I like the camera angle for "Gypsy" as you get to see John play base for most of the video. I like to watch him play. And "Gypsy" sounds pretty good here, although to me the beautiful studio version can't be duplicated on stage - I like Mike's guitar playing at the end. I can also see why it replaced "Storms" (which I adore, but it is a slow burner) and "Gypsy" is more of a crowd pleaser. But, can't the band put "Hypnotized" back in the set? Or cut "Don't Dream, It's Over" instead? Thanks for posting the videos.

DDIO isn’t going anywhere. However, I wouldn’t mind Monday Morning or Second Hand News getting cut for Hypnotized.

[Macfan4life]

Ok then if they don't cut Don't Dream Its Over then how about the other song from Fin. I am so glad I am not going to the concert because when I saw they were doing Hypnotized I had second thoughts. Now I truly have no regrets.
I take back my grade of B for the setlist and now it drops to C.
The casual fan audience is bored with Storms and Hypnotized which are favorites of us true at heart fans.

Hypnotized is one of those parts of the setlist which actually made this present band tolerable for me. It surely belongs in a Fleetwood Mac set more than Don’t Dream It’s Over, I Got You or Free Fallin’...or Go Insane or Stand Back for that matter.

From what I’ve heard, Hypnotized sounded fantastic. It still gets a moderate amount of airplay (especially on Sirius XM), and is a lot more interesting than Neil’s take on Monday Morning or Second Hand News.

Replacing it and Storms with Gypsy is so predictably Fleetwood Mac.

I don’t disagree. At all. But the reality is that DDIO is an iconic hit, and it’s probably the last song Neil sings that will get cut.

It was amazing. Glad I saw it. I also heard the original on Classic Vinyl on Wednesday.

That said, Neil does a great job on MM and SHN. I just don’t think they need both songs in the set (I prefer his take on MM over SHN, FWIW.)

Replacing it and Storms with Gypsy is so predictably Fleetwood Mac.
It was the hit and is a bit more dynamic. Glad I saw Storms, since I skipped the 2009 tour.

Sounding better and better with each show.

I wish they would lose MM and SHN.
Sounds like a lazy phoned-in retrospective attempt.

If you want those iconic Fleetwood Mac songs sung, they should be sung and played by Lindsey.
GYOW doesn’t matter because it’s always been a predictable set closer.

[SteveMacD]

Neale Heywood’s grin at the end of Gypsy was priceless!

ETA: I also noticed Ricky Peterson wasn’t playing much, so Christine appears to be playing more than many thought.

interesting choreography to have Mike come and play by Stevie at the end. Neil walked over towards Mike and it looked like he was wanting to jam with Mike but Mike was clearly focused on Stevie and Neil stepped away. Not in the script, dude.

Huh? If anything, Mike goes over to Neil at about 3:34. All Neil did after Mike came over was step away from the microphone, since he was done singing.

Does EVERYTHING have to be overly dramatic around here???

I dunno. I just made a comment about the end of a video. There were no screaming caps and multiple punctuation marks in my post. :shrug:

Perhaps a bit of damage control after his interview went out?
Glad she's playing / able to play, regardless.

Fleetwood Mac is back, delivering Buckingham-free show at Enterprise Center

Once the members of Fleetwood Mac realized it would take two players to replace one Lindsey Buckingham, did they question whether moving forward made any sense?

That question was ultimately answered when the classic band played the Enterprise Center on Saturday night in front of 13,400 fans, many likely wondering how Fleetwood Mac would pull off a Buckingham-free tour with Neil Finn and Mike Campbell as newcomers to the fold.

As we all know, Buckingham was a key singer, songwriter and guitarist with the band as far back as the ’70s, but parted ways early this year over touring conflicts (reportedly everyone was ready to go out on the current tour except for Buckingham, so they went without him).

It has been messy ever since, resulting in Buckingham filing a lawsuit against the band over $12 million in lost touring wages.

Touring without Buckingham is a punch to the gut not only to Buckingham but to fans who want their Fleetwood Mac intact.

“The Mac is definitely back,” drummer Mick Fleetwood said at one point. And it’s true though different from before.

During band introductions, Mick Fleetwood said Campbell (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) and Finn (Crowded House, Split Enz) had their own stories to tell before joining “this crazy band,” and gave them time to show who they are, within the context of Fleetwood Mac and on their own.

Opening with “The Chain,” the combination of Mick Fleetwood, Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie, John McVie, Campbell and Finn felt tentative initially. It was hard to tell how this would all play out. “Little Lies” and “Dreams” were safe second and third song choices with Christine McVie and Nicks on lead, respectively.

The first real test came with the Buckingham-penned “Second Hand News,” on which Finn assumed lead and to his credit pretty much nailed it. And with that was the realization the new Fleetwood Mac isn’t a bad thing, but rather a different thing. And maybe a shake-up is necessary at times to bring new elements into an old thing.

It was smooth sailing from there, as the band performed expected staples such as “Say You Love Me,” “Go Your Own Way,” “Everywhere,” “Rhiannon,” “Gold Dust Woman,” giving Nicks and Christine McVie their required moments to shine. But there were also a few surprises, and songs unique to Finn and Campbell.

Among the moments that could have happened only with this version of Fleetwood Mac were Campbell augmenting a version of “Gypsy,” Finn on a cover of Split Enz “I Got You” (perhaps not so much a big deal) and more memorably, the cover of Crowded House’s “Don’t Dream It’s Over” showcasing Finn, and Nicks and Finn on “Landslide.”

Finn blended with Christine McVie on “Tell Me All the Things You Do” and with Nicks and Christine McVie on “World Turning.” The latter included an enthusiastic superextended drum solo from Mick Fleetwood as the other players left the stage, with plenty of screaming call-and-response between him and the crowd.

One nice inclusion was Nicks singing lead on “Black Magic Woman,” which was a Fleetwood Mac song before it was a Santana song. If in name only, outside of “Gypsy,” is there a song with a title better suited to her? The song culminated with Christine McVie and Campbell jamming on piano and guitar with her, respectively.

The concert fell on the occasion of what would have been Petty’s 68th birthday, marked here by “Free Fallin” with Nicks on lead, which opened the encore(Fleetwood Mac has actually been playing the song all month on tour). Petty’s wasn’t the only birthday celebrated.There was also a quick nod to Chuck Berry, who would have been 92 on Oct. 18, with Campbell offering a few quick licks of “Johnny B. Goode” before going into “Oh Well.”

Mick Fleetwood addressed the crowd at the end of the show, a St. Louis backdrop behind him, and thanked fans for support and encouraged them to be kind to each other.

Oh. After the anticipation briefly built up I have to say I'm a bit, er, under-whelmed.

Christine sounds really good here. And when they harmonize it’s surprisingly effective. Didn’t think their voices would blend so well without a third....
