![]() Stevie Nicks is an artist that has truly perfected her craft. No matter where it was written, it’s a fantastic song, and a perfect way to end the evening. She mentioned that she was in Aspen Colorado when she wrote it, but she wished she had written it here in Salt Lake City because she actually lived her, and she was only visiting Aspen. She closed the show with her beautiful song “Landslide”. Then she iconically spun around in them, getting a cheer from the audience every time. Along with giving us a string of hits, she brought back some of her classic shawls. And of course, the crowd roared in approval of the band’s protest. She proceeded to tell us that her band gasped and said no way. After she finished singing “Rhiannon”, Stevie told us that she suggested maybe leaving that one of the setlist this tour. Even when touring solo, she knew she’d have to play some of her biggest Fleetwood Mac hits. Of course, even with the crowd enjoying the stories, and the lost songs, Stevie Nicks understands that we were there to hear her hits. The crowd went crazy when she started this song and went even crazier when Chrissie Hynde walked back on stage to perform the duet with her. They ended up recording “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around”, and it became one of her biggest solo hits. A highlight for me was when she was starting her solo career she was offered a song by Tom Petty. She mentioned that by the end of the tour she might not even have a band, she’d just be up there telling stories. Later in the show, she jokingly recognized during one point in the show that she was telling a lot of stories. She mentioned that her friend from that time was in attendance and that she has always had fond memories of living here.īesides the two drunk dudes who were dragged to the concert by their girlfriends, the rest of the audience seemed to really enjoy the stories Stevie told. This was something I didn’t know, and something that of course delighted the local audience. Stevie mentioned that she had actually lived in Salt Lake City while she was in 7-9th grade. The two-hour fifteen-minute show seemed to fly by for me. I think it put the crowd in the right frame of mind, and they reacted accordingly. I thought it was a good idea to tell the audience up front that we were going to be hearing songs we probably didn’t know, but it should be fun anyway. She mentioned that she’d be explaining how the songs came to be, why she released them when she did, and why she chose them for tonight’s show. Stevie told us early on in the concert that she would be playing what she called “New, old songs” from her “Gothic trunk of lost songs”. You know when VH-1 and MTV actually played music. ![]() The best way I can describe it is it was like that old VH-1 show “Storytellers”. Now, this show was not like a typical concert. But of course, this was just the beginning. I totally felt like I was at a Pretenders concert. There was actually a moment that I forgot that this was the opening band. They had the entire floor of the arena as well as many areas of the lower bowl on their feet, singing and clapping along. Chrissie Hynde’s voice was in peak form as she belted out songs like, “I’ll Stand By You”, and “Brass in Pocket”. Headliners in their own right, they flew through their almost hour long set, blending hit songs with some newer numbers. And to no surprise, she did not disappoint.įirst, Rock n Roll Hall of Famers, The Pretenders were Stevie’s support act. So I was excited when I saw that Stevie Nicks was coming to Vivint Smart Home Arena. It’s not every week that one of the biggest icons in Rock n Roll visits Utah.
