Stevie Is Irresistible In Rare 1975 “Rhiannon” Performance

The Goddess Speaks

In 1975, a young Stevie Nicks graced New Jersey’s Capitol Theatre telling a story of a young woman, a rare breed that leaves only destruction in her freed path…

“All your life you’ve never seen woman, taken by the wind. Would you stay if she promised you heaven? Will you ever win?”

No one else could deliver the haunting lyrics laced behind “Rhiannon” like the lovely Steve Nicks, as she especially shines like a beacon of eery rhythm and mystery on the Capitol Theatre stage.

Interesting Fact: Nicks started writing this song after reading the book Triad by Mary Leader. It is about a woman who believes she is being possessed by the spirit of a woman named Rhiannon.

We are so bewitched by the spirit that is Stevie Nicks, but this particular performance exposes the power and lasting presence that she brought to any and every platform.

Draped in trimmed chiffon and twirling like a star in the night sky, Stevie is and forever will be our siren.

+ Rhiannon Lyrics +

Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night
and wouldn’t you love to love her?
Takes to the sky like a bird in flight
and who will be her lover?
All your life you’ve never seen
woman, taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
She is like a cat in the dark
and then she is the darkness
she rules her life like a fine skylark
and when the sky is starless
All your life you’ve never seen
woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
will you ever win?
Will you ever win?
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
She rings like a bell through the night
and wouldn’t you love to love her?
She rules her life like a bird in flight
and who will be her lover?
All your life you’ve never seen
woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
will you ever win?
Will you ever win?
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Oooooh
Taken by
Taken by the sky
Taken by
Taken by the sky
Taken by
Taken by the sky
Dreams unwind
Love’s a state of mind
Dreams unwind
Love’s a state of mind
