SAN FRANCISCO — Fleetwood Mac vocalist Stevie Nicks revisited her songbook with the group as well as her solo material at Chase Center on Friday.

Nicks walked onto the stage in a black dress covered by a lacy shawl, the first of several outfits she would don throughout the night. Her blonde wavy hair flowed down long past her shoulders.

She and her band began with “Outside the Rain,” from 1981 solo album Bella Donna. This flowed into another crowd favorite, Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams,” from 1977’s Rumours, with its familiar guitar interlude between verses.

“I feel like I’m home. It’s so crazy,” Nicks said afterward. She talked about one of her first times playing the Fillmore, where Bill Graham admonished a heckler in the audience on her behalf. She explained that’s why her heart remains in San Francisco, and that she spent seven years living in the city after that experience.

Nicks’ voice was in good form; her iconic vibrato clear and strong. She artfully arranged her vocals to avoid some of the higher notes from the original recordings, but the songs still maintained the same feel. She belted out the lyrics with ease, breezing through each song.

She followed “If Anyone Falls,” from 1983’s The Wild Heart, with a story about meeting Tom Petty, with whom she collaborated on 1981’s “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around.” Her performance of the song featured a Petty-esque guitar solo, with Nicks’ guitarist singing the late Petty’s parts.

Nicks, a master storyteller, spoke of first encounters with music industry leader Jimmy Iovine and the late Christine McVie. A story about how she and Lindsey Buckingham met and  joined Fleetwood Mac led up to “Gypsy,” from the 1982 Fleetwood Mac album Mirage. Many in the crowd, who sat for much of the performance, stood for this one.

After “The Wild Heart,” Nicks mentioned that she was wearing the original “Bella Donna” shawl, then replaced it with another for “Stand Back.”

There was a brief technical problem with the video screens, during which Nicks chatted some more, before she and her band kicked into “Soldier’s Angel.” Images of Russia’s war in Ukraine, including Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky and the country’s flag, rolled on the screen behind her.

Stevie Nicks followed that up with Rumours‘ “Gold Dust Woman,” “I Sing for the Things” and “Edge of Seventeen.” She even performed her iconic whirling dance to the latter.

After a very quick break, Nicks returned for an encore of Tom Petty’s “Free Fallin’” and Fleetwood Mac’s “Rhiannon.”

The performance, which was about two hours long, was previously scheduled last March but postponed after a Covid-19 diagnosis within Nicks’ band.
