Anyone else look at Stevie's career in this way???
In my own personal world of "Stevie fandom", I've always looked at her career in two very different phases ~ pre "The Dance" and post "The Dance".
She had hit all the highs and lows, career wise, starting with Buckingham Nicks in 1973 and then the Fleetwood Mac phenomenon, the solo career, and ending with the stinker that is "Street Angel" in 1993. But even before that album, her popularity from 1990 til 1997 had majorly taken a nose dive.
Then, four years after SA, Fleetwood Mac's reunion concert puts both the band AND Stevie's solo career back on the map.
Boxed sets, solo albums, live albums, dvd's, documentaries, etc followed up until this moment of time. Her popularity has pretty much grown since then (17 years since "The Dance") with every generation. I feel that it's also post "The Dance" where she has started to cement her place in history as a Rock N Roll Icon/Legend...whereas before "The Dance", nobody really cared anymore.
Anybody else feel this way? Separating Stevie's career in these two phases?
