Stevie Nicks Reigns Supreme at Grand Casino Arena Show
The 77-year-old songstress brought her signature charm and charisma to the sold-out crowd of over 14,000 fans, deftly navigating the demands of a physically demanding performance. Despite an injury that forced her to postpone several shows this summer, including a St. Paul stop, Nicks showed no signs of slowing down.
Her show was a testament to her enduring appeal, as she effortlessly commanded the stage with a larger-than-life presence that has captivated audiences for over five decades. Her Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction – twice over, no less – is a well-deserved recognition of her status as one of the most iconic figures in rock music.
Nicks' approach to performing is refreshingly straightforward: she does what brings her joy. It shows in her infectious enthusiasm, which was on full display as she regaled fans with stories about her songs and life. Between solo hits and Fleetwood Mac classics, Nicks effortlessly transitioned between performances, showcasing her remarkable vocal range.
The setlist featured a mix of fan favorites and deeper cuts, including the Buddy Holly cover "Not Fade Away," which marked a live debut for this tour. A medley of "Wild Heart" and "Bella Donna" brought the crowd to its feet, while a haunting rendition of Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" left many in awe.
A highlight came when Nicks employed backup singers to amplify certain numbers, effectively showcasing her versatility as an artist. However, some of the evening's highlights were marred by missteps – a muddied take on Prince's "Stand Back," for instance, seemed like a misguided choice.
In the face of speculation about Nicks' age and health, she dealt with rumors head-on during the show's finale. With a steely resolve, she told fans to look forward to her next performance, which was reassuringly clear: this is far from Stevie Nicks' last hurrah.

! I mean, the girl's got more energy than most people half her age, and that's not even counting her infectious enthusiasm - she totally commanded that crowd with her signature charm 
. I loved how she seamlessly transitioned between solo hits and Fleetwood Mac classics, her vocals were insane! 
But yeah, some of those Prince covers didn't quite land... anyway, Stevie's got this: she's all about doing what makes her happy and it shows in every performance 
. Can we talk about how iconic she is? Two Rock Hall inductions is crazy! 
! it's so inspiring to see someone who's been doin this for so long, yet still got that spark 
. her show was pure magic, from the moment she stepped on stage till the very end 
. the way she commanded the crowd was like nothin else i've seen before... it was like she owned the place 
! and can we talk about those backup singers for a sec? game changin' move 
! only thing that had me thinkin "hmm" was that muddied prince cover 
, but overall, stevie's still got it 
.
, yeah she's had an injury but she still killed it on stage 
, but i mean she's got the energy & charisma down pat 
, and that finale where she basically said "don't worry about me, i'm still got this" 
was pretty dope... Nicks is def still reigning supreme 
, like it felt forced and not really her style, you know? On the other hand, when she got those backup singers on stage, it was totally fire 
still can't deny though how captivating she was on stage, like she's got this magic spark that just doesn't fade 
. I love how she doesn't try to be anything she's not – if a song isn't feeling it, she moves on 
. The crowd was totally entranced by her stories too – we were all hanging on every word 
.
. Don't get me wrong, I love a good medley as much as the next person, but when it starts feeling like just an excuse for her to wear all those sparkly outfits again... 
.
?
she's like a rock legend for real, with 2 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductions under her belt... talk about a career goal achieved 
that's over 1,000 shows in 10 years... mind blown 
but hey, who am i to judge? 
she's one of the best-selling artists of all time - over 140 million records sold worldwide... WILD HEART, baby! 
All hail the Queen of Rock! 
I loved how she shared stories about her songs, like we're all in on this rockstar secret 
The crowd was totally with her, singing along to every word 
It's amazing to see artists like Stevie Nicks who are unapologetically themselves, even if that means facing speculation or criticism. Let's give it up for this rock legend - she's still got it, and we're so lucky to have her music 
! It's crazy to think she's been doing this for like, forever 
. I do think they messed up one of Prince's covers (I get it, not a fan), but overall, she killed it 
! The woman is still bringing it, even after all these years 
The setlist was perfect, everything from solo hits to Fleetwood Mac classics... it was a masterclass in rock 'n' roll. I'm so glad she's not slowing down anytime soon - this woman is still the queen of rock music 
. It's like she's saying "age is just a number" – all about the music and joy! We could all learn from her approach to life: do what makes you happy, and don't worry about what others think 
She still got it, girl! But honestly, what I loved most was the vibe of the whole show. It felt like a celebration of music and life, not just Stevie Nicks' career
