Stevie Nicks Performs 'Rhiannon' Live at the US Festival, 1983

Venue: US Festival Location: Devore, CA, United States Date: May 28, 1983

In 1983, Stevie Nicks was at a pivotal point in her solo career, having released her debut album, "Bella Donna," in 1981. This album was not only a commercial success but also showcased her distinct voice and songwriting talents, leading to hits like "Edge of Seventeen" and, of course, "Rhiannon," which was originally featured on Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours." The performance at the US Festival on May 28, 1983, highlighted her rising prominence as a solo artist. Nicks had also just released her second studio album, "The Wild Heart," in 1983, which further established her as a powerful solo artist in the rock genre. Interestingly, the festival itself was significant, featuring an eclectic lineup and massive attendance, making her performance of "Rhiannon" memorable during a time when she was transitioning into a solo icon while still cherishing her roots with Fleetwood Mac.
