S
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 C a e s a r s
Pa l ac e 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 greatest 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 “Beautiful 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 living rock icons (even inspiring New York’s annual Night of a Thousand Stevies party at the legendary Jackie 60 nightclub/cabaret), and is a
phenomenon well worth experiencing live.
A week after Stevie Nicks wraps up at
Caesars Palace, 22-time Grammy Award winner
Stevie Wonder will take the stage at the Man dalay Events Center for a one-night-only benefit concert as the headliner of Tiger Jam VIII,
Tiger Wood s’ eighth annual fundraiser sponsored by the SBC family of companies.
It wouldn’t be extreme to call Wonder a
bona fide musical genius, as his music has
shaped rock, pop, soul, R&B and funk. Songs
like “Superstition,” “Another Star,” “My Cherie
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 continue to serve as vital inspiration to generations
of musicians to this day. —Michael Shulman
