The <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/tags\/fleetwood-mac\/\">Fleetwood Mac<\/a> singer&#8217;s concerts in August and September were all canceled and will be rescheduled at a later point.<\/p>\n<p>But on Wednesday night, Nicks got back into gear with a show that included various Fleetwood Mac classics, plus the live debut of &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/stevie-nicks-the-lighthouse-release\/\">The Lighthouse<\/a>,&#8221; a song Nicks released in September of 2024 that was inspired by the overturning of Roe v.

She also performed &#8220;Angel,&#8221; a track that appeared on 1979&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/fleetwood-mac-tusk\/\"><em>Tusk<\/em> <\/a>album, and one that Nicks has not performed live since 1983.<\/p>\n<p>You can view a complete set list, plus fan-filmed video of Nicks performing &#8220;Angel&#8221; \u2014 as well as &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/fleetwood-mac-landslide-early-version\/\">Landslide<\/a>&#8221; during her encore \u2014 below.<\/p>\n<h3>A Bit of Background on 1979&#8217;s &#8216;Angel&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Angel,&#8221; which was released as the sixth and final single from <em>Tusk<\/em>, was written about one of Nicks&#8217; bandmates. (It should not be confused with a song of the exact same name that was written by Bob Welch and included on the band&#8217;s 1974 album <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/fleetwood-mac-heroes-are-hard-to-find\/\"><em>Heroes are Hard to Find<\/em><\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A song about <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/tags\/mick-fleetwood\/\">Mick [Fleetwood]<\/a>. Not so much my love affair with him. I was always taken with his style, and in those days he would walk in the room and I would just look up,&#8221; Nicks explained for liner notes that accompanied a 2015 expanded reissue of <em>Tusk <\/em>(via <a href=\"https:\/\/stevienicks.info\/music\/fleetwood-mac-tusk-1979\/angel\/\" target=\"_blank\">stevienicks.info<\/a>). &#8220;&#8216;<em>I still look up when you walk in the room&#8230;I try not to reach out.&#8217;<\/em> It&#8217;s all about him and his crazy fob watch and his really beautiful clothes. He&#8217;s a very stylish individual and I was just this little California girl who&#8217;d never really known anybody like him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Watch Stevie Nicks Perform &#8216;Landslide&#8217; in Portland<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Stevie Nicks, Oct. 1, 2025, Moda Center, Portland, Oregon, Set List:<\/strong><br \/>1. &#8220;Not Fade Away&#8221; (The Crickets cover)<br \/>2. &#8220;If Anyone Falls&#8221;<br \/>3. &#8220;Outside the Rain&#8221;<br \/>4. &#8220;Dreams&#8221; (Fleetwood Mac song)<br \/>5. &#8220;Stop Draggin&#8217; My Heart Around&#8221;<br \/>6. &#8220;The Lighthouse&#8221; (Live debut)<br \/>7. &#8220;Gypsy&#8221; (Fleetwood Mac song)<br \/>8. &#8220;Wild Heart&#8221; \/ &#8220;Bella Donna&#8221;<br \/>9. &#8220;Stand Back&#8221;<br \/>10. &#8220;Free Fallin'&#8221; (Tom Petty cover)<br \/>11. &#8220;Gold Dust Woman&#8221; (Fleetwood Mac song)<br \/>12. &#8220;Angel&#8221; (Fleetwood Mac song) (First Time Since &#8216;The Wild Heart Tour&#8217; in 1983)<br \/>13. &#8220;Edge of Seventeen&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>Encore:<\/em><br \/>14. &#8220;Rhiannon&#8221; (Fleetwood Mac song)<br \/>15. &#8220;Landslide&#8221; (Fleetwood Mac song)<\/p>\n<div class=\"photogallery-wrapper blog-photogallery \">\n<h2 class=\"photogallery-title\">Ranking Every Stevie Nicks Solo Album<\/h2>\n<div class=\"photogallery-description\">\n<p>Fleetwood Mac made her a star, but her own records also helped seal her legend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"photogallery-credit\">Gallery Credit: Annie Zaleski<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/rest\/carbon\/api\/scripts.js?mver=160&#038;gver=6&#038;bid=295&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fbtloader.com%2Ftag%3Fo%3D5642230212591616%26upapi%3Dtrue&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.p-n.io%2Fpushly-sdk.min.js%3Fdomain_key%3DmxuuNIMSzp6MHphJEoAGlLFQ3qmwQguzkGZl&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Ftownsquare.media%2Fpublic%2Fresources%2Fjs%2Fpubcid.min.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fplatform.twitter.com%2Fwidgets.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fapis.google.com%2Fjs%2Fplatform.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.facebook.net%2Fen_US%2Fsdk.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.pinterest.com%2Fjs%2Fpinit.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\" async defer data-osano=\"ESSENTIAL\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/stevie-nicks-tour-launch-2025\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stevie Nicks finally kicked off her 2025 U.S. tour on Wednesday evening in Portland, Oregon.
