In Your Dreams
Stevie Nicks ~ I Can’t Wait (Iowa, 1986)
On this day in….1986:
The Rock A Little tour hits Iowa City, Stevie performs at the Carver-Hawkeye Arena. This was still early into the tour, and 4 months before the infamous Red Rocks video was filmed. Stevie sounds great (for Rock A Little standards) and looks great (from what I can see, but I just love the sparkly dress and her hair). I’ll never understand why Stevie claims this song was a disaster live, because it sounds great, very similair to the recorded version. I LOVE her dancing at 3:35 (and the “hand dance” from the video at 3:55!) with a perfectly timed hair-flip and shawl-flip! For the 3 people out there that love Rock A Little as much as I do, here’s the rest of the concert.
For alchemyofjewels, two pictures from the same photoshoot as you posted with a better view of that crocheted cape-thing. The bottom pic is from a 2007 concert where Stevie wears the same garment as in the Rock A Little-photoshoot. The cape is attached to the mantel but I don’t know if the hat is the first 2 pics is actually attached to the cape and mantel or if it’s a separate piece.
Stevie Nicks ~ Mirror, Mirror (Rock A Little demo)
This is the one that’s commonly referred to as “Mirror, Mirror #3”, the one with the lyrics “Well ask your mirror, I really wanted you….”. This is a great song and would’ve kicked ass on the Rock A Little album but instead was used as a Street Angel b-side.
And as all this comes to an end
So go the lilies of the valley
From this hour on
Brilliant is your danger
