Fleetwood Mac Remains a Strange and Potent Musical Family

The Pepsi Center was moving and shaking on Wednesday evening to the smoky sounds of the infamous Fleetwood Mac. The night was filled with velvet-draped microphone stands, beards, vests and the crackle of big personalities.

Although the group seemed to be in high spirits, there was a suggestive tinge of emotion drifting between the bandmates throughout the show. Christine McVie, once married to bassist John McVie, has not been a part of the band for over sixteen years, but she began touring with it again in September. The event mainly focused on Christine McVie and her return — something Stevie Nicks seems to have had enough of.

Nicks began by saying that McVie had been gone for a decent amount of time, but now Denver was their 73rd show together. "I can safely say she's back."

The rockers' dynamic was a little off-putting throughout the evening. But the group began their set with “The Chain," and continued to give the audience what it was looking for. It is absolutely astonishing how many hits Fleetwood Mac has made over the years. This band is a powerhouse. The band, whose members range in age from the late sixties to early seventies, played for over two and a half hours, fully engaged in the crowd and musicianship.

The first half of their set was more rock-oriented. By the middle of the set, the band exited the stage — eveyone except Lindsey Buckingham, who stood front and center with an acoustic guitar.

Did anybody go to this April Fools day show.

It would have been cute if someone from the band said something about April Fools during the show.

The band could have started playing 7W and Stevie could have stepped up to the mic and said, "April Fools." Christine could have sat down at the grand piano at the end of the show and start playing Songbird and then abruptly stop and say into her mic, "April fools."

Something to the effect that they're all on board for a new album and can't wait to end this tour and work on it...?
