Prior to the Glasgow show, Red Rover, Stephanie and some others I can't remember were played over the PA, At first I thought it was Lindsey's tech checking all his guitars.....sounded beautiful

Chris Sydney, I LOVED your review! And what amazing pictures, some are just stunning. I've been missing coming to the Ledge and finding reviews/audio/pictures of the prior evenings concerts. Thanks for supplying us in the US with a nice dose or FM
Also, Lindsey had some acoustic versions of songs playing before his GOS concerts, so I just figured it was him performing some different renditions of the songs (such as BTLH and Stephanie). He had some other awesome songs too, such as Rudy Can't Fail by the Clash (one of my fave songs ever!) I really wish I could get my hands on a copy of those acoustic versions. I want to walk down the aisle to either an acoustic BTLH (or maybe I'll just use Stephanie).

Since there are acoustic versions of little known LB songs playing before both FM and Lindsey shows, I don't think a third party could have done them. Well . . .not unless Ray Lindsay left specifically in order to give himself more time to record these gems and Lindsey is just showcasing his work. Ha! Lindsey had a Youtube video where he was playing one of his songs in his hotel room while traveling during a tour. Just him and his guitar, sitting by the bed. Maybe these acoustic versions were done during a similar kind of down time. I am shocked about SOTM though. Michele |

However, what I saw on this tour that I never saw on the SYW tour is John and Lindsey playing in such close proximity to one another again. Yes, Lindsey did have his thing where he would go and hug and pull on John every night of the SYW tour, but I didn't see them sharing a musical vibe. I didn't see that on the Dance tour or on the SYW tour, but they did it during the Mirage tour and now I see it again this year. You captured it in one of your photos and I think that's wonderful. It makes them feel like a band to me. During the first part of the tour, John would give Lindsey a nod at the end of Oh Well. Now, they communicate silently during songs and much more frequently. I think it displays both the connection and the mutual respect that you mentioned. I like seeing it. Now, Dee first noticed John reacting negatively during one of Lindsey's bows and speeches and so then I noticed it too and John still does do this -- at least he did it as recently as last month. He and Stevie have a joint thing going on actually during that one part of the show. But beyond that they all seem bonded. Maybe it's a bond born of lots of rote and practice, rather than emotion, but it works for me as feeling, rather than routine. Michele |

Well, as Lindsey would say, it's "not too late." Book it! Book it!

Thanks for the kind welcome, everyone! I'm glad you enjoyed my ramblings. I'm quite pleased with some of the photos too. I want to get the second one in my first post blown up and framed. It is such a quintessential Stevie image to me.

Which is what makes Stephanie and SOTM so exciting. It suggests to me that FM is/was thinking of doing those songs live. Michele |

Ok, cool. Half an hour support act is a-ok with me. I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THEM!!!! This time next week we’ll be leaving our hotel room in Brisbane…the day after the show…probably very deflated but hopefully extremely happy.

On Monday night I saw Fleetwood Mac live at the Acer Arena, and… wow. Mick Fleetwood and John McVie are just a fantastic rhythm section, and Fleetwood’s drum solo was absolutely captivating.
Meanwhile, Stevie Nicks’ voice, beauty and ethereal majesty continue to captivate even now. “Gold Dust Woman” is certainly a highlight in that regard. But if you’re looking for a guitarist who is both unique and totally in-control of his instrument, you can’t go past Lindsey Buckingham. He knows when to hold back and when to let loose, and those solos (particularly on “I’m So Afraid”) are both raw, powerful and stunning to behold. Unbelievable. Obviously Christine McVie’s songs were never going to be a big feature of the show, and her presence is missed on “Say You Love Me” and, to a lesser extent, on “Don’t Stop” as well, but putting that aside, the setlist was just totally satisfying. With tracks like “I Know I’m Not Wrong”, “Silver Springs” and “Oh Well” getting a look-in, even relatively obscure songs were able to get their moment to shine. Will there be a new album? One can only hope. In the meantime, the “Unleashed” tour is enough to satisfy even the most anal of hardcore fans. http://www.thewhimwham.com/2009/12/10/fleetwood-mac/ |
