“I’m getting older too,” is the refrain from the famous Fleetwood Mac song “Landslide.”
It’s a fitting lyric for Stevie Nicks, who at 62 doesn’t quite have the range she once had.
Still, I’m not sure she needs to hit all the notes anymore. Her voice still is as distinct and deep as it ever was.
She is touring with another veteran rocker, Rod Stewart, 66, in a concert called “Heart and Soul.”
They’ve been across the country now, reportedly singing a lineup of their hits, including “Landslide.” (Nicks sang the song with Sheryl Crow on Oprah Winfrey’s “Women Who Rock” show.)
Stewart is known for his raspy voice, Las Vegas-style get-ups, spiked blond hair and classic ballads. He’s said to be in good form most nights and making audiences swoon with classics including “Maggie May” and “Do You Think I’m Sexy?”
Don’t expect a duo all night long. The two iconic singers spend most of the time doing their solo acts with Nicks sitting in on a few songs with Stewart.
Sure, they are getting older but, if nothing else, time has made them bolder.
7:30 p.m. Saturday; KeyArena, 305 Harrison St., Seattle. Tickets are $49.50 to $149.50; ticketmaster.com or 800-745-3000.
