Wow, you guys are making me blush. Thank you so much for the love. I'm really enjoying the spontaineous explanations of Without You. It's so refreshing not to have scripted speeches for a change.

I usually don't watch these videos, but since Viv mentioned Without You, I had to go look. So Stevie has explained that after Without You was stolen and copied and returned that she and Lindsey lost it themselves, which is what I didn't understand.
When they were looking for a song to replace Silver Springs, I wonder if they ever thought of that one. Even if it was lost, it was fresh in their mind in 1975. But IDWTK is certainly livelier. She talks about the BN album getting critical acclaim. I think I have only seen one review of it. I wish I had more. Michele |

I liked the original direction of the story better though- before she cooled to the subject matter. Now, instead of a "we were so in love" story we get the awkward case of the stolen demo-album tanking-thanks for saving me from a life of waitressing narrative.

Landslide by Morgan Gray/ Lindsey & Stevie can still be seen through the pull down screen which is good for the fans sitting at that angle. This is fun to watch because of the angle.

You're right. I'm sure a lot of young performers, all scrambling to get a record contract and competing against each other, might have stolen each other's demos. Just like comedians steal each other's jokes. But it seems like a whole bunch of Stevie's demos were taken so that they could be copied and disseminated (or sold) to fans. This would only have happened after she became famous. Why would she think that Without You was stolen when she and Lindsey still lived together -- although it could have happened after the White album came out and before Rumours. I guess they had a house then -- or at least they had frequent sleepovers. Michele |

http://blogs.denverpost.com/artmosph...eethoven/9893/ [there's a picture of someone dressed like Christine in the article, which is something you don't see often] Fleetwood Mac goes on and on in Denver, kinda like Beethoven If you compared the crowd that was downtown this Saturday night to see Fleetwood Mac with the crowd downtown last Saturday night to hear the Colorado Symphony, you wouldn’t find that much difference. Both audiences were up there in terms of age, mostly old enough to have grandchildren, and overwhelmingly caucasian, maybe 90 percent, if you can actually guess those things by looking. The Pepsi Center folks drank more alcohol, and didn’t turn off their phones, and the orchestra attendees were way better-dressed and polite enough not to shout “We love you Stevie Nicks” while the singer was actually trying to perform. But the two sets shared one key element: enthusiasm. The ovations were made standing in both houses and that basic human need to be sated by very familiar music – whether guitar-driven or violin-driven — was never in doubt. Who would have thought 35 years after the band started playing, people would still be interested in hearing Fleetwood Mac. Or that the musicians, rich, adored and legacy secured, would still be interested in playing. But there it was Saturday at Pepsi, the house visibly sold out, the players up there rocking out, in earnest, and in appealing way that went way beyond nostalgia. They’re still very talented pop stars, attractive, energized, envied. If classical music isn’t selling the way it was a few decades ago, don’t blame Beethoven. Blame rock ‘n’ roll for not giving up its hold on fans, for staying competitive for those concert dollars even when everyone, on stage and off, is old enough to retire. That was especially true with Fleetwood Mac. Who played 22 songs for 2 hours and 41 minutes, with all but two of them from their vast catalog of hits. The band stayed in there, delivering pretty much all of the quirky and sure personality they are known for. Lead guitarist Lindsey Buckhingham, 63, but with the lean body of a 30-year-old and a Hollywood tan, pulled off heroic solos, particularly on “Looking Out for Love.” Drummer Mick Fleetwood, 65, shouted, sweated and banged the night away. He held the stage, just by himself, for maybe 10 long minutes around “World Turning” during the extended encore. Stevie Nicks, 65 last Sunday, worked her tambourine, and those scarves and gold chains tied to her microphone, and her lacey shawls and finger-less gloves and threw her guttural voice out like a rock star. After three decades of performing “Gold Dust Woman” and “Dreams,” the routine is down. She stills does her famous spinning moves on cue, (though just 14 careful turns Saturday eve), but she chooses her earthier moments like a pro and goes for it. She remains amazing to watch on stage. Fleetwood Mac concerts used to be rowdier, more drugs, more screams, more dancing. Back in the day, half the women showed up in gauzy, Stevie Nicks drag. Last night, there were only a few gals rocking the high boots and bandanas, though it was good to see them. But like a night at the orchestra, it all seemed unfailingly appropriate. The show started on time and the sound was at a reasonable level. The between-song chatter was about the importance of family. There were lots of sentimental tales of the band in its early days. It was kinda nice. Some people would see that as the death of rock ‘n’ roll, no anger, no danger, no cigarette lighters, no youthful vibe, really. But rock has always taken its real strength from its humanity; its naturalness, rather than its costume-driven rawness. Natural, three decades in, isn’t as loud, and not as much beer gets spilled in the floor, but it has its own sort of enthusiasm, and it goes on and on and on. Be sure to check out the Denver Post’s pop music website, Reverb, where you’ll find more reviews, and photos, of local concerts. |

I'm worried. Haven't looked at the videos Viv posted yet but I have been listening to the performances from other FM Live 2013 concerts posted on YouTube. I don't know if anyone else is thinking it but I sure am...I'm afraid that maybe Stevie can't sing. At least not consistently well. She certainly isn't performing as well as she did a decade ago on the Say You Will Tour. Not just vocally but also physically - the energy that was there, the carefree dancing...it has gone. Don't want to be a killjoy but part of me says she's slowly losing the extreme talent she once had. As a Stevie fan it's quite disheartening, particularly given that she doesn't play an instrument - her voice is all she has.
I hope they record a concert from the 2013 tour and some new studio Fleetwood Mac material penned by Stevie before she completely loses it. Am sure Auto Tune was used quite frequently on In Your Dreams... And now I sound petty and unappreciative/selfish but just wanted to share these thoughts and see if anyone else was feeling it...so, are you? |
