Stevie Nicks

In May 1983, during a pivotal moment in her career, Stevie Nicks performed "Leather and Lace" at the US Festival in San Bernardino, California. This live recording occurred shortly after the release of her debut solo album, "Bella Donna," which dropped in 1981 and was a significant commercial success. At this time, Nicks was transitioning from her role as a leading member of Fleetwood Mac to a solo artist, carving out her own distinct identity in the music scene. "Leather and Lace," a duet co-written with Don Henley, became a staple in her performances and showcased her emotive vocal style. The US Festival performance not only highlighted Nicks' growing popularity but also demonstrated her ability to captivate a large audience, solidifying her status as a solo superstar. This era marked the beginning of Nicks' exploration of more personal themes in her music, laying the groundwork for her subsequent projects.
