Stevie Nicks brings her legendary voice to the Colosseum at Caesars Palace from May 10th to the 13th.

STEVIE NICKS AND OTHER WONDERS pring must be the season for Stevies on the Las Vegas Strip. First, the whirling dervish of rock herself, Stevie Nicks, takes over the fabulous Colosseum at Caesars PSalace for a four-night limited engagement beginning May 10th. According to Nicks, “It’s basically going to be favorite songs, which you don’t always get to do. This is actually a chance for me to go back all those many, many years.” Fans can expect to hear some of the great- est rock anthems and ballads of the ’70s and ’80s from the fringed one’s days with Fleet- wood Mac, including “Rhiannon,” “Landslide,“ “Dreams,” “Sara,” “Gypsy” and the epic “Beauti- ful Child.” Likewise, her numerous hits as one of the great solo artists of the last two decades, including “Edge of Seventeen,” “Rooms on Fire,“ “Talk to Me,” “Bombay Sapphire” and the infectious “Stand Back,” will likely be on the playlist. Stevie Nicks is one of America’s greatest liv- ing rock icons (even inspiring New York’s annu- al Night of a Thousand Stevies party at the leg- endary Jackie 60 nightclub/cabaret), and is a phenomenon well worth experiencing live.

Amour,” “Sir Duke,” “For Once in My Life” and “As” not only composed a good portion of the soundtrack to the ’70s and ’80s, but also con- tinue to serve as vital inspiration to generations of musicians to this day. —Michael Shulman KEVIN MAZUR/WIREIMAGE.COM May 2005 Vegas 37
