Europe

[Bumperke]

Hi eveyone,
Is there a possibility that Mac will visit Europe? They are touring around USA at this moment. We don't get much information here.Last time i've seen them live is 1990 in Utrecht-Netherlands. They played oninspired, a few days later Stevie announced that she would leave Mac. Which she did. Now 13 years later is Mac back with a new album and tour. And this might be the last oppertunity to see them alive and kickin'. Including Lindsey. And there's a rumour (how strange??) that Christine will join the band again. She seems to be tired of retirement?
Is there someone who will (and can) give me some answers.
Europe is waiting for them as well.

[tommer]

welcome to the ledge Will.
when i think about FM coming to the netherlands i start drewling... :p but unfortunately i already lost any hopes for such a miracle to happen, just to stay on the safe side (considering the fact that i cannot afford going twice) i'll be delaying my amsterdamian vecation for this summer until a week before the schoolyear starts. the fact that no info is being provided whether the promised "world tour" might eventually occure or not is very frustrating, although many years of being a FM fan should have tought me to never expect anything, i keep insisting on hoping and eventually feeling like a dumbass :distress:

[Bumperke]

Tommer,
thank you for welcoming me. I'm flattered.
May i ask, do you have relatives in Amsterdam??
Concerning your reaction, we both agree that it is time that the "chain"visitses Europe ( and perhaps Israel or Greece). I would go to London, Brussels, Munich, Vienna, Barcelona, even Athen if they just shown up.
But isn't there any American fan who does more, or is more of an insider????
Will :rolleyes:

[tommer]

no, i don't have any duch relatives, it's just that amsterdam happens to be the coolest city i've ever been to and therefore i rather spend my vecations there.
i don't expect them to come to israel due to the current ****ty situation here, the only time they were supposed to do so was back in 1988 and it was cancelled (which obviously left me heartbroken, took me 9 years to eventually see them), but greece would be cool enough :D

[blackdove]

This has just been put up on the Irish Ticket Master site today!!!!

[wondergirl9847]

THIS FRICKIN ROCKS!!!!!

[Bumperke]

Well Blackdove, You can do it, from were you live it'll be not more than 250 miles. I suppost you will go, i hope you can.
A flight connection with Dublin from Amsterdam or Maastricht will be quit a crime. So i hope they'll play in London or so. Thanks for the tip, we'll just have to wait untill they enter our continent.

Will

As anyone knows, even the Europefans will never break the chain.

[shackin'up]

This is GODNAKENDEGLOEIENDE (don't try to read it, it's Dutch :D )good news!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So my dream is still not over!!! Now they HAVE to confirm Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam G*DD*MN it!


WOW. Europe. I just can't believe it! AND AT LEAST 35 percent cheaper tickets!

Will

[iamstevienicks]

Rumour has it Cologne for 13.11.03 !!!!!

Looks like tour dates are now starting to pop up all over

UK NEXT

[The Catdancer]

This is the greatest news ever. I was lurking on Mick's board and the German date has been confirmed. Someone saw an ad for November 13 in Oberhausen. This is sooooooooo cool.
There's no doubt in my mind they'll come to Holland too. I can't wait to see them again!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D
Debbie

[chiliD]

This is great news! But...don't expect "Tell Me Lies" (actually, "Little Lies"), unless Christine crosses the Irish Sea.

Being as how both Mick & Lindsey have brought their entire families along on the tour, I couldn't see them NOT making it a "World Tour"...how else would they be able to let their kids "see the world" and STILL be able to count it as a tax deduction?? :laugh:

[iamstevienicks]

Fireflies spy in the camp, now has tale of 9 UK DATES!!!

Manchester, London and Birmingham as definite, this is from the mouth of mICK TOO

*faints*

[Street Angel]

Aaaah! :D Here are the German dates, courtesy of Warner Germany's website (http://www.wea.de/artist/2288/artist_tour/ )

10. 11. - Berlin, Max Schmeling-Halle
13. 11. - Oberhausen, Arena

16. 11. - Kiel, Ostseehalle

Finally they're here again! I can't wait! :D :nod:

[ryan8472]

This is so cool! I'm really happy for all the European fans who finally got their wish! I truly wasn't expecting Ireland and Germany to come up for a while. I still havn't seen any dates in the UK yet, but I'm positive they'll be there! By the way, when was the last real "world tour" for the Mac (with Lindsey that is)? Was it the Tusk tour?

[wondergirl9847]

AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! I AM SO HAPPY FOR ALL THE EUROPEAN LEDGIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, just wishful thinking. I just came back from the states to see two incredible Macshows, and now they are going to play Europe!!!!!!!! I'm so excited and I really wish, they'll play Amsterdam.

PS: I was in Utrecht in '90, too. Get ready for some real freaking rocking lindsey now, because this is really something else!!!

Welcome to the Ledge, (say you;) ) Will!!! Good timing! You asked a question and the next thing: European gigs announced!!!

gerald

[strandinthewind]

I am so going to Europe to see this!!!!!!

I am also so happy for the Euopean fans, esp. the diehard Ledgies and members of other sites who have waited for years for this!!!!!!!!!!!

:cool:

[Jason T.]

Will, where did you hear this rumor of Christine being tired of retirement--that would be so awesome if she decided to join up with Fleetwood Mac again. The chain would be complete! Now I have to know....:nod:

[Hawkeye]

Yeah Will, do you think you could start a thread titled "Buffalo" for me. And then start a thread called "make a new album fast after the tour is over" You seem to have a gift:laugh:

[tommer]

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!
http://www.amit.org.il/hagim/pesach/images/yamsuf.gif
i'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO going to both london and amsterdam!!!!!
i am SSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOO incredibly happy at the moment that i'm about to start kissing and hugging my co workers here :laugh:
PLEASE.... could you guys provide some info when the tickets go on sale on where they can be bought online?

changing schedule for the next 2 hours:
1- leaving the office. i cannot concentrate anyway. i'm useless today.
2- calling my friends in london to let know i'm coming on november
3- leaving work and going to my old and cheap grandma to beg for some emergency sponsorship :laugh:

[Bumperke]

By God, no, i'm not gifted, i wish i was. But i have to admit it that it is curious. In order of the rumour that Christine would join FM during the European tour, i must have read that somewhere.

That is no wishfull thinkin'. Not that i would'nt be glad if that happened, but i seriously heard.

But hey you ledgy's, we all should meet somewhere central in Germany, there are a few Dutch, and German fans around, let's make it a night to remember.

We'll all wait 'till after the concert and try to convince them that need to make more records (joke). Should be good for Mick. After all, he seems to spend a lot of money.

Isn't this a great idea, all Mac addicted people telling about there first misic passion? :D
Please let me know.
And you American fans, we've not seen them since 1990 ( with Lindsey since 1980), should we be prepared ???:blob2:

It'll be totally worth it Tommer (but you know that anyway!! lol).

I have realised that it is very likely that this will be the last time Mac tours Europe/UK, so I am going all out to see as many gigs as I can. There are no UK dates announced as yet, but I'm sure they are to come soon. I shall go to Dublin in Ireland, all the UK gigs and if they don't do UK then I'll be going over to Germany too. I'm gonna seriously have to bend my plastic for this :eek:

Love and happiness from Sarah

Can somebody tell me please when they're going to play in Amsterdam? I haven't heard anything about that and Warner Music over here won't tell me anything. They're so helpful.... NOT!!!!!!!

Heehee, that would be SWEEEEET!! Stefan, Maik and I will probably meet up for one concert anyway and we've already started discussing which city would be best (but haven't been able to come to an agreement yet :laugh: )

We could have a huge FM pre-or/and-after-show party!!! :woohoo:

Antje

PS.: Looks like I definately need to get myself a job for the summer, gaah! :rolleyes: :laugh:

[Merf]

it's hard to believe I was in utero the last time Lindsey & the Mac crossed the pond to head over to see you guys in Europe. :eek: Congrats to the European Ledgies~ how exciting.... :]


it's been a LONG time.... :nod:

[Bumperke]

Well ledgies, shall we meet in Oberhausen ?
That meens if FM will not visit Netherlands or Belgium.
Rotterdam or Amsterdam would be fine, but i like the acoustic of Anwerp better. Perhaps some other way to meet and celebrate. After all we love the same music and her music.
Everybody is getting nutz around me, i'm drivin'everyone crazy.:wavey:

I will wear a bold head, ehehhhh, i have a bold head, my English gets more worse eveytime i think about it.
I'M SOOOOOO EXITEDDDDDD, would't you be???????

Will.
Ps i regignize more and more people who have the same sweet illness, after several epidemics Europe is ready for the next.
Fleetwood Mac will bring us in a state of shock again.

Yep...1980....23 years ago!!!

This is absolutely fantastic news. I was fully confident all along that they would come here, and I'm glad that they're living up to their promises. I know the band has a reputation of letting its (UK) fans down...but Mick said in multiple interviews that they would definitely be coming to the UK, and they also stuck "WORLD TOUR" on millions of album covers all over the world.....so if they stayed in the U.S.A, that would be a SERIOUS disappointment and let-down.

I'm going to try to make it to as many UK and European dates as my wallet, uni. timetable, and bank manager will allow!

:]:woohoo::blob1:

:wavey: :wavey: :wavey:

[The Catdancer]

Hey Ledgies..... I'm gonna see The Mac in Oberhausen, Germany. I'm so excited about this, there are no words for it. I'm driving everyone nuts because all I can talk about is The Mac hahahaha.
November 13 will be the happiest day in my life :]
Who else is going????
Take care Maccers ~ Debbie

[shackin'up]

I'll be there, debbie!

When are ticketsales starting? I'm going for a 3-week holiday, so.... i don't want to miss that!

Oh, they were so good at the two statesgigs I attended....

lindsey really is giving this band new sparks, sparks? Flames!!!


gerald:] :]

[bootylicous]

That's so exciting that they're finally going to Europe! By now it's hard to imagine those guys anywhere but the States! I bet Stevie will love it - "many of the cities I never saw at all".

-evan

[estranged4life]

the Mac is goin' back to Europe...I'm proud for y'all. I know Pip, Gerald & seteca are probably gonna be celebrating!

I'll be thinkin' of the fun y'all have when I see the Mac on October 11th in Denver...

Hey Gerald,

I have no idea when the ticket sales start. I have several people on it (my staff LOL). The venue in Oberhausen sent me an e-mail stating they will e-mail me again as soon as the tickets are for sale. So when I find out anything, I'll let you know.
Take care ~ Debbie :wavey:

Get your passport renewed and join us... you're welcome over here. I'm just wondering where you got the info that they'll be playing in Amsterdam. I haven't heard anything about that..... yet.
Take care ~ Debbie

[Bumperke]

Hi, you all.
It is unbelievible to see all these reactions from all over the world. Everyone is exited, and they should be. After all, it has been over 2 decades, that we last saw Lindsey.

Why is eveyone sooooo willing to get to Amsterdam??
London is beautiful as well, and half the band will play on homeground. That's always special.
But to honest, as for me, i'm flattered as Dutchman,( i guess so will be Debbie and Gerald).

If there is a gig in the Netherlands i will be there, otherwise i will visit Oberhausen-Germany and built a huege party with other Mac-addicts, they already told us we would be welcome.
Just one last questions to Debbie, why don't you react on my email. I was visiting your Stevie site ( by the way compliments) and was asking myself if we've met somewere in the past.
D, respond,

Will
WIJ GAAN NAAR FLEETWOOD MAC, LA, LA, LA, LA, LA, LA...

[Livia]

I haven't heard anything either, just VERY wishful thinking at this point! I'm wondering if the dates we already have are all of them, or if they'll add some more after the Dec. 4th Manchester gig. If not, then, to quote the Clash, I'll be "London Calling..."

:wavey:

[The Catdancer]

Debbie, why don't you react on my email. I was visiting your Stevie site ( by the way compliments) and was asking myself if we've met somewere in the past.
D, respond,


I haven't received your e-mail or else I would have replied. Make sure that whenever you send me an e-mail, you put in the subject "Stevie's Room".
It could be we met in the past. I've been a fan since Rhiannon. How about you?
Take care ~ Debbie :wavey:

[shackin'up]

:] :]

Thanks for the heads up, Debbie. I've got OBERHAUSEN TICKETS!!!!!!!!! Seats, no standing area. Section 113 best seating in the house. And this time Stevie's side. So the whole dream gets longer and longer....:blob2: :thumbsup:

I've got Oberhausen tickets as well, standing arena. I hope I'll be on Stevie's side and.... maybe I can smuggle a camera in!!!! That would be sooooooo cool.
Keep on dreaming!!!!!!

[Bumperke]

I haven't received your e-mail or else I would have replied. Make sure that whenever you send me an e-mail, you put in the subject "Stevie's Room".

Well, sorry 'bout that Debbie, i was asking you if you were the girl who made the FM fanclub in the Netherlands, together with Karin (from Haarlem). At that time we talked a lot about FM on the phone. Maybe now you remember ??

But i need to ask a question, how did you get your tickets?
I 'd like to go to Oberhausen to ('bout 125 km from here), it seems i don't find anyway to get to the tickets. I'm on holiday right now, and responding from an internetcafe in the middle of Greece. Please try to help me , or give some tips so i can be there to, and by the way, how much for a ticket??
A friend told me that tickets were sold over € 75,00 each.
Is that correct??
Allready thank you for answering and i will try to respond later this day or tommorow. The guy (owner) here told me that it is very quit on sundays

Will,
So if everything works out we will be able to meet, and have some party !!!:nod:

[shackin'up]

Call 0049-2088200 tickets between 44 and 76 euro

succes en geniet van griekenland!!!

[HoneyHi]

You can also buy tickets on the website of the König-Pilsner Arena which is where the concert'll take place. Try this link:

Yes, I worked with Karin a little while. I do remember talking to other fans on the phone quite a lot but I don't know your real name. Maybe if I knew your name, I would remember you (I remembered Gerald). Man, this is such a long time ago. About 25 years or so????
People here like Gerald and HoneyHi were so nice to give you the phone number and the url to the site. I just called and made a reservation for an arena ticket (2 actually) and that costs 62,45 euro. They need to have the money within a week and for 5 euro more they'll send the tickets to your house. I chose that option because I don't want to be in line at the cash register (unless I'm picking up backstage passes.... I can dream hahaha). The most expensive ticket (76 euro) is a seat at the edge of the stage left. So I chose an arena ticket and hopefully I'll be standing right in front of Stevie (again.... I can dream).
Just give them a call on Monday, they'll be open from 8:30 am.
Good luck, Bumperke and enjoy your vacation in Greece!!!!!
Take care ~ Debbie
P.S. When you call them. leave the 00, that's the code when you're calling from Holland. When you're calling from Greece you'll need another code, I just don't know which one. Maybe you can check the phonebook there or check with the operator. So the phonenumber for you would be: (countrycode) 4920882000.
Hey, good luck and let me know if there's anything I can do for you. :wavey:

[Bumperke]

May i thank everybody so far. It is around 12.00 local time here, and i can use the computer from the hotel. Are these Greek people nice or what?? I contact a few people and they 'll answer if they join me.
I get more exited everyday, My holiday is killing me now that i know 'bout FM.
Dear D, i won't print my real name on this board. I try to make easy for you. As you know, my first name is Will, i came from Heel ( little village in Limburg), this is all information i'll print.
Oh, I adored (and still do) Lindsey.
Which remembered me to an interview from 1980 were Mike Oldfield (Tubular bells) was impressed by Lindsey's playing. At that time many bands were trying to create a live sound that was equal to the studiosound, see the Eagles, Electric light orchestra and many more.
Oldfield told that (i qoute) " Buckingham makes a show, whenever he plays you feel that he loves playing his guitar, this is the show people like to hear, not some studiocopy, they can play that at home. Liveplaying is a joy, and that's exactly what Fleetwood Mac feels when you see them live".

When i look at Oldfields preformance in 1992 were he played Tubular bells II, live in Edinburgh, the difference between studio and live was so small that i still asking myself if it really was all live. It is "by the way"a brilliant gig, one of my favourites.
If i remember well there were several German fans who wanted to meet other ledgies from all over Europe. I would like to meet everybody, talk to them, sing with them.

After all, lots of you ledgies are going to Oberhausen.
To Gerald, thanks for your wishes,
To Antje, already hit the url, Danke schön,
To Debbie, think and you'll remember me
For now already lol,
Will, ( i got a little sunburn, it's hot):cool: :xoxo:

[The Catdancer]

Well, I've been thinking long & hard and your name didn't ring a bell, the place Heel did however. I do remember talking to someone who lived there so that must be you.
Do you also know Jackie?

Good to hear you're also going to Germany. Maybe we'll meet there. Enjoy the rest of your vacation!!!
Take care ~ Deb :wavey:

[WELSH WITCH]

Hallo daar,

Nice to see the ledge has more dutch members, I was one of the first around here.

Thanks for the phone number in Oberhausen, I'm gonna try and get some tickets. I can't wait to see them again, last time was 1995 or 96 during the Time tour. I also went to Utrecht in 1990.

Hope to see you guys in Oberhausen!!!!


Dimphy

[The Catdancer]

Hey Dimphy,

Nice to see you. The Dutch are coming out of the woodworks LOL. We've been waiting a long time to see them again.
You know, I completely forgot that I went to a Time concert as well, in Groningen. I probably blocked it out because my friends and I left halfway the show. I'm sorry to say this, but that line-up didn't do anything for me. And I heard people around me asking:"Hey, where's Stevie Nicks?". Pointing at Bekka Bramlett:"She's not Stevie Nicks. Where is she?". A lot of them left. I left after they did GDW. I'm sure Bekka Bramlett did her best but there's only one person who can sing that song and that's Stevie. She's the one and only.
Hope to see you in Oberhausen.
Take care ~ Debbie

[WELSH WITCH]

Hey Debbie,

I'm going to Oberhausen, I made reservations for arena tickets last Friday. I'm going to pick them up next week, make a nice day of it.

I think I'm gonna make myself a so called ledge badge, so you can tell who I am and that I'm a ledgie.

Hey Debbie,

I'm going to Oberhausen, I made reservations for arena tickets last Friday. I'm going to pick them up next week, make a nice day of it.

I think I'm gonna make myself a so called ledge badge, so you can tell who I am and that I'm a ledgie.

We (my friend and I) have reservations for seats near the stage on Stevie's side. I wanted arena tickets and hopefully get close to Stevie but my back went out of order so I can't stand that long. A seat will be fine though, we'll have a good view and no pushing and shoving from other people.
Hey, I hope to see you there!!!!
Take care ~ Debbie

Hi Elni,
How long did it take for the tickets to get to your house? We've ordered them last Thursday. I'm thinking a week maybe. Let me know, please.
Take care ~ Debbie

Hi Debbie,

I went to Oberhausen and paid there and took my tickets back home.
As i made the reservation, the man on the phone said he could send them to my address as well, but i was going to Oberhausen anyway, so i said i'll come by to pay for the tickets at the arena.

i don't know about the time it will take, when they send the tickets to you by mail, but i guess it'll take about 1 1/2 to 2 weeks, after they got the money.
They probably deliver by express mail, that's my experience when i ordered something from Germany. You need to sign a little paper when the mailman comes to your door.
Don't worry, it'll be ok, they wont just send the tickets by 'normal' mail, so they won't get lost somewhere .

And oh yes, before i forget,
i'll write you private because of the delicious Nag Champa!!
But i'm not sure if i'll make it today, because my mailbox is acting a little weird...
Best to you!

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that about your back!
Back pain is awfull!

I'm having vacation now and going to Oberhausen for a day to pick up the tickets, make a day of it.

Elni I see you live in Grunn, I live only a twenty minute drive from there. Between Zuidlaren and Hoogezand. Nice to see a fan near me.

Hope to meet you both in Oberhausen.

Hi welshwitch!

Yes i'm from grunn!
We live REALLY close to oneanother!
De Groeve, haha! I know the place, my mother and her family are from Zuidlaren en de Groeve.
This is really funny!
I'm sure we'll meet in Oberhausen!

[WELSH WITCH]

Hey Elni,

Now I'm stunned!!!!

See you in Oberhausen.

I GOT MY TICKETS!!!!!!!!! YEAHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
This is so totally great. They were sent by special delivery and it only took one week after we've ordered them. That's a pretty quick and good service.
We're gonna have to travel for about 2 hours but even if it was 20 hours I wouldn't mind one bit. When they were doing The Mask tour I travelled 14 hours to Munich, Germany to see them.

Thanks for your concern about my back, Elni. I'm afraid it will act up for the rest of my life. But I'm not complaining, the rest of the body still works and..... I'M GOING TO SEE FLEETWOOD MAC!!!!! So I have nothing to bitch about.
Take care ~ Debbie :wavey:

[elni]

You have them? Allright Debbie!!
That's great!!

Now wait on the nag Champa ~maybe they'll heal your back, hihi!

See you and everybody in Oberhausen!!
I still have difficulties keeping myself under control!

[Emmeline]

Anybody going to Frankfurt or Berlin?

Hahahaha, I can't control myself either. Everything is Fleetwood Mac and Stevie and I'm driving the people around me nuts hehehe.

Hey, if the Nag Champa works for Stevie, it might work for me too.
Take care ~ Debbie :wavey:
