I move that we Nessaholics set aside a special 'Stevie Nicks' day!
.. well, I don't have the power to make a Stevie Nicks Day, but I do have the power to make a thread for her :wink:.
Of course we all are grateful to Stevie for taking Vanessa on tour with her and exposing her to a whole new audience, but I think anyone who goes to see V but stays for Stevie will be pretty impressed.
I had no intention of staying for Stevie after Vanessa's set, but I did and her set really blew me away. I was very, very impressed. She has a great stage presence, and really seemed like she was having fun up there.
During one of her songs, Stevie went the entire length of the stage shaking hands and talking to the people in the first few rows while her band played behind her. I thought that was pretty classy and very cool.
Even without knowing most of the songs or lyrics, it was still an extremely enjoyable performance. Her band was awesome, and the video board choreography was very impressive. I'm sure for a fan of Stevie and her music, the show I went to would have been the perfect show.
And just to wrap this up and bring it back to a Vanessa perspective, I think being on tour with Nicks will help V grow as an artist, and will challenge her to give an A+ performance every night because she's opening for someone who is going to bring their A+ performance every night.
