Nicks remains a true sorceress on stage
Rock icon is belting out the hits and surprising audiences at every stop on this tour, which includes opening act The Pretenders
1 Fleetwood Mac
Classic-rock fans know Stevie Nicks as a member of one of the biggest-selling bands of all time, Fleetwood Mac. Fans hoping to hear Mac classics needn’t worry — on her current tour, Nicks has been performing Rhiannon and Gypsy, to name two.
2 “Black gothic trunk of mysterious and fantastical things”
According to a review of the Nov. 30 concert in Toronto, Nicks made good on her stage promise to draw from what she called her“black gothic trunk of mysterious and fantastical things.”
The two-hour Toronto set included tracks from her 2014 album of outtakes, 24 Karat Gold: Songs from the Vault, as well as never-before-sung-in-concert songs, and cuts revamped for the tour.
3 Edge of Seventeen
Fans of Nicks’ solo career can look forward to nuggets like Stand Back and Edge of Seventeen. 4 Sorceress
As one of the ’70s rock scene’s most iconic presences, Nicks has an image to uphold. She’s doing so on this tour with multiple wardrobe changes that present her as, in the words of one reviewer, “fringed priestess, stage shaman, sorceress.”
5 Chrissie Hynde
The opening act is billed as The Pretenders, but we all know what that means — a chance to see Chrissie Hynde. The Pretenders singer and songwriter is performing classics from that band’s catalogue like Don’t Get Me Wrong and Brass in Pocket. To boot, the punk has been joining the gossamer fairy onstage to perform Stop Draggin’My Heart Around, Nicks’ 1981 duet with Tom Petty.
