So, I've asked the question about a debate that's been going on sense the announcement of this tour. Are you planning on Seeing Fleetwood Mac on this tour???

I am not 100 percent sure. I probably won't because tickets are expensive, and good enough seats aren't popping up for the Columbus date.

What about you?

part of me wants to, and then the other 49% doesnt want to go. If timing wasnt an issue (since I'm moving in a month), it'd be money. Good seats are just too pricey.

So either that means you're expecting a price drop on the next leg, or you aren't going. :D

I really can't decide. Part of me really wants to just because I LOOOOVE this band, but the other part of me doesn't want to because part of me feels their egos are larger than the Empire State Building!

GRRRRRRR HARD CHOICES!!

As of now, no. Too much money, and I'm going to another show when they're in my hometown. But we'll see where this tour goes...

I'm not too thrilled about the setlist. IMO it's not worth 150 bucks, 50 maybe. So I'm not sure yet.

Considering their past set lists, it's an improvement. Not that that's saying much. Definitely not worth 150, though. I'd love to hear Storms and S&L's attempt at SYLM, buuuut... I think my sig says it all. :p I can catch that **** on youtube for free.

I definitely have to agree, and say that now, I'm getting excited to go and see them in Houston, on May 2nd! I didn't have my hopes up, being that this is a "greatest hits" tour, and most of the stuff we've heard to death, but I LOVE hearing "STORMS" and "OH WELL" and "Say You Love Me" - as that was a extra added suprise! IMO, I also feel ticket prices are a little too high, and not going along with the economy right now.. but still, all in all, I'm definitely looking forward to seeing them!

The Toronto show is sold out, anyway. :p After seeing the videos on youtube, it's nothing I would go out of my way to get to, even if they fine-tune a few things. Not at those prices!

Hey Lisa..

I've noticed that the tickets are outrageous this year! If it weren't for a good friend of mine, on another Yahoo group, who sent out a link to several different scalpers websites, with lower ticket prices, I wouldn't be going either.. as I definitely couldn't afford to! Are you in Toronto? My bff is in Windsor, Ontario, and is holding out hopes that they add some shows there, but sheesh.. LOL

Ditto on this one.. In the past, it's always been the Houston and the Dallas show, but I can barely afford Houston, and that's only thanks to a very good friend who found a ticket seller with grrrreat prices! LOL.. :p

I did like GOS ....

03-02-2009, 09:01 PM

I must say I'm actually (at this point) I'm angered a bit my the ticket prices. $150 for "good" seats? Times are tough for a lot of people. I got three 3rd row seats for a Richard Thompson show for $120 here in Orlando on Mar 13. Sooooo...for less than the cost of one Mac ticket, me, my wife and friend are going to see a lively, fresh little show. Yeah. Drop your ticket prices Fleetwood Mac.

EveryHour

03-02-2009, 09:23 PM

Yes, Tacoma/Seattle.

But the economy, high ticket price, setlist, and SH*TTY AVAILIBILITY OF GOOD SEATS FOR FANS, are resulting in me going to only one show when I would normally do more.

I would very much prefer a different setlist, but I don't HATE it. As long as they give a good performance. The other three factors weigh much heavier.

EveryHour

03-02-2009, 09:25 PM

Yeah. Drop your ticket prices, Fleetwood Mac.

Don't tell me Tom Petty hasn't had a little conversation with Stevie about this.............

Yes, I'll be going to the Greensboro show. I usually get my tickets the day of the show, so we'll see where I end up.

April 22nd here in Tampa. As far as ticket prices go, I am no more thrilled with them than anyone else. However, I have to say that I dont see this as a direct reflection on the band. Any big name established touring bands prices are about the same these days. I know that doesnt make it right...I guess I just accept it. I realize there are a few exceptions (Petty, etc.). I am just glad to be able to see them again and am bringing a friend who will experience FM for the first time. I am psyched!!

That being said, I think I am really starting to prefer Stevie solo versus FM. She seems much more at ease and willing to be herself when solo. I personally dont want to see the Lindsey Buckingham show. I saw that on the SYW tour and all those guitar antics are entertaining the first or second time....but get old over and over during the same show for me. Once again, my personal preference only.

I'm going to the concert tonight. I feel exactly the opposite of you, John. I would rather see Lindsey solo versus FM. I think that Lindsey pours his heart and soul into every concert that he performs. To me, Stevie seems to just be putting in her time. Maybe it's just the difference in their energy levels.[/QUOTE]

I can understand what you are saying. I think Stevie totally holds back with FM these days. Her solo concerts are much more inviting and energetic. The dynamic between her and Lindsey has gone full spectrum these days and now I think it is just gone. Lindsey comes across as more energetic on stage to me mostly due to his having a guitar in his hands. Stevie, because she does not play an instrument, has to rely totally on her voice and personality and, now with FM, totally tries to take a back seat.

In 1997 I traveled to the US specially to see Fleetwood Mac.
I didn't do that for the SYW tour, and I wouldn't do it this time, for the same reason. It is not worth it if Christine is not there.

That doesn't mean I don't enjoy this lineup. But the effort of buying an air ticket and paying a expensive concert.. I only do that if it's the 5 members lineup.

However I'm travellig to Dallas for a work meeting, and fortunately few days before it's the Dallas concert. I'll stay at a friend's home the weekend, so I may say this less effort is worth it!! I hope I'll enjoy the show. Not a great seat but I'll bring binoculars :nod:

I think that Lindsey pours his heart and soul into every concert that he performs. To me, Stevie seems to just be putting in her time. Maybe it's just the difference in their energy levels.

I can't wait to here what they tweaked for tonight's show, in response to what worked and didn't work for them on Monday. I'll look for everyone's reviews.

Yes, Lindsey's energy is phenomenal. It's not because he's playing a guitar, because many people do and they aren't as kinetic. He's moving continuously and very rapidly. It doesn't stop. Even if it's not a lateral move. Then, it's up and down. I haven't seen the Rolling Stones live, but from the video, I get the feeling that Jagger is somewhat like that.

The constant motion is contagious and feeds the audience's enthusiasm. Lindsey seems to be enjoying himself, but even if he's not, there's a frenzy present that would never allow you to think he was disengaged. He also spends a lot of time making eye contact with the people in the audience below him. And although all he is doing is making faces, raising a brow or laughing, it feels like he is doing it in response to something and gives the illusion that he is having a conversation with the fans. With all that going on, sometimes the guitar is quite secondary. "Oh yeah, I'm playing that too!"

The only time it crosses my mind to attend is when I visit The Ledge. OK...once a day.
I highly doubt I will actually attend one...but maybe, if I receive a first five comp :D
