Good review and picture here: http://www.mcall.com/entertainment/l...119-story.html

One more Gypsy clip and a beautiful picture of the flower crown on my blog.

Just got home from the Bethlehem show. Gypsy was in fact added, Outside the Raid and Dreams was dropped. She signed a BN album for a fan standing at the front of the stage.

I recorded audio of the show, however the recorder I used is apparently cheap because it sounds awful. A lot of loud bass and clipping. Unless someone is really good at remastering audio on here, I don't know if it's even worth posting.

On a brighter note, this show was AMAZING.

I am going to the Philadelphia show tomorrow night. While driving there, I will try to post a bit of a detailed review of tonight's show.

Interesting change. I sensed a change was coming to the set list and I was right. I guess Gypsy is a comparable FM hit to Dreams so it's a fair trade. I would rather she put in another song from 24K gold since Gypsy was played at every FM show on their last tour but it's all good. Ditching Dreams and Landslide in the same show is quite bold nonetheless. Tonight cannot come soon enough!!

Oh wow, so cool and unpredictable.
First time since 1983 she has done Gypsy solo. Boy she just did this song for the endless On with the show tour. Surprised she still wants to do it. But I would take it over Dreams anyday.
Way to go!

I am shocked!!!

She did say she might do this, but I didn't believe it. I hated that she dropped Annabel Lee. But now we got Gypsy and for the first time ever a concert without Dreams. Oh my!!!

Though no one believes me in the FM community, when I saw her in Philadelphia on the RAL Tour, she performed an extended version of Gypsy and for the last 5 minutes of the song walked along the edge of the stage collecting gifts from the fans and then did it again later in the show for the Edge walk.

I believe you! That must have been terribly cool to witness. I so wish I could have been there.

OMG, SHE DROPPED DREAMS???

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).

jmn3 · #10 11-20-2016, 11:08 AM

No Dreams!? Has this happened at any full length show (solo or with the Mac) since 1977?

I'm shocked!

Hawkeye · #11 11-20-2016, 11:19 AM

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

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"!

Wow now that must have been off the chain. I would love to hear it in her RAL raspy fried voice

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.

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

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.

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...
