I saw Stevie at the Woodlands in Houston, Texas July 16, 2005 and had the most unforgettable night of my life. My friend and I had second row seats in the Pit and Stevie was awesome. It had been a longtime dream for me to be able to shake Stevie's hand just once in my lifetime. After Landslide, my friend and I made our way up to the edge of the stage, then Waddy came out and started the guitar riff to Edge of 17. Waddy was right in front of us jamming. It was awesome! Then Stevie came out and started singing and when it came time for her to make her way across the stage, we had our hands stretched up to her and she took both of our hands at the same time and gave us a very firm squeeze. From the very moment her hand touched mine, I was surged with emotions. Once she left go, I was overwhelmed by the moment and began to cry. My friend hugged me and then she too began to cry. I just couldn't believe I finally shook Stevie's hand. I will never forget that night. Stevie looked awesome and her performance was incredible. I loved all of her outfits, but I especially loved it when she came out with those pants and the top hat during Rock -n- Roll. I nearly died when I saw her come out with that outfit, because she looked absolutely incredible. Thank you Stevie! These are the moments I live for.

Oh my gosh. This had to be the most incredible night of my life! My friend and I left Austin at 1:00pm - we wanted to make sure we had plenty of time to get to The Woodlands Pavilion! After meeting up with a friend for dinner, we arrived at the venue around 6:00 pm. (We had just missed the sound check!) At the gate, my tote bag was checked (as normal) and I was told that I could not take my 35mm camara (w/zoom lenses) in.. but my digital was allowed. Ahh Shucks! We made a quick trip back to the car to put that one away but it didn't matter because I knew I could get good pics from Pit 2nd Row. We chilled out in our seats waiting and just really could not believe that we were there. We had planned this well over 6 weeks prior to the show and had paid an ungodly amount for our tickets.. BUT, nothing is really ungodly when you want to see Stevie as bad as we did! We did not care - after all, it's just money right? LOL All I remember is that I was in a complete state of shock the whole show. This was only my 3rd time to see her.. (1st = Dallas, TISL Tour; 2nd = Vegas 5/14/05 Dreams) and I had never been this close. I took a total of 355 digital photos! I'm a shutterbug by heart so this was right up my alley. Every song was amazing and she was in top form with her spins and antics on stage. Classic Stevie all the way! She was beautiful and sounded perfect. I kept just hoping she would surprise us with something rare and unreleased! Not so lucky! During the Edge of 17, my friend and I had moved up to the edge of the stage and as Stevie approached us I was so excited. She reached down and had each of our hands in hers.. all I could say was, "We Love You".. and she said "Thank you" while smiling this huge smile and looking straight at us. Then she moved on down the line.. we both looked at each other and within seconds we were both in tears. I was so moved because I admire her music so much and treasure every piece of memorabilia that I have. I can relate to so much of her music as most of us fans can. She was fabulous on Rock N Roll - all i keep seeing in my mind is her in that top hat with the big red ostrich feather sort of bent down with her legs just a shaking... then coming up the mic and belting out "It's been a long time since i rock and rolled!" Everyone went nuts! After Beauty and the Beast, we didn't want to leave. I was sad that it was over but thrilled by the experience. The 3 hour drive back to Austin was filled with chatter of the night, Stevie on the CD Player, many laughs, and tons of "oh my god I can't believe it". The best part was seeing the vast range of age groups in the audience.. in the pit alone there were fans from the age of about 7 to what looked like over 80! EVERYONE loves Stevie. Thank you Stevie for an Awesome night - See you again in Vegas on Aug 6th!

Thank you my beautiful Queen!!!!!!!! After all this time I finally got to the front row in the pit!!!! I was so excited I felt as if I had been given a mega dose of caffeine! Then she came....What a performance!!! It definitely was one of Stevie's best that I have seen. She looked and sounded better than ever! Stevie and the band tore it up in their usual style with a little extra flare! My ultimate thrill was when Stevie was doing the later part of "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" She and I locked eye contact and I belted right along with her. It was so magical. The entire performance seemed to have a special magical power that evening. Then the moment of a lifetime came when she walked the front row and I got to hold both of her strong, beautiful soft hands and look her in the eyes and tell her that I loved her so much and I thanked her!! I am still on cloud 9 and won't come down for awhile!! There wasn't a flaw with the show at all except I think that the crowd could have gone till way past midnight!! I think I pulled a neck muscle or two on "Fall From Grace" That song is so energetic and powerful that I just get crazy on it. Can't help myself sometimes. Stevie ended with the absolute BEST version of "Beauty and The Beast" that she has ever done...Perfect show Stevie!!!! And special thanks of course to Carlos, Waddy, Sharon and the gang!!! Stevie I hope you do a video of this show!!! Can't wait 'till I see you again my Queen........

My husband and I drove from Round Rock, TX to see Stevie at The Woodlands (Houston, TX). The trip was well worth it. The concert was FABULOUS. There a no words to describe what a great performer, icon and how beautiful Stevie is. Stevie's band was awesome. The piano and drum solos were out of this world. It had been a long time since we rock n rolled but that night we sure did. Vanessa was really good and great with the fans. I suggest that if you are or even if your not a Stevie Nicks fan, attend a concert. She ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stevie was in rare form Saturday night and put on quite a performance. This is the fourth time I have seen her and she was just magical. It is amazing the diversity of the crowd, a lady behind me swore there was a 75 year old up in the pit. I am 35 and have been a Stevie fanatic since I was 12. Her voice was strong and amazing as usual and she totally mystified her audience, you just couldn't take your eyes off of her. Her rendition of Rock-N-Roll blew us away and made us remember that she is THE Rock-N-Roll legend. Beauty and the Beast was also perfectly performed. There just are not many performers out there anymore that write their own music and actually put on a performance for their audience. Thank you Stevie for caring about your fans enough to keep giving it your best!

Stevie blew into town like a cool summer breeze Saturday night at the Cynthia Woods Pavilion in Houston. The arena appeared to be near full capacity seating, filled with people mostly in their middle years, who have taken Stevie's special music along with them in their journey through life. Summer in Houston has been dreadfully hot this year, but as if on queue, the heat relented in time for the show. Vanessa Carlton performed as the opening act. If you've never seen her, she's quite entertaining, playing her own compositions on the piano. She even goofed toward the end of her show and stopped the song right in the middle, saying "I can't believe I f.....ed up my own song!" The crowd responded to her honest acknowledgement with laughter and a rousing round of applause. It's nice to see a performer that doesn't take themselves too seriously. After Ms. Carlton's performance ended and a short interlude, Stevie appeared with her band. The crowd greeted her with thunderous applause. She smiled broadly as she belted out Fleetwood Mac hits like "Dreams", "Rhiannon", and "Gold Dust Woman." The enthusiastic crowd saved their loudest cheers, however, for Stevie's solo hits, "Stand Back" and "Seventeen." As always, Stevie appeared radiant and relaxed, but focused on her craft. Dressed in black, she pumped her fists in the air and even let loose with a couple of karate kicks during the ninety minute performance. Of course, she took the opportunity to put on a gold colored shawl during "Gold Dust Woman" and drew wild applause as she twirled about the stage during the song. She even wore a purple top hat adorned with a feather for a rousing version of Led Zepplin's famous "Rock and Roll." Stevie still exudes the magic that's been her trademark for thirty years. Her songs reflect a poignancy laced with dual doses of honesty and mystery. She captivated the people who came to bask in the glow of her performance. She radiated beauty, both inward and outward- her voice was clear and strong. She seemed to enjoy herself on stage and it was obvious that she has a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for her band, some of whom, have been with her for many years and her fans. Having seen her on several other occasions, I would definitely rate her performance and showmanship as top shelf. For my money, there isn't a better singer/songwriter in the business.

Well, I would like to start off by saying "THANK YOU" Stevie, for another WONDERFUL performance! You were incredible! It was SOOOOOO nice to -FINALLY- shake your hand and tell you just how much we all love you! And it was also an honor to be able to sit (Or rather stand) right in front of you in the GREAT Orchestra Pit seats we had! Stevie's performance was breathtaking! She was in GREAT shape, and in great musical form! Each and every song she sang was filled with emotion and electricity, and was absolutely amazing! There's something about our Houston crowd that brings out this incredible energy in Stevie, and I believe vice versa! We were ALL on a "Stevie High" when we left! It was SUCH an incredible evening, and one I will NEVER forget! One of my favorite songs, amongst many is "Beauty and the Beast" which was a tear jerker for me. The movie clips in the background, even made the song that much more dramatic! I love that Stevie nicknamed Landslide her "Cat song" as it always has 9 lives.. That was great! A real suprise and treat was the song "Rock N Roll"- the Led Zepplin cover.. I LOVED Stevie's outfit with that song, and of course LOVED the black top hat with the huge red feather! That was amazing! That outfit was SOOOOOOO Stevie, and you could tell that she REALLY got into that song! It was awesome! Each and every song she did was incredible! And who could not love all of the great wardrobe changes? They were wonderful! Stevie, you still have got it - and again "Thanks" for the most MAGICAL evening of my life, that I will NEVER forget! I LOVED shaking your hand! All my love,

After two days of rain, rain, rain and flooding in Houston and more rain the day of the show, it was as if a little "Stevie magic" descended upon us as the 80% chance of rain dissipated and the clouds rolled away. It was a perfect night at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion for what one of our local radio stations would call the next day a "really great show" by Stevie. I heard on the way out there were seats available but unless they intended to pack a few more people in like sardines on the lawn, I don't know where those seats were. The lawn was packed out and all the covered seats were gone. Stevie rocked us out by opening with "Enchanted" and the set list was pretty much what you see on the website. We got to hear "Landslide" instead of "I Need To Know." I found her opening remarks for "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You," (one of my favorite songs), really poignant. As usual, the place came apart for "Stand Back," and everyone always rocks hard to "Rhiannon," and "Gold Dust Woman." As usual "Dreams" was the best and it was fun seeing Stevie and Waddy do "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around." It was really great seeing Waddy out there. He is amazing!!! On a personal note, I was thrilled to death because almost 30 years of waiting to "meet" Stevie and about 24 years of waiting to be one of those lucky people at the foot of the stage during "Edge of Seventeen" when Stevie comes down the stage to shake hands and accept flowers, finally came to an end for me! I had a great spot slightly off center stage right. People were a little overly excited as usual but when she came to me I called out to her and she leaned over so she could hear me and I just said to her, "Thank you, Stevie," and she smiled that beautiful sweet smile of hers and held on to my hand and replied, "You're welcome," in a gentle voice and then she moved on. She returned to the stage to rock us down with Led Zeppelin's "Rock & Roll" and I wish she would record it because it was fantastic!! The finale was "Beauty and the Beast" and you could have heard a pin drop. There was something extra special about it. I don't know. Maybe it was the darkness and the night air. She had everyone absolutely spellbound. It was a fabulous concert and it just goes to show what a truly great rock star Stevie is because she doesn't have to be out on the road pushing a new CD to get the faithful to come out to one of her shows. All she has to do is say, "hey, I'm coming" and when tickets go on sale, we're there. Now THAT'S a rock star.

I have pondered for a few days on how I would describe this Houston concert. So bare with me as I toss my thoughts out. Vanessa Carlton is just a doll!! I am so glad I made it there early to totally enjoy her. She played piano and sang like a dream. She has the best sense of humor I have had the pleasure to enjoy in awhile. I love how she explained her songs before she sang them. Thanks for adding her to the concert. She is one of the best opening acts I have seen in along time. She's just awesome! When it comes to Stevie, I am like a deer in headlights. I go into a trance when she comes on stage. I check out what she is wearing, hair/make-up, what kind of ribbons and magic are on the tambourine and her mic stand, the background effects,everything she says and I watch her emotions/smiles. I suppose since watching her from a far since 83 and never missing a tour, I feel as if I am a Stevie smile rookie, wanna be expert. I also worry about her health/voice. How can anyone tour this much and look as if they had just opened up that nite? I always look for Sharon Celani and check out what she's wearing because she's totally cool and has always been there. This is no way suggests I do not love the other singers or band members because they were completely perfect and totally rocked. . I will answer the things I look for at a Stevie concert because I know my fellow Texans will give you a much better review on music and the concert. Her wardrobe was fantastic. How someone can change into so many different looks, that fast, is way beyond me. She did it all. The stunning opening black dress was gorgeous! She's so skinny and in the best shape ever! The infamous Gold-Dust woman song was accompanied with a gold shawl. I think without the gold shawl I would be lost..I love that sooo much!!! The Rock and Roll song outfit was awesome!!When she came out, I freaked seeing the top hat with feathers and her holding the awesome ribboned tambourine.There were gorgeous shawls,sequins,fairy dust,other cool wardrobe additions,and a moon necklace to die for!! I will always remember what she wore when singing The Edge of Seventeen because I saw it 1st row in Atlanta. The skirt was layered gold chiffon with sequins.The beauty and the beast gown makes her look like a Queen. The hair clip she wore in Beauty and the Beast was outstanding, it seemed as if her hair was in a french knot but 15th row leaves much to be desired LOL!!! The tambourine was covered in ribbons and everything that can flow perfectly. The mic stand was also very well done with beads and ribbons. I love that too!! The background set was awesome! I love Sulamith Wulfing's art! I enjoyed the cool scenes that all flowed together perfectly.There was a video in the background of one of the songs of different times in her career and childhood.The Beauty and the Beast film that was shown during the song was spectacular. It was hard to watch with Stevie looking so beautiful and sounding like an angel. I know there was much more but you have to remember I was enchanted. She seems so happy. So much happier then I have ever seen her. She danced, spinned with the flowing shawls, (that adorable shimmy!!), she was just all over the place, and just beaming. I saw the smiles that I wanted to see. I did miss Sharon Celini running over to sing a part of The Edge of Seventeen with Stevie at the mic. Sharon was as always Sharon Celini and just as beautiful as ever. I could go on and on but now I will leave it to someone else to take over. "Has anyone ever written anything for you?" she asks Yes Ms. Nicks, you always do!!

Here it is, my review of the show in the Woodlands. I drove 15 hours from Las Cruces, New mexico, to Huston, Texas, just for this: Vanessa Carlton did really good. She sang a few of her songs that I'd heard, a brand new one that's not out yet, and then messed up "A Thousand Miles", to which she said, "Oh, God, I F****D up the song!!!" Ladies and Germs, the concert was AMAZING!!!! Just as I pictured, she was perfect, and in top form. "Enchanted" opened up the show with much energy, and I was up on my feet, in my boots and homemade legwarmers, dancing like an IDIOT. She rocked it out from the beginning. Our Gypsy sounded so good, (I don't know if was the Humidity, but her voice was even more crisp and clean than usual). "Stop Draggin'" was just lovely, "Outside the Rain", just amazing, "Rhiannon" was mindblowing, "Gold Dust Woman" was a treat, "Sorcerer" was just soulful and made me wanna get up and TWIRL!!! "Circle Dance" and "Has Anyone Written" had me balling like baby!!! And of course, during "Stand Back", she was just dancing crazier than I was, and twirled while she twirled behind herself on screen. It was so cool. "Landslide"....I wish I could have recorded it. Beautious. "Edge of Seventeen" rocked, "Fall From Grace" had no idea I knew it so closely, and it was just high energy, including "Rock and Roll". "Beauty and the Beast" was gorgeous, and I left that arena in a daze. I'm a bigger Stevie fan now then when I left!!! Now, I wonder about Albuquerque....

Just wanted you all to know at the Fix that Ms. Nicks was completely incredible. All of what you have been reading about how good she sounds and how happy she seems to be with her art is very apparent. She continues to get better every time I see her. Thanks Stevie for blessing Houston with your tour and giving us all inspirations to keep reaching forward, towards the light. Best of luck on the remaining shows, wish I could afford to see them all!!!

Let me just say, Stevie you were magnificent and you always will be. I attended the show on 7-16-05 at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion and it was amazing. I sat in the 4th row behind the pit on the left side, which were great seats. I loved every minute of the show. Stevie was so awesome. She rocked Houston as always. Every song she sang I was up on my feet. My favorite by her is Stand Back. I danced along with her when she was singing it. I also loved her dress when she sang beauty and the beast. That was very powerful. She looked absolutely gorgeous. I didn't want the night to end. It was such an honor to see her once again in Concert. This was my 4th time seeing her in concert. I saw her back in 2001, and again when Fleetwood Mac Toured at the Toyota Center when it first opened and then back at the Woodlands, and this concert. I was amazed however that she didn't sing Gypsy, Sara, Silver Springs. But all in all the songs she sang were all my favorites. She is and always will be The Queen Of Rock and Roll. The next time she is in concert here in Houston, I will be sitting in the front row, because I would love to shake her hand and thank her for being the Queen Of Rock and Roll. It would be such an honor for me to do that. Stevie continue to Rock, and don't ever give up. Your the greatest. Thank you so much Stevie for doing what you do best, and that is ROCK YOUR FANS ALL OVER THE WORLD.

we were first row out of the pit (best seats of all in my opinion,we could see over everyones heads) i got to rush the stage and shake her hand after edge of 17 and hand her a book of poetry and songs i have written that she inspired. she was dancing a having a really great time up there. she looks absolutely fabulous and the show was great, very magical. a once in a lifetime experience for me.

What a wonderful evening at the Woodlands. I have been blessed to see Stevie numerous times, but this was the absolute best. My best friend was unable to attend, but I brought my little sister. My sister finally recognizes why I have been such a fan since I was a kid. The slide shows were a fun addition. During "Beauty and the Beast", I glanced at my little sister and she was just mesmerized. All of the songs were great and her voice was spectacular. When the concert was over I asked my sis how she liked it and she asked that I tell her when the next concert was! I did go over my budget for buying concert goodies, but it was worth it. I also hope there will be a DVD of this concert, like the Red Rocks concert. It was definitely a night to remember!!

First and foremost... THANK YOU Stevie! As an ardent concertgoer, it has been a long and sometimes frustrating travail to not have had the opportunity (nay blessing) to see Stevie Nicks perform in concert until yesterday. I have seen all of her current FLEETWOOD MAC band mates (John, Mick and Lindsey) in various forms, but never have I previously seen Stevie perform. What a genuine treat it was to be sitting just 5 rows in front of one of the true royalty of rock and roll. And she looked truly beautiful. The set list that is noted on the web page is applicable for this review and thus to describe the individual songs would be redundant at best. What is necessary to add is that the music played on at an incredibly energetic and invigorating pace. The arrangements for many of the Stevie's hits were far more frenetic than on the respective studio recordings. Stevie's vocals have strengthened and honed since those more difficult days (which she alluded to during the show) and as such with all that she has been through, she sounded truly outstanding. There were many surprises during the show, including the vastly altered arrangements for such famed tunes as DREAMS and RHIANNON. I was stunned to realize that the remarkably well-traveled Waddy Wachtel was standing beside her as the bandleader and lead guitarist. I was also stunned that such grand and evocative songs such as GYPSY, AFTER THE GLITTER FADES, SILVER SPRINGS and SARA were not included in the set list... particularly considering that the show ended with more than 15 minutes still remaining before the community imposed 11:00 pm curfew. The video backdrop that accompanied each song was truly spectacular and only added to the ethereal (maybe mystical) quality of Stevie's legendary songs, no more so than during the incredibly moving renditions of LANDSLIDE and EDGE OF SEVENTEEN. During the ever so hauntingly sweet song (of which Stevie eloquently dedicated to the mother of her tour director, who was visiting for the evening) the video montage began with still pictures of Stevie during her infancy and young childhood. The crowd seemed to recognize the young lady after the first image of the venerated artist during her teen years, and struck out in applause. I myself, almost began to cry as my reality of seeing this Heavenly musician for the very first time - though I have wished to do so since I first saw the video for GYPSY. Stevie reveled her incredible sensitivity and modesty, as the crowd cheered again at the first images of Lindsey and her FLEETWOOD MAC band mates playing behind her. She smiled sheepishly and bowed her head in obvious recognition of her remarkable historical context. EDGE OF SEVENTEEN began with a mesmerizing drum and tom-tom display that immediately revealed hints of the forthcoming song, though several minutes passed before the band broke into the opening notes of the vaunted song. The crowd erupted once more, upon spying the diaphanous singer appearing from another wardrobe change to lead the band through the track, which appropriately earned her a Grammy Award for BEST FEMALE VOCALIST. The video display opened with a reverse negative image of a 'white winged dove' in slow motion, approaching for a landing, which later gave way to shadowed imagery of a younger Stevie twirling in her flowing gowns. Midway through the song, the two images superimposed, revealing a sense of the haunting mystery of many of her songs. The encore began with a truly inspired and brilliant rendition of LED ZEPPELIN's ROCK AND ROLL, (of which I truly believe was done better than Robert Plant or Ann Wilson (from the remarkable band HEART) have ever done during a concert. The show closed after the beautiful BEAUTY AND BEAST, with a startling video of an early 1900's silent film of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, to which Stevie seemed to give her music, instead of basking in her constant spotlight. Which brings me to the closing element of this review. Having long followed Stevie's career since her pinnacle days with FLEETWOOD MAC, I have drawn the assessment that Stevie is such a lovely woman of truly sensitive (maybe even an essence of melancholy) nature that pervades throughout her life. Being from a band where in ego-maniacal behavior dominated, to witness Stevie's abject modesty, in spite of her obvious recognition of the magnitude of her unparalleled career and the sheer evocative impact that her music has held for millions of fans - is simply astounding and shows a genuinely warm and tender individual who relishes her each and every moment, but never lets her agonies and anguishes fall too far away from her spirit. There aren't many true artists in music... especially ones who can acknowledge the heartaches and heartbreaks of their respective lives, through their music... and even fewer still who can write so imaginatively and eloquently. Congratulations to Stevie Nicks for 30 years of majestic rock and roll... and THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for giving me the opportunity to share your music for an evening, even if it is 20 years too late. It was an honor to be watch and listen as you perform your wonderful music. The night was truly among my most cherished of concerts. THANK YOU and may all of your wishes and dreams come true... always and forever.

Wow, I am still walking on air after last night's concert. To start, let me tell you that I am a fifty one year old Stevie Fanatic!! And...her show (my first) was everything I expected and more. There had been no rain for two months in Houston, and the week before the show we started having really bad rain storms every day. The weather reports got worse as the concert grew closer, which was not good considering The Cynthia Woods Pavillion is an outdoor venue. The day of the concert had the highest predictions for heavy storms. I was worried. Low and behold...when the time of the concert approached, the skies cleared for Stevie. The previous rains had also keep our nearly l00 degree Houston temperatures down to around 85%. The pavillion was PACKED with Stevie fans, but I was disappointed to not see as many fans decked out in FULL STEVIE REGALIA (it was hot in the black chiffon dress, boots and gold dust shawl). Vanessa Carlton was up first and did a cute little set for about 30 minutes. She was personable and talked a lot with the audience. When we heard the first chords of "Edge of Seventeen" with "Bootylicious", the crowd went crazy. I knew all the sets, songs, costume changes and remarks from checking "The Nicks Fix" and she pretty well stayed with the program. "Edge of Seventeen" with Waddy Wachtell was fantastic. My husband and friend were afraid that I was going to pass out when she came out in her "Rhiannon" dress. I was jumping up and down. I loved that she started the song with the intro she did in "The Dance". The heat and humidity must have gotten to her somewhat, she seemed a little worn out during "Stand Back" and we never got to see any of the high kicks that I read about. She did "Landslide", made the the remark about the cat with nine lives. The pictures of her life were great. She dedicated the song to Stephanie who takes care of them all. She donned the white skirt for "Edge of Seventeen". I loved the pants and hat for the Led Zepplin song. Vanessa Carlton even came out and sang with Sharona and Jana on one of her songs. "Beauty and the Beast" was absolutely fantastic and Stevie looked like a character straight out of a fairy tale. She is an exceptional performer and person. It is clear to see why so many fans are totally devoted to her and have been for many, many year. I cannot wait until she tours again. Ms. Nicks, you are the best and thank you for making our lives better. At the end of the concert you told the audience to "take some of us home with you".....we all did!
Mark Elkins
I attended the show at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavillion last night outside of Houston. I sat on the 3rd row in the pit, and the show was absolutely fantastic! Stevie is the epitome of the class act. She put on the most remarkable set, and she sounded perfect. Her band was out of this world. I was so close I could actually feel the emotion that Stevie exudes when perfoming her art. It is a night I will never forget. Thank you Stevie. God bless.
Terri Vogler
A FRIEND & I ATTENDED HER CONCERT LAST NIGHT (7-16-05) AT CYNTHIA WOODS PAVILION-WOODLANDS,TX. AND ENJOYED OURSELVES BEYOND DESCRIPTION! AFTER ALL THESE YEARS,SHE'S DEFINITELY A DIVA OF ROCK. I HAD NOT SEEN HER IN CONCERT SINCE THE 70'S AT THE SUMMIT-HOUSTON,TX.(FLEETWOOD MAC DAYS).THIS WAS THE BEST SATURDAY NIGHT I'VE HAD IN A LONG TIME,IT WAS WORTH IT.
Michelle Jakelis
What a wonderful performance by a most beautiful woman. This was my nine year old daughters first concert and she was not disappointed. She even says she likes Stevie now better than Hilary Duff. What an accomplishment!! Stevie is and always will be my favorite performer. She was as beautiful as ever and seemed to really enjoy her performance and had a lot of fun with the crowd. Gold Dust Woman was especially powerful as well and Landslide. Beauty and the Beast made for a sentimental ending. My daughter gave her flowers and some other items and Stevie held her arm and thanked her so sweetly. Very good show, we are trying to figure out how to see her again in Phoenix or Las Vegas! Thank you Stevie for yet another memorable experience.

more reviews coming......
