Get the DVD or Blu-ray video instead
I fell in love with Stevie Nicks' music when I first heard her voice on Rhiannon when it first played on the radio when I was 16 in 1975. I admit my bias. I like the classics. I look forward to some new songs as well and do not doubt her ability to produce some more. This CD is okay, but the video greatly enhances the experience, so I recommend getting the DVD or Blu-Ray and then ripping the sound if you want sound only for an MP3 player. The show was great and I found the picture show of Stevie and her father through the years that was the backdrop for "Landslide" very touching.

I really can't understand why people criticize her voice. It was strong and emotive for this concert. I think she has aged well. Good thing she quit the drugs several years ago. Now if we want to talk about old crows who can't sing anymore and should indeed go away, I would put Kevin Cronin at the very top of that list. Stevie, on the other hand, has plenty left to give.


A few good things in here - overall not up to par
I just saw Fleetwood Mac in concert last week and thought she sounded much better than in most of these songs. Stevie's voice has gone up and down over the last few years, and in most of the songs here her voice is not up to par. I think part of it may be the songs; she sounds best on songs that don't call for the high notes she just doesn't have any more (she is 60 after all). I am a big fan, but I really don't see how anyone would prefer any of these songs to the originals; at best there are a couple that are about as good. Also, this really doesn't sound like a live performance - no audience sounds, etc. Overall, a disappointment (I still love you, Stevie).
PS: I just listened to the DVD of this same concert and it sounds much better; not sure what the issue is. Some of the songs are different, but even the ones that are the same sound better. .


Great procuct at a Great Price!
So I just bought a new one ecause they are so resonibly priced! I have not recieved the new one yet. I hs this humidifier for three years and I didn't keep it clean! I have very hard water and it was upcrocroded up I couldn't get the filter oout to replace it. I give an A++ for ease of use and care!Plus, it wprks very well!!.


Live without all the noise.
I have several concerts in my memory and now I have it on CD. This Cd gives us all a chance to hear Stevie live. I like the fact that they deleted the audience noise as this gives us more of the music we want to hear. We also get a live version of "Sara"! This CD does not give you the whole concert though as in the Dvd. So if you like Stevie get both! .


finally a live album from Stevie
The CD is good - the set list never changes much in her live shows. I'm a long time Stevie and Fleetwood Mac fan. For soundstage sessions she has a hot band and the CD is growing on me overtime. I really only bought the CD for the cover of Crash, which I love, but am glad to have it to add to my collection. .
