Crystal Visions is Stevie Nicks best work as a solo singer. The quality of the recordings is excellent and the remix and live performances are some of her best.

A superior collection, balanced and full of gems, Landslide with the symphony is so beautiful and Edge of 17 so powerful. Rock'n'Roll is amazing and the videos, Oh the videos!! Buy this today.

THIS IS A GREAT VIDEO OF STEVIE ! I REALLY ENJOYED IT, AS SHE ADDS HER INSIGHT INTO EVERY VIDEO.

Mixing material from her Fleetwood Mac salad days with highlights from her successful solo career, Stevie Nicks has a nifty collection on her hands with "Crystal Visions."

Far better than past compilations like "Timespace, there are few complains to be made about "Crystal Visions." It would have been nice to see Fleetwood Mac's gorgeous Top 10 classic "Sara" included, not to mention the Top 40 gem "All the Glitter Fades." Also, the Deep Dish remix of the willowy, graceful classic rock radio gem "Dreams" from Mac's classic "Rumours" LP does not do the song justice, whereas Tracy Young jaw-droppingly brilliant remix of "Planets of the Universe" that reached #1 in the clubs in 2001 would have been a far more interesting choice than the album version. Nevertheless, at nearly 80 minutes in length, it is hard to find any real fault with this collection.

Track after track, Nicks reminds that she has set a very high standard in rock that few have rivaled. Recent live recordings of Mac classics like "Rhiannon" and "Landslide" are passionate and full of depth, and the same goes for an extended length rendition of the "Edge of Seventeen" done with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in 2006. Both the live version and the original bookend the disc.

The hits sound fresh as ever, owing to Nicks' longevity. "Silver Springs" still shimmers and sparkles with melodic craftmanship and lyrical intensity, and 80's hits like "Stand Back" and "I Can't Wait" make for jubilant fun. Smash duets with Tom Petty ("Stop Draggin' My Heart Around") and Don Henley "Leather and Lace") further enhance the collection. She even does as a live take on Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll."

In addition, the CD/DVD edition is worth the extra money to the more devoted fans. An assortment of videos are including, all with intriguing commentary from the woman herself. Documentary footage from the recording sessions for her solo debut "Bella Donna" is also an engaging treat.

the woman is just so real. when she is talking about the videos at times she is funnier than any comedian and i dont think she even realizes it. i really wish we would have some new music by stevie as i wasn't crazy about another greatest hits collection but this one is truly special.

The CD is good for Stevie's own music. And it is worth what I paid here. She can write and sing with the best of them. But honestly I like Fleetwood mac and both of them together.

The video makes it worth it and there are some new versions of a few songs.
I bought this because I am a huge fan, and the reviews said you gotta see the dvd. The inside look in her own words is a really nice thing and I thing it also clears up misconceptions some people seem to have about her music. Stevie Nicks is a great artist and there will never be another like her. I highly reccomend this disk set, even if you have some of these songs.

If your a Stevie fan you'll really like having the great videos
along side all of these great songs. Only one question. What took
so long? I also have to say the live versions are a big plus as
well as a few other surprises. Stevie also gives us some of her
thoughts on a few cuts as well. Stevie , Keep on Rockin!

The Live Tracks are Awesome and so is the rest of the CD.DVD is Great,The footage of the making of Belladonna plus the DVD of the video's

I was very impressed with the quality of the cd/dvd packaging and the item itself. The price was great and now I can listen to her in my car and still see her great videos of the same songs on my tv. I'm very happy overall...Thanks!

As with anything Stevie Nicks - I eagerly awaited the arrival of "Crystal Visions", and it doesnt disappoint.

Although some of the songs have been covered before in the Enchanted Enchanted: The Works of Stevie Nickscollection, the extra features included in this set are well worth the purchas - Including audio from her Melbourne concert in January 2006.

As for the DVD - there is clips and concert footage that I hadnt seen before that I am now very happy to have in my collection.

It is worth the money for the DVD alone! I have all her cd's and all her videos including the ones in concert with and without Fleetwood Mac so I was really skeptical about getting something new with this cd/dvd compilation. It wasn't until I checked out the reviews from Amazon that i realized she added her own personal commentary on her videos. it is SOOOOO worth it for that alone! She cracked me up! Totally unepected. I was pleasantly surprised at how she absolutely does NOT take herself too seriously. so even if you have all her previous cd's, and dvd's. please consider getting this. there is definitely NEW material here. The makings of Belladonna were revealing too. really really good stuff here.

An excellent compilation of the greatest hits. If your a "new" fan looking to hear some of the more popular songs from this artist--here's a one-stop shop! Great sound quality on the "live" songs.

Stevie Nicks is my all time greatest female vocalist. I loved this CD. The DVD disk that accompanies it is a real bonus! At the end of the DVD were the best clips...Stevie in the recording studio just being Stevie. You really got to see her at her most natural. I thought adding those video clips were a great treat for her fans. I did miss Beauty and the Beast though...I wish she would have included that song in this collection.

The CD is fabulous, of course, but the real surprise was the DVD. If you watch the videos with the commentary on it's a real treat. Stevie gives us an insight into what was going on in her life at the time each of the videos were made and she does so with a sincerity and self-effacing sense of humor. Very nice. I was fortunate enough to have caught this tour in Norfolk and I will forever treasure the experience in my memory. Every track is a hit. I just don't see any talent like this out there on the scene today. There will never be another Stevie Nicks. Great stuff.

If you are a Stevie Nicks lover like me then you will love this DVD/CD!
The commentary on the videos is great to listen to she is funny, as well as talented.

It "don't get not better" than Stevie, and these are all her best tracks on video!!

I love the DVD with this set. It has older videos of Stevie's music--always great to watch & listen too. The CD has a lot of her songs that I already have on other CD's, but, hey--who can ever get enough of Stevie?? It's a nice addition to my collection.

As a diehard Stevie fan for over 20 years, even I was a little skeptical about another "Greatest Hits" compilation. After all, I own "Timespace" and "Enchanted." Nevertheless, I made the purchase, more interested in the accompanying DVD than the CD.

Was I in for a surprise . . .while I do agree with other reviewers that the CD is missing some key Stevie songs, some of the remixes on here are just incredible. I especially enjoyed the "club remix" of "Dreams."

The real gem in this purchase, however, is the DVD. Seeing these old videos again was amazing. What I got the most enjoyment out of was listening to the commentary Stevie provided about each video. You feel like she is watching the videos with you, filling in the blanks behind the storyline of the videos, remembering details even she has forgotten as she watches these long-lost treasures. Additionally, in each video, she comments on her wardrobe and especially her hair, which is hysterical!

A must-have for any Stevie fan. You will listen and watch over and over again.

It's alright, especially if you have no Stevie Nicks product. If you have the boxset Enchanted and the Best of...Timespace, then pass GO and go straight to them. No purpose in this product other than a concert tour tie in and you can purchase this along with tickets to her show currently running. I saw her this week in Albuquerque along with my teenage daughter whom kept me grounded when she said she was just 'plain vanilla'...and why does she change costumes so often when they each look the same? AND can you tell me why her concert tee shirts are $35 and $45??? This CD is only for beginners, training wheels not necessary.

This is a great CD/DVD. I would recommend this to everyone. We went to see her in concert last weekend and were blown away.

Rating CD Only: I feel that Stevie Nicks is a great talent, but The CD sounds very flat. There's no pizzazz to it; boring to listen to. This in no way reflects on the artist, it reflects on the way the CD was produced, remixed or whatever.

This CD/DVD is truly for a Stevie Nicks fan. All great songs and plus having the videos from her songs is a extra plus !!! A must to have !!

I love this cd/dvd she is a superstar best of the 70's & 80's rock era the songs are the best written very well love the videos they fit perfect with songs you just want to sing along with it puts you in a upbeat mood!

This set is incredible, the 5.1 is great! DVD rocks as does the CD, I have almost every Stevie album and all the greatist hits cd's and this set is incredible in comparison. THe pics in this set are awesome as is Stevie....

Once again, Stevie Nicks gives us her best. She always does because she doesn't know how to do anything less. This prolific singer/songwriter/poet, (I think of her as a poet), is truly amazing. I love the live versions of "Landslide" (my favorite Nicks song) and "Edge of Seventeen" with the Melbourne Symphony.

The videos are fantastic as well! Seeing the "Scarlet Version" of "Stand Back," especially with Stevie's commentary was hilarious. I highly recommend watching them with her commentaries. She's great! I had never seen the video for "Whole Lotta Trouble" another one of my favorites and I was there when she filmed it in Houston, Texas that night. I got a real kick out of putting the video on slow track in the beginning and seeing myself.

If you are a Nicks fan, this is a "must have." If you have never listened to Stevie Nicks before or don't even know who she is (hard to imagine), BUY IT. You will NOT be disappointed!!!

Just great to have old classics redone with modern twists! Hopefully a Melbourne DVD will be next. A great add to any collection. AMAZING Bella Donna studio footage I could have watched for hours. Commentary very insightful and funny and gives a great glimpse into Stevie's thoughts and humor.

Stevie at her best and what a treat it is to see her at the various stages of her career. Always a hottie, she sizzles at times on this CD. Anyone who is a Stevie Nicks fan will love this CD, with songs and clips from Her early days right up to the present.

Sometimes it's a bit too easy for me to laugh at Stevie Nicks' `good witch' image, with the silken capes and all the twirling about, but the last laugh has always been on me, because her music always manages to leave a mark. Looking back, I might chuckle now at some of the dated imagery and her huge hair, and cringe a bit at the dated production values, but her songwriting and songcraft is no laughing matter. Her contribution to Fleetwood Mac has been monumental, and as evidenced by this collection, she has also fared quite well as a solo artist.
"Crystal Visions" focuses exclusively on the solo output of Stevie Nicks, so fans of "Rumours" or "Fleetwood Mac" may be disappointed to learn that only one song here features her uber-famous bandmates ("Silver Springs"). The balance consists mostly of huge solo hits such as "Edge of Seventeen," "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" (a duet with Tom Petty), "Stand Back" and "Leather and Lace" (another duet, this time featuring Don Henley). "Dreams" and "Rhiannon" are also here, but in alternate or live versions that are mostly disappointing because they suffer from comparisons to the familiar versions that have become a part of America's collective unconscious. "Rhiannon" kicks off as a lugubrious piano ballad that soon morphs into a reasonable facsimile of the hit version. Comparably, "Dreams" fares much worse, because the synthesized dance-floor production is too trendy and has aged poorly.
If any song should have been revisited, my vote would have been for a complete reinvention of "I Can't Wait." My ability to fully appreciate "Crystal Visions" is occasionally hampered by the 1980s production values, and "I Can't Wait" serves as a perfect metaphor for everything bad about that era. If you can listen through the haze of tacky synthesizers and processed drumbeats, there is a good song underneath it all, but it takes effort to see the beauty underneath the excessive makeup. "Talk to Me" suffers similarly, with booming percussion and echo effects that render it into something Scandal might have recorded (not a good thing in my book). Surprisingly, though, Nicks avoids this trap on most tracks here, and the result is ultimately quite pleasant, if not perfect. A second DVD disk features a generous offering of videos, all of which are accompanied by an optional commentary track. Throughout, Nicks is focused and informative, and the insights of her commentary provide another excellent reason to obtain this collection, especially if you've been a longtime fan. Additionally, the booklet's liner notes are also very generous and a fun read. B+ Tom Ryan

First of all, the packaging for Crystal Visions (CD/DVD)is a real work of art. The songs are her best material & just to spice it up, there are some new cuts tossed in, like "Rock & Roll(Live)" and I LOVE the unique arrangement on "Dreams"(with Deep Dish). The CD is excellent (16 tracks), but the DVD is OUTSTANDING! Best collection of Stevie Nicks videos I've ever seen & it's all on one disc! Even if a person owns no other material by Stevie, this collection is so good it stands alone on its merit & is definitely worth buying.

The cd/dvd combo was put together very nicely! This is the Stevie we've listin to and loved all these years. Make sure to check out her own comments on the dvd. Stevie Nicks is the Gypsy that steals your heart with her voice and her looks....

What could you not love about this cd/dvd? 16 of her greatest hits & 13 music videos with commentary. Priceless...

Stevie Nicks's new CD is an excellent complilation of songs and I absolutely adore the DVD with all her music videos. And the best part? The behind the scenes making of Belladonna. This sums it all up: "Once in a million years a lady like Her, rises." Hope you guys and gals enjoy!

Stevie Nicks at her best. The live recordings with the Melb Symphony Orchestra are fantastic and you can hear the edge and depth to the voice that has made Stevie Nicks the legend she is. Even tho i already own all her other works, i wouldn't miss out on this cd/dvd.
