Stevie Nicks, Don Henley
By Deborah Wilker
Bottom line: Dream bills don't get much better than this magical pairing, which deserves a longer run.

Big-ticket heritage acts have been propping up the listing concert business for years now, and if this is the way it must be, the industry would do well to take a close look at a novel (but too-brief) new tour from Stevie Nicks and Don Henley -- one of the most magical rock shows in a long while.
More than just the standard double bill, these songwriting legends (and fronts for two of the greatest bands of all time, Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles) work hand in hand, interpreting each other's stuff in a way rarely done by truly big stars.
On the second night of this 10-date swing, Henley, up first, got things rolling with some dry wit and a well-received "Witchy Woman." Quickly he was into the big stuff -- "Hotel California" -- during which Nicks sauntered in from the wings to join him, setting off the kind of frenzied, organic ovation that touring's modern-day corporate labs simply cannot manufacture.
Superstar pairings are best, of course, when there is mutual admiration between the artists and a career path that is somehow parallel yet also different -- as with Billy Joel and Elton John. Tortured friendships are also great for the boxoffice (Eric Clapton and George Harrison) -- and if the two were also lovers back in the day, well, that's a grand slam.
Henley and Nicks -- both pioneering California rockers -- were indeed an item in the late 1970s (after her split from FM bandmate Lindsey Buckingham) and have remained friendly. While they don't quite set off the unrequited sparks that the Nicks/Buckingham-led Mac still produces to this day, there is a familiarity about them that lends both comfort and renewal to hits such as "The Last Worthless Evening" (his) and "Gold Dust Woman" (hers).
On this particular night, there was also a defiant "Stop Dragging My Heart Around," a wistful "New York Minute" and their lone hit together, 1981's "Leather and Lace."
Each also worked hard separately. From his seemingly inexhaustible supply of frothy radio singles and sturdy album tracks, Henley pulled out "Dirty Laundry," "Life in the Fast Lane" and the brilliant "Heart of the Matter." Nicks, who only gets better with age, countered with an ethereal "Rhiannon," and dramatic versions of "Stand Back," "Edge of Seventeen" and others from her long career, all set off by her usual costume array of flowing ribbons, scarves and ponchos.
Though this terrific evening ran almost three hours, there was still a lot missing, including the rumored set-closer "Desperado" -- something they're bound to get to if this limited run becomes the full-fledged tour promoters are said to be banking on for next year.

It was a meeting of two great classic rockers, the mystic and the cynic, last night at the Tweeter Center.
As the respective superstars from the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac, it seems odd that Don Henley and Stevie Nicks had never teamed up for a tour before.
But the Eagle and the Nightbird made up for lost time by taking wing for a splendid three-hour performance.
As he's proven in recent Eagles outings, Henley has barely shaved a note off of his impressive vocal range. Although he seemed to occasionally struggle with power during his smart hour-and-15-minute performance, he never wavered with pitch or control. He hit shiver-inducing high grace notes on the sinister bump and grind of ``Witchy Woman,'' the elegant ``Heart of the Matter'' and crowd favorite ``Boys of Summer.''
The set list was more like a hit list as he whipped through the still sadly prescient rocker ``Dirty Laundry,'' the mournful ``End of the Innocence'' and a white-hot ``Life in the Fast Lane.'' To thunderous applause - the two-thirds capacity crowd seemed to slightly favor Stevie - Nicks joined her one-time paramour for duets of ``Hotel California,'' ``New York Minute'' and ``Last Worthless Evening'' and their salt and sandpaper vocals were a warm match and helped inject new fire into the familiar songs. (And, at 57, they both looked great.)
Nicks cheekily played the ``Edge of Seventeen'' sampling ‘’Bootylicious’’ as an intro to her equally strong performance. While less hit-packed - and featuring some generous but time-sucking guitar and drum solos to cover her costume changes - Nicks pleased the faithful with solid vocal turns on the gauzy ``Rhiannon,'' the emotional piano ballad ``Beauty and the Beast'' and a truly scintillating ``Stand Back.'' Henley returned the favor in her set joining in Nicks-Tom Petty stomper ``Stop Draggin' My Heart Around.''
The duo closed out the night with a note-perfect rendition of their 1981 hit ballad ``Leather and Lace'' that found Nicks teasingly cooing ``take from me my lace'' and Henley sheepishly declining. It was a sweet moment that brought a beautiful evening of camaraderie to a warm close.
