Last night I had the great honor of FINALLY seeing one of rock’s most amazing female musicians live in concert and the only think I could keep thinking throughout the entire show was … what the Hell took me so long to see Stevie Nicks live in concert?! If you can believe it, I managed to score a front row center balcony seat yesterday morning, the day of the concert. I’ve always wanted to see Stevie live but for various reasons, I never actually did. Last night Stevie performed an album release party on her 63rd birthday … and put on a show that I will never forget.


I can’t say I’ve been a huge Stevie Nicks fan over the years but I do love her songs — both with Fleetwood Mac and from her solo catalog — but after seeing her life in concert, I hope to be able to see other live performances from here on out. Stevie sounded AMAZING! She has a very distinctive voice on record but it sounds so lush, so strong in live concert. Here are some of the cell phone photos I snapped:


Dave Stewart (of the Eurythmics) came out to perform with Stevie for a few of her new songs … and Lindsay Buckingham (who Stevie called her oldest friend) came out for one song. Mick Fleetwood was at the show last night as well but he did not perform … he only came out to bow before Stevie during the curtain call at the end. I was really just blown away by the whole show … it was such a treat getting to see Stevie perform on her birthday:


There tables of these mini-cupcakes put out for attendees to snack on in celebration of Stevie‘s birthday. It was just an amazingly fun concert. Stevie performed for about 2 hours … which I really appreciated. I had an absolute blast!

Tonight, it’s back to the Forum to see Prince in concert again. I’m hearing that this weekend’s shows — Friday, Saturday and Sunday — may be the last of his 21 Nite Stand. Rumor has it that Nikka Costa may open for one of this weekend’s shows …but we know for a fact that Mary J. Blige is opening for him on Saturday night. I’m kinda bummed that the Prince run here in LA is coming to a close … but you never know with Prince. He may do a few more shows here in LA before he jets off to Europe for a few Summer shows there. It’s Memorial Day Weekend, y’all! Have a great one!!
