Stevie Nicks - Edge Of Seventeen [1981] Live

Stephanie Lynn "Stevie" Nicks (born May 26, 1948) is an American singer-songwriter, best known for her work with Fleetwood Mac and an extensive solo career, which collectively have produced over forty Top 50 hits and sold over 140 million albums. She has been noted for her ethereal visual style and symbolic lyrics.
Nicks joined Fleetwood Mac in 1975 along with her then boyfriend Lindsey Buckingham. Fleetwood Mac's second album after the incorporation of Nicks and Buckingham, 1977's Rumours, produced four U.S. Top 10 singles (including Nicks' song "Dreams", which was the band's first and only U.S. number one) and remained at #1 on the American albums chart for 31 weeks, as well as reaching the top spot in various countries around the world. To date the album has sold over 40 million copies worldwide.
Nicks began her solo career in 1981 with the 8 million selling album Bella Donna, and she has produced five more solo studio albums to date. Her seventh solo studio album, and her first in ten years, is currently in post-production with Dave Stewart of Eurythmics fame at the helm, and is due for release on March 1, 2011.
After the release of her first solo album, Rolling Stone deemed her "The Reigning Queen of Rock and Roll".[1] Overcoming cocaine addiction, dependency on tranquilizers, and chronic fatigue syndrome, Nicks remains a popular solo performer. She has been nominated for seven Grammy Awards and, with Fleetwood Mac, won the 1977/1978 Grammy for Album of the Year for Rumours. As a member of Fleetwood Mac, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. Nicks has a contralto vocal range.[

This has got to be Stevie's best rendition of Edge of Seventeen, even the backup singers ring like a bell...

[@blahdeblah1975]

Best one I've seen.

[@williamcullen8756]

I love the back-up vocals at 5::10 to 5::23 - I search for this version just because of those few seconds.

[@SJ-ty5rw]

Sadly their are vocal overdubs on her voice . This originally aired on HBO , and it was later touched up .. for the official release seen here . Unfortunately many artist do this with a pro release .

[@ioccatonyz1]

@@SJ-ty5rw It's not sad, and they are called "Recording" artist for a reason.

[@SJ-ty5rw]

@@ioccatonyz1 Yes but then just call the "concert" a studio concert . Rather than brand it as live

[@zvhj7a45sz]

The best live version of this song. The harmonies are beautiful

[@davidpartridge4986]

Stevie Nicks has a voice with qualities that will never be duplicated. The "gravelly" quality of her voice is just plain awesome!!!

[@tollban]

Stevie... have you seen this recently? It' s you. And always will be. You were, you are and always will be a Light. love you -from Spain.

[@Jojo-la]

Best version ever

[@dashergirl13]

Love. The. Boots! Her style and the music will never die!!

[@nicksfan69]

I miss this Stevie. This is my favorite Stevie era. I have this concert on VHS. The Belladonna and Wild Heart albums are timeless. No one else writes a song like this woman.

[@ownwonwon]

Stevie nicks!! Que música...que interpretação! Senhores !! Grande stevie Nicks forever!!!falamos português!! Mais a emoção que transmite!!!! Senhores ....queremos stevie Nicks! E todos que a acompanham!!! Isto é o céu!!!.... ali quero morar!!/_

[@TimothyCostello]

This legit gives me goosebumps! Damn her voice is next level! She has the quintessential rock music voice. Truly iconic.

[@titodude]

Dear God allow me to see Stevie on stage once in life... That's all I want.

[@ostrovisky]

titodude she's going on tour again in 2017! maybe you can 🙌🏻

[@TheEarl666]

I saw Stevie on Tour with Fleetwood Mac April 20 2013 at Moheghan Sun Arena, She was Amazing and So Beautiful, My First Concert Ever

[@Tulkinghorn1234]

A truly outstanding performance by not only Stevie but also by the band and the backing singers. Magic.

[@msjerzy76]

Stevie KILLED it! Crowd sux. Way to quiet for her energy. She was IN that song that night. I was 5 in 1981 and am so glad my mother exposed me to this music. Can't compare the crap they call music today to this. Thanks so much for posting this!!!!

[@williamsledge400]

That is because this isn't a strait live recording, There is a video of the real audio on you tube. I love the other version more than this one.

[@TheEarl666]

They couldn't sing live if their life depended on it !!!!!!!!!

[@SaintPhillippe]

They were enthused, enamored by the performance.

[@plantium1000]

For me: Greatest Rock-Roll song "ever"! Pure poetry! "Stevie Nicks, Live in Concert" "A must see concert"!

[@steventuttlebury5849]

This is one hell of a performance, stevie rules that stage. Whished I had been there.

[@alanladd2768]

There are moments that you can see the emotions that inspired the lyrics pushing to the surface

[@johngosselin4512]

To see Stevie LIVE, and up-close, is OTHERWORLDLY . . . her persona on stage is INCREDIBLE . . . it was 43 YEARS ago, and I still remember being in an absolute STUPOR . . . the CELEBRITY LOVE of my LIFE . . . even after all of these years . . .

[@bellaangel2860]

Chills doesn't even begin to describe this illuminating performance! So much heart, soul, and BRAVERY in this extremely powerful song! I am so proud to be named after this POWWER FORCE ........ I am celebrating being raised on this magical, magnificent, matriarchal, MUSIC! I love you Stevie Nicks; I pray your audience deserves your talent, grace and pure beauty! ~333 :D ~❤~ A warm gentle hug! xo

[@katemccrew]

chills chills and more chills -

[@BenRangel]

I've always wondered what the guitarist's fingers feel like after playing this riff for +8 minutes nonstop :D

[@mrsmadtux]

Rich! $$$$ His name is Waddy Waddell. Seriously underrated musician. Look at his Wikipedia page. He has played with all the best bands and musicians in the world. And yet, he stays loyal to Stevie. Like every man in her life, she cast a spell on him that keeps him enchanted by her radiant spirit and he stays by her side when she needs him to be--even if he's doing another project with someone else when she calls.

[@stevobath]

Jenifer L. shame he's into child pornography.

[@mrsmadtux]

Yes, but I have to think it must have been something like a website that has older girls who pretend to be 13 or whatever and maybe some 17 year olds slipped in there unbeknownst to the viewers. I have to think that because I don't believe Stevie would have kept him all these years if it was truly something evil and abhorrent.

[@stevobath]

Jenifer L. no, it was little girls that you couldn't mistake for young adults. He pleaded no contest & got probation. Money talks as well as being Jewish. I'm sure there are a lot more rock stars who are paedo's but are more careful these days. Still, doesn't make him any less of a musician. Unsung guitarist for sure.

[@mrsmadtux]

stevobath Oh yikes. Although, pleasing no contest isn't the same as pleading guilty. It just means you don't want to drag it out in court for months or years. Things have a way of quietly going away much faster if you just take your lumps and bumps and move on. But then again, he might have actually wanted to look at that. Or maybe he was abused as a child and fantasized about reenacting the situation but with him as the dominant one, attempting to override the memory burned in his head when he was helpless to stop it. It happens that way a lot. Que Sera sera. Stevie kicks ass and I worship the ground she walks on. That's all I care about.

[@pihrmacha]

This is so hauntingly beautiful. I'm stunned.

[@Wolfsky9]

It was '76, & FMC opened in Denver, Mile-Hi-Stadium, for The Beach Boys--76,000, & I was in front--when they came on, Stevie--from the 1st chord to the last--owned that crowd. Unbelievable charisma. I saw her in '81, '82, & '83--& she was, if possible, better each year. What memories. Wolfsky9, 66 y/o

[@bullldogs004]

Priceless!!!!

[@RisingOmega]

God I love this lady. She is so classy and really knows how to put on a show. Not like the so called "trash" entertainers of today. Stevie is truly a class act, very rare to find in today's so called entertainment industry. ROCK ON STEVIE!!

[@jlmee5878]

Truly one of the most amazing performances ever!

[@pasadener]

the greatest songwriter/artist of all time!

love stevie knicks talented singer/songwriter awesome unique voice too and style

[@jtepe2857]

In my hometown, the local radio station played this live version instead of the album cut. This BY FAR is better than the studio cut...and the DJs were smart enough to know it!

[@michaelsereno1497]

Russ Kunkel. Waddy Wachtel, Bobby Hall, incredible musicians at this concert. Cool to be there for this then so lucky to attend.

[@Lykw1dSloth]

Back b/f the www you had a magazine, Mtv & live as your options for seeing your favorite recording artists, I remember seeing someone live was so special for me, it was almost surreal, like I almost couldn’t believe they were actually right there in person performing in front of me...I am grateful for the www in my later years for the chance to see these performances again, sometimes the very shows that I attended...

[@rosannavacca5540]

My inspiration I love you Stevie!!

[@ShannonMartinPaul]

mine as well!!!

[@wolfhors3_660]

I had forgotten all the flowers 😁

[@djdave29]

She's so adorable and brilliant.

[@geraldjohansen2421]

The description says 11 years ago, lol, try 41 frigging years ago.. I saw this tour and I thought she was washed up trying to make one last go of it until I heard this in a different city, same tour and her energy was captivating. True story

[@conscious_shift]

Stevie Nicks will never be washed up ✨

[@grav3yard973]

My insperation, I cry everytime I see this, she is just magic.

[@Choc1Joe]

So many different sources of inspiration for this song. The death of John Lennon, the death of her uncle when she 'ran upstairs and down the hall' but couldn't find anyone to help, and of course a relationship at a young age

[@sammywammyvilla1990]

steve nicks is the shit.. this was my song

[@JackSmilin321]

She was so sweet at that age.

[@kgem5621]

Saw them live. I can die happy now.

[@hardigattibua]

Everytime I listen to Stevie Nicks , Bonny Tyler and Co I feel like I´m born in the wrong generation...good to know I´m not alone :P

[@theslash9210]

i came to know about this legendary singer from the movie the school of rock ..and evr since i have been a fan of her

[@andanangelskiss]

I heard that in the beginning of this video that she was crying. Not quite sure why but if you look at 0:46 seconds she is wiping a tear from her eye.

[@zvhj7a45sz]

thank you. you are 100% correct

[@deanosmith7523]

This this is the reason Stevie is the first woman inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2wice. Bella Donna and Wild Heart was her best 2 solo eras before she truly flamed out on Coke then on Klonopin.

[@jerardnorgren3411]

Ol' Stevie. One of a kind.

[@Hamster7nomustard]

BEST VERSION hands down

She Was, Is and Always Will Be The Most Beautiful !!!!!!

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@chainsaw4895]

That's my girl!!!!

[@zvhj7a45sz]

look up edge of seventeen with commentary on you tube. Stevie tells her story about this tour, the song and the song meaning in it. It's awesome.

[@RisingOmega]

@MultiKaraokeman , Classy lady indeed, one of the classiest. Certainly beats ANY diva queen you hear about today.

[@danglez18]

man its nice to watch this and see a good voice, not like the crap today

[@georgeepooh6621]

Well then suddenly... There was no one...left standing In the hall...yeah, yeah... In a flood of tears That no one really ever heard fall at all Oh I went searchin' for an answer... Up the stairs...and down the hall Not to find an answer... Just to hear the call Of a nightbird...singing... Come away...come away...

[@TheEarl666]

Throughout Her Career, Stevie Has Always Performed With Such Grace and Elegance ! She Never Dressed or Acted Like a Slut Because She Has True Natural Talent Which is Sadly Lacking in Most of Today's So Called Singers.

[@brandonbryson3317]

I think I'm in love hahaha

[@snarlingrabiddog5150]

Stevie did pretty darned good at getting a drummer who looked like Mic Fleetwood

[@TheEarl666]

I Wouldn't Be That Merciful !!!!

[@jorgepsousa911]

Bella Donna-Stevie Nicks!

[@doyleperkins4916]

In the beginning of the performance it appears that we have THE VESTIGES/VESTIGIAL MOVEMENTS OF a Wiccan DRAWING DOWN THE MOON ceremony

[@5050TM]

There is still fantastic music being made. I don't understand why so people think the crap on the radio is the best this generation has to offer. KZbin has limitless bands from this era who make beautiful music. There was tripe music in every era, even the 70's. Have more of an open mind, will you?

[@mikeysmixmadrid]

Welcome to the 80's
