Stevie Nicks: 1989-10-06 Houston, TX (FLAC_SB/FM_1 CD)

Here's another excellent Stevie Nicks show from my hometown of Houston.  If I remember correctly, this is one of the more rare Nicks tours as far as recordings go.  This was her tour for the album The Other Side of The Mirror.  I know I have a DVD of this tour too but I need to rebuild it and add at least chapters because it came without any.

I'm surprised I didn't go to this show back in 1989.  I believe I recall the commercials for this tour, but then again it could have been the 1986 tour I'm thinking of too.  Either way, I know I didn't go because (a) I'd remember it and (b) I still have never seen Stevie Nicks live.  I'd love to see her but the ticket prices for her and for Fleetwood Mac too are through the roof.

Fleetwood Mac is touring right now in 2014 and I'd love to get a chance to see and record their show.  I've seen a number of shows surfacing lately but have not got any from the 2014 tour yet.  To be honest, i was a little disappointed by their last tour in 2012 I believe.  Lindsay Buckingham, while starting out strong in the 2012 shows I got, seemed to start playing in a very non Fleetwood Mac sounding style in the shows.  His old style of excellent rock and roll, as in the 1975 - 1979 era of the band, seems lost in the past in most shows today.  And that's too bad because this is a talented band that has made some excellent music over the years.

I guess I'll get off of Fleetwood Mac and finish up with posting this Stevie Nicks show.  If you are a fan of Nicks you will like this show because both the recording and her voice sound excellent.  Unlike a few shows in previous years, she seems very on track and in control over her performance and what she says during it.  She sounds undeniably Stevie Nicks!

I hope you enjoy the show...

Stevie Nicks: 1986-09-06 Weedsport, NY (FLAC_SB/FM_1 CD)

I've been skipping a lot of other artists lately and primarily just uploading Led Zeppelin shows.  I'm not saying that is a bad thing.  I just think it's time I branch out again and start adding some more music from artists I also like.  Besides, I don't think Led Zeppelin was playing anywhere "X amount of years ago today" in October anyhow :-)

This is an excellent sounding Stevie Nicks partial concert broadcast over FM radio a number of years back.  Peter Frampton is featured on the track "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" as a backup singer and guitarist.

I cannot say without a doubt this is a lossless source recording right now.  It tests lossy (MPEG) with TLH.  But TLH is notorious for not giving correct readings on FM radio broadcasted shows too.  With the amount of work the original sharing party put into this show, I have a good feeling it is lossless and not lossy.  But again, I cannot be for sure and especially without a frequency analysis or spectral analysis on the audio tracks.  I'm going ahead and uploading the show in the FLAC format like I got it.  If I'm able to determine it is lossy in the future I will correct this post.

Stevie Nicks sounds really great vocally in this show and the mix is very sharp and clean too in the recording.  The only change I noticed listening earlier was the volume drop during the very last track "Rhiannon".  It can still be heard fine.  It just sounds like the receiver was turned down or the broadcast volume was lowered a little as the song gets moving.  

I was comparing a few other Nicks shows that were also FM broadcasts a little earlier and this was one of the top ones in sound and clarity I do believe.  At least in the 5 different FM broadcast I was looking at this was the case as I checked them before transferring them to the master hard drive with the rest of the Stevie Nicks shows are stored.

I'm having problems sleeping tonight so I may upload another Stevie Nicks show or two (or some other artist).  If you have an artist you haven't seen here and you'd like too, just leave a comment in the most recent post and I'll upload something from them if I have them.  And as long as they aren't something I hate (like rap or hip hop), I'll even try and find a recording of the artist if i don't have then and if you let me know what you'd like to hear in a comment.  So let me know!

I hope you enjoy the show...
