COLUMBIA, Md. Sept. 20 - There was no holding Stevie Nicks back at Merriweather Post Pavilion Wednesday, nearly two months after her first Washington-area show and just over a week after the twin tragedies in New York and Washington. Nicks took her fans on a journey through her biggest Fleetwood Mac and solo hits and five songs from Trouble in Shangri-la, her first solo album in seven years. While Nicks sang like someone who should have taken a longer break at the July 28 show in Bristow, Va., she put on one of her strongest performances on the tour, making it clear from the first words of "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" that she wasn't holding anything back. The third song in the set, "Dreams," sounded as fresh as it did when the Rumours record first hit the stores in 1977. "Gold Dust Woman" showed Nicks in fine form, as she twirled during the song's first bridge and showed some of the fire that marked the version on The Dance video. Unlike the Nissan show but like so many prior shows, "Stand Back" was the energy song it has almost always been. Nicks twirled, gave a high leg kick, and danced like she hadn't done in a while. But the highlight of the show was a fierce version of the hard rocker "Fall From Grace," which saw Nicks conjure up - if not exceed - the intensity of "Rhiannon" from the 1970s. The new song, the last of the five new songs, was the first of a procession of three edgy rockers, with Nicks's signature "Edge of Seventeen" being the middle song in the trio. The third song, Nicks's cover of the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers tune "I Need to Know," again showed Nicks completely outdoing her friend and the inspiration behind much of the album. Calling all five Trouble in Shangri-la songs in the set "new" may be a misnomer, as longtime fans have heard demo versions of "Planets of the Universe" and "Sorcerer," since the songs were written in the 1970s, long before their appearance on any of Nicks's albums. In fact, many in the crowd started rhythmic applause to the beginning of "Sorcerer." Several fans called the appearance of Nicks's dogs, Yorkshire terriers named Sara Belladonna and Sulamyth, another highlight of the show as Nicks introduced them to the crowd, which was totally under Nicks's spell by the show's end. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2001 01:01:27 EDT From: EAO77@aol.com Subject: [sheryl-crew] Sheryl on Letterman I had a feeling that Sheryl might appear on Letterman so I just checked cbs.com and sure enough she will be on the show tomorrow (Friday). Something to look forward to in this difficult and somber time. She is going to be a busy lady - taping Letterman around 5pm (I think) and then doing the telethon live at 9pm. What a gal!! Sheryl's always willing to step up and do what she can. (i.e., the red cross message) I think that's one of the reason's we're all such big fans! I hope you all have a peaceful weekend!
