The Mac in Glasgow

[Dustmybroom]

Just spotted Mac backing singers Lori and Sharon and guitarist Neil leave the Radisson Blu Hotel on Argyll street in Glasgow! I just happen to be having a drink in the pub accross the road.

Looking forward to another great night with the Mac at the Hydro Glasgow this evening. Last night being a blast! Silver Springs was played but no Songbird. Still it was magical!

I know where the Mac are staying! Mar Hall in Scotland which is a hotel/spa place which is very nice indeed. This is thanks to Mick's trainer who posted a photo on Instagram and said "our hotel" so I assume they're all there.

Marhall looks quite splendid. I would imagine they are all there. A mighty jump up in quality from the Radisson where the backing personnel are staying.

Mar Hall looks very nice indeed.
I wonder if anyone in the Mac plays golf.

Marianne Gunn's Verdict: four stars.

On With The Show was merely a tagline last week for Fleetwood Mac when they had to cancel tour dates due to illness. Although they played the Isle of Wight festival at the weekend, Scottish fans were still on tenterhooks last night to see if the first of two nights in Glasgow would go ahead. It did - and, if it was a celebration of anyone, the members of Fleetwood Mac said this show was a "welcome back" to Christine McVie, who did not play the Hydro along with the rest of the band two years ago on their world tour.

After a warm greeting from the capacity crowd, You Make Loving Fun from seminal 1977 album Rumours highlighted the venue's tendency to challenge vocal clarity, even for legend Stevie Nicks. "This is Show 91!" screamed Nicks huskily, admitting that on many levels this was a truly amazing feat. Hits continued to be played early on: Dreams was given some minor alterations, while Everywhere saw Christine McVie take lead vocals on the classic track she penned in 1987, although the band's three-part harmonising was the main draw.

An acoustic set began with Lindsey Buckingham's contemplation on alienation (otherwise know as Big Love) which he disclosed mirrors the breakdown the band experienced at the height of their "recreational" activities. Gypsy, Little Lies and Go Your Own Way were the highlights of the closing section, although an extended Gold Dust Woman was played like a rebirthing of Nicks and Buckingham's I'm So Afraid guitar solo brought a much-needed crescendo.

The band are returning later in the summer for even more gigs at the Hydro. A profound and prolific new chapter? Or just another page of pension "pop"? Some new material would make a pleasing ending to their book.
