STORYTELLERS/BEHIND THE MUSIC REVIEW

REVIEWED BY -WILDHEART

VH1 just premiered today, two new Stevie Nicks specials, tonight, November 1st.
and are being repeated throughout the month

"Stevie Nicks, Behind the Music,"
& "Stevie Nicks, Storytellers"

The "Behind the music" special is a mini bio on Stevie's life. It was very interesting ,
as it pulled NO punches, revealing everything from secret love affairs, to drug abuse,
and her weight problems. Stevie,offered very candid, insightful stories, and answers to
questions, and it truly shows how strong she is, and how important her music is to her,
and her fans.

It was a absolute treat. It also features Lory Perry-Nicks, Sharon Celani, Mick
Fleetwood, Jimmy Iovine, Lindsey Buckingham and others. In this special, she is declared, still,the "Reigning Queen of Rock & Roll"!!!!!

The second special, "Storytellers",is basically a live concert, in a small, intimate
setting,where Stevie explains what each song is about.. She even answers questions from the audience,and plays piano on "Rhiannon"....

The set was gorgeous, with star-like lights and candles burning...She had the same band that played for her on the "Enchanted" tour, and they sounded very tight.

Her voice in excellent form, and looking just radiant, it truly was a grand showcase for her! Lots of twirling too! "Stand Back" was an extra special treat,as she told the story of Prince, and really went wild during the performance!

Also in the set were,"Dreams", sans the beginning lyrics, "After the glitter fades", "Landslide", Edge of 17",which she introduced with a touching story about the death of John Lennon, and her uncle...and the set closed with "Has anyone ever written anything for you"....a truly fabulous concert, and a truly MaGiCaL night on VH1...

These specials will be repeated during the month of November, so try and catch them...
