If y'all haven't reacted to it already, you should check out her and Tom Petty, stop dragging my heart around
Yes! Stop Dragging My Heart Around, Nick's and Petty. Great song!
Yes, I agree😊
Agreed. Awesome song
@@greggalbright9849 definitely one of my favorites

STAND BACK is a MUST!
Originally Nicks was inspired to write a song titled “Edge Of Seventeen” after meeting Tom Petty’s wife, who told Nicks she’d met Petty at the ‘age of seventeen’ - but her southern accent was so thick, it sounded like ‘edge of seventeen’. However, after the death of her uncle Jonathan and the murder of John Lennon during the same week of December 1980, she wrote about her grief resulting from these tragedies, but decided to keep the song title.

"when ever i call you friend" with kenny loggins
Pat Benetar was bringing the heat on the female solo side in the late 70's into the 80's.
One day, you should react to her song "Stand Back."
"Stand Back" live in Chicago is awesome.
Yes I was thinking this too.
Stevie is currently touring or just finished touring. She is still phenomenal in her 70's.
Stevie was one of my earliest teenage crushes. Absolutely beautiful women, incredible hair, supermodel looks, and a voice that could rip through anything. As I got older I still had a crush on her, but I was able to appreciate her voice more and more. She's still one of my favorite female vocalists ever all these years later. So much good music from Buckingham Nicks, to Fleetwood Mac, to her solo career, she kicked ass in everything she did.
Was a real banger in its day
Leather and Lace, Stand Back.
Gold Dust Woman and Sara are 2 musts for Stevie ❤
I have worked on her for facials back in the day, She was a gracious client and a REAL lady! Total respect for this woman/artist!
Mick Fleetwood and Stevie Nick were back up for a singer named john Stewart. The songs name was ' GOLD' to me its a great song.
She is called The Rock Goddess
Jack Black puts this song on the jukebox in School of Rock and sings along to it.
I got to see Stevie Nicks in 2001, my mom bought me tickets and took me to see her for my 30th birthday, of everyone I had seen up to that point, non held a candle to her, I was mesmerized the entire concert, but I also had a crush on her since I was about 9 years old lol
Great song by Nicks, one on many.
In the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame with Fleetwood Mac and as a solo artist.
"Stop Dragging My Heart Around" magical! Joan Jett also sings about a 17 year old. Been a long, long time since I was seventeen.
So many good songs from her solo work. This album was great. Need to check out Stop Dragging My Heart Around duet with Tom Petty and Leather and Lace with Don Henley.
I saw her on tour in 1983 with Joe Walsh as the opener and then again in 1989 with The Hooters (All You Zombies).
The 1989 tour had Shelia E's brother playing percussion.
The lead guitarist is Waddy Wachtel who also played with Linda Ronstadt.
I played this album to death, back in the day. Always loved Stevie.
There is a concert video, which is UNBELIEVABLE!
Yes, that's ny favorite performance.
💯💯💯YES!!!! It's actually the official vid for the song. It's the BEST!!!!🥰🥰🥰
Live at Red Rocks, great vid
I saw her a couple of years ago and her voice is the same and she looks the same ! ❤
First female to be inducted twice into the Rock and roll Hall of Fame, will Fleetwood Mac and as a solo artist. The queen of Rock
Her back up singers were a big part of her solo work then and I believe very good friends of Stevie. One of my favorite female vocalists.
Lisa Nicks is the on the Left. That is her "sister in-law/sister" Both have stayed with her through the years.
That rhythm guitar riff that drives the whole song was a contribution of the great LA studio and touring guitarist Waddy Wachtel…..one of the best rhythm guitar players ever and a top-sideman to the likes of Keith Richards and innumerable others. He is still Stevie’s guitarist and road manager, and they are out on a mammoth tour right now.
Try the live in Chicago version of this song. Stunning.
In an interview, Stevie said that the song was about grief and being present at the passing of her Uncle John. The dove represented his spirit (singing come away, come away) and also that of John Lennon, who was a friend of her then boyfriend Jimmy Iovine and was assassinated in December of 1980. She did not know Lennon, but she knew grief and mourning. The title came from Tom Petty's wife. You should check out her duet with the Eagles' Don Henley- Leather and Lace.
Incredible guitar work by Waddy Wachtel
Very haunting vibe in this song for sure.
Stevie was a once in a life time, one of a kind! Her voice! That voice! Screeches sex, rage, anger, and love all at the same time! One off! Never again!
I do love this song, another great one you should listen to is Leather and Lace, love that one too!❤❤
Great reaction Phil & Sam, really enjoying listening to you guys!!
The most iconic female voice in the history of Rock.
Kate Bush.....Hold my pint!!
The guitar riff is sampled in Destiny's Child - Bootylicious... and Stevie guest stars in the video too...
Stevie and band could. and did, perform the song live as well as the studio recording. Mega hit of the 80's.
After her solo concerts her dad was always there with a dozen roses and a teddy bear.
😊❤ Hi Phil and Sam! 😅 Awe one of my favorite solos by Stevie Nicks!! Stevie wrote this after both her uncle and John Lennon died. She and a younger cousin were staying with her uncle at his home in the AZ desert. She was older than her cousin so when they discovered her uncle she had to try and be the responsible one despite her own grief. I got this from her cd insert for "Timescape". Instead of putting the lyrics to the songs, she wrote a paragraph or two about the writing of the song. Another awesome song is "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You ". She wrote that for/about Eric Clapton when he lost his young child. Very sad but the song will show you yet another side of Stevie, very tender and powerful at the same time. Love you guys!! 😊❤❤
Also, Stevie Nicks wrote this song about the death of her uncle and the death of John Lennon. The line about the "Words from a poet and a voice from a choir" refers to Lennon.
she explained: "I was in Australia when John Lennon was shot. Everybody was devastated. I didn't know John Lennon, but I knew Jimmy Iovine, who worked with John quite a bit in the '70s, and heard all the loving stories that Jimmy told about him. When I came back to Phoenix I started to write this song.
Right when I got to Phoenix, my uncle Bill got cancer, got very sick very fast, and died in a couple of weeks. My cousin John Nicks and I were in the room when he died. There was just John and I there. That was part of the song when I went running down the hallways looking for somebody - I thought where's my mom? Where's his wife and the rest of the family? At that point I went back to the piano and finished the song."
A song that has forever stood the test of time!!!
Other songs from Stevie are 'Beauty And The Beast, If Anyone Falls, Stand Back, Nightbird, Talk To Me, I Can't Wait, Leather And Lace w/ Don Henley, Stop Draggin' My Heart (Around) w/Tom Petty, Wild Heart
Hey guys I enjoy all of your reactions one of her backup singers to the left is her sister
I was so in love with stevie
The baton twirling on Tusk video was epic!
The hair the way she dressed the way she sang was so hypnotic
@bill9605 Who wasn’t
I'm a 100% heterosexual female and I was totally in love with Stevie. Those were some confusing years for me!! 😅😅
Love this song. The guitar player here is a legend! Waddy Wachtel was/is a studio musician and has played on tons of songs. Arlo Guthrie, Bob Segar, Ringo Starr, Linda Ronstadt, Beth Hart, Stevie Nicks, Kim Carnes, Randy Newman, Keith Richards, The Rolling Stones (lead guitar on "Saint of Me"), Jon Bon Jovi, James Taylor, Iggy Pop, Warren Zevon, Bryan Ferry, Michael Sweet, Jackson Browne, Karla Bonoff, and Andrew Gold to name but a few of the artists he worked with. He was also the acoustic guitar player in the movie 'The Poseidon Adventure' (1972) and has scored dozens of movies and appeared on hundreds of albums.
Stevie Nicks knew what she wanted to achieve with “Edge of Seventeen.”
Waddy Wachtel however had never heard ‘Bring On the Night,’ which Stevie wanted it to feel like. "I had heard something about the Police, but I didn’t know what they were talking about.”
In fact, he didn't completely appreciate the similarities between “Edge of Seventeen” and “Bring on the Night” for years he was quoted as saying. “I had the radio on, and on comes what sounds like ‘Edge of Seventeen’ - and all of a sudden, there’s Sting’s voice!” Wachtel said. “I thought, ‘We ripped them off completely!’ I called Stevie that night and said, ‘Listen to me: Don’t ever do that again!’”

I think he's been her touring guitarist and musical director for years.
@@umpdaddy1 As he was for Linda Ronstadt. He's also in Keith Richards' other band - The X-Pensive Winos.
On one of the VHS tapes I had, a live performance, Waddy comes out on stage alone, he walks out, stands there for a moment, bows his head and just starts up that riff, and the crowd just erupted. Man was and still is legend as you said!
She is one of a kind! One always knows any song she sings that it is her's, in a good way. Another rocker from that timeframe is Pat Benetar. You may have already reacted to her: 'We Belong", 'Heartbreaker", "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" are a few of her biggies.
I'm with Sam, thinking one-winged dove, but my husband corrected me (and I looked up the lyrics), that it is white winged dove, which definitely makes more sense. Thanks for another great reaction!
Stevie Nicks who was born Stephanie Lynn Nicks is the fi😢woman to become a 2 time Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Famer and it's well deserved !! You should do her duet with Tom Petty called Stop Dragging My Heart Around it's awesome !!
"If Anyone Falls" is another great one from this album. So is "Stand Back" ✋️
Starting to love your viewpoint. I can't believe how much of this music that is the soundtrack of my life will live on. I've seen 80% of these phenominal artists. Zeppelin 5 times. The best concert was Pink Floyd "Dark Side of the Moon"tour in 1973. Took you to another dimension. Keep rocking.✌️🌻🌻
The constant in her solo career has always been her best friend Sharon Celani on backing vocals and her guitarist and music arranger Waddy Watchel who also played with another great female singer in Linda Ronstadt
I cant wait for you to check out "I Can't Wait."
Love this song🤗🤗😂. Have aBlessed Day🦋
The song was in the movie School of Rock and an episode of Up All Night.
One wing dove is what I heard, back in the day. Got the giggles frequently, due to images of collisions with walls and trees. Lol!
awesome I knew I liked her but WOW this is awesome
Saw in concert in March, she still has it. Puts on a good show
In many of my Army pictures taken in the barracks, you can see the large poster of Stevie Nicks on my wall. We were allowed one poster, and she was it. lol
My favorites all time favorite female singer songwriter ❤❤❤❤
One of the backup singers is her sister, I'm thinking the one on the right.
I love Stevie's hair in this video! I had many a spiral perm in the 80s and still like to get one occasionally.
Grew up on n that era all young men loved Stevie forever
She is haunting, which is delightful. Try listening to "Gold Dust Woman." It's a Fleetwood Mac song.
Love this song by Stevie Nicks! She also does a great duo with Tom Petty, the song "Stop Dragging My Heart Around" 🔥. Also, you may want to check out these female rockers of the time..Pat Benatar and Joan Jett. They are both excellent, IMO😊. Thanks for reacting to this Stevie Nicks song, I loved it❣️
This song was in the movie school of rock
Another great song is Nightbird. Stevie sings it with her sister-in-law Cindy Nicks who has been a backup singer for Stevie for years.
Stevie made a cameo playing the guitar riff in the Destiny's Child music video Bootylicious, there's a behind the scenes clip on how DC asked Stevie to be in the video...
glad to see you react to and enjoy this one.
Saw Stevie live in November 2023. She nailed this one, and the rest of the show.
I was actually shocked at how good she still sounds.
For anyone who has been thinking about seeing her out on tour in 2024, go!
Tickets prices in the stratosphere…..at least the one in LA area…….bummed cause I’d like to see her…..AND Waddy Wachtel, one of my favorite characters in music.
@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 We drove by NYC to get to Allentown PA for better ticket prices and availability, so I hear you there.
Amazing song
She does a rendition of this in 2019 which absolutely equals or exceeds this performance.
"Stop Draggin My Heart Around" and "Leather And Lace" are epic.
Sam, you nailed it! The intro was sampled by Destiny's Child. Watch the video for Bootylicious and you'll see a cameo by Stevie Nicks, playing guitar!
Stevie was an 80s woman, no one was going to steal from her.
The guitar riff at the beginning indeed was sampled in a Destiny's Child song, Bootylicious. If I'm not mistaken Stevie was in the video playing the guitar riff. Crazy knowing what that song is about vs the deeper meaning Stevie has in Edge of Seventeen. I blast this when Im driving, along with the rest of her catalog & Fleetwood Mac's lol. Rumours is still my favorite album to this day.
"STAND BACK" should be next on your Stevie solo dive... she wrote the song after hearing Prince's "Little Red Corvette". It's her response to his iconic song!😜
Oh and fun fact: at Stevie's request, Prince wrote the synth riff for her "Stand Back". The song is just as iconic as "Little Red Corvette"!!👊💯💯💯
Landslide is a classic Nicks song that you should hear. It has been covered by many but her original version is the standard.
whhhhhhooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
Love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stevie’s debut-solo album. Wanting to remain anonymous…Prince had his hand in some songs.
“Stand Back”…Stevie was struggling with getting the right sound. Prince was at the studio, came to say hi. Stevie told Prince of her struggles…Prince walked to a drum machine and the sound was born. Prince played all instruments on the recording, but didn’t want credit. id. Golddust Woman - SN autobiography.
I saw her in the '80s and she was great live!🔥💯 She had a changing room on the side of the stage and she did at least 8 wardrobe changes during the concert. And she was freakin' gorgeous in every one of them!🤗❤️✌️
This song has multiple inspirations. The title was inspired by a conversation Nicks had with Tom Petty's 1st wife, Jane, regarding when the couple first met at the "age of seventeen". Due to Jane's southern accent, it sounded like "Edge of Seventeen" to Stevie. She promised to use the phrase in a future song. Years later, Stevie wrote the rest of the song to express her grief over the death of her Uncle Johnathan and the Beatles' legend John Lennon in the same week. The line about the dove was inspired by a menu at a restaurant.
I'd say this is her best solo piece, but give them all a listen. Keep in mind she also has duets in her solo career.
Sam, Stevie was wearing lighter colors for her performance (a white winged dove, singing oo-oo-oo), but in the video she was wearing black. As for the song meaning, it's a jumble of things, including the deaths in 1980 of her uncle John and of John Lennon. The bits that sound like visiting are linked to her uncle, who died of cancer at home. The nightbird calling would be the angel of death, somewhat similar to the song "Don't Fear the Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult.
Stevie was playing the opening guitar riff in Destiny's Child "Bootylicious" video!
Stevie Nicks also appeared in season 3 of FX TV's American Horror Story (Coven)
80s would have never been the same without Stevie. Her live version is awesome and much love displayed between artist and fan. We were blessed our artists performed for us. " Gypsy" is a great one too.
Her concert supporting the album has a performance that you really need to watch. Her voice is on point and her interaction with her fans are highlights.
And I think her sister is the backup on the left of the screen. She sang on a number of Stevie's songs.
Such a deep rabbit hole, even just her solo work. 🐐 🐐 🐐
you should check out SORCERER , from streets of fire movie . a rarely played song from Stevie ..
Seen this album on tour,it was amazing live. She has always been a force of nature.
Love This Song Steve Nicks Has Such a Unique Voice
She did a duo with Tom Petty
(Stop Draggin' My Heat Around).
And one with Don Henley....from The Eagles.
(Leather And Lace).
You should react to Silver Springs it’s about Stevie and Lindsey B uckinghams relationship its beautiful
She was literally my girl crush growing up 😂 Stop dragging my heart around featuring Tom Petty and Leather and lace featuring Don Henley bangers as Phil would say 😂. Peace out ✌️ ☮️
You should do Belinda Carlisle Mad About You and Circles in the Sand. Stevie's also got some great solo songs also.
You really should react to her live version of this song in 1981.
Stevie is amazing, in contrast listen to Has anyone ever written anything for you, Rooms on fire and Outside the rain (Red rocks version is awesome) not so well known but classics from her solo career.
This song was in the movie school of rock.
My college roommate was all in on her. Peace, Love!!
Green Lantern was another great solo song from her.
How is it that I've never seen this video?! I'm used to the live version from the Red Rocks concert. Is was Red Rocks, right, Stevie fans?
Boodilicious is the Destinies Child. She did a cameo in the video.
You need to do her incredible duet with Don Henley "Leather and Lace."
If you all were to do a whole album , the album this comes from , Bella Donna, is jammed with classics.
She has a lot of hits from solo career!
If anyone falls
Stand back
Rooms on fire
Talk to me
Whenever i call you friend a duet with Kenny Loggins
The girls, Sharon Celani and Lori Nicks (Stevie's sister-in-law) were instructed by Waddy Wachtel (guitar) to stand still, arms at side, not to distract from "the star". You shoulda watched the live version of this.
