I really hope they do a Soundstage or similar recording of this tour and yes I loved Hypnotized.

Regardless of where you stand, you have to admit that FM shook it up a bit. Do I wish Lindsey was still in the band? Absolutely, but I don't think Stevie and everyone else are the vile beings some say they are. I think it's extremely unfortunate that these people couldn't put aside their differences for one more tour, but I don't see the point of worrying so much about something that cannot be changed. With that said, I wish both Lindsey and Fleetwood Mac good luck. I'm thinking of getting a ticket to the STL FM show. This will be my first time seeing FM (I saw Stevie and BuckVie last year). I just wish Lindsey had a show closer to me, since travel doesn't work with my work/school schedule.

Well said and 100% agree.

^^^ Please. They professionally record every tour so a blu-ray release of this setlist would be KILLER.

His voice does sound well suited to that song.

Articles will always write that venues were sold out, it helps to sell more tickets to subsequent shows.
Venues will always claim to be sold out because it makes the venue look better, more appealing.
Most hockey and football venues will claim sold out status AT THE EVENT, whether they are or not. Hypes crowds for upcoming games.

The only way to know for sure, is to ck Ticketmaster (or sites similar) just before an event to get an accurate reading of what is left for sale.

Agree. The way it came across was cringe.

So, maybe we can all move on too? Stop trashing the "side" that you aren't on and spend that energy positively by supporting the "side" that you are on by going to their shows. After all, both "sides" are touring. We have choices! Of course, there's also not choosing a side at all and taking this for what it is.

As for me, I plan to see FM in Dec in San Diego. I'm not seeing Lindsey, but that doesn't mean I'm going to trash his Kimmel performance or any future videos I might watch of his. I wish him the best.

This is the most rational and level headed post I've seen on this board in a very long time. I couldn't agree more with everything you said. You're awesome!

I have no idea how well the show sold, but I have seen many reviews that said whether an arena sold out or not- many times they'll even give a number, which I assume they were told by the venue. So I really question your comment that "articles will always write that venues were sold out, it helps to sell more tickets to subsequent shows." Why would the writer care how subsequent shows sell? A writer is not going to lie about it.

Does anyone have a video for All Over Again?

Not much of a tribute when you don't nail the lyrics.

I noticed that too. I think something happened to the monitor. She points and Mike looks and then says something to Chris and then Stevie. Hopefully it's a better performance next time. It's a shame she has lost so much range in her voice. Her vocals on the recorded Free Falling were so good.

And.....mic drop. Some people are so hell bent on hating, they can't keep track of their own complaints.

Great concert, here and there. My two favorites are

Storms. Excellent performance, even better than the 2009 rendition. I don't know anymore who is playing what because there are so many instrumentalists—who's playing the delicate Fender Rhodes lines? Who's playing the subtle, poignant string patch that swells in and out of the sound field? The arrangement is a homage to the old studio track. Chillingly good. Only one flaw: The song should have ended on a B minor, not a D major. You could feel the B minor coming for the final minute, and it should have resolved to the minor—it was like a word on the tip of your tongue that got replaced with a less suitable word because you forgot it.

Hypnotized. Another great performance, very studio-ish, very careful. Sometimes the carefulness is boring, but sometimes—like on these propulsive ballads—the craftsmanship adds to the emotional punch. Somebody is playing the hypnotic electric piano part from 1973—again, don't know who. Glad it's there because it adds to the elegance and mystique. Backup singers are always best when they don't sound like backup singers. On this one, they sound like beckoning sirens in those Carolina swamps.

I'm looking forward to hearing some of the others, like All Over Again and Don't Dream It's Over. Would love to hear one or two more early slow blues, like I Loved Another Woman or Before the Beginning. I'm not looking forward to hearing The Chain, Dreams, Gold Dust Woman, and so on because, like Rhiannon, those same arrangements are being trotted out for the 100th time. Nothing special or unique there. Those songs are withering on the vine until and unless the band opts to reimagine them somehow.

Idea: What if they tried Crystal with Neil Finn on lead vocal and Stevie on harmony vocal? I also think Southern Accents would make a better tribute than Free Falling, which sounds like dodgy curbside garbage.

If they performed Crystal, I think I would cry tears of joy.
