In May 1983, during the US Festival in San Bernardino, California, Stevie Nicks performed "Gold Dust Woman," a standout track from Fleetwood Mac's iconic album "Rumours," which had been released in 1977. By this time, Nicks was well-established as a solo artist, having released her debut solo album, "Bella Donna," in July 1981. This album achieved significant commercial success, reaching multi-platinum status and solidifying her status as a major figure in rock music.
