New Video interview ...

"We know the songs. We've been playing them for 30 years." :rolleyes: Yes. We know.
With regard to the "all of Fleetwood Mac's big radio hits" comment, a good chunk of those belong to CHRISTINE who is not touring with you. Oy. I love these two to pieces but sometimes they're just living in la la land. :laugh: I would happily sit through some new old never been played songs. What hits are they going to play that didn't get done on the last tour? :confused:

Gypsy, Seven Wonders, Freedom, maybe Big Love with the full band.

[gldstwmn]

Gypsy, Seven Wonders, Freedom, maybe Big Love with the full band.

Gypsy was done on the SYW tour. The rest would be cool as Seven Wonders has never been done live with Lindsey.

Bless their hearts....

I, for one, will always show up to hear whatever it is they want to play. I don't seem to care WHAT they play; I just want it to be played WELL. And with passion. :shrug:

However, I imagne this interview will be a nice topic of conversation for those who yearn for more. It's just "this tour only" though, so hang in there! lol

[DashingDan]

Wow, they've really convinced themselves that a greatest hits tour has never ever been undertaken by a 'classic rock' band.

[michelej1]

They are trendsetters. There's no doubt about that.

So, I guess I understand the "unleashed" title now. They're unleashed from the hardship of trying to present new music to an unreceptive crowd.

Am i sensing some negativity?

[michelej1]

Am i sensing some negativity?

It's mockery.

However, I do think that's what they mean by the title. When they say: And not put ourselves in the pressure of trying to redefine ourselves with new material." I think clearly that there's where the title comes from, being released from or "unleashed" from the pressure that they supposedly felt.

I bet when the interviewers ask them what the title "unleashed" means point blank, that's what they'll say in response.

Looking at this ET thing (and I assume maybe they'll be on ET tonight, so I'm going to tape the show), I just recently got a press junket DVD with interviews Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny did earlier this year. They just sat in one room all day and did interview after interview and I just got to watch the whole thing, basically, just the 2 of them answering the questions without having to see the particular interviewer. I would love to have something like that for FM. It can be very interesting.

Well, Careful what ya wish for, i just saw an access Hollywood clip of Both lins and Stevie in the same room wearing the same thing, talking about the Buckingham nicks cover. NOTHING we haven't heard before, im sad to say. I will say that Stevie looks Beautiful with her hair curled and i love the Crescent moon necklace.

Oooh, I want to see that. I've never seen them together talking about the BN album cover together. In fact, except for remarking on the album at one of his concerts, I don't think I've ever heard Lindsey say anything about the album cover. I've just heard Stevie. Many times.

Man, I have to tape Access Hollywood tonight.

Hmm. I actually had work to do today and it hasn't gotten done.

I guess that's the official FM black uniform. They seem a bit tense, no? Anyway, I'm glad they're in good terms enough to tour together, and the phrase on a possible new album in the future is promising.

I think that's what they're doing here. Because they're both dressed really well and are both done up (esp. Stevie), so i believe that is what they did. Although they could also be doing a photo shoot as well. I mean, i think they are doing more than just ET here because they are both very well put together cosmetically, so that's what i think they were doing.

I wish we could see all of it. The outtakes and everything.

I bet as the tour rolls from town to town, the local tv stations in the venue cities will have snippets from this same day too.

Last time they toured, they did Dateline. I wonder if they can get some press like that this time around, with John and Mick too.

To be fair, at every show I went to, people went to get a beer or to the bathroom during <i>Come</i> almost like clockwork.

[MacMan]

Looking at this ET thing (and I assume maybe they'll be on ET tonight, so I'm going to tape the show), Michele

They were on ET again tonight... It was very brief. I recorded it, I'll get it up.

[SNicksed]

They were on ET again tonight... It was very brief. I recorded it, I'll get it up.

Yeah. I saw it. It went by fast. Stevie said they had a list of 30 songs picked out for the set. I don't think they'll do that many. Will they? :shrug:

[starshine]

That was such a BS kinda interview....not like we haven't heard it 'all' from both of them before....they both 'love' to spin there little webs and make it all sound so great and perfect......I'm sure it'll be the same old set list as always....like yrs past....'they' don't want to change....heck they've been doing it since they started in this band somewhat 33 yrs ago.....if it ain't broke don't fix it right.....just like Stevie won't change anything.....yes I will beat a dead horse with this too.
What a joke really.....I'm happy I'm not gonna spend the $$ on this tour......how sad really.....totally sad .....I guess they all need the $$ badly...IMO anyway......just some thoughts.....:shrug::confused:

[CADreaming]

It was too short but it was great to see them asked about it together, even if Lindsey did look like for all the world he was trying hard NOT to picture Stevie as a stripper...;)

[Macfanforever]

What night was this et interview was on.if it was this last night, I got screwed do to the local tv station ran some informercial ***** at that time slot and i missed the second run after the late show with David Letterman.Can some one post a clean Mpeg version on here to share please or pm me with the download link.Thank you.

[wheart]

He did totally look that way!! I always enjoy watching Stevie and Lindsey while the other one is speaking. It's quite amusing:lol:

[Phoenix]

It is true.:laugh: It was interesting where they were talking about Buckinghamnicks cause i like someone said, it is a rarity for someone to be talking to both of them at once about it. I ADORE that snippet of "Frozen love" and the banter on lindseys soundstage. Here i go again, saying i wasnt impressed, and am now all about it. THey sure know how to string us along.:laugh:

[michelej1]

To be fair, at every show I went to, people went to get a beer or to the bathroom during <i>Come</i> almost like clockwork.

Yeah, but what about Say You Will? No bathroom rush for that. That was among the most well received, but Goodbye Baby, Say Goodbye, Peacekeeper and What's the World Coming To got a fair reception (people didn't rush for the bathroom).

True, I don't think people liked Red Rover that much, but the other new songs (not counting the ones that were cut from the set) went over ok. I don't think it was a gigantic challenge for them to incorporate them into the set.

Actually, the fan reception is probably not why we're not getting new music right now. It's just the cover story.

Michele

[SandyMac]

Yeah. I saw it. It went by fast. Stevie said they had a list of 30 songs picked out for the set. I don't think they'll do that many. Will they? :shrug:

Wow, 30 songs? In Stevie speak though that means they have a list of 30 songs to choose from and go from there. But I could be wrong. If not, definitely enough room for SOTM. In my opinion, if Stevie can have high energy songs like FFG or Rock and Roll, I don't see any reason why SOTM could not be included in the new set.

We need Mick to talk. He might give us clues. He's the one who told us Sara was coming.

Agreed. Sisters of The Moon would be soooooo cool. I mean, if its given the same treatment that Gold dust woman is, built up to be all angsty and mystic with dramatic lighting and witchy moves and new ad libs. I could really see that being a favorite of this tour.

[SandyMac]

Oh definitely. It would be the highlight and the crowd would go nuts.
Since they are doing the familiar hits, it would be awesome if they played up the dramatic lighting and mood to make them more intense and memorable. I really hope they do this right and not take the easy way out.

In the ET interview Stevie did say 3 days of production rehearsals and to me that means full dress rehearsal with outfits and moves. They should have enough time to rehearse. They start on Jan 5 and trucks go out on Feb 22, to me that sounds like enough time to work in at least SOTM or Seven Wonders or Little Lies or something.

[CADreaming]

He did totally look that way!! I always enjoy watching Stevie and Lindsey while the other one is speaking. It's quite amusing:lol:

LOL...I just watched this again and caught a Stevie quip. The comment about LB's hair and he said, "good thing I had long hair" and she deadpanned, "it's a good thing". :D

She just cracks me up.

[SandyMac]

Stevie said the photo was touched up. Did they have the software then to do that?
I think that was just an off the cuff remark because it looks like Stevie was just taken aback that the interviewer was not letting this go and move on.

Yes, I love it when Stevie said she was happy Lindsey had long hair. Too funny.

[michelej1]

Stevie said the photo was touched up. Did they have the software then to do that?


Makes me wonder if there are pictures floating out there where his hair is not strategically placed and you can see more. Michele

[SandyMac]

Oh, you know, I didn't think about it like that. Stevie could have meant, that there are some out there that looked "worse" in her eyes and the one that made the cover was the one where Lindsey's hair is placed just right. hmmm, makes you wonder.

Sometimes I do wonder if Stevie protests publicly about that cover because of family, etc...

All I could think about while watching this... is oh boy... here we go again with the drama and fearing a big argument down the line in 5 months to squash the summer plans and possible CD. (must not think negative... only positive thoughts).

[Macfanforever]

Has anybody record ET on december 10th.let me know .i would like a copy please.

[GypsyGirl15]

I second that. For some reason the embedded vid isnt working anymore and I'd love a copy of higher quality. Thanks!

Works fine for me :shrug:

[Enchanted_Stevi]

I have that clip on my laptop...but I ran out of blank DVD's =\
I need to do a little shooping

[GypsyGirl15]

Works fine for me :shrug:

This is weird. Seems like they changed the clip a bit, adding concert footage at the beginning. It is working fine again. :nod: ... do you have higher quality versions of both the ET and AH clips?

[Lindsey Jr.]

Lol @ LB's face at the end. He smiles, but at the same time he's like "yeah Stevie, yeah" :laugh:

[CADreaming]

Stevie said the photo was touched up. Did they have the software then to do that?


No, it wasn't software, but yes they've been touching photos up since the beginning of photography...

[marinnette]

hhahahaahahaha! it's so funny when stevie says: "for me it was hugely embarrassing" and lindsey nods so strangely....

I think he was trying not to laugh..."oh please, stevie...not again..."

Michele

I totally agree! Come and Say Goodbye were just not good choices to do live. That's why people went for beer, bathroom breaks during them, not because they were "new". I think the audience should be given a little more credit than that. Had they decided to do more fun and accessible (to quote Mr. Buckingham) songs such as Running through the Garden, Destiny Rules, Everybody Finds Out or Steal your Heart Away, perhaps the response would have been more favorable. I think new songs are fine, as long as they're selected wisely.

[Enchanted_Stevi]

This is weird. Seems like they changed the clip a bit, adding concert footage at the beginning. It is working fine again. :nod: ... do you have higher quality versions of both the ET and AH clips?

NO I dont...I only for the ET clip so far...I got the video straight from the website
I'm working on the AAH video now...so Hopefully by the end of the day I'll have that one =)

[michelej1]

No, it wasn't software, but yes they've been touching photos up since the beginning of photography...

I remember even on family photos they would do things to them. I have a portrait from when I was 5 years old and I'm sure it looked fine to my parents then, but when I look at it in retrospect, it looks like someone took a crayon to it. It actually seems like I'm wearing make up. The photo studio retouched the coloring and kind of painted out stray wisps of hair.

Michele

Yes! I think they call it "tinting". I have photos from the '20's and '30's of my grandmother and her family where they used that technique. No doubt by the time the BN 70's cover shoot was done, photography touch ups had been perfected even more....enough to where Lindsey's hair could be made to appear longer than it was. ;)

[johnny4406]

The only way i'm spending 140.00 dollars on Fleetwood Mac is if they pull 'Sisters of the Moon' out of the hat. And I know a lot of people that are with me on this.
You know we're going to get something similar to this:

The Chain, Dreams, Second Hand News, Gold Dust Woman, I'm So Afraid, Gypsy, Peacekeeper, Say You Will, Go Insane, Big Love, Landslide, (Christine Song), Tusk, Never going back again, Rhiannon, World Turning, Mick's Drum Solo, Go Your Own Way, Don't Stop

[Lindsey Jr.]

The Chain, Sisters Of The Moon, Angel, Hold Me, Gypsy, Don't Stop, Landslide, Trouble, Never Going Back Again, Say You Will, Sara, Tusk, Go Your Own Way, Seven Wonders, Little Lies, Dreams, Rhiannon, I'm So Afraid, Gold Dust Woman, Monday Morning, I Don't Want To Know, Silver Springs, Landslide, Big Love.

I don't know what shows you went to, but Come got the biggest applause of the show at mine. A standing ovation, in fact. People who went out for beer came back and spilled them jumping up and down and screaming at the end of that song.

:shrug:

[Lindsey Jr.]

I'll add a "This shoulda been SYW"-section to my sig tomorrow...

:]

[Zombie]

Yet, they oddly could not do something about his chest...

[michelej1]

They should do the same setlist, but they should switch up singing lead on the songs. Stevie can do Lindsey's and vice versa. Then, the focused fans will have something "new" and the casual fans will get to hear the "hits.":laugh:

I remember that working out well on the Stevie Nicks/Don Henley "Two Voices" tour. It was a total surprise, starting with Stevie walking out on "Hotel California" and Don singing on "Gold Dust Woman." The audience went nuts. I wonder how this would work with Stevie singing on something like "Go Your Own Way" and Lindsey on "Dreams." I do think it's an interesting idea. :laugh:

I don't think GDW worked out as well as Hotel California did. But yeah, Stevie coming out for that song was sensational. People who were there the first night and didn't know about it in advance must have been absolutely bonkers. I mean, going in blind, I would expect them to duet at some point, but not at that juncture. Michele

[iamnotafraid]

I really enjoyed the song "Come" at the concert I went to.
Lindsey really rocked out on that one.
At least it was something new.

[PenguinHead]

They are trendsetters. There's no doubt about that.

So, I guess I understand the "unleashed" title now. They're unleashed from the hardship of trying to present new music to an unreceptive crowd.

Michele

That's a good one!:lol:

Sad funny but so true.

[SteveMacD]

Or maybe Mick's going to show us more than just his wooden balls this time! :eek:

You know, coming from you that sound totally wrong.

[StreetAngel86]

Gypsy, Seven Wonders, Freedom, maybe Big Love with the full band.

I vote for

EVERYBODY FINDS OUT

with a full orchestra :nod::D:nod:


but i could easily be bought with Frozen Love instead ;)

This is potentially very frightening but probably very close to what they're planning on doing. Since this is the "Hits" tour and many of the hits were Christine's songs, I am wondering how many of her songs they'll end up doing and who will be doing the vocals. During the whole Sheryl Crow discussion a few months back, I think either Stevie or Lindsey mentioned that one of the background vocalists would be singing Christine's parts. I was actually playing FM's Best of CD's in my car the other day and trying to envision Stevie and Lindsey singing Christine's songs live. I think it depends on the song. I think it would work with some of her songs but definitely not all.

[kennation]

I think that we sometimes allow ourselves to be really hard on people, and sometimes bring ourselves down in the process.

This band has given 30+ years of themselves, creativity, and energy. If they want to take it easy and just play what they love then... I am there. If they are playing what THEY enjoy, I am sure you will find that they will play it better. I guess I am one of those hardcore fans who just want to see them together and want to experience it with other people who feel the same.

Personally, I do not care what is on the set list, new or old- or who wrote it. I am just there for an atmosphere that I have grown to depend on for nearly half of my life. It is the experience of seeing Stevie step up to a microphone draped in chiffon. It is the intensity Lindsey has when he tears a guitar apart! I look forward to these things. This is why I pay the big money, and why I am never dissapointed.

So, let's hope that THEY are "UNLEASHED" from the restraints of what is expected; and hope they actaully have a GREAT time doing what they love to do.

But nevertheless, I probably will.

Honestly, Michele, I look at it like a job. They do this job how many nights in a row? It's like serving tables. (Hold on this analogy may get a little, "if-y"...) I serve tables, and it's exhausting. However, I like doing it. I mean, it's still work, but on some level... I enjoy it. I am in school to do other things, but I think I will always serve tables. So, to me, FM is just doing their job. Since it is a job that they like they are able to enjoy it more. So, if they decide what THEY want to do and do it the way THEY want, then maybe it will be great. Again, it's just my opinion. Doesn't mean much, but there ya go. (Some reasoning behind my mad comment. LOL)

Well, I think Lindsey definitely enjoyed his GOS tour and UTS as well. I think Stevie loved touring with Tom Petty. Whether they will love or enjoy this Unleashed thing is a different story and I don't buy this thing about them feeling liberated about not having a new album. I don't think that's making it exciting for them at all.

But my feeling is that they don't have to like it, as long as I do and I'm sure I will! Same thing goes for Christine. I don't care about her being at peace and happy. I'd rather she leave me at peace and happy.

OMG:lol: I dont know if you meant that to be funny or not, but i almost lost my drink.:lol: Anyway, I *HOPE* that they do enjoy this tour, I think they enjoyed the dance tour and say you will had its problem moments maybe yes, but along with raking in money, I really want to believe that this is them giving it another try in hopes that they will enjoy it too.

HAHAHAH!, Michele, you crack me up. I am all about watching the artist do what they do, and enjoy it. Once I went to see Cher and that lady was DRAGGIN!!!! You could tell she hated it. Since then, I have really watched artists closely.

Now, I can't say that I share your opinion about Christine, but I am ok with her not being there.

Ya know what I am growing tired of reading??? "This is all about money... I can't afford it... I am not paying that much to hear RUMOURS, all over!!!" It makes me sad that these people don't have the money, but that also means that if you don't go then they will stop charging as much.

You know that I bought an ILAA package w/Meet and Greet so- I can not afford to eat for the next two months, but I did it because I know they will rock.

I did it because it's FLEETWOOD MAC and I am complaining~ unless they cancel the tour, lol...

Will this be the first time you have seen them?

I saw the SYW show quite a few times, first and second leg, and I never felt that the performances were flagging, so I have high hopes like you do. I guess the lure and adrenalin involved in performing for a live audience is always exciting and enjoyable for them. It's just the other stuff that's attendant with a tour that gets to be a bit much, especially when there's no camraderie in the band to make all that time on the road pass more quickly. But the exhilaration of playing large venues is sure to rev them up, when they're in front of us, at least. When the stage is dead and empty and the band has all gone home . . . that's when the unhappiness begins!

Kennation,

I first saw Cher in 1978 and I last saw her this September. I didn't get the feeling she wasn't up for the show, but I did notice she spent a LOT of time off stage. Of course, I forgave her because she had a tribute to Sonny in the show that moved me no end. Keep in mind, she's always had a Sonny tribute in her show, so I was just expecting more of the film clips she'd been using for decades. But she had the Caesar's Palace set and staging to work with this time and that allowed her to use videos of him the size of buildings. In addition to playing one of my favorite songs of his (no, not Needles and Pins): It's the Little Things, a song I never hear out in public. So, I guess I was so wrapped up in that nostalgia that I didn't pay attention to Cher's energy level, or lack thereof:lol:.


Regarding Christine, I don't know if that came out the reverse of what I intended or not. When I said I wanted her to leave me at peace, I meant I want her to come back, because I'm not at peace with her gone. I want her to return and perform with them just once more, to say goodbye. I don't care if she's happy in retirement or not, I'm not happy in her retirement.

The last time (& I mean the last time) I saw Fleetwood was in Orange County in 2003. I just about fell asleep -- in the front row. I could see that petrifaction had set in (in them, not necessarily in me).

Making a list of George and Doug's favorite snacks, the better to lure them away.

My God she doesn't age! They both look fantastic...I'm glad to see Lindsey's hair isn't as bushy...he was starting to remind me of Art Garfunkel for a while there....don't get me wrong, his 'fro back in the 70s was insanely hot...but not so much anymore....
