first time hearing Stevie Nicks - Edge of Seventeen | Reaction!!

[@SandieKennedy]

Stevie Nicks is pure GODDESS!! I'm 60, and so glad I grew up with her!

[@intothemystic3374]

Yes! We teens in the 70's wanted to emulate her and sometimes still do with long flowing skirts, scarves and wraps. Fun !

You cannot compete with people who actually have a voice for singing! Go sit yo lil butt down! I'm sorry. I don't usually badmouth female artists.

Your right Stevie is bad! I always tell people they missed out, because the 70's and 80's were the greatest time for music. Growing up listening to Stevie Nick's, Phil Collins, Led Zeppelin, Ac-dc, Van Halen, Heart and The Eagles was the best. No other decade can compare !

This song was in School of Rock, when Jack Black was trying to sweet talk the principal, Joan Cusack, so he could get the kids into the battle of the bands. Jack had heard she loved Stevie Nick. It was a great scene, both great actors and Stevie singing in the background was icing on the cake.

[@maharet64]

stevie is the white witch, the goddess, the godmother of rock. my all time top singer. i've been to countless stevie and FM concerts. never disappointed! live videos are always the best for her. just saw her a couple of weeks ago and was impressed at the range she's been able to maintain. she's now 76.

She was uncomfortable selling sex. She was all about her music/lyrics and vocals. Definitely check out Stop Dragging My Heart Around.

[@kathiek4239]

I heard somewhere long ago that she wrote this song after a conversation with Tom Petty’s wife. Apparently Tom’s wife was telling Stevie how they met, and in her thick southern accent told her it was at the AGE of seventeen. Stevie thought she had said the EDGE of seventeen and loved the line so much she wrote this song. Stevie is a badass. 🫶🤘

[@DashcamRiprock]

Sorta, that's where the title came from. The song itself is about visiting her uncle as he was dying, and there are also allusions to John Lennon (With the words from a poet and a voice from a choir and a melody) who was shot the same week she was going through that.

[@lynncollier4615]

The drummer is Russ Kunkel, not Mick Fleetwood. I wore out the VHS of this great concert video back in the day. The musicians Stevie teamed with for this concert were a lot of well-known musicians like Kunkel on drums and Waddy Wachtel on guitar. I think Roy Bittan, Billy Joel's keyboard player, was a part of this as well.

[@Troublette59]

Roy Bittan is playing but he’s Bruce Springsteen’s piano player.

[@LivingInTheKaliYogurt]

Before my time. I know I could use the interwebs to find the info, but prefer to get the info in the convo from real people. Can you tell me more about the drummer and guitarist? Were they in other big bands or just road/session guys that played with a lot of big names?

[@kellyreiterman]

@@LivingInTheKaliYogurt Sure. Waddy Wachtel has been a session musician for decades. He played on Stevie and Lindsey's album Buckingham/Nicks, which was the album that brought them to Mick Fleetwood's attention. He's also played with James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, the Rolling Stones, Jackson Browne, and many others. Similarly, Russ Kunkel has been a long-time session musician playing with the likes of Bill Withers, Jackson Browne, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Mama Cass (he was married to her sister Leah at one point), Carole King, Linda Ronstadt, and Carly Simon, among others. Very well-respected musicians.

[@saradenison8781]

The guitarist here was Waddy Wachtel. He played with many musicians. You can also hear him playing acoustic guitar for James Taylor and JD Souther on the song "Her Town". Such a great song you should check out!

[@lotusladylotus6159]

Finally, Stevie Nicks, my spirit animal 😉😊! Think you would also enjoy "Stop Dragging my Heart Around' next. You should also check out one of her live/concert performances of "Rhiannon", "Dreams", "Silver Springs" and "Landslide", all of which she also wrote; even though they go back to her Fleetwood Mac days, her passionate performance and stage presence are just spectacular. Mick Fleetwood once described the climax of her live performance of "Rhiannon" as akin to an exorcism!

[@sherrybirchall8677]

Here's a good one for you to check out. Redbone "Come and Get Your Love". The Midnight Special recording is a good one, and it starts out with some Native American dancing.

[@josiepkat]

1981 - and I was just getting put into voice lessons when my family finally took me seriously and I was winning vocal contests (age 11) - all teachers would ask my favorite singers. They were horrified Stevie Nicks was in my list. LOL. Mostly because she's pretty hard on her voice but the live stuff, I've only recently seen, of her from this period she's just got incredible soul. She was and is an absolute GODDESS. She empowered a LOT of young girls and made a LOT of men fall in love with her. She's 76 and toured recently. My friend worked the show and got to see it, he said it was great. She was upset a few years ago because of the lockdowns because she'd wanted to do one more tour and at her age things can change on a dime. Obviously it was probably her las tour. An absolute legend.
