Concert review: Odd couple Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks offer fun night at U.S. Bank Stadium

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:13:58 GMT

If Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks seem like an odd combination, well they are. He’s a steely, populist New Yorker, while she’s a dramatic hippie witch from Phoenix. And yet, the pair delivered a delightful and nostalgic evening Friday at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, even if they took two quite different approaches.Nicks amped up the moody atmosphere for her set, a blend of her solo hits and some of the songs she wrote for Fleetwood Mac, and wore a series of her famous shawls. Early on, she told the crowd one of her backup singers tested positive for COVID that morning and Nicks’ vocal coach was filling in. Nicks said it would sound a little different and it did, particularly during “Edge of Seventeen” and “Landslide.” A bit distracting, but not enough to be a game changer.As for Nicks, she sounded terrific. Now 75, she twirls slower than she used to, but she can still sing. Whether she was belting out “Stand Back” or bringing the audience in with “Dreams,” Nicks ...

After two wins, San Jose Sharks get reality check from defending Cup champs

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:13:58 GMT

The San Jose Sharks did just enough to beat the Philadelphia Flyers and Edmonton Oilers earlier this week to pick up their first two victories of the season.But let’s be honest: the inconsistent Oilers and Flyers are not the Vegas Golden Knights, and the reigning Stanley Cup champions demonstrated that on Friday night and handed the Sharks a 5-0 loss at T-Mobile Arena.The Sharks allowed goals to Alex Pietrangelo and Alec Martinez in the first 11:19 of the first period and never recovered as they fell to 0-6-0 on the road this season.On both goals, the Sharks (2-11-1) didn’t do a good enough job of gapping up in the neutral zone, allowing the Golden Knights (12-2-1) to enter the offensive zone with too much speed.Sharks goalie Kaapo Kahkonen looked shaky on the Pietrangelo goal just 1:00 into the first, as he got caught out of position on the left side of his net, allowing Pietrangelo to score his first of the season on a wraparound shot.Kahkonen mostly settled down after that —...
