SPOILER - Stage Design for 2013

[BigAl84]

Taken from facebook....

I wont judge until I see it in action, but I'm not impressed so far. Looks less exciting than the 2009 set up and a mile away from 2003/2004.

[The Catdancer]

It's not finished yet, right?

[BigAl84]

It's hard to tell and I'm no expert, I think it's pretty close to complete. Maybe certain parts move and shift like they did for '09.

[vivfox]

What's behind curtain number one?

[wheart]

What's behind curtain number one?

that would be Stevie's dressing room :p

[Nolastorms]

Wow...no one here is ever satisfied. I am just happy I am a fan of a band that is still touring. We could be on the Eddie Money boards talking about the Geico commercial!

[gypsy333]

I agree NOLASTORMS....cant wait to see them at Jazzfest In New Orleans...:cool:

Stage design and Fleetwood Mac.

You make a great point! Nothing like some perspective. :nod:

[redtulip]

Personally, as long as I can see Lindsey and hear the band, I don't really care what the stage looks like.

[AnthonyMI]

The one from The Dance (video) looked like a giant Uterus.

The pic in this thread definitely doesn't represent a complete product. Those black brackets on top of the background curtains are definitely meant to hold something. Most likely they are for photo/video projection screens.

I still hope they bring back their famous moon/tree background of yore one of these days. :thumbsup:

[mottabam]

I think it is going to look great. Hard to judge just with the hardware and no lighting, but it has a classy feel to it. Curious how the 2 pieces in the center work, screen, video monitor or just lighting?
At any rate can't wait for Columbus!

[HejiraNYC]

I'm not saying that they should have inflatable pigs and confetti cannons around the stage, but given the price of tickets, you would think they would put some investment into the production of their live show. Sure, it's one thing if they are the kind of band that is loosey-goosey with the setlist from night to night. But their setlists are totally etched in concrete; they can definitely put some technical elements into the show. Or do something completely different for them, e.g., a second "B" stage, lasers, a string section... a holographic Christine McVie :eek:. There are plenty of cool things they can do without adversely impacting the integrity of their musical performance.

Ooh. I love that idea!

Aside, your point is on the mark.

As long as I can just see Lindsey I don't give a hoot about anything else! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::D:D:D

There is no doubt in my mind that the minimalist stage design is directly dictated by Lindsey. According to Stevie he's the one responsible for her granny getups on the Say You Will tour... he told her to tone down her wardobe & twirling so they could focus on the music.

There are plenty of cool things they can do without adversely impacting the integrity of their musical performance.

Might I suggest reviving the old moon/tree backdrop again? :D

This one's pretty cool, too... reminds me of the animated Hobbit movie from the 70s:

[HejiraNYC]

^^ I think that might be a tad retro. But I can totally see how they could bring that motif into the 21st century by having an animated LED curtain with the tree, perhaps losing and gaining leaves during the course of the show. One band that took production to the outer extreme is Coldplay. For their most recent tour behind Xylo Myloto, they handed out LED bracelets to everybody attending the show, and they would be activated/lit up in unison via a remote control. Apparently it cost them about $500,000 per show to do this! :eek: And this is on top of all the other things packed into their show- bouncing balloons, multiple stages, confetti cannons, lasers, dry ice, catwalks, etc. And their tickets were still cheaper than FM. :eek:

I'm all about the music and I don't care so much for all the bells and whistles, after all, we're not going to a Lady Gaga or Madonna concert here. HOWEVER, I AGREE SOMEWHAT with the above post.
I'm surprised that Fleetwood Mac have never tried to flash up their live show with vintage videos, clips and a montage of visuals FROM THE PAST.....For example, I went to see Cher about 10 years ago. In the middle of her set, she played a montage of videos from The Sonny & Cher Show, movies, interviews, old concert footage, etc.....It melded quite nicely into the new show....PLUS, the old video footage is very sentimental and cathartic. I know Fleetwood Mac are never going to have backup dancers and costumes like Cher (and I don't expect it), I wish they would include more visuals in their shows, especially with all the technology that's available now. The possibilities are endless......But, they just seem to do the same tour, time after time......I LOVE THE MAC and I"M all about the simplicity of just hearing the music.....but please spice it up a little......throw us a bone, what gives? I would like the 2013 TOUR to be JUST A LITTLE LESS PREDICTABLE !!!!:shrug:

[LB Freakazoid]

It kinds looks like there is some video mapping going on for the backround.... And the typical side screens for Imag.....
Lighting looks interesting - anyone know who the LD is? A great LD can make a blank stage look unbelievable...
The sound looks awesome.
And that big board stage right/audience left? Is that the working set list??? I'd be curious to see what has been crossed out.... How 'bout a picture of THAT!:nod:

And she actually dueted with Sonny on "It's The Little Things" using footage where he was singing his part of the song in their Good Times movie while she sang her part live, ala what Natalie Cole did with her father. FM could definitely do something like this using video of Christine. Unless they think it's kind of macabre since Christine isn't dead.

me too, but for me that means changes in the setlist, different songs on different days etc. for me, it's all about the music.

if i wanted to see a Vegas show i'd go to Vegas.:shrug: that said, there are bands i've seen recently that had nice discrete stage video effects blending with showing the band performing on the big screen behind them, highlighting that we were watching a rock concert (perhaps with a certain message) and not a theatrical performance. i'm ok with that, but i'd be just as ok without it too.

unfortunately, from everything i read around here, seems that FM changing their setlists around would be just as shocking as if they would have all these videos, photos, and effects people seem to crave.

they can skype her in from England :D :thumbsup:

yup i'm happy about these... i've seen some bands live that not only didn't log their own video screens around but wouldn't pay for the existing video screen in the arena to be used... and the show tickets were pretty close to the FM prices. all they had was a bit of lighting and sound. but the sound was great!


And that big board stage right/audience left? Is that the working set list??? I'd be curious to see what has been crossed out.... How 'bout a picture of THAT!:nod:
now THAT would be nice to get a hold of! :cool:

[desertangel]

Thanks for sharing the picture. I'm one of the few lost souls on the planet who does not visit Facebook with any frequency at all. Preferred method, even if I do miss out on a lot.

Anywho, perhaps there will be some stunning visuals in the form of a fabulous light show. The last few concerts I've been to have had fairly austere backdrops in favor of really wonderful light displays; glowing orbs and color-lighted strands blowing in the wind-fan. I found myself watching the light show, sometimes more often than the artist. Sort of a harkening back to the flowing acid backdrops of the late 60s, only 21st century version. I'm cool with that, even if I don't smoke dope anymore. :D

[olive]

really?finished where's the catwalk

[bombaysaffires]

I haven't seen Mac live since the 90s but some of the visual effects Stevie had on her Chicago dvd were nice....

[bombaysaffires]

And their tickets were still cheaper than FM. :eek:

well, that's coz FM "doesn't do the bus thing":distress:

and they stay at different hotels because they all want the presidential suite.

[I'msoAfraid95]

Wow...no one here is ever satisfied. I am just happy I am a fan of a band that is still touring. We could be on the Eddie Money boards talking about the Geico commercial!



Lmao. Most of my favorite bands are still touring and making albums in some form or other(meaning in a different lineup than before). That commercial is hilarious.

Michele

This sounds like a great idea. If I were the band, I would give her a salary just to sit in her living room at the end of the night and play "Songbird" to close the show; just her and the piano. The video could be streamed in with a live feed. A Fleetwood Mac show should never be closed with anything other than "Songbird".

Seriously, if we don't get at least one more recorded concert with ALL FIVE OF THEM before someone dies, IT WILL BE A SHAME...!! I'm not saying that Chris would need to tour with them......but, a one off show in Los Angeles FILMED (a la "The Dance") would be nice.

I worship Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham......But Fleetwood Mac WITHOUT CHRISTINE MCVIE is just not the same, I'm sorry.....

[MikeInNV]

A Fleetwood Mac show should never be closed with anything other than "Songbird".

Funny you would say that. Just today I was wondering what song will close the show on the upcoming tour. For SYW, it was "Goodbye Baby." For Unleashed, I believe it was "Silver Springs" until they dropped it, then it was "Don't Stop." Am I remembering right?

[Neal]

Wow...no one here is ever satisfied. I am just happy I am a fan of a band that is still touring. We could be on the Eddie Money boards talking about the Geico commercial!

:laugh:

That is one cringe-worthy commercial. Poor Eddie... :distress:

[I'msoAfraid95]

I don't think that the closer should be something upbeat, or at the very least, it should be something slow, like NGBA. Maybe Peacekeeper because it's dark and eerie.


The opener has got to be The Chain. It's almost like a law that that one be the first song they play.

[Hawkeye]

:laugh:

What! Thats not cringe worthy. It's one of my favorite commercials ever

[olive]

really it not like they use it to move around or make use of a cat walk and ramps to get close to the audience or need effects a plank and some warm lighting is all they need

I'm visiting Facebook less and less these days. Trust me, we're not missing out on anything.

[redbird]

I don't think I'd care for confetti and lasers, but I'd love something moody and atmospheric like, oh, that old moon and tree backdrop.

Still, as long as the music is good I won't consider my money ill spent.

[Neal]

It's funny, I'll give you that.

But to me it was the equivalent of watching Stevie tell us to trade our dental gold for cash... :cool:

How can you say that? It's apparent from that photograph what EVERY SINGLE element of the stage design will be. Not only that, but what the entire set list is and the color of table clothes that will be used in the meet and greet area. And, again, based on that one photograph, it's all terrible. Seriously, you don't see that?

[editme2]

I'm new to posting to this board, but I've been a longtime reader.

From that perspective, I'm always taken aback by the vitriol of some fans. Whenever something new is revealed, such as this picture of the stage, or a new album is released, or a new video appears, the knee-jerk reaction is to hate it.

In regards to the stage design, if you've been following Fleetwood Mac for even just a few years, you should know that the band doesn't do flash. They very much consider themselves to be a rock 'n' roll band, and they want the focus to be squarely on the music. The drama comes from their personalities, their history together, the way they interact, the lyrics they sing to each other.

The thought of having a movable stage or pulsating video screens or holograms is wishful thinking and simply unrealistic. And if that's what you want you should go see Madonna or Lady Gaga or Cher or Rihanna.

That said, I do wish that the band would use the video screens they do have to greater effect. They have a vast treasure trove of documentary footage, old stage footage, videos, etc. that could be projected to evoke certain feelings and memories during their performance.

As a fan, though, I'll go to enjoy the music and the dynamics of a band I've loved for more than 30 years.

[PenguinHead]

I hope the closer is none of those, but a song that will stunningly surprise us, as if to say "Wow, I never expected that one!." I don't understand the "this song has to open the show, this song has to close the show" mentality. Predictability is so boring. Why would anyone wish for the same old same old? At this late stage in their careers, I would like them to really shake it the set list. They have absolutely nothing to lose, and everything to gain by venturing into less explored pastures.

As artists, you think they would be inclined to do so, but alas, they continue to pander to the masses, oblivious to their hard core fans. They either don't have a clue or they are forever stuck in the mud.

Also, I find that projecting photo albums is distracting in shows; it takes your attention away from the "live" band. Abstract graphic imagery is much more effective, as it creates varied atmospheres that compliments the music.

[GoldDustBoy]

This might be a dumb question, but does the stage travel to Europe too?

Welcome to the board! :wavey:

I think the reason why you may see a lot of negativity around here stems from the potential that the band seemingly refuses to tap into. Even though the picture clearly doesn't represent a finished product, I can easily see why some folks aren't thrilled with that stage setup. There's just no personality or specialness to it... it's just a cut & paste corporate setup with no personality. Fleetwood Mac shows should have a certain mystical atmosphere; a sense of place if you will.

I also think many of us are so enamored with the heyday of Fleetwood Mac that it's hard for us to swallow things like the loss of Christine, or the addition of a dozen backup singers/musicians onstage with the band, or the fact they don't record new material with any sort of regularity anymore. Like Mick Fleetwood himself said, Fleetwood Mac is the poorest run rock franchise in the business. It's pretty damned frustrating to be a Mac fan. The only thing they seem interested in these days is taking our money so they can crank out the same old hits... it's pretty easy for me to see why folks around here grump & moan so much. :)

Why would anyone want the same old same old, wishing for overdone familiarity in lieu of a varied and challenging selection of songs.

At this late stage in their careers, I would like them to feel free to really shake it the set list. They have absolutely nothing to lose, and everything to gain by venturing into less explored pastures.

[krrrby]

I think the stage looks fine. And we know it's not finished yet anyway.

As for the song closer - I am putting my dollar on Sisters of the Moon. It used to be towards the end during the Mirage tour (even though Songbird was officially the closer). So I hope it will end up being that, it'd be a nice rocking closer to the show.

[ShangriLaTroubl]

They won't listen to me! But, I've said for years that they need to close with "Crystal" as a true duet.

[starshine]

They have so many wonderful 'things' they could've done and released all these yrs for us as fans but haven't except churn out the same old same old stuff. I'll never understand not officially releasing the 'un' released material. Because yes if they have released some of it there is still so much more NOT released. (That we all know of that is). Same for DVD's etc. Not just Mac but Stevie solo and I guess you could add Lindsey solo as well. And unreleased outtake photos too. Really there 'web site' should be the best but other fan web sites have always been better. Same for Stevie's web site--boring really other fan sites through the yrs have been tons better which shouldn't be but is. I've stopped going to concerts for both Mac & Stevie because of the same old set lists as well as the ticket prices its just not worth it all. I've seen them before so I have those memories. Life does go on. The one's that suffer are us as fans. I guess I'll say they are trying but they could try much harder to please us as fans. Maybe it'll never be enough. Really they are only hurting themselves in the long run. IMO anyway, again great points made in your above post!!:shrug:

Totally agree with this post. Would love to hear and see the unexpected. THis band has such a rich and varied trove of music that they could sprinkle among the old musty must-dos - it could feel really new, while still being satisfying to mainstream fans. I don't know why they settle for the expected!!!!!!

I guess I don't agree totally - about the 'photo album' thing - in general, I agree, but for this particular band, it has such a long legacy that spans across the most significant period of popular/rock music - 60's thru today. It's amazing that they're still around, and I would really enjoy a visual historical romp thru those times - just showing to the audience, as well as acknowledging to themselves - their place in rock history...As long as it's not overdone, I think a touch of that could be cool-

[juniper]

oh, and here's my dumb question - does this tour have a name, other than '2013 tour'???

[louielouie2000]

oh, and here's my dumb question - does this tour have a name, other than '2013 tour'???

Since the tour starts in 10 days, and a name hasn't been released, I'm guessing there won't be one. They haven't even chosen their official poster yet. Poorest run franchise in rock indeed. :rolleyes:

[chiliD]

This might be a dumb question, but does the stage travel to Europe too?

No, it's passport application was denied by the TSA.


Not on it's own, it's not 18 yet.


or


Only if it can sit in first class.


{hey, I'll be here all week, don't forget to tip your bartender & server}

:]

[chiliD]

oh, and here's my dumb question - does this tour have a name, other than '2013 tour'???

It's the "HEY, WE JUST RE-RELEASED RUMOURS FOR THE 5TH TIME" tour.

Or...the "WHY HAVEN"T YOU BOUGHT RUMOURS AGAIN?" tour

or...the "SAME SONG, LOWER KEY" tour.

:shrug:

I agree with you that there is much more they could release to please us fans. However, die-hard fans like us are not the ones they are really looking to buy Rumours for the 5th time. This Rumours Re-release will sell much better than some live CD or DVD that we would drool over. They are doing this for $$$$ only. There is no other reason. They aren't losing out because the majority of those buying concert tickets are casual fans that will buy this Rumours re-release. Also, most of the "die-hard" fans like us here will still continue to buy our tickets too, as much as we all bitch and moan. :nod:

[TheWILDheart]

Am I the only one who has noticed that Stevie's mic appears to be IN THE MIDDLE of the stage, instead of to the left? What has she moved over to make room for, I wonder?

[redtulip]

Am I the only one who has noticed that Stevie's mic appears to be IN THE MIDDLE of the stage, instead of to the left? What has she moved over to make room for, I wonder?

I don't think it's in the middle, I think it's just hard to see where the left edge of the stage is because of the dark color and not enough contrast at the corner.

[FierySequences]

Am I the only one who has noticed that Stevie's mic appears to be IN THE MIDDLE of the stage, instead of to the left? What has she moved over to make room for, I wonder?

wishful thinking....but it DOES look like in the middle to me, as well :]

[Eugene]

Am I the only one who has noticed that Stevie's mic appears to be IN THE MIDDLE of the stage, instead of to the left? What has she moved over to make room for, I wonder?

IIRC, Stevie was in the center(middle) of the stage in 2009.

[TheWILDheart]

IIRC, Stevie was in the center(middle) of the stage in 2009.

Stevie was centre-left and Lindsey was centre-right in 2003 and 2009. Stevie hasn't been bang in the centre since 1997, when Christine would be on the left and Lindsey on the right.

[krrrby]

"This-Is-Not-A-Fleetwood-Mac-Greatest-Hits-Tour Tour" as Stevie said in one of the recent interviews.

I think since all the interviews have been gushing about how everyone is getting along so much better, bla bla bla...

I am deeming this tour as:

Fleetwood Mac: Happy Happy Joy Joy Tour
