Nicks couldn’t leave out the hits, of course. She also sang a few covers, the highlight being a heartfelt and powerful cover “Free Fallin'” looking up to the sky and her old friend Petty towards the end.
There were deep cuts such as “If Anyone Falls,” and Rock A Little‘s “I Sing For the Things,” a song Nicks is playing live for the first time on this tour. Nicks’ set continued with even more unexpected moments. We soon were regaled with tourmate Billy Joel’s presence on “Stop Dragging My Heart Around ” he took the stage in a party mask, singing Tom Petty’s verse before revealing his face for the chorus. Nicks opened her set with “Outside the Rain” - appropriate given the thunderstorm forecast and tornado warnings we spent all day monitoring on our Accuweather apps - followed by its sister song “Dreams.” The crowd was pleasantly surprised by the Fleetwood Mac classic turned Tik Tok sensation appearing so early in the set, but that was not the only surprise.

And for the performers’ part, both artists sounded stellar, were backed by exemplary bands, played a robust mix of hits and deep cuts, and put their lively personalities on full display. The Philadelphia crowd was made up of life-long fans who probably first heard both artists on WIOQ 40 years ago younger fans experiencing Nicks and Joel for the first time and the crossover of parents in collective rapture with their children. Both artists have been active since the late 60s both are behind an array of hit songs stretching into the 90s, and their popularity extends to present day, with a strong cross-generational appeal. It’s easy to understand why a double-header of pop songwriting icons Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks drew a capacity crowd to Lincoln Financial Field on Friday night.
