Stevie Nicks : Indianapolis, Deer Creek
(June 6, 1998)

By Teresa Henson

Stevie Nicks is indeed a phenomenon. The impending storm clouds that had been threatening all afternoon cleared and by the time our Queen hit the stage the sky was starlit with an almost full moon that topped the magickal evening we were about to experience. A beautiful multi-colored stained glass spiderweb backdrop was the centerpiece of an elegantly appointed stage that also included dusky rose, mauve and ivory draperies. And of course the obligatory chiffon tied to and streaming from Stevie's microphone finished the absolute perfection of decoration. From the reading of the meaning of Enchanted to the last chords of "Has Anyone Ever Written...", Stevie wrapped us up in her life and asked us to find our own meanings and answers in the eloquent lyrics she has written over the years. Ever gracious and loving to her fans, she shared with us some of the more intimate meanings behind songs in the acoustic set. It was like listening to an old friend tell you of her personal past. And when it came to the rockers you ask? Well, let's just say the lady can still kick up her platforms. Her voice is in fine form-the best I've heard in years. She hits the high notes with confidence, and isn't afraid to get down and dirty at the end of the classic "Edge of Seventeen" with her throaty growl-howl. Oh, and you will cry. She has the innate ability to evoke such deep emotion that you can't help not to. She is beautiful, ethereal and otherworldly. She is the Timeless Face. She will Enchant you.
