The crowd in unison held their cameras up to capture the moment for posterity, and from above, it looked like fireflies had descended. She relied on just a piano and acoustic guitar for the closer, the fittingly reflective and melodious Landslide. It would be at least another hour before Nicks and her eight-piece band answered that request, with the wild, one-two punch of Gold Dust Woman and the still-electrifying Edge of Seventeen, followed by Rhiannon in the encore. “Come on Stevie, play some normal songs,” she screamed. At least one person grew restless in her seat. An emphatic fan nearby, in a fit of positive reinforcement, was moved to reply: “YES!”Īfter her rollicking Tom Petty collaboration Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around (with Hynde in the place of Petty) and Fleetwood Mac’s classic Gypsy, Nicks settled into a groove of less familiar but personal tracks.

Lord knows what would have happened if she’d been toting a camera phone.Ĭlosing with Hynde’s signature final cry from Brass in Pocket, the Pretenders exited, allowing the stage to be reset in the style of a seance, complete with teardrop light globes and rustic chandeliers.
