Super sorry for all the panning/zooming. This one was very difficult to get past the TH-cam claims. It was too special not to share so I did what was necessary. Thanks for understanding! Incredible song💙🔥
Interesting story. Tom Petty’s wife at the time told Stevie she had met Tom when he was the age of seventeen. She had a southern accent and Stevie heard “age” as “edge”. Stevie asked her if she said edge. She replied that she said age, but her edge and age sounded the same. Stevie was enchanted and told her she was going to write a song called Edge of Seventeen one day. Tom Petty’s wife politely said ok. She was FLABBERGASTED a couple of years later when she heard the song and found out that Stevie had thanked her for the inspiration of the title. Stevie’s only had four or five female backup singers over the past 40 years. One of the two 1981 singers, Sharon Celani, is touring with Stevie in 2023. The other singer from the video, Lori Perry, was once married to Stevie’s brother Christopher and has a grown up daughter with him named Jessica Nicks, Stevie’s niece.
I was mesmerized by Stevie when I was a young boy in the 1970’s. I am in my late 50s now, and nothing has changed. She has a one of a kind voice, and anything she sings is gold in my book.
yea, when taylor swift breaks up with you, she sings about you later. when stevie nicks is over you , she makes you stay with the band and play guitar on her songs....
She’s had so many of under her spell for decades! She’s now 75 and still selling out arenas because of her legacy of performances like this! I’ll be seeing her for the 11th time and soo looking forward to it!
She put me under her beautiful spell from a tender age. She will continue to be the most gorgeous, talented human being I have ever known. I am so glad that she still touches us.
On one hand, I feel so fortunate to have grown up during the time that this music was first released. On the other hand, I'm so jealous of younger people like you who still have this huge treasure trove of music and performances that you still get to experience for the first time!
……..I saw it in your eyes SalvoG 😂❤ You have Stevie Nicks fever like the rest of us had growing up with her in the 70’s & 80’s ❤️Stevie will always be my SNOW Princess ❤️ ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
I love that this made you feel so much!! You are bang on with your perception! She is a special kind of artist woman and the band is exceptional! She’s an eternal legend!
All of this power from a little 5'2" woman that is so sweet and funny in real life. She's a dynamo!!! I'm so glad to see the appreciation in your face, genuinely enjoying her performance. Stevie is like a way of life ,a feeling within, that she taps into, like a frequency that strikes my inner core. Once you feel that thing that she stirs, you feel naked without her songs in your head and heart. It's hard to describe. I love her!!!
Our fathers even let us listen to her so they could watch her...lol When your Southern Baptist and your Dad sings in a gospel quartet, that says a whole lot!!
Such an amazing performance.. love the emotion and intensity coming out of her. And the ending is just so adorable, the way she says "Snoopy" is so cute.
I wanted to name my daughter Stevie back in 83..But the wife said we already had 2 Steves in the family..so i said how about Lindsey...bingo...she agreed..
I was mesmerised by Stevie as a little girl. My dad bought Belladonna and Wildheart on tape for my mum and she didn't like them-but I did and I still do. I think she's beautiful. She's a goddess. I still think she's the most beautiful woman on the planet!
My god, does she put on a show! I’ve seen her a total of 6 times. Every year that she’s around on my birthday (April), I ask my husband for 2 tickets to one of her concerts. 1 for me and 1 for my sister. Weather it’s her alone or with Fleetwood Mac. Once you hear her voice, you cannot forget her. I’ve been lucky to have listened to her since the early 80’s up until now.
Side note, "Destiny's Child" (the band "Beyonce" started out in) used that same guitar piece in their song "Bootilicous" and if memory serves right, Stevie appeared in the music video for it.
You have just witnessed the best Stevie Nicks live performance ever captured on video. She was in her absolute prime then, her voice never better. This was the final performance of her first solo album tour. Top-notch backup band, and singers, with Waddy Wachtel's amazing driving guitar work... She never looked or sounded any better than this....
She is 75 now and still sounds great,and still touring!She just did a show in Knoxville TN couple weeks ago,.The guitarist is Waddy Wachtel,and now 76 still touring with her,over 40 years now.This is music at it's absolute best!
Love all your reactions to Stevie and Fleetwood Mac! You can't help falling under her spell and loving her. I am 64 and she can still make me feel 17 ❤
FYI, that concert was Stevie's first "solo" concert (without Fleetwood Mac) and it was shown in it's entirety on cable (HBO or Showtime, I forget which).
Isn't she just so lovely and graceful? I hadn't realized you hadn't done this one yet. This is my favorite version by far out of all of them, that whole concert was fire. And I hope they remaster it and release it because I only have it on VHS 😂 Russ Kunkel (drummer) was working his a** off, that's a pretty relentless song.
What’s great about these classic artists is that they always have the best bands standing alongside and behind them. She tells the story of how she met one of her backup singers. Apparently one of her singers was performing at a bar in Hawaii in the early 80’s while Stevie was vacationing or living there. They struck up a conversation and Stevie told her she was looking for a piano. The next day the woman found a piano for her. She’s been a backup singer for Stevie ever since. I know I don’t have the story down 100% but it’s pretty accurate.
Yup - that's Waddy Wachtel on guitar and Russ Kunkel on drums. They've been behind so many great performances! I'm so spoiled to have seen Stevie and her bands so many times I've lost count.
As someone who was alive in the 70’s and grew up in the 80’s I was always aware of Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks but mostly chose to listen to hard rock and heavy metal. As highly regarded as Stevie Nicks is, I actually think she might be underrated. In my old age I find myself listening to more of her a FM, which sounds so timeless.
Another thing that always blows my mind is that when you see videos like this of her live performances she looks larger than life on that stage but in reality she is just 5’ 1” tall! First time I saw her live I was like 🤔 it just shows how she commands more than the space she inhabits!
I love your passionate response to every video you do. Your the best buddy. And of course stevie live cannot be compared to anyone else. Beautiful. Thankyou so much
I'm a HUGE FM, but especially Stevie Nicks fan. I adore her so much. I've been a fan since I was 13. That is 40 years! This is my all time favorite live performance of this song. This whole concert was complete pure magic! I've saw her in concert in 2015 and FM in 1988! Incredible!! She has had the basic same band and background singers for 40 years now
She did this same show when she was last here a few years ago in Australia. I felt like I'd been transported back in time. Truly amazing to experience considering I didn't exist back in the 80's. Stevie is indescribable. Just magic.
I was fortunate to see her twice. Once with Fleetwood Mac, in Dallas, TX 1978. And again, as a solo artist in Seattle around 1984. She was crazy beautiful & so charismatic!😏❤️🎙😎🤘
Thank you, my friend. As always your presence, and your sheer love of music, touches me deeply, and reminds me of how it's music like this that saved my life. Blessings. Keep on.
Love Stevie Nicks. Been lucky enough to see her live a couple of times and she never disappoints. This though was the solo track that just knocked me out as stand out excellent!
Im a huge Stevie fan from the beginning. Each of her songs holds its own special spot in my heart. This one is a stand out as i was coming of age, literally on the edge of seventeen when it came out and i was learning about love and life. i still find her absolutely captivating all these years later. And watching you, watching her was so awesome. I was like....dude, i so get it. its more than beauty..She just takes you ....especially with that side eye so intense....and that's alright. Check out No Spoken Word when you have a second. Think you'll like it. Cheers
Great review....and nice to see Mick Fleetwood on the drums & YES the backup vocals are on point! Rightly so, this is one of those songs that stands the test of time and is fire after all these years. Kudos for picking this performance....it is the best version I've seen!
SalvoG, I’d like to suggest to you to look up Edge Of Seventeen, live in Chicago (about 12 years ago). IT. IS. EPIC!!!!!!!!! Stevie has a small orchestra behind her and the music just builds and builds. It leaves me speechless. Who ever arranged it is a genius. So spectacular!!!!
Super sorry for all the panning/zooming. This one was very difficult to get past the TH-cam claims. It was too special not to share so I did what was necessary. Thanks for understanding! Incredible song💙🔥

I saw her with Billy Joel last month. She doesn't age❤
Her 10 cd box set is coming out July 28th!
yea, when taylor swift breaks up with you, she sings about you later. when stevie nicks is over you , she makes you stay with the band and play guitar on her songs....
Most beautiful woman in the world in this moment.
Babe, I was there in the crowd. She delivered like a A MFUKR.
You are so lucky to have witnessed that performance in person! ❤
In the 80s, every man wanted her singing this to him!
And that's how it's done folks!
3:36 Stevie got another one 👏👏👏
She knows how to command a stage.
She’s had so many of under her spell for decades! She’s now 75 and still selling out arenas because of her legacy of performances like this! I’ll be seeing her for the 11th time and soo looking forward to it!
I'll be seeing her for the first time later this year in San Francisco.
omg im going to the San Francisco show too@@crucify40
So, now you know why Stevie is the reigning Queen of Rock n Roll!
“Mesmerised by Stevie Nicks.” Yeah, she was mesmerising. 😊
Riveting, powerful, haunting, unique and beautiful.
One word… ok, maybe two…
“Icon Goddess”
We are blessed she still with us and touring in 2024.
Stevie's slightly gravelly voice with the uncontrolled vibrato was unmatched in the color of the voice.
Stevie has the best fans because she connects with them at her concerts.
No one enchants quite like Stevie, we are so lucky to have been around in the same time.
Delicate looking woman who is 100% power. Stevie is a magical songwriter singer who brings the magic every time. She’s owns that stage
My forever QUEEN 🙌🖤
This song is absolutely one of the most special songs of my life soundtrack.
Mine too
-#cheers-- !-
She is our Supreme Witch... an absolute treasure.
A legend..poet...singer...leader for women in so many ways...the lighthouse is something else now from this powerhouse of magic
She put me under her beautiful spell from a tender age. She will continue to be the most gorgeous, talented human being I have ever known. I am so glad that she still touches us.
She is the Queen of Rock n' Roll.
Her performance of Leather and Lace from this same show is hypnotic.
That was actually my wedding song
On one hand, I feel so fortunate to have grown up during the time that this music was first released. On the other hand, I'm so jealous of younger people like you who still have this huge treasure trove of music and performances that you still get to experience for the first time!
That was going to b my exact comment lol
Stevie is a force of nature. Beautiful woman, great singer-songwriter
Every guy fell in love with Stevie nicks back in the day
……..I saw it in your eyes SalvoG 😂❤
You have Stevie Nicks fever like the rest of us had growing up with her in the 70’s & 80’s ❤️Stevie will always be my SNOW Princess ❤️ ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
I love that this made you feel so much!! You are bang on with your perception! She is a special kind of artist woman and the band is exceptional! She’s an eternal legend!
At 64 y/o I still want to grow up to be Stevie Nicks ❣@SalvoG , thanks for pushing this through to us! You know I love *all* of your reactions 🤗
All of this power from a little 5'2" woman that is so sweet and funny in real life. She's a dynamo!!! I'm so glad to see the appreciation in your face, genuinely enjoying her performance.

Hahahahaha! I totally get it 😊
Stevie at her best, one of the all time greats.
The lead guitarist picked the entire lead throughout the song . he was to,d it was planed to be done digitally but scoffed at that and did it LIVE !
One of the best. The greatest. Lasting wayyyy past our GenX lifetime. Go on Stevie. Remind them all.
this is one of the most incredible live performances of all time by any artist
Such an amazing performance.. love the emotion and intensity coming out of her. And the ending is just so adorable, the way she says "Snoopy" is so cute.
That performance is legendary. She was a wild an unstoppable storm.
Impossible to imagine Fleetwood Mac without Stevie Nicks and her vocals, real talent
That's why she is The Rock Goddess!!!
The goddess of music. ❤she deserves all the love she gets .
Yet Another male reactor who was mesmerized by Stevie!! ❤
Add a million lesbians plus one also mesmerized by Stevie!!
That backing band is something else. I spotted Mick Fleetwood on drums and Waddy Wachtel on guitar.
My 60-something body still gets up to rock to her music! Fleetwood Mac, or just Stevie! Awesome!
Waddy deserves more credit to Stevie's sound.
I wanted to name my daughter Stevie back in 83..But the wife said we already had 2 Steves in the family..so i said how about Lindsey...bingo...she agreed..
What a damn shame that song never made the top 10!!
I was mesmerised by Stevie as a little girl. My dad bought Belladonna and Wildheart on tape for my mum and she didn't like them-but I did and I still do. I think she's beautiful. She's a goddess. I still think she's the most beautiful woman on the planet!
Always held the stage and audience captured! She's so witchy!!!!!
My god, does she put on a show! I’ve seen her a total of 6 times. Every year that she’s around on my birthday (April), I ask my husband for 2 tickets to one of her concerts. 1 for me and 1 for my sister. Weather it’s her alone or with Fleetwood Mac.

You should watch her do this song live in Chicago in 1997….she is much older but she completely Rocks it but in a different way.
Yep. Queen of Rock right there bro.
One of the greatest ever.😊
I had such a crush on Stevie. Shoot, who I am kidding? I still do.
Side note, "Destiny's Child" (the band "Beyonce" started out in) used that same guitar piece in their song "Bootilicous" and if memory serves right, Stevie appeared in the music video for it.
Mesmerized by Stevie...a legion of us feels the same way my friend.
Welcome to the club young man.
I've been that way for close to 50 years.
You have just witnessed the best Stevie Nicks live performance ever captured on video. She was in her absolute prime then, her voice never better. This was the final performance of her first solo album tour. Top-notch backup band, and singers, with Waddy Wachtel's amazing driving guitar work... She never looked or sounded any better than this....
'Stevie, how much coke did you do before the show?' 'Yes.' I'm not sure she even knew where she was lol
I have seen this amazing lady at least 10 times, twice with Fleetwood Mac. I saw her last year and am seeing her again this year. Thank you.
She is and always has been a star in the stratosphere!!! ⭐🎵🎼🎶🥁🎤🎙🎸🎹🔥🔥
The Queen of Rock ❤
She is 75 now and still sounds great,and still touring!She just did a show in Knoxville TN couple weeks ago,.The guitarist is Waddy Wachtel,and now 76 still touring with her,over 40 years now.This is music at it's absolute best!
75 and also very good looking still too.
Yes she sure is,she's taken care of herself over the years.Beautiful !
Waddy is a hero.
Love all your reactions to Stevie and Fleetwood Mac! You can't help falling under her spell and loving her. I am 64 and she can still make me feel 17 ❤
Don't forget to listen and be blown away by her vocal partner Christine McPhee. What a talent!!
FYI, that concert was Stevie's first "solo" concert (without Fleetwood Mac) and it was shown in it's entirety on cable (HBO or Showtime, I forget which).
She had a lot of experience commanding and sharing the stage with Fleetwood Mac.
She's the Queen of Rock
She does a great live concert.. no lip sing.....ever...she is 💯
Isn't she just so lovely and graceful? I hadn't realized you hadn't done this one yet. This is my favorite version by far out of all of them, that whole concert was fire. And I hope they remaster it and release it because I only have it on VHS 😂 Russ Kunkel (drummer) was working his a** off, that's a pretty relentless song.

Yup - that's Waddy Wachtel on guitar and Russ Kunkel on drums. They've been behind so many great performances! I'm so spoiled to have seen Stevie and her bands so many times I've lost count.
That's pretty much the story that I heard too. If I recall correctly, Stevie wanted the piano to write music while she was in Hawaii.
@@steveullrich7737 yes, Stevie tells it better because if I recall the woman was literally pushing the piano up a hill to get it to Stevie.
No, I'm pretty sure that was Russ Kunkel on drums, just as he played on the Bella Donna album.
As someone who was alive in the 70’s and grew up in the 80’s I was always aware of Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks but mostly chose to listen to hard rock and heavy metal. As highly regarded as Stevie Nicks is, I actually think she might be underrated. In my old age I find myself listening to more of her a FM, which sounds so timeless.
My BFF and I are heading to Houston to see her tonight! This will be our second Stevie concert and I can’t wait! 75 and still killing it!
Another thing that always blows my mind is that when you see videos like this of her live performances she looks larger than life on that stage but in reality she is just 5’ 1” tall! First time I saw her live I was like 🤔 it just shows how she commands more than the space she inhabits!

dont mess with Stevie!!!!

She did this same show when she was last here a few years ago in Australia. I felt like I'd been transported back in time. Truly amazing to experience considering I didn't exist back in the 80's. Stevie is indescribable. Just magic.
2:53 My same reaction every time I hear Stevie
Love this ❤
Crush of my life. She is STUNNING in the Tusk video at Dodge Stadium
That would be a great video to watch! I don't know of any other band who have a college band playing on the song.
Stunningly beautiful!!💕💕🎵🎼🎶🥁🎤🎙🎸🎹🔥🔥
All time classic live performance!
I was fortunate to see her twice. Once with Fleetwood Mac, in Dallas, TX 1978. And again, as a solo artist in Seattle around 1984. She was crazy beautiful & so charismatic!😏❤️🎙😎🤘
Thank you, my friend. As always your presence, and your sheer love of music, touches me deeply, and reminds me of how it's music like this that saved my life. Blessings. Keep on.
Saw her in huston at the summit 81 or 82. She's awesome. One of the best
Love Stevie Nicks. Been lucky enough to see her live a couple of times and she never disappoints. This though was the solo track that just knocked me out as stand out excellent!
Love her... Leather and lace from the same album is beautiful ❤
Ooo_ wee!!! Hit on this forever grand classic . That never gets to much play!!! BIG PROPS to the backing vocals
Im a huge Stevie fan from the beginning. Each of her songs holds its own special spot in my heart. This one is a stand out as i was coming of age, literally on the edge of seventeen when it came out and i was learning about love and life. i still find her absolutely captivating all these years later.

Hey Salvo! This one is long overdue....a real classic!
Stevie is QUEEN! I love seeing her arms full of flowers. Not one is more beautiful than she is!
Love the flowers. That is how queens should be treated!
Great review....and nice to see Mick Fleetwood on the drums & YES the backup vocals are on point! Rightly so, this is one of those songs that stands the test of time and is fire after all these years. Kudos for picking this performance....it is the best version I've seen!
In this performance it's not Mick Fleetwood. It's Russ Kunkle.
@@gailgaren9362that’s what I came here to check. Looks like him at first glance.
SalvoG, I’d like to suggest to you to look up Edge Of Seventeen, live in Chicago (about 12 years ago). IT. IS. EPIC!!!!!!!!! Stevie has a small orchestra behind her and the music just builds and builds. It leaves me speechless. Who ever arranged it is a genius. So spectacular!!!!
I've seen Stevie several times, both solo and with FM. She is truly mesmerizing. I can't take my eyes off of her. Her talent is immeasurable. ❤❤
My fave female artist. Love her !!
Just a magical track! ❤️
watch the live in Chicago version....she still has it in her 70s. Absolutely love her
