Wednesday night Sweetie and headed downtown. The first stop was the penthouse bar at the Mayo Hotel for drinks.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2102\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And then on over to the BOK Center, my employer was nice enough to give us tickets to see Stevie Nicks and Rod Stewart together. I had had never thought of them belonging together but you know they both had their peak in the that brief time between  rock and roll and disco (ughhhhhh).<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2106\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Stevie Nicks opened up and sang eleven songs including several Fleetwood Mac Songs like “Dreams” and “Gold Dust Woman.”<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2105\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Everybody was commenting on the drummers hair. Maybe he has been on the road too long. What do you think?<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2108\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ms. Nicks also sang a haunting “Soldier’s Angel” based on her visit to Walter Reed hospital several years ago.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2117\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I saw Fleetwood Mac  in the early 1980’s when I lived in Houston. One thing I remembered was the onstage dressing room she had. Well she has a fancier version now.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2128\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I used to think that she had only one song, “Rhiannon” and not much range to her voice. Well I decided a long time ago that she is what she is.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2129\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She brought a shawl out and twirled about with it. She said it was from an early 80’s MTV music video.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2150\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I am not going to be rude and say how old she is. She still looks and sounds great.<\/p>\n

Stevie Nicks Set List<\/a><\/p>\n

Next up was Rod Stewart. Stevie Nicks was sultry and seducing. Rod was sassy and fully of energy.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2196\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He brought a large band with him and they did great, especially his violin player.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2215\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And his saxophonist.  I guess that the guy who sings “Hot Legs” would want short dresses on his musicians.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2207\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Not that I noticed.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2200\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He opened up with “Love Train” and went right through his hits, “Tonight’s the Night (Gonna be Allright)”, and eneded with “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy”.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2228\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A surprising number of his songs are covers, don’t matter.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2218\"<\/a><\/p>\n

His backup singers were pretty good, and also had short dresses.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2251\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He brought the Tulsa Strings out to accompany on a few songs. A nice local touch.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2260\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This being Oklahoma and all somebody threw their hat on stage. Mr. Stewart wore it, cooties and all.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2268\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He is getting kind of old also but he kicked a bunch of soccer balls into the stands. He is good at it.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2273\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A great time was had by all!!<\/p>\n
