Fleetwood Mac

[zeldabjr]

go good to hear that you loved it HB...hope you find Nancy...we don't want her lost...lol...can't wait to hear more!

[Prettymaid]

We want more. :hilarious:

[Brooke]

I saw LBT do The Chain too on the CMT awards last night and thought they did great! Keith Urban came in on guitar too a little later in the song. Love their harmonies!

[EaglesKiwi]

Fleetwood Mac have added a second show to Auckland, announced 6 days before the general sale started...

Within 15 minutes of general sale opening, BOTH shows were sold out!

There are some very unhappy people... glad I got my tickets thru the amex presale.

[EaglesKiwi]

There's now going to be a third Auckland show. Hopefully the scalpers get burned... and the genuine fans get to see them!

[Prettymaid]

Wow! Three shows! NZ loves The Mac!

that was fantastic. I tried to DVR it so I could see it again and I didn't do it right.

[SteveJoburg]

Downloaded the new Fleetwood Mac EP from iTunes on Soda's recommendation... Superb. Classic FM.

Hope a full length release will follow? :)

I wish it would but making Say You Will damn near killed them. I'll take whatever I can get though!

[WalshFan88]

A friend of my mom's has an acoustic duo that plays around the area - I just got a call from her that they want me to come play Lindsey's electric parts on Gold Dust Woman next weekend at their show... Love that song. I love playing it. They heard me play it at Ausfest and of course she sang it at Ausfest and so now they want me to come play it.

[sodascouts]

Congrats! Have fun with it!

[WalshFan88]

Thanks!

It's a fun one to play. Strat (what Lindsey used in the studio), slapback echo, and some compression. Really fun and really simple rig to play it.

[Houston Baby]

Awesome Austin!!! That is so cool! Sounds like you will have lots of fun!!:guitar:

[Brooke]

Good for you WF! Have fun!

[Prettymaid]

Love GDW!

[sodascouts]

Fleetwood Mac is playing the MGM Grand on Dec 30.

Hmmm.... this sounds familiar.....

The joys of having your two favorite bands managed by the same person, lol.

[Prettymaid]

I guess it's the place to play at year's end!

[secret squirrel]

So, have tickets for Fleetwood Mac at the 02 in London this month and just read this:

BBC Radio 2 host Johnnie Walker, who says he talked to McVie last week, reports (http://www.classicrockmagazine.com/news/fleetwood-mac-christine-mcvie-ready-to-play-again/), “I did put the question, ‘Christine, is there any likelihood you might join Fleetwood Mac on the U.K. shows?’ She said, ‘If they ask me, I’d play.’”

My Dad is going to be stoked as we got him a ticket too. It'd be fantastic if she joined them.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

WOW! What a treat that would be to see Christine join the band back on stage. I can't even imagine how exciting that would be!

[Prettymaid]

Yes, I saw this on FB (thanks Willie) and I was thrilled, as I have never liked the idea of FM without Christine. I hope they ask her and I hope she does it.

[WalshFan88]

Christine is great and I hope they do that.

That said, my fav is still Stevie. I wish I could have saw them in Chicago but it just wasn't possible. :(

[Brooke]

I'm surprised she has now decided that she might join them after quitting years ago.

I saw them in Chicago without her and they were still amazing! I like some of her songs, but prefer Stevie's and Lindsey's.

[sodascouts]

If we could get a confirmation that Christine was going to play at a certain date, I would seriously consider flying out there. This is EPIC!!!!!!

[Prettymaid]

How many years has she been gone?

[sodascouts]

Fifteen. She left before I became a hardcore, so I've never seen her live.

[Prettymaid]

Wow. I was guessing 10-12.

I've not read much, but it's my understanding that she left because she hated flying and also suffered from stage fright, but when you watch her on The Dance DVD she seems so comfortable.

[sodascouts]

Yeah. Honestly, I think there must be more to it than that, but I'm thrilled things appear to be changing for the better!

[Freypower]

I had no idea she left them so long ago, around the time my daughter was born. I had always assumed you had seen her live as you are such a fan.

[secret squirrel]

Well, basically, I don't think they could tour as Fleetwood Mac without Stevie or Lindsey because they're so crucial and I certainly wouldn't buy a ticket for a line-up that didn't include them but it would be amazing to have Christine back too ...

Nothing's confirmed and the shows will soon be upon us. Just hoping.

Just heard the news, saw the photo, saw the video....

Christine McVie played on a song with them tonight during the encore - Don't Stop. This is a truly historic moment - her first time on stage with them since 1998! I wish I could have been there to see it... I'm really emotional about it. I have never gotten to see her but just knowing that tonight, the five of them were once more together - and seeing the video - it's incredible. If only she would tour with them!

SS... Were you there tonight????

WOW! That is absolutely awesome. It would have been truly incredible to have seen that!

[sodascouts]

Yes, thank God!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bmHQ_7x_tg

[Houston Baby]

Unbelievable!!! I cannot even imagine what kind of thrill that was for the fans there. I am so happy even though I was not there. And I am sure there was many a tear in eyes cause I know I would have had them. Here's hoping that this is the beginning of a new chapter for them.

[Prettymaid]

I got a little emotional myself watching that. Obviously it would have been nice to have a front view, but it was still great. What made me emotional was hearing the crowd cheer for her. Maybe she'll do this at more shows. (Keep your fingers crossed, SS!)

[shunlvswx]

Christine still sounds great. I miss her in the group. I've never seen Fleetwood Mac in concert and I would had loved to be there.

When they sang together, it was like she never left. She just picked up where she left off. Wow. Its been 15 years since she retired.

[secret squirrel]

I'm going on Friday and apparently she's only going to join them for one more night. But see below:

http://ultimateclassicrock.com/christine-mcvie-fleetwood-mac-reunion-2/

They seem to think I might be lucky. Fingers crossed!

I was totally crying over it last night and I was lucky enough to see her with FM before her retirement.

[shunlvswx]

Here's another story on their reunion. That's cool that she will do two shows.

Well Stevie. Never say never.

Thanks PFD!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Oh wow, ss! We will certainly have our fingers and toes and everything else that we can cross for you to be able to see her tomorrow night. You will be very lucky indeed if that happens.

[Brooke]

Thanks for both views guys! :thumbsup:

Wow! I'm actually tearing up myself! Looks like a wonderful moment for all of them!

Christine looks absolutely amazing for her age!

Good luck ss!

[secret squirrel]

Thanks, everyone!

That would really make it for me! Never seen the Mac before.

Who says wishing and hoping doesn't work? Thanks, everyone. No pix from me I'm afraid as my camera's faulty at the mo. My friend took some but they didn't turn out that great.

Christine came on and sang Don't Stop! Brilliant. But it only makes you wish she would do Songbird too. Great gig. Three of us went but our tickets were all separate so didn't sit together. Didn't matter.

[Prettymaid]

Yay! You got to see history in the making!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Wow ss - how lucky you are to have been able to see Christine perform. I know lots of people (including a few here :wink: :wink: ) that would have given away body parts to have seen that. I'm not even a hardcore and I would have loved to have been there. What a memorable experience for you. :yay:

[sodascouts]

Yeah. You know it's one of those moments. First of all, I have to keep telling myself 'You're watching Fleetwood Mac! Live!' Then, even though Stevie had said Christine was there and dedicated Landslide to her, I didn't dare hope too much but then they brought on a little keyboard for her and we all knew it was really going to happen. Amazing!

[TimothyBFan]

I had really wished that a couple of our very avid FM fans had been able to see this. What a wonderful moment for any true FM fan this was, rather you were there or not.

[secret squirrel]

There were certainly people there I wondered about. I wondered why they spent £140 to come and talk ever more loudly all the way through one of Stevie's intros (the man next to me turned round and told them to shut up) or the same group yelling at Lindsey to 'Get on with it!' I think they'd just had too much to drink.

Or someone we know who admitted they didn't really know who Christine McVie was ...? So why are you going to see Fleetwood Mac?

On the whole, the crowd was great and respectful but there are always pockets of people who want to compete with whoever's on stage. Go have your own concert if that's the case.

Going to a gig soon and actually dreading what the audience might be like as most of the live stuff on YT has had raucous crowd members shouting/singing along. I've experienced this before and it's ruined the gig for me. I suppose it's worse when they're just shouting a random conversation over the music though.

Ugh. That's the worst. I was at a show Saturday night where that kept happening and they only got the clue after I had shot them a death stare 4 or 5 times. I understand there were 2 very different groups playing but some of us were there for the other band!

Sometimes, in smaller venues, the artist themselves will get involved. Jackie Leven and Grant Hart have both taken issue with idiots in the audience if they're just talking but when they're singing along, it's more difficult because they're showing their appreciation in a way but without any consideration for other people in the audience ...

Fleetwood Mac is having to cancel Australian tour dates so that John McVie can undergo cancer treatment.

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/entertainment/music/fleetwood-mac-calls-off-australian-tour/story-fni0bvjn-1226747836397

I wish John the best.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

sorry hear this. prayers for a speedy recovery :angel:

[sodascouts]

I just spent a couple hours trying to find out more about this. One media outlet said the "prognosis was good" but that's not been confirmed. Still, I'll cling to it.

PRAYERS FOR JOHN MCVIE!!!

[Freypower]

I was going to ask you about this when hubby told me about it. I'm glad I saw them on their previous tour here, because I wasn't going to this. Wishing him a full & speedy recovery.

[WalshFan88]

Get Well John.

[Houston Baby]

Positive thoughts & prayers for John Mc. Seeing them this past summer was a dream come true for me. It is one of my Top 10 concert experiences and it was so much fun sharing it with Sodascouts (FM expert & hardcore fan!)

[Ive always been a dreamer]

WOW - What a shocker. This is soooooo sad to hear. I know all of us are wishing John a full and speedy recovery and hope that he and Fleetwood Mac are back full speed in the near future.

GET WELL SOON JOHN!!!

[sad-cafe]

what horrible news.


so sad and my prayers have been said.

[Topkat]

Very sad to hear this news

[TimothyBFan]

Hoping for only the best for John!!

[Brooke]

Very sad news and I wish him all the best.

I got to see them for the first time in April and it was awesome!

[EaglesKiwi]

I too am sending prayers for John and his family, wishing him a speedy and fully recovery. I DID have tickets to the concert, and am heartbroken not to see them, but of course John's wellbeing is more important.

Sickness SUCKS. :-(

[zeldabjr]

such awful news to hear...sending prayers John's way!

[Brooke]

I've been hearing a guitar part of 'Never Going Back Again' on the recent Bank of America commercial on tv! Thought I should report!

The good news about John McVie and Christine making noises about coming back have me in high spirits regarding my Mac fandom. Hoping for the best!

I hope this happens, and with a minimum of alacrity, considering that Stevie has said she wasn't happy during the making of Say You Will. Having Christine there would probably make things easier for her.

I am hoping for a reunion CD from them like they did in 1998. They are my other favorite band next to the Eagles. I was glad to hear Christine wants to come back. All of them back together would be great. Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles are the soundtrack of my life.

Still freaking out right now.

TOUR DATES: http://www.fleetwoodmac.com/events

Definitely doing Newark, Philly, DC and Hartford.

Maybe Columbus.

Outside chance of Ft. Lauderdale or Tampa.

[WalshFan88]

Totally doing Chicago!!!!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Very happy for all you mac fans :thumbsup:

[sodascouts]

SO EXCITED!

I'm definitely doing Minneapolis (opening night) and Atlanta. I want to do Chicago but I'll have to figure out how to get the time off work. I also might consider the Florida dates, as those are after the summer ends and I have family in Florida.

I'd better decide quickly, though... presales start Monday!

We're in Row S for the DC show but still planning on trying to run. We'll just inch closer and closer as showtime approaches. Front row for Hartford though so no running necessary - just might scooch over to Christine's side.

[sodascouts]

Good luck! I've successfully gotten to the stage from that far back. It was in Houston, as HB can attest, lol. You can do it! Wootean power! ;)

Yes, I didn't believe she could do it from that far back but she did!! :hilarious: Soda has lots of tricks up her sleeve! I had a front row seat from the section right above the floor which is what I got this time too.

I'm hoping for some more dates so I might try and go for a meet & greet.

We're heading to Boston in October BUT I don't have any dates yet...I'm hoping I'll be able to get some kind of tickets for their show...I've decided it doesn't matter where we sit...just a chance to see Christine with the whole crew would be worth it, even sitting in the nosebleed section....:brickwall:

Congrats on the tickets, guys!

[WalshFan88]

Thanks!

I was happy with the tickets.

I would have preferred being front row directly in front of a certain band member (not saying who! :nahnah:) but hey 6th row in front of Lindsey playing guitar isn't bad either. ;)

[Houston Baby]

I heard "Landslide" on the way home tonight. Man it is going to seem like FOREVER until December!

[deb828]

Do you recommend buying tix at the pre-sale or waiting for the general public sale? I have looked at the AMEX presale, Facebook and Live Nation, but nothing great is coming up. I did better for the Eagles at the public sale.

[sodascouts]

The presales, as a rule, are CRAP.

I'm waiting for the general sale, and I recommend you do as well. Even if you don't get the best seats in the house, you'll probably do better than the back of the floor or the back of the lower bowl like the pre-sales are offering.

I thought the tix looked bad, but I am at work at 10 am on Monday, so will have to take my chances later in the afternoon.

[sodascouts]

What sucks for me is that I'm teaching when the Atlanta general sale starts. I won't be able to access TM until class ends at 9:50. :(

I'm hoping for more dates to be announced.

[deb828]

Yes, that sucks--I can't try for Columbus until 1pm.

[randysgirl]

I am so glad that Fleetwood Mac is truly back together with Christine and John both being included. I love Stevie's solo music also.

I remembered reading that Stevie dated Don Henley. To me, he looked similar to Lindsey Buckingham, especially when they both had the curly hair. Maybe that is her type.

[WalshFan88]

Tix came today!

Seat 14, Floor Section C, Row 6.

[sodascouts]

Excellent!

[prayfordaylight]

Here's hoping you guys did okay in the sales today.

I was hoping to improve my seats for one show (I'm in Row 19 on the floor) but I can't even get anything in the front half of the arena to come up. I'm not desperate to change my tickets, I just wanted to be a little closer. I'll have to see if there's a drop later.

[sodascouts]

Nothing but the back of the floor, if that, for Atlanta and Chicago in the general sales today. I'll wait and see what pops up later.

[deb828]

Nothing great popped up for Columbus by 1pm. I thought the prices were very high for the tickets left. I ended up going with level 2 because I did not see anything worth paying the level 1 price. But at least we are going :grooving:

Was just trying to let people know about the other cities adding extra dates and that tickets are already on sale for some so they need to prepare to act quickly.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

great idea :headbang:
some radio stations in the philly area are giving away tickets too.

I got pre sale codes from Live nation and wells fargo

[Glennhoney]

Got tickets for October 25th in Boston...they added an extra date...:razz:

[sodascouts]

yay! You'll love it!

[Houston Baby]

Way to go GH!!! :headbang:

[prayfordaylight]

Got tickets for October 25th in Boston...they added an extra date...:razz:

Woohoo!

[carol7lynn]

They dropped a few VIP tickets for two L.A. shows this morning-Nov. 29th (2 seats) and Dec. 6th (6 seats).

Be warned they are off-sides on Lindsey's side section D but they they are on the outside aisle giving you stage access if that's what you're looking for.

Just checked and they also released 5 VIP tickets for San Diego (Dec. 3rd)-section BBB-row 2. Much better seats for the price. One is almost dead center and one of the others is one from the aisle-Lindsey's side.

Good Luck!

[sodascouts]

Thanks for the heads up, C-L!

[prayfordaylight]

Passwords for this morning's presale for Chicago (2nd show on 10/3):

Live Nation: PRIORITY
Facebook: MAC
Venue/Radio Password: LANDSLIDE

Starts: Thursday, 04/17/14 10:00 AM CDT
Ends: Sun, 04/20/14 10:00 PM CDT

[Brooke]

Thanks pfd! I'm going to check them out!

[Brooke]

No luck! High demand! :sad:

Guess I will try again the 21st.

[Brooke]

Tried again and no luck. I was online TM on two browsers and the best seats I could get were in the back lower bowl or extreme side which would have been nearly behind the stage. Then after several attempts I got 'high demand' no seats available again. :sad:

[MaryCalifornia]

I for one would not be opposed to creating separate concert date threads for Fleetwood Mac here in Singing for the Sake of the Song - only for the shows that Borderers will attend. I really want to hear everyone's reports, and there seems to be enough interest from Borderers in general for FM, and enough going to shows, to warrant it. Just a suggestion.

That is up to Soda, but this is primarily an Eagles board. In my view it would be preferable for people to post their FM concert reviews in the dedicated FM thread. If we created separate concert threads for FM we would also have to do it for Jackson Browne & other artists that several Borderers go to see at the same time.

[Prettymaid]

... Jackson Browne.

:inlove:

Oops! Sorry! That little smiley seems to pop up anytime
I read his name! :mrgreen:

[MaryCalifornia]

Yeah, that's fine, I understand. I just don't want to miss any reviews or experiences. I guess they'll easy enough to find in the FP thread.

[prayfordaylight]

A master post of who is going to which show would help.

[sodascouts]

I like the idea of a master post. I guess it would just be one in here?

[Freypower]

I will tell you the idea I had which was to have a Sticky topic in Singing for the Sake of the Song which could list upcoming non-Eagles shows Borderers will be attending. You could include the FM & Jackson Browne dates & even my Rolling Stones date in November. You could update it when new dates are added the way you update the What's My Name thread. This would mean people posting in the Sticky thread as well as/instead of the relevant artist's thread. But if you think that's too complicated you could just do one for FM.

[sodascouts]

Hmm. Well, we could try it!

This is a fantastic interview with Christine! I don't think it has been posted here. I am so excited about this tour!!! :partytime:

[Brooke]

Great interview! She sounds so happy to be back with them! Good for her!

Thanks HB!

[sodascouts]

I can't freaking wait! But I'm in anguish about getting seats. Right now I only have a ticket for ONE SHOW - unacceptable!!!! I want to go to Atlanta but I'm worried I'll have to buy a broker ticket and unfortunately I blew most of my concert funds on our guys. I knew I should have saved up more money for Fleetwood Mac!

I'm hoping that they'll announce more dates, and I'm working some extra jobs this summer to replenish the concert fund. I gotta see more Mac! I mean, they've got CHRISTINE!!!

[prayfordaylight]

I did the opposite. I wavered on even going to one Eagles show this year because I said almost a year ago that if Christine comes back, all my concert funds are going towards that. It's KILLING me I can't go to Minneapolis (I just can't run off in the middle of the week). I can't complain with the 3 shows I've got planned though and hopefully more in the spring (please Charlotte or VA Beach!).

[deb828]

Loved the interview posted above. I have never seen Fleetwood Mac, and it has been a long time since I listened to them. But I am so excited about seeing them in October! Here's my question: there are so many FM albums, and I only own Greatest Hits,Behind the Mask and Tango in the Night. Anybody recommend the best CD's to buy so that I can be ready to enjoy the concert? I do find that I enjoy concerts more if I know most of the songs. Thank you for any suggestions!

At the very least, you should get a copy of Rumours or barring that, The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac is a great overall compilation.

[Brooke]

Rumours is my favorite, but love Fleetwood Mac, the album, too!

[deb828]

Thank you both! Have placed both of these on my library request list. Now that I see the covers, I think I may have had them in another format, maybe cassette/vinyl. (Back in the day, haha) I appreciate your help!

[Houston Baby]

I have been listening to The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac all day today! :nod:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

At the very least, you should get a copy of Rumours or barring that, The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac is a great overall compilation.

Totally agree with your recommendations, pfd. I'm going to the D.C. show and I'll also be a FM virgin! Hard to believe I've never seen them. It's been on my bucket list for a long time, but with Christine back, it's moved off the bucket list onto the 'Must do' list. :thumbsup:

I'm off to read Christine's interview now.

[sodascouts]

When I was first becoming a fan, after The Greatest Hits the albums I bought were the The Dance, Rumours and the eponymous album Fleetwood Mac (1975).

I believe Rumours to be the best album ever made.

[deb828]

Thanks!

[Brooke]

New interview with Christine and Lindsey!

http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/la-et-cm-fleetwood-mac-20140502,0,3614909.story#axzz30ZkqFCVm

This little line kind of bothered me a bit, but sounds like all is going well with them!

"Helping McVie write songs, Buckingham said to her, "is something you always wanted me to do for you, which was not necessarily the case with Stevie. She's a little more complicated in her needs."


:eyebrow: :lol:

[prayfordaylight]

It bugged me too. I think "Collaborating with McVie on songs" and "do WITH you" would've gone over a lot better. CMV doesn't need Lindsey's help writing seeing as how she's written the vast majority of the band's hits!

[sodascouts]

In addition to the Christine statement, his statement about Stevie is fueling a mentality among some Fleetwood Mac fans that she's not engaged and is holding up the process. There are some fans furiously condemning her, although we have no hard evidence that this is the case. I for one believe that she will do her part, and we will have a terrific new Fleetwood Mac album!

[carol7lynn]

It bugged me too. I think "Collaborating with McVie on songs" and "do WITH you" would've gone over a lot better. CMV doesn't need Lindsey's help writing seeing as how she's written the vast majority of the band's hits!

Lindsey, to his credit, did describe their efforts as collaborative and only professed to "helping her write songs."

Here is the entire quote from the article as it appeared at least in the home edition of the L.A. Times:

"This was a great collaboration (to wit:"Too Far Gone") Buckingham said. "I had a track without any singing on it, and she wrote the song over it."

"We've been doing that quite a bit lately haven't we?" McVie said.

Helping McVie write songs, Buckingham said to her, "is something you always wanted me to do for you which was not necessarily the case with Stevie. She's a little more complicated in her needs."

Randy Lewis, the author of the L.A. Times article, also stated that "Lindsey leans forward and side by side, they listen to the playback of "Too Far Gone" a danceable new Fleetwood Mac song they've written together......"

Hope these facts allay your fears about Lindsey taking too much credit where none is due.

I was well aware of the full quote before I posted. I could write an essay on my opinions but I'll just leave it at Lindsey occasionally has an overhealthy ego when it comes to this department.

[Brooke]

So, what is Stevie up to if not there helping out?

[prayfordaylight]

She's recording solo stuff with Dave Stewart in Nashville.

[deb828]

When I was first becoming a fan, after The Greatest Hits the albums I bought were the The Dance, Rumours and the eponymous album Fleetwood Mac (1975).

I appreciate the recommendations--I now have gotten all of these from the library (and more). I just want to say that I am in love with The Dance. Wow! Really enjoying these "new to me" CD's.

I hear that FW will be playing the fall concert series on the Today show on Thursday, 10/09/14.

[Houston Baby]

Watch for Soda!

[sodascouts]

Yes - it's happening over my October break. I'll be there!

Speaking of the Mac... just a few hours until I get to see them! Opening night - first time with Christine since 1998 -

SO FREAKING EXCITED!!!!

[WalshFan88]

Awesome!! Have fun.

Other than I just got diagnosed with a broken foot (metatarsal fracture), I'm looking forward to my concert on Thursday! lol I have a big compression boot to wear! I've been having pain since my birthday evening but xrays were clean, and I just now saw a specialist and got it xrayed again and sure enough, it's broken. No idea why the first one didn't catch it.

I'll still be there with my boot...can't miss this show!

[prayfordaylight]

I'd say have fun Soda but I know you will. I've already expressed my extreme jealousy ;-) (I only have to wait 11 more days though)

Austin - heal quickly and well! I had the same thing happen to me a few years ago - radiologist said my foot xray was clean and then I went to a podiatrist who told me it was definitely broken.

[MaryCalifornia]

Have a wonderful night, Nancy!!!!! It will be fabulous to see the whole gang back together and get to hear Christine sing with them again!:band:

[Brooke]

Fantastic!

Have fun Soda! :partytime:

[WalshFan88]

OMG.......Fleetwood Mac KILLED it tonight in Chicago. Top 2 concert for sure, the other being the Eagles HOTE show last year in St. Louis.

Seeing Stevie for the first time was out of this world. She's soooo beautiful and looked amazing tonight. And her voice is that of an angel....:heart: Lemme just say, I wish I was alive in the 70s... :heybaby:

Christine was AWESOME and you could tell she was truly joyed to be back with the band. Hearing You Make Loving Fun was a highlight for me, that's my favorite song of hers.

Lindsey blew my mind on the guitar!!! WOW. How he isn't in the top rock guitarists lists is beyond me. So melodic yet he can rock with the best of them. He was really energetic.

The band opened with The Chain and that was a great surprise. I didn't look at the setlist for this tour beforehand.

Here's a pic for now.....

http://i61.tinypic.com/vz7y8k.jpg

[Houston Baby]

Awesome Austin! I can't wait till December when they are here in Houston!

[prayfordaylight]

Thanks for the report Austin. I heard a little from Soda about Minneapolis as well.

I'm going crazy from the anticipation. 8 more days until my first show of the tour. AHHH!

[Brooke]

Thanks for the thoughts, Austin! I knew you would be blown away by Lindsey for sure! Glad you saw a great show! Can't wait to hear more!

[shunlvswx]

I watch some clips from the Minnesota show. They sounded great.

Fleetwood Mac is another band I would love to see in concert(and I can finally see Christine now she's back) along with the Eagles. One of these days I will see them. I heard they probably will put out a new album next year. So I will see what shows they will have for next year.

[sodascouts]

I'm sorry I've been mia but after that absolutely epic show, I managed to get sick, but nevertheless had to attend a conference the next day. Right now I'm in the airport, trying to post on my smartphone. It's challenging, so I'll save the longer review for later. However, it was definitely one of the most memorable concerts of my life.

[WalshFan88]

Longer review...

We got to the venue at 7PM, and slowly made our way to our seats. My foot was KILLING me, and that was after a Vicodin.... Then people wanted in and out of the aisle, and I busted my butt on the ground getting up one of the times and about pushed the row of chairs over. Yeah, not fun....

But the show was worth the suffering. They were phenomenal. Christine messed up the intro to Say You Love Me on keyboards and they had to stop and start over, but it was all in good fun and everyone had a laugh including the audience. Lindsey was on fire, and was totally killing it. Stevie looked better than ever I thought and really sounded great and strong.

All in all, a great show...

Sadly though, until I get my shortness of breath and mobility under control, this will likely be my last concert. I have another one in November and likely it will be my last and I'm contemplating selling my tickets.

I'm just not physically able to handle the walking and the getting up out of a chair anymore and walking up and down stairs. I have to do something and soon, as I feel that I'm about a second away from death's door...trying to lose weight and stay on top of the asthma and the pain from my back is challenging at best. I had sometime tell me at Ausfest that he wanted to see me standing up but it just can't happen. And it's not because of the foot being broken. It's because my physical condition is way down and I feel like all I do is sleep because of no energy. I was so short of breath coming down the stairs to the main floor I was going to pass out. Security came up to me and asked if I was alright, and I was but I was so winded I couldn't talk for minutes. I'm going to see my pulmonologist next week and I hope he has some answers. I know I need to get into better shape but that's hard to do when even shampooing your hair makes you winded and tired and couple that with joint pain.

But even if it was my last concert for a long while, it was a great note to end on...what an amazing band.

[Elizasong]

I'm glad you got to the show GlennFan. I hope your health gets better soon.. Take it a day at a time and you can make little improvements that you want. I'm sure another concert will be in your future before you know it.

[Witchy Woman]

I'm sorry to hear of your health troubles, Austin, but I'm glad you were able to enjoy the show. Don't delay in addressing your problems. It's important to take care of yourself.

[Brooke]

Austin, so sorry about your health issues, but glad you got to go to this show. I'm sure it was awesome!

Soda, I'm glad you're better and can't wait to hear all about your show!

[prayfordaylight]

Crazy Soda delayed her flight home from Chicago and went to last night's show as well. Can't wait to hear about that one too!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Wow! That girl does get around, indeed!

And thanks for your review, Austin. Glad you enjoyed the show so much and hope get on the mend soon.

[sodascouts]

I am crazy. I got stuck at the Chicago airport Friday thanks to delays caused by a sabotage incident last week, on the very day Fleetwood Mac was doing its second Chicago show just a few miles away. I couldn't stand it. Since I only had a carry-on, I decided - with a push from PFD - to change my flight, catch a cab to the show, buy a ticket last minute, and then come back and sleep at the airport. Fun fact I learned: Security lines at Midway don't open until 3:45 am.... But there's lots of places to sleep in ticketing and baggage claim!

I got a seat in the first level riser by the stage - it was probably an unused comp. Great view of Lindsey especially - hot stuff! It was his birthday, but the band didn't acknowledge it. Perhaps he asked them not to. It wasn't as good as opening night overall, but a few of the songs were tighter.

I had a fantastic time, but managed to set back my progress health-wise! I'm trying to rest at home now; I'm coughing and feverish again. I'm rethinking my trip to New York next week - can I really handle waiting outside in the wind and cold for hours before dawn in order to see the Mac perform for the Today show? Still deciding.

Speaking of health... Sorry you're dealing with so much, Austin! Best wishes and prayers for you!

[WalshFan88]

Sorry to hear you're sick Soda...get well soon!

I would have loved to been at opening night but my concert was great for me.... I really enjoyed it. Definitely a top 2 concert for me, and I've seen a ton of great bands. The other being the Eagles last year on HOTE tour.

Now to just get to a Stevie solo show sometime to hear Edge Of Seventeen!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Here's an interview with the Today show...

[prayfordaylight]

Sorry you're still sick but don't blame me for pushing you towards the right decision ;)

[Brooke]

Soda, sorry to hear you are sick and hoping you are feeling better today! Too cool you got to go to another show though! What a dedicated fan!

[sodascouts]

Thanks! ;)

Sadly, the Today show trip is officially off. This is not only because I feel under the weather, but because my department chair died and her funeral is Thursday.

[Houston Baby]

Oh Soda, I am so sorry about your dept. chair. She will be missed at the college, her dedication was an inspiration.

And I hope you will be feeling better soon.

[sodascouts]

Well, I may not be able to be AT the Today show tomorrow, but for a segment promoting it, they used some footage from the meet'n'greet I attended in Minneapolis.

You can see me for a split second with a group of friends getting our photo taken with Mick Fleetwood around 2:01 (I'm right beside him):

http://www.today.com/video/today/56196586#56196586

Yeah, it's only for a nano-second, but it still makes me feel cool. ;)

[Houston Baby]

You look gorgeous Soda! LOVE your top! And how cool, now you have been on the Today show! :thumbsup:

Are you feeling better?

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Too cool, Soda! Wow!

I hope you get to feeling better, though, and I'm sorry to hear about your department chair...

[Brooke]

Very cool, Soda!

And I hope your feeling better too!

[zeldabjr]

Soda...you are a star!!! very cool...I just found out FM is coming to Buffalo in Jan...thinking of going...

[sodascouts]

I thought I was feeling better, but as I was leaving the church after the funeral I had a mortifying coughing fit that went on sporadically for about 10 min. I don't have any more fever or sneezing, but this cough is awful!

At least I had fun watching the Mac on the Today show even though I couldn't be there, and I'm excited about the new dates. I'm doing Little Rock and Nashville for sure, maybe Charlotte. Fun times in the spring!

[prayfordaylight]

Come to Charlotte with us!

I'm also looking at Atlantic City and Charlottesville on the next leg.

My first show of this leg is FINALLY tomorrow. Can't freaking wait!

[Brooke]

pfd, have fun! I know it will be awesome!

[sodascouts]

HB and I are thinking of Charlotte. It would be fantastic to see you again and other Mac friends... some of which I haven't seen in a LONG LONG TIME! It's a 10-hour drive though so I'm trying to figure out how to make it work.

[prayfordaylight]

Charlotte may not happen now. Looking at Knoxville instead if that works better.

Last night was incredible. I can't wait to see them again in 3 weeks.

[deb828]

Love the photo, Soda. So cool.

[sodascouts]

Fleetwood Mac has joined the Eagles in having a "first row VIP package" in addition to the "regular" one, starting its next leg (which has just been announced (http://www.billboard.com/articles/6281360/fleetwood-mac-new-tour-dates)). Both feature a meet'n'greet with Mick, though, so at least you get a band member with FM! lol

http://tbarena.com/shared/event_detail.aspx?EventID=507168&WebLink=12F.1AFE2&xml_path=undefined

My concern is that they might start doing a "only first row gets to stand at the stage" policy which would REALLY put a cramp in my style. No more standing at the stage at Mac shows would make me very sad. :(

If opening night was indeed my last time at the stage, at least I went out with a bang.

[prayfordaylight]

Makes me glad I'm doing VIP in a few weeks with front row seats I didn't have to pay extra for. I share your fear that might end the first few rows being able to go up.

[WalshFan88]

I forgot to mention that one of my highlights of Chicago's concert was Second Hand News. I'm addicted to that song now. It's so uplifting and upbeat - you can't help but to move!

[Prettymaid]

I forgot to mention that one of my highlights of Chicago's concert was Second Hand News. I'm addicted to that song now. It's so uplifting and upbeat - you can't help but to move!

Second Hand News is a great song and a great opener for Rumours. I always wondered about the lyrics, though. If they're breaking up, why does he want to " lay me down in the tall grass and let me do my stuff"? Or maybe I don't want to know... :blush:

[WalshFan88]

Second Hand News is a great song and a great opener for Rumours. I always wondered about the lyrics, though. If they're breaking up, why does he want to " lay me down in the tall grass and let me do my stuff"? Or maybe I don't want to know... :blush:
Same here! I wondered what it meant since it's a breakup song. According to some people, it's a reference for doing drugs, but I think my mind went to the same place yours did. :hilarious:

[sodascouts]

To me, it suggests Lindsey attempting to solve their problems with sex. He has said that their sexual chemistry was "excellent" in his words lol. Maybe he feels, if she would just let him "do his stuff", she'd change her mind and he'd no longer be "second hand news." Apparently he is confident in that way at least, he is the man who will satisfy her when she "can't get enough" with this new guy.

The song, which combines defiance with desperation, is very human. Lindsey has said that he didn't want to let go and that her "specter" crippled his ability to love someone else for years. Stevie certainly emphasizes that she was the one who left often enough. Still, no one wants to look weak, so declaring he won't miss her even in the midst of attempting to get her to connect with him again shows that inner conflict. I think that Lindsey felt most in control when they were having sex because she kept coming back for that even when they weren't a couple. This song centers around that sense of power over her that he wants to feel again since right now, he's being "tossed around" emotionally by her.

At the very least, even if they don't have a strong relationship where she can't get "peace of mind" and he supposedly "ain't gonna miss" her when she leaves (note that she hadn't left him for the other guy yet), they could have sex anyway. As I alluded to before it's common knowledge that they still hooked up after the initial breakup even though they were in relationships with other people. Of course, there really isn't such a thing as "meaningless sex" between exes, and it's a large part of the continuing conflict between them. Stevie has said that it was like they never truly broke up completely until he left the band in 1988 and broke off all contact with her. This came after he basically had a complete meltdown and the fight to end all fights with her, yelling that he had to "get [her] out of my life!"

I've actually never heard the drug interpretation before, but I don't think it works as well.

[WalshFan88]

That's probably right Soda.

I think I read about the drug reference on a song interpretation website before (might have been Songfacts or something).

But yeah, I think that's probably more the case.

[Freypower]

Wow, Soda, I would like to hear your analysis of more FM songs. Second Hand News is one of my favourites. They played it when I saw them. I see I Don't Want To Know along the same lines.

[Glennhoney]

[deb828]

Saw Fleetwood Mac for the first time last night in Columbus. It was a great show and Lindsay was just on fire! We could not afford the best seats, as we saw Jackson Browne this weekend, also, but I really loved the big screens in the second half, particularly Stevie doing Landslide. They sounded great--my only complaint was that the people around me would not stand up! (well, they stood up to go to the bathroom--lol) As has been pointed out here, they can really still rock!

[sodascouts]

Absolutely! Glad you had a good time!

[deb828]

Thanks, Soda! I was wondering, since you know all things Stevie (love her), do you know who she is singing about in Hard Advice on the new 24 Karat Gold CD? Turn on the radio Your music fills the room....Don Henley--Joe Walsh--Lindsey? Love that song, but always wonder who is about.

[sodascouts]

I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure it's not Lindsey because of the timeline and cardboard cut out "paper doll" line.... see this thread I started here: https://www.eaglesonlinecentral.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5431 - let's discuss!

Don't forget to post your thoughts, HB!

[sodascouts]

I really want to go to the Charlotte and Knoxville shows, but I can't find a good ticket for the life of me! It's getting infuriating!

[cynd1231]

Heading to Austin in the morning!

[Brooke]

I checked out tickets for St. Louis. There are some, but wow, expensive for a decent seat! Guess the one time I saw them will have to be it! I just can't justify it. :sad:

[cynd1231]

Austin Chronicle has a ton of pix from the Erwin Center last night. It was a fabulous show!!! Will try to add comments later but have to head to the airport shortly. In the meantime...

[sodascouts]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the link!

[Houston Baby]

The concert last night in Houston was FABULOUS!! I don't know if it was because I was closer (on the 5th row) than in December or that I was in the midst of mega fans this time but it was wonderful! Mac seemed so much more energetic than last December. And Stevie looked gorgeous. My seat was between her and Lindsey so I could enjoy all of them. Lindsey works his a** off during a show. And this time we got a lot more twirls and dancing from Stevie. :thumbsup: She was breath taking during “Gold Dust Woman”.
The VIP experience was wonderful! Mick is such a gracious host and really seems to enjoy people. His daughter Lucy was there also and asked him a couple of questions during the Q & A – LOL!
I plan to get back regularly on the border. Work has been beyond busy, 10 hour days 6 days a week - too many projects and not enough people and time. And now I am dealing with car problems. Hopefully I can give more details of the concert this weekend.

HB, sounds like a wonderful time! And welcome back!

HB - the concert sounded fabulous!! So glad you enjoyed it.

I can't wait to see them on July 11 now, even if I am in the nosebleed section - it looks like its the last show of the tour so maybe they'll do something wild :grin:

I got to see Fleetwood when they were in NY (date is now escaping me, but I think it was end of Jan.)
One thing I was so impressed with was Lindsay's guitar playing! I didn't realize how great he is & he's so under rated as a guitar player! WOW.

Also great to see Christine back with them, & Stevie! Loved the whole show! :thumbsup:

Just saw them in Charlotte - in fact, I'm posting from the hotel on my iPad. Great show! I managed to get to the stage after all. It was a blast! I'd post more but I've gotta get some sleep. I'm driving to Knoxville tomorrow to see them again!

[Glennsallnighter]

Way to go Soda! So glad you had such a good night. Get some sleep and safe travelling to Knoxville tonight. Hope you have another wonderful concert. Take care too.

[Houston Baby]

Fleetwood Mac road trip!! :partytime:
Wish I could have joined you....Safe travels and have fun!! We want to hear all about it when you get home

[sodascouts]

Knoxville was also great! I once again got up to the stage. My next show isnt until Wednesday so I have a little break. Tomorrow is a 6+ hour trip home!

[Brooke]

Awesome, Soda! Safe travels and can't wait to hear all about all of them!

[deb828]

Wow!!! Sounds wonderful--so many FM shows! Glad you had fun--hope you will share the details when you are home and rested.

[Glennsallnighter]

Knoxville was also great! I once again got up to the stage. My next show isnt until Wednesday so I have a little break. Tomorrow is a 6+ hour trip home!

Thats so awesome Soda, Safe home, and dying to hear how the next show goes!!

[sodascouts]

Just got word - the Little Rock show has been postponed due to "illness"! I wonder if it's Christine? Her hand was bandaged...

I just hope I can make the new date!

Praying that whoever is sick heals up soon.

Well, my Wednesday plans have now changed to cleaning up for my parent's visit. A bit of a downgrade...

[Brooke]

Lol, Soda! Sorry about the change.

I wonder what really happened? Must be more serious than is being told.

[Houston Baby]

That's a bummer Soda! But I am sure you will be able to make the new show. You are a very resourceful lady!

At least you will be able to spend more time with your parents.

And I also hope it is nothing serious with FM.

[sodascouts]

I feel really upset about this - not so much because of the fact that I'm missing a show, but more because I'm frightened that it's something serious. I hope Mick makes a more detailed statement soon.

[Houston Baby]

I have been all over the web during lunch trying to find something and no luck yet. I am keeping them in my prayers and keeping positive thoughts. Let us know if you hear something Soda.

[L101]

This was on the Ultimate Classic Rock fb (http://ultimateclassicrock.com/fleetwood-mac-concert-postpone/) page but it still doesn't give much detail what is happening about the postponed concert....

[sodascouts]

Richard Dashut said Stevie was recovering from a sore throat. Hopefully tomorrow, the show will indeed go on!
