Opening night at the Borgata was all glitz, glamour & goldust....Dressed in our Stevie best we headed to Atlantic City. We arrived three hours later excited and thirsty. As soon as our heels hit the marble floors of Borgata we were off to find the bar. There it was.. a mirage no the Gypsy Bar coincidence, We Think Not!! Two martinis later the real fun began off to will call to pick up the tickets.The hotel staff was pretty much all young, hot and helpful Ryan upgraded us to third row center. Shawn took great care of us at the B bar the hotel is said to be the land of the beautiful people so we fit right in. We were getting a lot of attention and we met so many great people Stevie fans have that in common... They ranged from cool Jersey girls like Lisa & Josie to young goodlooking guys who aren't afraid to show their love for Stevie. Who could forget like a scene from Wicthes of Eastwick the Daryl Van Horne character we met. Every time we described him he appeared. That chick he was with gave a new meaning to if anyone falls!!! We were impressed with the Music Center to was very intimate setting we never felt closer to our idol. We have seen Stevie many, many times but this venue was special. We enjoyed this show immensely. We felt so connected to Stevie and the band we hung on every note. We love you girl .. Rock on Ancient Queen...The Queen of Rock Spins again...Love the pink Standback hoody... Thank you for yet again another unforgettable night!!

ANOTHER OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY STEVIE AS USUAL!!! THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BEST STEVIE CONCERT I'VE BEEN TO. I'VE SEEN HER @ MANY DIFFERENT VENUES THIS WAS BY THE FAR THE BEST. STEVIE ROCKED EVERYONES WORLD.. W/ SONGS LIKE STAND BACK, EDGE OF 17, SORCERER, LANDSLIDE AND MANY OTHERS AS WELL. HER BEAUTY AND THE BEAST PERFORMANCE WAS AS BREATHTAKING AS SHE HERSELF. THANK YOU STEVIE FOR ANOTHER ENCHANTED EVENING!!!!!!!!

The Gold Dust tour is incredible! Stevie, you are an absolute joy to behold. You are an amazing live performer! Thanks for giving us, your fans, another opportunity to experience you live! I hope there will be many more chances to see you in the future. Your performance at The Borgata in Atlantic City on June 30th was another Rock and Roll extravaganza. Waddy and the band came to rock and rock they did! They are a talented group of musicians. The electrified versions of Gold Dust Woman, Enchanted, Outside the Rain, Stop Dragging My Heart Around, Edge of Seventeen, Fall from Grace, Sorcerer and the Led Zeppelin cover of Rock and Roll were truly inspired! Dreams, Rhiannon, Landslide and Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You are always great to hear live. The cover of Bonnie Raitt's "Circle Dance" was a welcome surprise and it should be released as your next single.

Anticipation and excitement was high...I’ve seen Stevie a total of 14 times with and without Fleetwood Mac, and always close to home. But my husband decided to surprise me with tickets and an overnite stay at the Borgata in Atlantic City, NJ for Stevie’s show! I’ve usually always seen Stevie in large venues, and was excited to be seeing her in a smaller, more intimate one. Some of the coolest moments was seeing Sharon, Jana & Waddy walking through the casino headed towards the sound check, riding in the elevator with Stevie’s bass player Al Ortiz, and seeing al N>This w as absolutely one of the all-time best Stevie shows I’ve ever been to...she just keeps getting better...timeless...

Last night was unbelievable!! I saw Stevie at the Borgata in AC! I have been to many of her shows but something about last night... "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You" brought tears to my eyes, as she dedicated it to all of the sick children around the world dying of AIDS and poverty. Another new favorite of mine is "Circle Dance"... she sand this with Don Henley in Philly, but her voice last night was breathtaking! She remains the timeless enchantress! I will always always remember this woman for eternity in my young age of 22! The excitement didn't stop there. After the show many of us hung around the lobby at the bottom of the stairs at the "event center" (as they called it). All of a sudden I look up, and at the top of the escalator I see Sharon Celani approaching!! I was in shock! I have a beautiful airbrushed shirt of Stevie decorated with rhinestones and jewels and all of her band members loved it! Which comes to the next thing that happened... Wally and Taku are now coming down the escalator followed by Carlos, then Jana Anderson, and the complete rest of the band!!! I could not believe my eyes!! They were all soooo incredibly sweet and when I asked them to sign my shirt every last one of them replied "sure!" It was amazing! The next person that had to come down was Stevie... but we waited and waited and she didn't leave the same way they did. However, while we were waiting, someone told me her brother was standing with us. So I went up to him, held out my hand, and asked if his name was Christopher. He said yes and yours? I told him my name and we talked for a few minutes. A young girl dressed like Stevie (Alexis, only 13) was standing with us along with her father, Anthony and they were talking to him as well. (Hello you two!) He recognized Alexis because her picture was taken at one of the events and he said it keeps coming up! He also said Stevie saw it! Too cute! My night was filled with wonderful surprises, as I am sure my night tonight will be! I am going to see her again this evening! I recommend anyone that has the ability to see this enchanting performer, please do! It is something you will NEVER forget! Stevie, thank you for giving us this opportunity to hear and see the source of our inspiration! Love, Peace, and Happiness always... God Bless!

Well, after sitting through the better part of last nights show it was time to leave. Don't get me wrong, I am a die hard nicks fan. I have seen her more the 25 times and last night was a disapointment. She and the band tried but it was just not there. She looked tired and her lack of energy was obvious. This is the second time I have seen a show like this , the last was last year and she later postponed the following few due to illness. I hope this is not the case for we do really care for her wellbeing.I would rather see her energized and enjoying the show then a forced performance like last night.On my last downward note, the acoustics of the venue where lacking. Was there any one in charge of sound at all? On that note I will still try again to see the Stevie we have all come to know and love at a later date. But for now I remain a disappointed fan.

My husband and I saw Stevie last night at the Borgata and what a wonderful venue and show! She was amazing! (As usual). She opened with Enchanted and went right into Outside the Rain....awesome! Her set was ofcourse all the favorites with a few twists and turns...a great cover of Bonnie Rait's Circle of Love and an amazing Landslide! She looked so beautiful and sounded perfect! A nice surprise encore was Zepplins Rock N Roll! What a great time she had with that! Beauty and the Beast was the finale and of course in usual Stevie style as emotional as ever! Always a great time....always a lot of love....always a spiritual journey! Best part.....the band hung out in the casion after the show! Stevie was of course resting but the band was readily available and approachable for a quick hello and picture! Thank you all once again for a memorable night! And to all the girls I met last night who screamed along and danced with me...THANK YOU!

Alright now! Of all the years as a fan, this being my very first show, I really thought the show was totally awesome. This was the first time any musical performance made me: 1.laugh ( She has a natural wit on stage all in the midst of taking a moment to connect with her audience) 2.cry ( This wasn't due to being sad. During the song Landslide, film clips of her throughout her career to when she was a little child. The way I interpreted how the film clips were played was how one would see a visual flashback depicted in movies. Though I fought back tears, the fans behind me could not.) 3.inspire ( Yes! If I had a pen and paper handy, I would have sat off to the side and wrote a little poetry, she was, to me, very inspirational.) 4.spiritual ( Every aspect of the show there was connection. I felt it and I know everybody else did as well) And well, great, great job well done to all the band and singers, I wish to see you again sometime.

My husband and I went to see the show on Thursday night (6/30) and we had the best time ever! I have seen Stevie for TISL and the Say You Will tours over the last few years. But, I can say that Thursday nights performance was the best I have seen since the early years of her solo tours. The energy of her and the band was so contagious. This venue is the smallest I have ever attended but, there was no lack of enthusiasm from this crowd! Stevie was in great voice, she danced, twirled, kicked, and was very playful when introducing the Band. Vanessa was very sweet too. I liked the way she preluded her songs for us and her piano playing was beautiful. It is very considerate of Stevie to have her as the opening act. This audience really liked her and I got the feeling she has not gotten this same reception from other audiences thus far. For those of you reading this before attending any shows, be and for her participation on this web sight for "Ask the Backup Singers". She said, "thanks and apologized that it has been a while since she sent any responses, touring takes up a lot of time". And that was and end to an amazing night. I highly recommend seeing this concert, but any Stevie Nicks fan would tell you that!

What a special concert! The Borgata Casino is the most luxurious casino I have been to. You can see where the billion dollars went. Stevie sang like a billion dollars tonight. What made it very special to me was not that it was my 48th Stevie concert, but I was able to take my 8 year old son Louis to his first Stevie concert. He has a degree of autism, and to see his face light up when Stevie walked out was worth the price of admission. He sang many of the songs but every time he looked up at the big screens he gave the greatest smile. I attribute a lot of my son's improvement these past few years to his love of Stevie's music. It has gotten him to speak more and his understanding has improved tremendously as well. I look forward to many more Stevie events with my son!
