Stevie Nicks: Through the Looking Glass

A decent overview of Stevie's career
"Stevie Nicks ~ Through The Looking Glass" is a surprisingly well done documentary on the career of Stevie Nicks. It covers the years 1966 until 2013. Along the way a ton of vintage video clips, interviews and performances, and photos are shown. New interviews are done with producer Keith Olsen, Rick Vito, Ken Caillet and a few others. Stevie herself is shown in archive interview footage. For the most part this is a good overview of her career, if you're a long time fan you won't learn anything new really, but it's a worth a look. It's two hours long, but the first hour alone covers the albums "Buckingham Nicks" thru "Tusk" (1973-1979). The next 55mins cover "Bella Donna" thru "Street Angel" (1981-1994) and the last five minutes brings us up to day very quickly. It's done better than expected and the vintage footage (most of which is probably out on YouTube) is a plus.

Skip it
I've been a Stevie fan for 34 years, so trust me when I say that I'm one of those rabid fans who buys every and all things
'Mac. While there were some pics and clips I hadn't seen before, a lot of it was recycled interview segments. Recent interviews were not with Stevie and were flat. It covered a great deal of her work with the band, but very little of her solo work and completely glazed over the last ten years.

Save your money. It's pretty bad when this rabid fan starts to fall asleep during the viewing of this DVD.

Cute, Quaint Documentary
Being a Stevie collector since 1986, there is not much more to learn or see. But, this is a great add for the collection with lots of interviews both from Stevie but mostly about her from Producers, Critics, and Rick Vito. It was nice to have Rick Vito there as someone whos actually created and performed along side Stevie. Nice selection of photos and concert clips made the 2 hours fly by. Definitely for those who are collector's already, but for newbies I would suggest the book "Read Between my Lines" or watch VH1 Behind the Music as they are much more in depth. Enjoyed it though!
