This is GOLD!

My heart is warming hearing these words. Our band. This sounds really heartfelt.

[WildHearted]

Wow, that was pretty emotional.

The audio is clear enough, but here's a transcript all the same:

Tonight I’m gonna dedicate Landslide to our band. I’m really dedicating it to Fleetwood Mac, and I’m also really dedicating it to you, Lindsey. For all the wonderful things that you have done for me, and teaching me the little guitar pick that is in Landslide that I would never have known had it not been for you, and all the really wonderful music that you have brought into my life. And just for being a wonderful friend all these years. I just want you to know that even though we argue, the love is always still there. Now I’m going to take a couple of really deep yoga breaths while he does an extra long introduction and try to sing it.

It was, only true fans will get it I guess.....only a few moments later I received a tweet from a Stevie-friend with the rumours of the cancellation....I realized I was witnessing somethins special and this speech meant something ...

Yeah, I can imagine knowing the bad news would have made the experience of being there all the more powerful.

I hope a video of the final bow surfaces.

Thank you Amlyn. That's a keeper. This year we've gotten so many things, so many moments that fans will be talking about for the next 20 years. Some of them (Christine) longed for and some of them we never wanted, but might have feared, like this final show, final WY, final bow, final band intro. Keeping it all in a big vault -- which may be the same vault that Stevie keeps her stuff in -- which is actually just my heart.

NP. I just beat someone else to posting it.

We should do a best of thread from this tour. I don't have the time to do it but maybe some others have the time and ability to go back through YT and some of the other threads and pull out the highlights? Might be a nice way to relive some wonderful moments and try to focus on something positive since we are all down in the dumps with the recent John news.

Moments like that one Rhiannon where Stevie just took it to a new place, the ISA i think it was where Lindsey fell down, Christine showing up, etc. And well, maybe Without You gets it's own thread. I don't have the time or stamina to do so, but I think it would be a great way to lift our spirits.

Any takers?

Man, that's a great idea. We could all pitch in. I wanted to put all the WY's in one place anyway...

[Fleetwood Mik]

Oh man, my mind's with John McVie all day long. I hope he gets better real soon. I'm a bass player myself and John is such an inspiration to me. When I shot this video, and it was the last song in Amsterdam yesterday, I didn't realize it would be the last video of this tour.

But he will make it, I really really hope so, and let's hope they will record a new album and tour again sometime in the next few years. Fleetwood Mac, thank you for the great performances I was able to attend this year. I went to New York, and twice in Amsterdam and it was great!!!

Such a Brilliant Idea, expecting to see them live in Brisbane i purposely avoided watching video's posted throughout this tour, bar viewing SOTM & GDW a couple of times..

Hopefully a new thread could be started a tribute to F/M 2013 world tour the best of the best video's & special highlights

My mind has been doing the same. Thanks so much for these. Lovely pics and video - lovely John McVie.

Most importantly best wishes to John wishing a full and speedy recovery! I saw the band on the 3rd October in Glasgow. Front row had a ball loved the show standing under Lindsay. We booked to travel to Amsterdam when a fire at the Hydro put the opening in doubt.

Travelled over and we queued from 5 to get a good spot. Just under Stevie. The problems have been well documented but you can imagine my wife and I's anxiety when it looked as though it might not go ahead.

Met some great people and a lovely girl from Edinburgh who I hope gets in touch. Thank you for the translations.

To summarise. Stevie was on fire so engaged and responsive to her fans. The raw emotion and power in her voice and performance blew us away. Her heartfelt dedication to Lindsay on Landslide takes on a new dimension knowing what we know now about John.

Lindsay was stunning as ever. He was obviously not happy with the technical problems, being a perfectionist perhaps understandable. He did not hang about for Stevies thanks at the end. Anyway, before I ramble on anymore which I could for hours. I want to give my personal thanks to the band that I have loved since a boy.
