song, stopping at times and wiping away tears as she sang. After the song, she composed herself just enough to address the audience for one last sentiment, to tell them that they were “dream catchers” who, like the artists, emotionally and reciprocally invest in the life of their music. Stevie graciously thanked the audience for their continued support over the years.

    Mick Fleetwood introduced his daughters Tessa and Ruby to the Las Vegas crowd and addressed them once more for a final goodbye.

    Fleetwood Mac will close out the year at the MGM Grand Garden Arena with a private, invite-only show on New Year’s Eve. They will return to Las Vegas next month to headline the Monster’s CES Retailer Awards Party on January 8.
