Thanks
the ticket is printed up a on receipt paper and has a bar code. and there is a computer screen in front of register and you it's like going on ticket master at home and doing it that way except you don't have to enter mixed up words before showin the ticket and you can see the ticket if you don't want it you can search for a different ticket but I did that came up with the same ticket..It came up with same seats that I got at home.So its whatever available and got home checked what is available and there is a ticket in section 26 on Stevie's Side.

Oh ok I see how it works.They print them on paper like the home printout tix.

I'll try that next time.

Yes once that bar code is scanned its useless for anybody else with a copy.

See ya at the show.

Yes see you at the show,
the give you also a regular receipt too which I will bring with me too. I have done that before when my partner Bill and I went to see Glen Campbell at mohegan sun last Feb. 24,2012 picked up the tickets there it was great.Ink on my printer is out and though it would be better to get the tickets thru ticketmaster at walmart.Then I know I have a ticket and ready to go to the show.Can't wait.I feel this might be there last but who knows If this is there last tour I wanted to make sure I am there.So if they tour again I probably will go as long as they don't go up any higher but I will probably still go...lol

Yes .The freaking ink these days almost cost as much as to cover half of the ticket prices.I will check the Walmart TM next time.I think the Walmart TM, the phone TM and the online TM is all hooked up to a mainframe servers as we see online.I'm not sure how it works.

I love Glen Campbell .To bad he's ill with all timers.

Glen was great it was my first time seeing him live my partner Bill has seen live back in the late 70's or early 80's at the oakdale thearte in wallingford.He enjoyed the show I did too.We did see him when we were walking around up near the hotel area I saw a few people standing around then this really tall guy with long hair though it was rob zombie but it wasn't he could have been his twin and the guy next time him wearing baseball cap was Glen Campbell Glen is a tall man himself taller than I though well taller than me. Glens Wife was with him he was very gracious with the fans and signing a few album covers 3 or 4 people.I loved the show It is sad to see and I think he is the first celebrity to deal with his alzheimers and be open about it and still go out on stage and perform he was great I hope one of the shows was filmed. His children are great musicians all good looking and musically talented. I read on line that he had to cancel the rest of his shows late last year or early this year due to growing disease of his alzheimers.

Good luck!! I'm trying to get tickets....plus I have $20 free gameplay at Mohegan so it'll be a 2 for 1 kinda thing lol

I'm old school and want the actual ticket not something I printed out. If you get regular old school tickets the shipping is free (or pick up at will call if you don't order them in time) and you have something to hold on to.

Yes I'm the same way.I want the actual ticket .Not the paper printout.I do the "Will call" thing when its a emergency or last minute deal.

I have done "Will Call" at the Mohegan Sun and other venues for Stevie/FM and other artists over the years.

I would not trust the printout tix from a scalper.He/she could make 10 copies and sell them and run out quick in a flash.

Only one will be good the other 9 will get rejected at the turnstiles.

[StandbackStevie]

I normally get the tickets sent to the house or will call.I knew walmart had ticketmaster outlet and its near my house and I wanted to make sure I have a ticket and glad I was able to get one cause I don't want to be waiting line at the box office like an hour or 2 hours before with lot of people trying to get a ticket.I am glad I am going can't wait.

Yes I agree on the wait at the bo office.Plus they could say they dont have anymore and you are out of luck unless somebody walking around just want to dump their tix at face value of catch a reasonable scalper .

I try to get up there at a decent time with my friends .He's got to do some work on Saturday before we head up there.I want get there early for i can chat with who ever that shows up from here and my friend probably go pull some levers on the slots before the show.

Fleetwood Mac at Mohegan Sun

The legendary band Fleetwood Mac performed at the Mohegan Sun Arena on Saturday and The Hour's John Nash was there to capture these images from the show.

[NeverHaveIBeen]

Hi everyone. This is my very first post to the Ledge, though I've been lurking for a good many months now. One of the first records I bought was Rumours, not long after it first came out. I was 13 years old then. In those days, most of my listening consisted of hard rock, but even then, I was affected by the bewitching guile of this band. I am more, much more affected by it now.

I live in a suburb adjoining Boston, but was at Mohegan tonight. I live just across the river from Watertown, so the week was ... intense... as you might imagine. I'll be curious to see what other Ledgies thought of this show, because I have no point of comparison (this was my first FM show). I'll say this much: several times I choked up, quite unexpectedly. I was overwhelmed with -I don't even know how to describe it- a kind of intense gratitude for the beauty these people have been creating and sharing with us all these years.

I will also say this: I had some trepidation going into the show, insofar as I feared that FM would show up uninspired (as some long-standing acts can be), manifestly going through the motions in order to cash in. After tonight I can say with confidence: not. one. bit. Far from jaded performers, what I saw were artists who still loved what they were doing every bit as much as we. I attend my fair share of rock shows, but I don't recall seeing a musician who smiled as much as Stevie did tonight. The others, each in their own way, also seemed to revel in the music. It was great to see.

There's a lot more I'd like to say about the show but I'm tired and I've already blabbed enough, for a first post especially. Good night for now.

nice! thanks for the post! great to see people on a fan forum who actually appreciate the band, instead of nit-picking their every move/decision/action. glad you enjoyed it.

[Macfanforever]

I just got home .I have to say the FM show was awesome . Its 4:22 am I'm to beat to say anything more now.I 'll talk later.I have to get some shuteye and dream about Stevie .LOL......

[Buddy]

Great show at Mohegan Sun. The band was in tip top form. Even John McVie played with gusto especially when they featured him under a spotlight. I think this was one of the more animated shows I've seen since the Dance tour. Stevie's voice was good too (I noticed how her voice had improved on the In Your Dreams tour.) She frequently broke out in smiles in response to thunderous applause from the audience or loud sing-a-longs. She commented after Landslide, " you sing really well! It's like singing with the Tabernacle choir!" Lindsey's guitar was on fire. They had a big screen behind him that zoomed in to show his fingers work that guitar ...awesome. Lindsey's banter was rehearsed and esoteric while Stevie's appeared casual and engaging.
I loved the new and new/old songs and the seldom heard gems they sang this time. I have a scratchy throat this morning from singing along with the hits (maybe it is from the smoke in the casino, but I think I'll blame it on my singing).
One more observation, Stevie wore an insanely beautiful diamond necklace instead of the moon necklace. I'm sure there will be pictures of it on line.
Fun Night!

[elle]

nobody commented on the most important thing that happened yesterday - Lindsey wore black/gray jeans (not dark blue pajama jeans he wears every other show!), and a suit jacket!! first time on this tour!!

he looked slick, firm, and amazing, but unfortunately this kind of outfit never happens at my shows :( :laugh:

[StandbackStevie]

The Show was amazing and had awesome seats not in the front row but on the side of the stage lindsey's and it was perfect spot didn't miss a thing,They burned the roof the mohegan sun arena last night to a sold out pumped up rocked out crowd awesome performance by our favorite rock group fleetwood mac baby pure classic rock perfection.I couldn't stop I was so pumped up and still pumped up only got 3.5 hours of sleep so still wired I will crash some time today.It was great meeting up with everyone before the show and after.So Glad got to meet up with my friends on the message board we had a blast and great crowd.I hope they do come around one more time for Connecticut.Everyone was in tip top form all songs in set list from opening and performed with pure perfection and fire love,love,love them last night is the reason why they are my favorite rock band and singer/songwriters since I was 9yrs old back in 1979.You never want the show to end it was that good and I was exhausted afterwards being so pumped at the show to me its a religious experience seeing Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham perform.:nod::]:blob2::blob1::D:cool::D

Fleetwood Mac, seen here in a 2003 file photo
AP
UNCASVILLE _ Fleetwood Mac performed a sold out show at Mohegan Sun Arena on Saturday night, offering up over two hours of music culled from a historic, Hall of Fame career. Now a quartet due to the departure of Christine McVie who has spurned the touring life, the group of Stevie Nicks, John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, and Mick Fleetwood delivered 22 songs over the course of their set.

It was essentially a “greatest hits” styled performance, although the band did drum up a new song that Buckingham revealed would be part of an EP release due out in the week ahead. The song, “Sad Angel,” fit in well when bookended by the mid 70s hits “Rhiannon,” and “Dreams.”

Other than that foray into new material and a way-back peek at the Buckingham-Nicks song “Without You,” there were few surprises on the evening, unless of course you were expecting anything less than a raucous and inspired performance from a group that is in its fifth decade of touring.

As was the case with recent classic rock concerts from Eric Clapton and Bob Dylan, Fleetwood Mac has staked their claim on the arena concert circuit and aren’t likely to relinquish it until something better (or even as good) arrives to fill the void.

They opened with “Second Hand News,” and followed it with “The Chain.” After “Dreams” and “Rhiannon,” they were able to scrape the rust off of “Tusk,” pulling out the title track and the hit “Sara” before Buckingham’s solo acoustic version of “Looking Out for Love.” Nicks joined him on stage and the two offered a duet on “Landslide.”

Hit after hit after hit…

“We have come to take you away from your everyday problems,” said Nicks at the start of the show. “The journey starts now.”

The journey included Buckingham and Nicks sharing an acoustic “Never Going Back Again,” a full band “Gypsy,” and “Gold Dust Woman,” and a Buckingham guitar solo that brought the crowd to its feet. The band closed out the set with “Stand Back,” and “Go Your Own Way.”

The encore began with “World Turning,” and a tolerable Fleetwood drum solo before the sing-along “Don’t Stop.” The band was called back for another turn and opened the second encore with “Silver Spring.”

I've been affected by my fellow Ledgies.Remembering how Michele said she had been to many FM concerts on the same tour and that no two shows were alike were powerful words that really stuck with me. It was with this vigor that I viewed my Fleetwood Mac last night at Mohegan Sun. I loved this show. From the first note to the last I was entranced by my band. Vocally, everyone was spot on throughout. Stevie and Lindsey both looked absolutely fabulous as the front runners. Seeing Stevie appear to be in the best shape of her adult life felt so good. I couldn't help but think how her parents would have been so proud had they seen their daughter rule the stage the way she did last night. It was a great audience too. Though they tell every gathering group of fans many of the same compliments every night, the Mohegan audience got a few new statements from Stevie. So far I haven't seen a youtube clip that captured the full words Stevie said to us after Landslide but I will keep looking out for one. She was so impressed with our singing and praised us for it and then did her own clapping over the microphone for all of us. I could see the same excitement in her face that we were singing in tune with them on GYOW.
As many times as I have complained about the stale setlist I had a remewed sensibility last night. A few times I said out loud to myself, "OMG I am seeing FM right now, in 2013!" A casual fan would never have guessed they sang these same songs millions of times. Each song was a special treat, performed with excitement and meant to thrill this crowd. And when they were good they were very, very good.
Another highlight for me was after the show really getting some quality time to spend with Caitlin,Skip,Steven, Donna and the great friend who came with me. My friend and I made a whole day of enjoyment spending time at the casino gambling, eating, people watching, talking to strangers, eating ice cream and leaving there the winners that we are.

[skuncles]

All of the videos shot from the side of the stage were done by me. Really surprised more haven't surfaced, there were a lot of videos being shot last night (despite being told no cameras several times by security at the start of the show). Hope someone got an audio of the whole show, the audio is great on my videos, but the view is kind of crappy ( was better in person).

Had a blast with everyone it was nice spending quality time with friends from this board it was an all around amazing night power house performance from begining to end I didn't want the night to end. I got home around 3:15am.Was so exhausted but it was worth it had a much needed to have a great night and it was.

[Macfanforever]

Hi all.I'm still dead from last night.I got there around 6:30pm with my friends which they always tag along to the Connecticut shows with me since 2007.


I had a ball last night at the Mohegan Sun.
The concert was awesome.Stevie was awesome as always.Lindsey was on fire with his guitar .Mick and John keeping the band on time as always .

For a band that there in their 60's kick a$$ last night for over two hours of continuous entertainment .

Most people at that age are ready to retire and work part time as Walmart greeters.I have nothing against doing a greeting job there.

I loved the new tunes and again Lindsey said they will get released next week.

The sound was great.The lighting was great.The jumbo video in the center was great as my friend said.

I had goosebumps when Sisters came on.It was so great to hear Sisters live.I hope they wont drop it.John done an awesome job thumping on his bass.Thanks John you are the best.

As Landslide came on .I shed a tear thinking of my parents and my late sister which was a couple of years younger then Stevie.

Mick was great hammering out his solo in World Turning.

Stevie sang her heart out on Standback,Dreams,Silversprings.Gypsy,Sara.

Stevie look so beautiful,Slim her hair was so beautiful and wonder if she is trying to catch up to Crystal Gayle 's hair length.

It was a pleasure to bump into all of you Ledgies at the show.As I was thinking of the past as I went to the concerts on my own and have nobody to chat to .

Advent of the internet and the forums got all of us together into one big FM family and have fun at the shows.Most of you probably agree with me.

I want to thank Mark ,Steven,Caitlin and Donna and other friends for you time to chat last night I enjoy it very much.


We thought we will get away with shooting vids in the section we were sitting in.we got flash lighted from security during Gypsy,in other then that he did not bother us on taking photos.I still have to go through the photos and vids before I share them here.

I will add more when it come to me.

Very well stated and it's great to still be able to look at them with the eyes of a child or the ears of a new listener after all of these years. Of course, you can't do this always. Sometimes, Dreams and NGBA do seem stale, but GDW and GYOW can feel as fresh as 1977. They define the meaning of what Madonna said, "like a virgin, touched for the very first time...."

Hopefully Lindsey's wardrobe change is permanent. In the Toronto thread, a reviewer mentioned that Lindsey threw his leather jacket into the crowd at the end of the concert. Maybe he never got it back, (although I'm sure that he has more than 1).

The sound was great.The lighting was great.The jumbo video in the center was great as my friend said.

I had goosebumps when Sisters came on.It was so great to hear Sisters live.I hope they wont drop it.John done an awesome job thumping on his bass.Thanks John you are the best.

As Landslide came on .I shed a tear thinking of my parents and my late sister which was a couple of years younger then Stevie.

Mick was great hammering out his solo in World Turning.

Stevie sang her heart out on Standback,Dreams,Silversprings.Gypsy,Sara.

Stevie look so beautiful,Slim her hair was so beautiful and wonder if she is trying to catch up to Crystal Gayle 's hair length.

It was a pleasure to bump into all of you Ledgies at the show.As I was thinking of the past as I went to the concerts on my own and have nobody to chat to .

Advent of the internet and the forums got all of us together into one big FM family and have fun at the shows.Most of you probably agree with me.

I want to thank Mark ,Steven,Caitlin and Donna and other friends for you time to chat last night I enjoy it very much.


We thought we will get away with shooting vids in the section we were sitting in.we got flash lighted from security during Gypsy,in other then that he did not bother us on taking photos.I still have to go through the photos and vids before I share them here.

I will add more when it come to me.
It was great meeting up with you and everyone from the board,That night was awesome the band was on fire total moment night for all spectacular night.I am still tired from the concert believe it or not and it's monday..lol I dragged today at work I didn't get much rest or sleep I only slept for about 3hrs and 15min.I hope to feel rested tommorow.

Hopefully Lindsey's wardrobe change is permanent. In the Toronto thread, a reviewer mentioned that Lindsey threw his leather jacket into the crowd at the end of the concert. Maybe he never got it back, (although I'm sure that he has more than 1).

that reviewer seems to have some trouble distinguishing a leather jacket from a sweat towel. :laugh:

Concert: Fleetwood Mac in Uncasville, CT

Story by John Voket

After enjoying modest success as a hard rocking blues band throughout the late 1960s and early '70s, Fleetwood Mac catapulted its presence to the center of the rock-and-roll radar screen in 1975, after acquiring the talents of a pair of musical star-crossed lovers -- Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham.

Thirty-eight years and several personnel changes later, Fleetwood Mac is on the road again, headlining a world tour that will see them playing shows through October.

While the rhythm section of band co-founders Mick Fleetwood and John McVie continues to anchor the band's material -- including a couple of brand new songs -- the talents of Buckingham and Nicks were a driving force behind the band's satisfying two-and-a-half hour show Saturday (5/20) at Connecticut's Mohegan Sun Arena.

Opening with the upbeat "Second Hand News," Fleetwood Mac wove its way through a hit-laden set of material, inserting a few lesser-known cuts and reworking several others enough to keep things interesting, but not so much as to frustrate the fans.

Since the current tour is celebrating the 35th Anniversary of the monster selling album "Rumors," nearly a third of the songs played were drawn from that seminal project. "The Chain," "Dreams," and "Don't Stop," were delivered virtually note for note from the album.

But other cuts like "Gold Dust Woman," with its extended frenetic jam, the sprightly acoustic "Never Going Back Again," and explosive "Go Your Own Way," seemed to be infused with renewed energy that fired up both the band and audience.

Two new songs that Buckingham teased would be on a soon-to-be-released EP were well received. The medium-tempo "Sad Angel" showcased some great tight harmonies between Nicks and Buckingham, while "Eyes of the World" was amped up by Fleetwood's thundering drum rolls.

The show also featured "Without You," a long lost ballad that Nicks said was recently rediscovered. She explained that it was not only the song that convinced Mick Fleetwood to ask the duo to join the band, but also represented the epitome of love songs generated between herself and Buckingham when they were young lovers making their way into the music business in 1970.

"Rhiannon," "Sisters of the Moon," "Sara" and "Gypsy" provided additional opportunities for Nicks to do what she does best, delving into the character of each subject and articulating the material as though it was being sung from a first-person perspective. Her vocals on "Landslide" were almost overpowered by the audience singing along, but instead of tolerating it, Nicks embraced the accompaniment graciously thanking the fans and complimenting them for their enthusiasm.

Despite Nicks' costume changes and occasional break away spin dancing, Buckingham consistently remained centerpiece of the show, switching between acoustic and electric guitars and mesmerizing with blistering leads and staccato rhythm playing.

His solo take on "Big Love," was unmatched, as a huge banner unfurled behind him serving as a giant vertical projection screen and amplifying his slight frame to three story high proportions. Buckingham also approached "Tusk" differently, taking a couple of verses in slow, free form before the familiar drumbeat and blaring horn samples kicked in.

The Nicks solo hit "Stand Back" represented the band's single departure from the Fleetwood Mac catalog, but it seemed to get the entire band rejuvenated, including bassist McVie, who up until that point, remained glued to the right of Fleetwood's drum kit. The chugging bass line saw McVie moving back and forth to the beat, apparently enjoying the novelty groove.

The first encore provided a chance for Fleetwood to take an extended drum solo, which proved he still has the stamina to churn an audience into a primal frenzy. The second encore brought the energy level back down as the band closed out the show with the sweet strains of "Silver Springs" -- a number that was intended for inclusion on "Rumors," but originally saw the light of day as the flip side to the "Don't Stop" single.

With all of the choices available to music fans and concertgoers this spring and summer, it might be easy to relegate Fleetwood Mac to the "been there, seen that" category. But based on the sheer quality of the band's performance during stop nine of this extended tour, and the quantity of hits they are stacking into the setlist, the current Fleetwood Mac tour should be prioritized as a "must see."

I think it's so beautiful when the audience sings along, to a point.

There's a video of Go Your Own Way from Madison Square Garden this year and you can hear the audience singing & it made me tear up and cry.

The trouble with this review is it mentions the two new songs, but Eyes Of The World is not one of the new songs.
