Stevie Nicks 3Arena 3rd July 2024

They released a a load of tickets for this yesterday.

So called production tickets, but in reality all the tickets they had dynamically jacked up to over 300 euro and couldnt sell.

So excited for tomorrow's gig. She's a true musical icon and will be a joy to see her live (solo).

I bought 2 a few weeks ago with charges and all that nonsense they were about 180 each.

They were sitting at over 300 each for ages I wasn't going near them at that price.

Even what I paid I'm questioning my sanity since I'm on the hook for price of both but hopefully will be a good gig.

Does she perform anything she wants from Fleetwood Mac or is she limited in what she's allowed sing?

14 songs, over 300 euro per ticket, thats 20 euro a song.

I thought the Liam Gallagher gig in the Olympia was bad, 95 euro for an hour but this is something else.

Stevie has the mobility of a coat stand these days too.

Yeah she's 76 but I've seen Diana Ross and Rod Stewart in the last while and both were good shows. The price is bonkers though, it's a real one off treat

I don't know how many sold at 300 though, I certainly want biting at that price

That was absolutely awesome. Over two hours of an incredible show. Her voice is still phenomenal

Worth every cent.

I enjoyed them and found some of them quite interesting, she's great to listen to even if the odd one did go on or were disjointed. I could see how they might drive someone mad though 😄

Couldn't agree more on the voice, so powerful and wonderful to hear live.

Yeah it was very irritating alright. I think one story had five or six names in the space of two minutes and you're right that the crowd cheered every time as if they were behind the curtain.

Glad you enjoyed it! Super show.

I didn't like the band myself. Couldn't put my finger on why I didn't like them. Apart from the acoustic song I felt they didn't complement her voice or something. Still no sure what I felt was not quite right.

The important thing is that her voice didn't disappoint

Don't really understand the complaints about the band, where I was sitting the sound was spot on. I always use musicians' ear plugs at gigs so I had a nice balance of frequencies. The band were tight and professional, almost unnoticeable, and that's the point.

True, Waddy the lead guitarist went on a bit but you could tell that was a method of giving Stevie some breaks. Similar to the stories - she performed for two hours fifteen minutes; at her age she deserves a bit of a chance to catch her breath.

I didn't mind the stories - at one point I genuinely believed Don Henley was going to walk out - when you think about the length of time she's been in the business and the people she's worked with, I would imagine she has some really amazing stories to tell!

Landslide at the end with the images of Christine McVie was beautiful and moving. Crowd around me were very well behaved, no talkers, no constant moving for drinks. Just singing along and good vibes.

Only negative was the merch - went out about a third of the way through the show to get a t-shirt and nearly everything was gone! Went home empty handed.

Saw that musical a few times in New York. It's brilliant and you're right, the building does indeed shake with the band. Especially during Thriller

I didn't see any.

Her voice is absolutely not 100%.

Not compared to 74, 77, 79, 82, 87, even 97.

It was pretty bad on the Say You Will album recording in '03, and scratchy on the tour for that record, but at least she could share vocal duty with Lindsey Buckingham.

Its very old, very strained, and never particularly regained her timbre after the self-inflicted 80s damage.

I couldn't see any remote justification for the pricing of her gigs this week, based on this and many other factors common to live music in Ireland.
