Stevie Nicks enchants Lehigh Valley crowd with songs from the vault (PHOTOS)

Singer-songwriter Stevie Nicks delighted fans with songs from deep within her catalog during a show Saturday at Sands Bethlehem Event Center in Bethlehem.

Best known for both her work with Fleetwood Mac as well as her highly-successful solo career, Nicks' 24 Karat Gold Tour included songs that either hadn't been performed in decades -- or ever.

The Pretenders, featuring Chrissie Hynde, opened the show and thrilled the crowd with familiar songs like "Message of Love" and "I'll Stand By You."

A highlight of the show came as Stevie Nicks was joined onstage by Hynde as the duo performed the 1981 hit "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around," with Hynde singing the parts originally performed by Tom Petty.

The next stop on the tour is Sunday night at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.

Does anyone else think it was maybe a little strategic to test out no dreams in this smaller venue.

Another brave decision by stevie. And I'm assuming her story to Gypsy is going to be equivalent in length to the entire Outside the Rain song so time wise it's an even exchange :laugh:

Ah, I'm going to be that person she worried about, going "what? How dare she drop my favorite song??":p

I'm upset about her dropping Outside the Rain though. I love that song! Surprised she did Gypsy in place of Dreams... Bold move to drop one of her biggest hits!

I'm truly impressed that Stevie is willing to change up the setlist as she warned before the tour started. What else might be switched out for something unexpected?

Valiantly hoping New Orleans will be dropped, but Stevie seems to love that one so I guess that's unlikely.:rolleyes:

Some more "title tracks" as Stevie called them would be so cool... Rock A Little, Trouble in Shangri-La... The possibilities! I know she mentioned that she'd like to play Rooms on Fire, which would be great to see...

Does anyone want me to take the time to split the audio recording I made into individual files and upload them? Maybe someone can remaster them. Like I'm not kidding I'd rate it a D at best...

I am curious to see what songs she does tonight in Philly I will let you all know!

I was never a fan of New Orleans, however hearing it played live last night was amazing. It sounds great live. And holy **** did she get into it when she did Moonlight.

I think anything's good. It'd be great if someone could edit it a bit as you said though.

Ok I will try to do this tomorrow at work, as I will be leaving for Philly soon. I'll start a new thread when I do get to post it.

I will try to record the entire show on my phone tonight and use my dad's phone for picture taking. Maybe my phone will record better.

I, too, wish she would have replaced Outside the Rain and Dreams with one of her solo hits, and Rooms on Fire would have been the obvious and best choice. But at least she did replace them, which is awesome!

Neal 11-20-2016 03:53 PM

While I love me some "Gypsy", losing 2 for 1 doesn't seem like a great trade-off. Oh well...

Still holding out hope that "Rooms On Fire" makes its way to the set by the time she reaches California! :thumbsup:

I suppose we'll find out tonight if she made a permanent change, or just decided to throw in something different in Bethlehem.

StreetAngel86 11-20-2016 05:01 PM

Finally. :)

This just shows that there is always hope.

I'm sooo glad to hear GYPSY return to the solo set. It's been a long wait - since 1986! (and then, only for a brief time).

It's a shorter version without the solo at the end. But it still sounds great. I'm glad she's mixing things up. It's the "Why In the F*ck Not Tour"! :laugh:
