Stevie Nicks 3Arena 3rd July 2024

I really enjoyed the show. I’m not a Fleetwood Mac fan but I do like Stevie’s solo material and her voice is unique. Sound was perfect in Block F. I could have done without the storytelling but she is an icon and has earned the right to deliver the show she wants. Although I followed the setlist in the U.S. and knew pretty much what to expect, however I am amazed she doesn’t do “Rooms on Fire” live. Incredible song.

Manchester and Glasgow postponed, must be something in the water in Dublin

I thought she was limping on her left leg at the Dublin gig. I just put it down to aches & pains that come with age

not a Stevie Nicks fan but I’d be raging if I’d paid that amount of cash to see an artist perform 14 songs and just waffle making small talk for the remainder of their time on stage. Beyond disrespectful.

If she has been having health / mobility issues…. For a segment of the show, sit down.

If her voice isn’t up to it, she should realise and quit touring.

Stones, a bunch of lads in their 80’s… 20 song set list, two hour set. A bit of BSing by Jagger at certain stages to give them a break…..

Agreed, its a total cash grab, 14 songs is just laughable.

Lindsey Buckingham only charged 67 euro for his show in Dublin, albeit it was cancelled, that would have been 20 songs.

Unfortunately Waddy has a dark past 🙈

You think that the leg surgery is made up??

I wonder if the disappointment in the band by some is because we have heard many of these songs at a Fleetwood Mac gig and done far better. Stevie will always sound far better beside Lindsey

It was a good gig for what it was. Overpriced but good. She still has a pretty good voice. She sang live and unlike Don Henley she doesn't use pitch correction of auto tune. Unlike Don Henley she doesn't mime to a pre recorded live track

That's a very fair take and similarly I think Lindsey Buckingham has the somewhat similar issues when he plays solo that it's not quite Fleetwood Mac when he plays in the those songs, no matter how good he plays and how incredible his guitar work is. I never knew that about Don Henley, every day is an education.

Did you learn the word "eulogise" today?

I didn't "eulogise" the gig at all based on how long she was out there, my post simply pointed out that an arbitrary "she played 14 songs" means fűck all in isolation outside of demonstrating that people can count. I originally said "Over two hours of an incredible show" but it was you who brought up that the Stones played for 2 hours as a comparative point for whether it was value for money so hey, if how long they play for doesn't matter, maybe don't bring it up yourself. A pub singer might play 30 songs in a night , it's hardly a better performance purely because they played twice as many songs. I didn't bring any of these irrelevant metrics to the table on judging value for money. The "incredible show" was what made it value for money for me.

And again, "eulogise" about what she said? I said I found her "quite interesting", I hardly claimed it was MLK's I Have a Dream speech.

If someone was there and didn't like the show, found it short, thought the sound was crap, didn't think it was value for money or whatever, that's cool and a very valid opinion. But the opinion of someone who wasn't there and judges it based on two isolated metrics... Might as well be reviewing a film from its imdb page.
