Nicks’ moving moment dedicated to her Fleetwood Mac bandmate and best friend was an emotional highlight of the night, while Joel’s catalog of hits had fans dancing and singing throughou…
That speaks to the confidence of an entertainer who hasn’t released an album of new material since 1993, but still feels fine to leave the No. 1 hit “Tell Her About It,” out of his show, while giving his guitar player, Mike DelGuidice, the spotlight to sing the Puccini aria “Nessun dorma” with Joel as his accompanist.
The ballad “Just the Way You Are” wasn’t originally going to make his 1977 breakout album “The Stranger,” but then singer Linda Ronstadt urged him to reconsider, Joel said before playing the sax-infused ballad that went on to win the Grammys for record and song of the year. The five-song encore opened with a trio of upbeat rock tunes, including the No. 1 hit “We Didn’t Start the Fire,” for which Joel strapped on a guitar, and then “Uptown Girl” and “It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me,” both of which he sang while roaming the stage, twirling his mic stand like the frontman he insisted earlier in the night he really wasn’t.
Nicks has a thinner solo catalog than Joel, but her show Friday felt full thanks to the addition of a handful of songs she wrote and sang as a member of Fleetwood Mac, and a few choice covers including Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth,” a ’60s protest song she said she chose for its relevance still today, and “Free Fallin’,” a Tom Petty solo tune that served as a tribute to her friend and collaborator.
