The band still has some credit. Because they touched A LOT of lives through the years. Even if they are not what they were once (and who is after all those years), they still have some worth, even commercially.

His show is great but I don't know about $250. On another note, I didn't even know Elton and Billy Joel were on the road again.

One show was canceled, several (Rochester, Rosemont #2, Auburn Hills, Toronto (3/17)) were disasters, most underperformed, and only a couple were truly successful. It looks like the second leg will shape up the same way. |

You resent my assumption that you almost "hoped" they'd fail, but the way you look at it is as far from objective as my point of view. I'm critical too, but for Buck's sake, give them the credit they deserve. They make a million every night. People go home satisfied, so it seems. No, they are NOT innovative anymore, Live. No, Stevie's not in her best phase in her career, but who is after 60? No, they should NOT have agreed to these ticketprizes, those are ridiculous. No, they are NOT better live without Christine. But given today's facts, it is quite an achievement to bring on a 2 hour and twenty minute show with this energylevel. I LOVE the fact that they play more vulnerable and raw than during the SYW-tour, and Mick, John and Lindsey kick major instrumental *ss. They ARE having fun. At least 3/4th of the band.

Disaster? I don't know if I'd put it that way, but it's subjective & you're obvioulsy entitled to your opinion. When you consider the 3/17 Toronto show was announced several weeks after the 3/26 show in TO, I think it sold pretty well. Even if it was only about 2/3 full 3/17, the 3/26 show was close to (if not) sold out. |

10.000+ people per night 1000000+ dollars per show. For some geriatric underperformers. 150.000+ people who went home unhappy. Come on people. Everyone who calls this a disaster is talking out of their *ss. It's like stating that selling 4 million albums is a commercial failure.

Regarding Auburn Hills. When the Auburn Hills show was first put on sale, approximately 19000 tickets were available on the manifest that day. As the day of the show grew closer, they knew they weren't going to sell anywhere near enough tickets to justify that seating configuration/price scaling, and they adjusted both (as DavidMN described, with the curtains in the upper level, relocating people who bought tickets in the affected sections) accordingly, deep discounting tickets that were selling at $79.50 (as reflected in the average ticket price). It was in THAT configuration that they sold 90% (a large chunk not at their initial face value) of the house. If you still think that means Fleetwood Mac had a near-sellout in Auburn Hills, you can see how that's more of an opinion than a fact. Even in this sh*tty economy, Fleetwood Mac in Auburn Hills on a Sunday should have been worth at LEAST 14000 paid tickets. Its one of the markets they hit three times on the SYW tour, and even though they wouldn't have been able to do that this time, it should have done better.

The glass is half empty in your world Luke. This band is 6 years older without an album to promote. Hell, even their supposed marketingtool isn't released yet. I never expected it, I thought you were right when you predicted it would be a failure with these ticketprices, but this band is doing incredibly well. Even if they must rearrange an arena every once in while. These figures can be manipulated in some way, but it is bogus to think that they did that for 13 shows that had quite an equal average: around tenthousand people and around a million dollars. Just stop painting black pictures dude.
