I was given two tickets to the June 6th Mohegan Sun concert by my husband for Mother's Day. What a perfect gift! I've been a Stevie fan since 1975 and my admiration for her is doubled now after seeing this concert. I went with my nephew David who is also a fan and our seats were great! Section 26, looking right at her from the side of the stage! Don's performance was awesome and I never realized how handsome he is. When Stevie came out I got tears in my eyes. It was like seeing a friend instead of a performer. I wonder if she realizes how much she touches everyone's hearts? Thank you for a wonderful experience that I will never forget. Much love to Stevie and Don! Also thank you to my husband for listening to and watching concerts of Stevie Nicks with me for the past 25 years!

Where to start! Don Henley and Stevie make a great match! I am now a Don Henley fan 100% I of course after working an 8-hour day in the office got caught in traffic on the way to the concert, which was almost 3 hours away; yes I traveled 3 hours to see Stevie Nicks! The traffic jam made me about 40 minutes late to the concert, which completely broke my heart, because I was looking foreword to this concert all week. I have never ever been late for a Stevie Nicks concert! But life goes on I suppose; actually I arrived at "Hotel California." So I only missed 3 songs...only 3 not too bad, I thought it was going be worse. Once showed to my seat Stevie Nicks snuck out onto the stage with a smile on her face lighting up the room and her amazing long hair trailing behind her. Of course in her trademark color...black. When she joined Don on stage from what I could see (which was to be exact floor seating second section back row N seat 17 against the isle) Stevie was wearing black pants and some lacey chiffon dangling down from her black shirt, she looked amazing. I couldn’t see if she was wearing her platform rebox with little rhinestones or not...too bad that’s the best part! She sang the lines: Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat. Some dance to remember, some dance to forget So I called up the captain, ’please bring me my wine’ He said, ’we haven’t had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine’ And still those voices are calling from far away, Wake you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say... One part I remember in particular was when she sang "So I called up the captain, please bring me my wine" How she sang that line was so haunting her deep rich voice just rang throughout the concert hall. Very mysterious indeed. It took my breath away! They assigned her the best lines to that song! The next song they sang together was "New York Minute" She sang the lines: Lying here in the darkness I hear the sirens wail Somebody going to emergency Somebody’s going to jail If you find somebody to love in this world You better hand on tooth and nail The wolf is always at the door In a New York minute Everything can change In a New York minute Things can get a little strange In a New York minute Everything can change In a new York minute And in these days When darkness falls early And people rush home To the ones they love You better take a fool’s advice And take care of your own One day they’re here; Next day they’re gone "Last Worthless Evening" She sang the lines (I know she sang more I just can’t remember what someone let me know?) This is the last worthless evening That you’ll have to spend It’s a shame I didn’t know more Don Henley songs I would have been able to share the love, “Boys of the Summer” was like the one song I knew along with “Hotel California.” Next time I’ll be prepared. J Stevie left the stage, and Don Henley said, "She'll be back later." He finished the rest of his songs (the whole concert set is as on the nicksfix), and then what I have been waiting for: ::Intermission:: destiny’s child sang that one song that Stevie was in (just like at the TISL concert how cool!) Stevie reappeared. She sang the usual “Outside the Rain”, “Dreams”. It was beautiful! Then she got to Rhiannon which began with a beautiful intro with piano, I wish I could have recorded this...I love it when Rhiannon begins with a piano intro...so sad, so true...Stevie, standing there singing "please don't go, stay..." it reminded me of The Dance Rhiannon...but I still preferred this one much more, maybe it was because I was there.... Then came "Gold dust woman" with Don Henley...They looked so cute together singing... Don sang these lines: So rock on, ancient queen Follow those who pale in your shadows They say rulers, They make bad lovers You'd better put your kingdom up for sale (you don’t wanna see it –Stevie) Well you'd better sell it, sell it Then of course the part we all wait for when she screams into the microphone “Goooo Homeeeeee” with her sparkling~orange shawl draped over her shoulders, her wild hair falling all around her she screams her amazing thick voice out to the crowd and we screams back to her… Everyone with their hands reaching to the sky jumping and singing along…it was an amazing moment! She went on to sing “Circle Dance” another song I didn’t know so I can’t really comment since at the moment I don’t remember the words but I do remember her singing it very well I know I enjoyed that song a lot. She introduced the band telling how the blond singer (I don’t know her name) was just their “big bunch a love” and of course Sharon Celani who left it all to sing with Stevie since they met in ’77 in Hawaii. I was excited to see guys from the Fleetwood Mac tour still touring with Stevie and her drummer’s hair was awesome…she even noted it. ”Stand Back”: It must be the best song to play live…the background screen was black but with a shadow of Stevie twirling! How cool is that! Stevie just kicked butt at this song and of course she kicked into the air as well…She had her beautiful twirling moments, I always look foreword and expect to see lots of twirling and screaming from stevie’s end…I just don’t know how she ever did it in those boots and how she doesn’t fall over when she grabs the microphone and continues so I went on down the road away from you… ~Beauty and the Beast~ I never saw a more beautiful, amazing, magnificent version of Beauty and the Beast than this. And I don’t think I ever saw Stevie Nicks looking more charming either. Those of you that haven’t seen La Bellet et la Bête 1946, by Jean Cocteau, go see it….learn French if you have to! Naah it has subtitles n’ inquiétez vous pas. The background screen was of scenes from the film, of La belle fainting (I won’t tell you why you must see the film) and of when she is walking in the castle and the candleholders follow her…It made the perfect ambiance for this song…since it was this film that inspired this song in the first place…This makes me want to go home light a bunch of candles turn down the lights dress up in a gown and sing to this song…. I enjoyed this song more than any other part of the whole concert. Stevie came out on stage a beautiful long black gown (someone whistled in the audience to tell her how radiant she looked). Her hair was up in a clip - what a change and I love it! – She just looked right out of the film itself…she knows perfectly how to play the part! The song was awesome at one point her and Sharon Celani had a singing part together the one when Stevie sings “Sometimes she says who, who, if you know tell her tell her now Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh. This is the part that Sharon and Stevie harmonized on and nailed it flawlessly. Bravo Stevie, that moved me to tears! Edge of seventeen started out with Waddy Whatel (sp) playing on lead guitar. Stevie comes out and does her thing…towards the end of the song I tried AT LEAST three times to run to the stage but the security people stopped me L too bad maybe next time… (Someone tell me how to get good front row tickets, I would love to get within the first 9 rows at least once…) So Stevie started from one end of the stage reaching out to people smiling and touching their hands…and then returned to the microphone and sang I know what it sounds like… Then there was the encore when she appeared back on stage with Don Henley and they sang ”Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around “”Leather and Lace” and “So You Wanna Be A Rock?and Roll Star.” Let me tell you “Leather and Lace” was great, in fact he’d sing give to me your leather and she’d sing take from me my lace and then she would outstretch her arm with lace in her hand for him to take and then tease him and pull her hand away as he went to grab it..adorable I’m sure everyone loved that. And I thought I missed this from the beginning of the show It was SUCH a surprise! Thank you Stevie for a wonderful show, Please don’t hesitate to tour more with other singers, I had the best time ever…*beauty and the beast* was amazing! You looked breath taking!!!! Thanks for reading my review Any fans want get in touch with me please email me Gavreelah_neshamah@yahoo.fr

My sister Alaine and I attended the show last night. We have been to many shows all over the country through the years and they just keep getting better and better. The song selection was great. Stevie looked as beautiful as ever and her voice was amazing. Beauty and the Beast was extremely powerful and emotional. I loved the clips in the background. You could see the thought that went into them. Stevie, I will always consider you, as I've told you before, my guardian angel. " So you look to your guardian angel...some of them are here on earth.." Stevie, you're better than ever and we love you. Keep touring girl...believe me we were dancing away last night.

I attended the Monday night performance at Mohegan Sun of Stevie Nicks and Don Henley. At the very least, both performers were amazing!! Stevie and Don are the consumate performers, great great music, and great great stage presence. I am dating myself for sure, but I saw The Eagles and Fleetwood Mac in Philadelphia in 1976. I have been a avid fan of Ms. Nicks for almost 30 years and can tell you she continues to captivate her audience, chills down our spines. The set list from both was packed full of great hits, always a complete pleasure to be in the audience. I have seen Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks solo tours many, many, many times over the years...Stevie your fans love you!! Thank you as always for a marvelous evening. I look forward to seeing you again soon.

When is it worth going to see two performers that make up respectively only one fifth of two of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time? When those two performers are Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac and Don Henley of The Eagles! Last night we were fortunate enough to see one of the few shows scheduled for this combined tour at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, CT. Don Henley was backed by very talented musicians that enabled him to pull off superb versions of Eagles classics such as Hotel California and Life In The Fast Lane. Not quite Joe Walsh on the 12-string for Hotel California, but darn close! Don has an impressive catalog of solo tunes that were well done in addition to the Eagles standards. Don stayed out front for his set, never venturing back to play the drums. He did play guitar on a couple of songs. Don was pretty quiet and said next to nothing during his set. Noticeably absent was the introduction of his talented band members. Stevie walked out onto the stage during Hotel California to thunderous applause and sounded great. She was wearing slacks with rhinestones. I don't think I have ever seen her wear anything but a dress during a performance. Don's only acknowledgement to Stevie was as she departed the stage after her third duet with "she'll be back." Perhaps he is not accustomed to performing duet style as the Eagles are more of an ensemble. Stevie on the other hand has many years of experience performing with Lindsey Buckingham and seemed very at home in the role of co-front man (woman). Don's voice was warm and moving on Desperado, a song that brought a sing along session from the audience. Stevie was very energetic and immediately connected with the audience each time she took the stage. Her voice was strong and right on. After an impressive piano solo intro, Rhiannon was almost a religious experience. Enchanted was a pleasant surprise and very upbeat. The classic gold shawl was worn for Gold Dust Woman as she displayed her witchy woman moves. Don joined Stevie on stage during Gold Dust Woman and stayed for Stop Draggin' My Heart Around and The Circle Dance. Stevie said The Circle Dance is a Bonnie Raitt song written about Bonnie's relationship with her father. Stevie said she liked the song and Don agreed to sing it with her on this tour. Stevie was very warm and open to Don on stage and encouraged the audience to applaud him. Beauty And The Beast, while not one of my all time favorites, was done with such raw emotion and power that you could not miss the significance of this song to Stevie. An amazing percussion solo led into the familiar throbbing guitar work of Waddy Wadel and the beginning of The Edge of Seventeen. This song (from a woman that just went over the edge of 57 last month) was a show stopper. This is her traditional "call" for the fans to come up to the edge of the stage and greet her. Security at the stage relaxed and let several people get up to the stage for handshakes and greetings. She patiently went from one side to the other and shook everyone's hand. Stevie's band was great and featured mostly long time veteran players from her solo tours and at times back up musicians on Fleetwood Mac tours. For the final encore Don returned to the stage for Leather And Lace and The Bird's song Rock And Roll Star. Leather And Lace, an original duet with Don from one of Stevie's solo albums was a big hit with the crowd and sounded awesome. This may be the highlight of the 2005 concert season. If you get the chance, see this show!

"...How Shall I begin to express my experience of the concert? The performance was to begin at 7pm. My 4 siblings & I arrived at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville prior to 6pm, in the case that a crowd would conquer our promptness, yet, when we arrived, even towards 7pm, everything was graciously calm. We found our seats. We had all planned ahead at least a month, who would sit where. I, along with my older brother, sat in section 25, which overlooked the stage to the upper left & I felt was a Wonderful view. My older sister & younger brother sat in row six directly in front of the Stage, on the floor! My younger sister, along with her mate & two children, sat in the, “sky Box,” high above the area, which is a great place for children, away from the crowd. The people, (including the many enchanting,"gypsies,") sat in anticipation, as the show did not begin at seven as scheduled, so, I decided to go out & purchase some memorabilia. My preference at a performance, (i.e., Stevie Ray, The Allman Bros., Tim McGraw, A. Kraus, MC Carpenter, Journey, etc.) all of these years, has been to buy something, rather than a tee shirt, items such as a booklet, or a photo & most of all a key chain. Well, I was happy to see that they had key chains, so I bought one of those! It inscribed, “STEVIE NICKS, GOLD DUST TOUR 2005,” & in the middle it had a magical little picture of a bag of, I presume, “Gold.” While looking further, I noticed that they did not have the other items that I adored so I purchased two tee shirts, one for my daughter (A white winged dove & a white rose) & one for myself (Stevie, with her arms spread out to the sides, wearing a lace blouse). The art on the shirts are located at Stevie's site: nicksfix.com. In conclusion of that ordeal, my daughter, will be thrilled to Have the tee shirt. So, as I sit back down in my seat, a few minutes later, out comes, Don! Much older, as we all are, as handsome as ever. Don sang many of his older hits. As always, the thing I love about Don, is that, because He is an environmentalist, as I am, he mentioned at least one politicians name in one of his songs! That, “Had Me at Hello!” It is difficult to name a favorite of his set, because I love all of his hits, But if I were to chose one it would be, “Witchy Women.” Stevie Nicks The big surprise was, Stevie comes out, wearing, the, "coolest," outfit, a pair of black pants & a triple layer, lace blouse, as she blends in with many of Don's songs, including, “Hotel California,” where they each sang a verse & she totally rocked, unlike her earlier days that were much calmer! I was so surprised! I have seen Stevie in her younger days in concert, the soft, magical, slow moving, mesmerizing, girl on stage & here she is, “rocking,” her, “fanny,” off, like, cooler than ever! At one point in the show, I swear, she had even done A, “mini head bang!” It was the best to see her with such high energy. I turned to my brother & said, “She is the Queen of Rock & always has been!” So then came intermission, I took a, “Smoking,” break. Oh, I didn't mention what I wore. A black & white lace top, vest, with black pants & black shoes, would have hurt myself in my old black leather boots. Another thing that my sister & I had been talking about on the way to the concert; This year, is the Anniversary, of 20 years, that she & her husband had brought me to see my first Stevie concert. I was going on 17 & Stevie was 37, I will be 37 this year, I think that is sooo cool & ironic! So, back to the show, intermission is over. I sit down, again! LOL. The pop song, you know, the one that SOUNDS like, “Edge of Seventeen,” but isn't, comes on the speakers, & I'm thinking, oh no, remembering what the girls had said, in my Scarlet’ group, “She's gonna come out singing a, “Bootylicious,” song! I don't know what to think at this point. But nope, she comes out & sings the real deal! It was awesome. She also sang many of her mid eighties songs, “Stand Back,” "Outside The Rain," etc. Some FM songs, “Dreams,” “Rhiannon,” “Gold Dust Woman,” which Don & Stevie did a duet, they also sang, “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around,” as well as a new duet that Stevie explained that they had gotten from, “Bonnie Raitt.” It was a beautiful song called, “Full Circle,” that I have never heard before. Stevie did not sing, “Gods Garden,” “Jane,” or, “Julia,” which I have yet to find on album, so if anyone finds those songs on album (CD) Pleazzz let me know! (It's A Stevie Thing, Fer Sure, A Friend Said To Me!) "...My Beauty..." OK, hear is where I broke down! She goes back stage. A movie screen comes down. A very old movie begins to play. The lights dim so low you can barely see her. You can tell that she has on the most incredibly romantic gown, her hair is up in a bun, it looks like an opera stage, she begins the song, “My beauty…” The movie of, “Beauty & the Beast,” begins to play in black & white. She sings the song. My tears fell from the beginning of the song until the end. (I powder my face, while she leaves the stage.) Don comes out they sing, “Leather & Lace,” together. Awesome. To end the performance, they both belt out the song, which I believe to be one of, “Tom Pettys’,” hits, “So You Want to Be A Rocking roll Star.” It was the best! At the first part of the show, I was in awe & totally stunned, by the second part of the show, I was just emotionally drained…” But, “Some Call It Love, Some Say They Are Above That, Well, I Believe In Love, I Call It, Worth it!” Stevie Nicks, “Love Is Like A River.”

This was my first concert. It was GREAT! We got the best seats there were! We got FRONT ROW in section 2 (in the center)! We were also allowed to stand because we were in the front row (I stood most of the time). It was amazing! They both sounded so good! Stevie looked and sounded BEAUTIFUL! My sister and I were able to get to the stage during Edge of Seventeen (our seats were about 5 feet away from the stage). We didn't get to shake her hand though, because everyone was pushing my sister out of the way, and I was trying to give Stevie a card (she didn't take it, so someone threw it on stage for me). I am not sure if Stevie saw me, though I think she did. I know Don saw me though! He looked at me twice a smiled at me! Don did his songs first. Stevie sang Hotel California with him, and it sounded GREAT! Everyone (including me) went crazy when she first came on stage! After Don finished his songs, they got the stage ready for Stevie. She did Outside the Rain into Dreams. Then she did Rhiannon. OMG RHIANNON WAS BREATHTAKING!!! I cried when the piano player did they beginning. WOW! Stand Back was also amazing, and she did a high kick at the end. I also LOVED Beauty and the Beast! Apparently, one of the guards did, too, because when she started singing it, he HAD to turn around to see who was singing that BEAUTIFUL song! lol The guards were not allowed to watch the concert, but that one guard couldn't help looking! He wasn't even a fan (he wasn't singing along, so I figured he wasn't a fan). Also, Don sang Gold Dust Woman with Stevie. That sounded good! All the songs were GREAT, and Stevie is looking good! At the end, Stevie and Don did Leather and Lace! I love that song! I wish they would have done it twice! lol So THANK YOU STEVIE! This was the best concert EVER (well, I can't say that because it was my FIRST concert ever!)! I had a GREAT time! I LOVE YOU STEVIE NICKS!

If I had only one word to describe the Nicks/Henley tour - it would simply be "magical" ~ My three daughters and I saw Stevie & Don perform at Mohegan Sun Casino on Monday night. We're still talking about it. The chemistry between them still remains and their voices completely compliment one another. Don came out sporting a stylin' jean shirt/jacket. He played mostly the older songs. I was shocked that he did nothing from Inside Job. Stevie joined him during his set and sang three songs with him: Hotel California, New York Minute and Last Worthless Evening. Whenever Stevie sang, the crowd went wild! Dirty Laundry, Boys of Summer, All She Wants To Do Is Dance & Life in the Fast Lane were other crowd favorites by DH. He ended with: End of the Innocence, Desperado (with the entire audience singing along) and a final encore of - I Will Not Lie Down. He seemed to be struggling somewhat to reach the high notes. We were quite disappointed how little he interacted with his audience, especially so when he didn't introduce his band members. There was a brief intermission. Stevie walked onto the stage and looked absolutely beautiful - her voice was stronger than I've ever heard it. She was poised, crystal clear and ever-so graceful. She began with one of my favs. Outside the Rain which always leads into Dreams. Rhiannon was brought out much earlier in the evening than I expected but it was amazing - especially the long piano intro. She continued with Enchanted, Gold Dust Woman (with DH), Stop Dragging My Heart Around and then they did a beautiful new Bonnie Raitt cover about Bonnie's dad called Circle Dance. It was breathtaking. For the life of me though, I will never understand how folks who attend concerts have the audacity to carry on a LOUD conversation during such a fabulous performance... especially during Desperado!!!! Unbelievable! It is at times like that I wish I had a tee that read "SHUT UP AND LISTEN!" Stevie introduced her incredibly talented band members and sang Stand Back, which had everyone on their feet. Beauty and the Beast was next and I have to admit, brought tears to my eyes. Such a beautiful song and Stevie looked stunning! Edge of Seventeen rocked the house out... with DH & he finished out the set with her. At the end of EOS, she walked along the front row and shook hands with everyone. Leather & Lace was spine-tingling to say the least and they ended with So You Wanna Be a Rock & Roll Star? The evening ended and the crowd was definitely longing for more. It was an evening my girls and I will treasure always. Thank you Stevie for yet another stellar performance. Until next time... ~ dreams unwind - love's a state of mind ~

Enchanting! Never less from Stevie. Last night’s concert was enthralling. Don Henley began the show, consistent with the set list on the website, and Stevie joined him for Hotel California, New York Minute and The Last Worthless Evening. All were beautifully done. Stevie’s voice added passion and emotion, making these favorites even more engaging. Stevie looked hot! She was beautiful as ever- her perfect long blond hair with some added waves, an intriguing neckline accented by her famous crescent necklace, among a thinner, more refined figure. She opened with Outside The Rain, leading into Dreams, just like she often performed in the 80s. Stevie’s voice was as powerful and as chilling as ever, if not better! Although I have seen her perform Rhiannon a dozen times in concert, it never gets less exciting! I love her “I don’t think you do” enthusiasm. She captivated the audience with her shawl wrapped around her at the end of the song while she belted it out with utter emotion. The highlight of the evening was Stevie’s performance of Beauty and the Beast, which was comparable to her compelling performance of Sara in the second leg of the SYW tour. She came on stage in a black gown-like dress with long jacket, as opposed to most of her stage dresses, and her hair swept up. It is hard to say which was more captivating, her raw voice singing such a deep-meaning song, or her undeniable radiance on the stage. Stevie and Don’s performance of Leather And Lace was truly inspiring, but so is the song in and of itself. They sang it just like the album version while looking at each other; Stevie even outstretched her lace shawl to him at the end. He playfully pulled his hand away but then accepted it- it was nice to see them flirt. To sum up the show: Stevie looked fabulous, she emanated energy from the stage, a few times even just via her smile, and she sounded awesome!! Thanks, Stevie for unforgettable memories!

Stevie Nicks and Don Henly Rocked The Mohegan Sun Casino Arena last night it was awesome show had to thank "I Love All Access" for hooking me up with the best seats in the house I was directly in front of Stevie and Don last night it was great my seat was in Sect: 2 Row:A Seat: 6 it was awesome. The show started a late was supposed to start at 7:00pm instead it started around 7:35pm i believe i though maybe some of the songs were going to get cut but they played the full set. Same set as opening night except during Stevies set Stop Draggin My Heart Around was not the encore it was part of the regular set. Leather and Lace and So You Want To Be A Rock N' Roll Star was the encore. Don Looked and sounded great first time seeing him in concert great show Dirty Laundry and Hotel California were hight lights the whole show was a hight light really great show. Stevie is so beautiful she looked amazing as always and her vocals were incredible especially on Beauty and the Beast awesome performance. Before Stevie came on they played Destiny Childs BootyLiscious and a dance mix of newly recorded Dreams by Stevie maybe that will be available at sometime love it. while bootyliscious was playing from wear i can see I could see her she was dancing away it was really cool to see her dance to bootylicious. Stevie did a few twirls for standback and a high kick too at the end it was great love the visial effects she had in the background pretty cool so it was like she brought her Vegas show on the road and When Edge of Seventeen started they let us up near the stage so I had my spot in front of me and was so excited she rocked Edge Of Seventeen and so glad she brought Waddy with her he is awesome. So when it was time for her to shake hands I was ready and when she came over to me she grabbed both of my hands and squezzed them and I told her I loved her and she had a big smile and said Thanks this was so awesome it was incredible show and Stevie and Don were having alot of fun on stage together and solo too it was great show package to see 2 legendary Icons in the same night. I hope Stevie will come around again soon to Connecticut. And thanks again for "I LOVE ALL ACCESS" for hooking me up with the best seat in the house it was incredible night and a memorable night that i will not forget.

Attended the Mohegan Sun Concert in Ct. and was ABSOLUTELY BLOW AWAY......This was the Stevie Nicks all fans and fanatics have come to love......While Mr. H was great I was there to see Stevie and I was definitely not disappointed at all......She looked great and sounded fantastic.......From "Beauty and the Beast" to "Edge of Seventeen" Ms. Nicks proved why she is a true legend.....My only question was - why didn;t she perform like this at Ceasar's Palace???? I travelled to Vegas to see her and while happy was somewhat diappointed. It seemed so normal.....If the show at Ceasar's Palace was like the Mohegan Sun concert Vegas would still be talking about it. Don't get me wrong I liked the Vegas show, but the luster and energy was missing. That energy was there at Mohegan. I have seen her with Fleetwood Mac and the spirit she has was back June 6th.....I admit I am a diehard Tina Turner Fanatic but after seeing Ms. Nicks show Monday she s a close second in my book now.

I'm so very pleased you decided to tour on your birthday..Thank you for a WONDERFUL night and memories of a long awaited tour. In my eyes you are the GOLD in the Gold Dust Women. BRAVO you and Don took Mohegan by storm and what a ride it was....... Thank you, my Birthday is complete.

Just got back from the show at the Mohegan Sun casino. This is the seventh tour I've seen of Stevie's either solo or with Fleetwood Mac since 1986 and I have NEVER seen her more "on" than she was tonight. First Don Henley though. He comes out with no introduction and goes into his first song. His next song was "Witchy Woman" which got a huge reaction. For the intro for "Hotel California" the place went nuts, however once Stevie came on for her part in the song the place was deafening. Her vocals on "Hotel" were incredible. I was also very impressed with her vocals on "Last Worthless Evening". And yes, she's wearing pants while she sings with Don. After she left the stage Don said "Oh she'll be back later". "All She Wants To Do Is Dance" was another crowd favorite and for some reason women love to dance to this song!!! He ended with "Desperado" He came back for his encore which was a song called "I Won't Go Away" or something like that, I'm not real familiar with his solo stuff, but it was a rocker and was incredible. After the brief set change over the speakers comes "Bootylicious" followed by "Dreams" by the Corrs (at least I think it was their version) and on the screens behind the stage is the image of Stevie busting thru the wall from the "I Can't Wait" video and then on stage is Stevie. As I said she looked and sounded incredible. She had a bit of a curl to her hair which was a nice change. The only flaw would be that on close-ups on the screen she sort of looked tired, but she sure as hell didn't sound or act it. During "Rhiannon" images on the screens behind her were her drawings of Rhiannon, I think they were all her drawings anyway. The first one you see is a black and white drawing that looks JUST like the photo of Stevie from the "Rock A Little" sessions that appears on the back on the "I Can't Wait" sleeve. The images were great. The highlight of the evening for me was "Beauty & The Beast" scenes from the movie play in the background and it's just incredible. Words can't describe it, you have to see it. "Edge Of Seventeen" blew the roof off the place. The encore of "Leather And Lace" was also a highlight. They of course ended with "So You Want To Be A Rock & Roll Star". All in all easily one the best if not THE best show I've seen of Stevie's. She was in a great mood, she was smiling, she was twirling, she was playing air guitar, she was dancing, she was jumping up and down after going around the stage for "Edge". I can not recall seeing her this animated during a concert since the 80's. Excellent show in every aspect. Worth every penny I spent. Yes, I loved the show! This looks to be Stevie's best tour EVER!!!

Just came home from the stevie nicks and don henley concert. it was so awesome.both performers were so great. but the best part was that we were able to meet stevie before she left to go to boston. security told us no autographs or cameras, the photograph would take group pictures of 4 and that was it. and they told us not to talk to her because she still had a long trip to the airport. fine. we were first in line when she came in. my husband told her how he was sick and needed this big operation next month (lung cancer) and would she sign his t shirt, she said of course. after the group picture, she asked the photographer to take a special picture of just him and her. she also said she would pray for him. she was so kind and compassionate. we thanked her and after a few more words she shook our hands again and we left. she is not only beautiful on the outside but more beautiful in the inside. we will never forget that moment. god bless stevie nicks.

more reviews coming......
