Greetings to Stevie and all loyal fans. Firstly I must say 'Stevie' ; to quote one of your own -You are truly 'Magic - on - Stage' .... as magic as it gets ..... IT WAS!!!!!! Any one who was there would have to agree. You and your entire band totally ROCKED Newcastle and I could feel every beat throughout my entire soul. This occasion was my very first 'Live' encounter with Stevie and her band. I appreciate the dedication each member has for the other and the recognition that Stevie shows to each Member on stage. She has a Great Band who certainly know how to entertain. I have been enjoying Stevies' Music for many Years and when I heard Fleetwood Mac were touring a little while back I was hoping to go, I missed that tour and I can say after attending The Gold Dust Tour I feel as though I didn't miss a thing......I believe she brings a little fleetwood with her and it shines. I took a friend of mine along with me and I could not believe it when she said she did not know who Stevie Nicks was. She does now .. and Loves her along with the rest of us. Thank you Stevie for the beautiful memories, also for thinking of your fans in Australia, and thank you for inviting us to sing 'Beautiful Child' with you. A wonderful experience to have shared a fleeting moment of your illustrious career and I sincerely hope that you had a wonderful time in Newcastle...I know I enjoyed the pleasure of your company .. may you be forever in the knowledge that your music is treasured by many and that it has been one of the nicest companions through the years .. The best thing about the entire night was to see that smile on everyones face knowing above all that the Lady on the Stage was in fact Stevie Nicks...the Reigning Queen of Rock 'n' Roll.

What an amazing experience. Front row at the NEC for an absolutely mind blowing performance. Vanessa Carlton was magnificent. She is such a gorgeous performer. Loved her songs "White Houses" and "Put Your Hands on Me." Now for Stevie. In person she is absolutely gorgeous. Her voice, spectacular. Her stage prescence, 2nd to none and what a fantastic band. I recieved a lovely smile from Lori which was a fantastic moment. Stevie's performance was perfect. HAEWAFY and Beauty and the Beast were beautiful. Rhiannon and Gold Dust Woman were spectacular. Fall From Grace and Stand Back absolutely rocked and were my favourite performances in the set. Then came Edge of Seventeen and the long walk along the front of the stage. I was in heaven when I got to give Stevie a white rose (thank you Vicky) and a drawing I did of the Bella Donna cover. The look on Stevie's face when I gave her the drawing was priceless. A moment I will treasure forever. Big thank you to Brett who got me right up to the front of the stage. A thrilling night full of awesome energy. It was amazing to be in the company of so many Stevie die hards such as myself. Thank you Stevie. I will treasure these memories forever. Please come back soon.

I just got home from the Newcastle show.....Amazing absolutly Amazing. My tickets were not so hot, NEVER leave it up to anyone else to get your tickets!!!! I had to bolt past quite a few security guards to get to the stage really worth it thou. I loved the rocked up versions of the songs...heres hoping for a DVD of the show and for Stevie to come back to OZ sooner rather than later!!!

It was the first time i had seen Stevie live (as i am much to young (21)) but what a great show. Stevie was great onstage lots of energy which the audience could feel, From what i can understand she did her usual setlist she did just about all my favorites so i was happy. Loved hearing Led Zeppelin's "Rock And Roll" Stevie did a great version Highlights ftom the show were Landslide and Beauty And The Beast A great night out, and one of my favorite concerts.

Well...Where to start... Ive been a long time fan of Fleetwood Mac, and although I have a few Stevie Nicks solo singles, I have never bought a solo album of hers...After tonight (Friday the 24th of February, 2006) all that is going to change!!! Stevie Nicks put on a sizzling show that blew everyone away. Every song was sung so brilliantly that its hard to believe that this woman has been around in the spotlight since the mid 1970's. And talk about beautiful!!! Id love to be her beast any day, and Im sure all those men at her show would agree with me. Rhiannon live is an experience I will never forget, Waddy Watchel was fantastic on guitar, especially during this song and Led Zeppelins Rock And Roll. Landslide was so beautiful I felt a lump in my throat as tears came to my eyes. Being a 'manly man' I tried to hide my tears, but I think I failed. Lyn (the woman Stevie dedicated the song to) Im sure wouldve been in heaven tonight. Stop Draggin My Heart Around was dont to perfection. Everyone in the Newcastle Entertainment Center rocked out to this song. Dreams was so powerful, and so early in the set, that it took me by suprise. Now, like Ive already said, I was no Stevie Nicks solo fan until tonight, so many of the songs I didnt know, or only vaguely knew...But even these were so beautiful or so well done that she had me wishing I knew them better...I intend to remedy this situation by getting every single Stevie Nicks album I can and listen to them over and over again. My Mother, whom I took to the show because my girlfriend was feeling ill, kept saying that Stevie is so beautiful, and I have to agree... I fell in love tonight, our affair was short, she was on stage and I was in the 40th row (I had a good view and fairly close), she moved me, she rocked me, she rolled me, and then, too soon (any time wouldve been too soon), it was over. I can honestly say that tonight, I saw a legend perform. Those who were at the Newcastle Entertainment Center on Friday, February 24th 2006 thank you Miss Nicks.
