I was planning to go and catch the L.A. show if time and funds allow anyway, but seeing as this is most likely going to be the last Fleetwood Mac tour ever (and therefore I MUST see them no matter what), l will be SERIOUSLY p**sed off if I'm (in effect) FORCED to travel at least 6,000 miles and spend probably well over £1000 to see them, simply because they can't be bothered to show up here.

As for touring & promotion, I wonder whether the whole promotion model has changed from 25 or 30 years ago. The promotion seems to be the marketing for the album, & the touring itself seems primarily designed to fill coffers (in other words, as a huge revenue generator). Whereas in the old days, the tour was not profitable except insofar as it pumped up interest in an album. "The Dance" album was promoted by the TV concert, & the tour was supposed to just make money directly rather than to specifically beef up sales of the album (which had already sold millions even before the tour started). Does this seem feasible? |

I was quite amazed today when Mrs nodmod found out on the net the cost of going to Boston in April, seems she doesn't mind coming over at at all.
All the time I thought I would I would have terrible trouble persuading her to travel to the USA again to see Fleetwood Mac. But so be it, If we have to come over then that's what I/We will do, but hey Mick sort yourself out and get your band over here to the UK. I have a terrible image in my mind that a European tour will be scheduled to happen after the North American 40 - 60 dates, and after the North American tour has wrapped, there will be a problem, and no tour........................much like 1998, TISL in 2001

Well, the only thing I can say about this is why don't we just wait to see what happens? Did anyone really think FM (with or without CM) would be touring or making new albums? And all of the sudden it happened. But there's no point in just giving up hope and complaining now whenever we don't really know what will happen. If anything, FM has proven to be very sparatic. And in earlier interviews, didn't they say they were gonna tour for a long time? Again, saying and doing are two very different things, but until it's done (or in this case, NOT done), I wouldn't get too worked up about it.

Canada likes Fleetwood Mac Too
I hope that the band does come to Canada and plays a few dates. I live in Ottawa and since they haven't toured here at all chances are that I wiill have to trek to Toronto where they almost play. (Except the last tour). Also Can someone tell me why the only Canadian date in Vancouver for the Dance tour was cancelled? I was reading the tour dates and noticed this one date was cancelled and no explanation was given.

If memory serves me right (which lately it hasn't), it was RUMORED that Stevie got really upset because she didn't want to do the show, and so they canceled it. If this information is wrong, please someone tell me...but that's the RUMOR (again, I repeat RUMOR) that I heard.

The fact that this happened to the Vancouverites -- who don't see Fleetwood Mac much -- is a bummer. |

I do have to disagree with you though about not wanting to come to England. We lived in Suffolk for 4 years. I definately wouldn't mind living there again. Unfortunately, my husband feels the same way you do. -Karen

I feel for all the overseas fans, I hope they come over there for you guys. All I can say besides that is that I hope they come to Colorado.

Anyway, we went to a bar and drank and bitched the rest of the night. I guarantee you we did not toast the band. As for the reason(s), I heard so many conflicting stories in the press that I just accepted we'd never really know why. I must admit, I was anti-FM for a while after that, especially since the rumors seemed to center on Stevie just not wanting to go to Canada. I don't believe that now, but at the time I was angry enough to believe anything. By the way, someone posted earlier that LB hadn't played outside of the U.S. for 20-some years. Technically, that's not true. As I've described here before, he played an absolutely mind-blowing show at the Commodore in Vancouver in the early 90s. Very intimate setting and just a stellar performance. The press raved about it for days, saying that the small audience that attended got the show of a lifetime. I'll never forget it, for sure. |
