Stevie Nicks/TN,USA 2022

As many big name artists resume their live performances, Stevie Nicks also embarked on a solo tour ahead of Fleetwood Mac. Her live performances began in May and included an appearance at the well-known Bonnaroo Festival in June. This was the first time the festival was held due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and it was naturally canceled in 2020. It was originally supposed to be held in September of last year, but unfortunately it was canceled due to flooding from a hurricane. This was the first festival held during the COVID-19 pandemic. Speaking of her live recordings, the 1989 superb recording “COSTA MESA 1989: MIKE MILLARD MASTER TAPES” by Mike Millard is still fresh in our memory, and just like that, the opening begins with the classic pattern of “Outside the Rain” followed by “Dreams”, and the backing band’s performance is also faithful to the original arrangement, so it’s a pleasant surprise for fans who are looking for a live performance in the 1980s, when she was at the peak of her solo career. What’s more, her singing voice, which has not weakened at all, is in no way inferior to her peak, so it’s nothing short of amazing. In addition, this tour continues the Tom Petty memorial mode that was glimpsed on the stage from 2018 to 2019, which was the last tour as Fleetwood Mac so far, and the first encore song is his “Free Fallin'”, which was sung at that time. Moreover, she has further promoted the Petty memorial mode, which is unique to her solo stage, which is different from Mac’s, by arranging “Stop Dragging My Heart Around,” which is an indispensable song when it comes to Petty and Nicks. On top of that, she has a confident set list that lists all the representative songs of her solo career. She even revives the familiar pattern of ending with ZEP’s “Rock and Roll.” And since the audience recording this time was recorded using an iPhone app, the sound spread is not that great. Nevertheless, her singing voice and the backing performance are captured surprisingly close, and it is a unique listening experience that is very solid and has an analog-like feel. This also matches well with the band sound of this stage. Since the sound does not spread, the sound quality is solid, so it is more enjoyable when played on speakers, but in addition to that, the staging is just like the peak of her career, and this is also a good way to enjoy Stevie Nicks’ latest stage, which has a full solo feel that you would never think of in 2022. Please enjoy her singing voice, which has not deteriorated at all. Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, Manchester, TN, USA 19th June 2022 PERFECT SOUND Disc 1 (39:38) 1. Outside the Rain 2. Dreams 3.
