Hey everyone! Just found out today that I can get the days off from work for the Atlanta show! I will be actively looking for tickets on TM but if anyone hears of anything popping up in the first few rows for 2 tickets would be great...1 would be ok too. That just means my husband can't go but as long as I can it's all good.:D

Hope you find a Great seat. I'm still amazed by the show in Tampa, they are energized and having a great time. Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe time at the Atlanta show.

I will be there! Looking forward to a great show. I've intentionally *not* watched the video or looked at the setlists for the shows to-date. So it will all be fresh for me!

I haven't watched anything either. I don't even have tickets yet! I'm hoping to score last minute seats like we did for Unleashed. That year we walked right up to the box office and got bitchin' seats. I hope it happens this year!

I've been checking yesterday and all morning today, and I'm surprised that floor tickets haven't dropped for tonight's show in Atlanta. In fact, all morning there are no floor seats whatsoever on ticketmaster.

Due to the packages Mick sold, the "drop" that people have been used to in the past just doesn't follow the same pattern it did in the past.

On the road now to Atlanta. Im with all yall as far as not watching any videos or anything prior to MY show. The last time i saw Stevie in 2011 i had watched so many videos on youtube & I do believe it took some of the excitement out of it. I still almost pooed myself when i got to be as close to my darling Stevie than i ever been. Haven't been very active on the Ledge either cause didn't want to get to excited about my show that i couldn't focus on life. Which also happened in the past. Anywho- we got floor seats. Pretty excited!

AMAZING show! A lot of funny moments with the band. I think Gold Dust Woman was my favorite of the night. She has added so much to it since the tour started..It's very powerful. When she sang "no they don't CRY OUT LOUD!!!" she sang it with a lot of extra fierce that I haven't heard on the youtube videos.

I'm tired and going to bed, but it was worth every penny! LOVED IT! My favorite Mac show of all the ones I have been to.

Okay, this is probably going to be long and somewhat incoherent. So forgive me. But here's my review/recollection.

This was my first Fleetwood Mac show. I've seen Lindsey and Stevie solo multiple times but never FM. I met up with Dee at the Meet & Greet and it was great.

They came and got us for the Meet & Greet around 5. There was a slight hold-up afterward because someone who worked @ Phillips was all concerned about us bringing point and shoot cameras inside and had to go get some super special security guy to make sure it was okay. After that, it was good. We went inside and got to listen to the end of soundcheck before they let us in the arena.

When we were inside, they sat us in the first few rows and we waited for Mick to come out. He promptly led us onstage and we crowded around as he spoke. A guy there had on a Rob Zombie shirt which Mick saw and commented on, asking if it was the guys band. He then went on to tell us about how he used to tour with Black Sabbath, about how Ozzy looked to him like a father figure, about how the drummer used to use an oxygen mask. Then he talked more about the early days and kind of how they've succeeded as a band because they have a connection (he used an example about him and his friend from boarding school - they always got in trouble because they'd laugh when they looked at each other).

When it was time for pictures, they set it up so that if you were in a group, one person would get their shot, then the group, then the other person. I was the 3rd person to go, but they must have thought I was in a group because when I walked away they were like, "Don't you want another picture?" and so I went back and got a picture with the guy who had the Rob Zombie shirt on. Don't know him, but I just went with it.

Afterwards, we went back to the seating for the autographs and Q&A. I got a Tusk album and my laminate VIP pass signed. There were a lot of questions about drumsticks. Mick told us that at the last show, while he was playing the end of his stick exploded and all of the content flew into his eyes and into his lungs. "Little did they know, the drummer was blinded after the second song." It was a funny story. He explained that his sticks are aluminum, which don't sound as good as wood but are better on his wrists etc. Someone in the group asked about Stevie & Lindsey joining, which would have bored me, if someone else in the audience hadn't spoken up and said they were actually at the last show Buckingham Nicks played when they announced they were going to be joining Fleetwood Mac. I asked Mick: "If you could switch places with another band member for a show, who would it be?" He said John, because playing bass would be the easiest for him to understand. He talked a lot about his favorite music and his favorite drummers. Someone asked what 2013 Mick Fleetwood would tell 1977 Mick Fleetwood, and he said that while he doesn't beat himself up about anything, he wishes he would have been more present in his eldest daughters' lives. He doesn't know what his spirit animal would be - but he does have one. There is a spirit animal.

Then they ushered us out.

When we came back, we were planning on going to stand at the stage but no one else was up there so we hesitated and just sat in our 4th row seats. 2 security guards were standing up there. When the lights went down, however, the front row went to the stage so I bolted out of the 4th row and up to the front by Lindsey but a lady in the aisle told me to go back to my seat. Right as I got back to my seat, everyone from the rows behind me went up to the front and she didn't say anything, so I went back up to the front and we secured a spot right in front of Lindsey's more center monitor.

The band came out and they all looked great. In general, it was fabulous. The sound wasn't the best where I was (which could be expected) so I had a hard time hearing Stevie on songs she wasn't singing lead, but everyone seemed to be in fine form. Stevie told us she had lived in Atlanta ("Atlanta, Georgia," she said, in a Blanche Devereaux accent) for 3 months with Sharon and Lori and they loved it.

I'm going to go through the songs I can remember specific things about... probably not in order, sorry.

When Lindsey started his axiom speech, I held up my Tusk album and he saw it. He stopped his speech and laughed and then pointed to me and said something along the lines of, "Looks like we've got a Tusk fan here!" It was so great.

Stevie dedicated Landslide to Matthew Anderson and told him that his mom was proud of him. At the end, Stevie and Lindsey linked pinkies and Lindsey mouthed, "Pinky promise."

During the Without You intro, Stevie started on about how this was a song written in 1971, when she and Lindsey had been in a band for 3 years and when they had been going together for a long while. Lindsey got a funny look on his face and then scooted back to Mick and said, "We hadn't been going together for a long time in 1971.." and they both laughed.

Gold Dust Woman was amazing. I don't even have words for the ending. Stevie was so, so into it. When it was over, she and Mick stood there looking at each other like, "Wow."

Sisters was also great. Very intense (but not silent).

Lindsey killed I'm So Afraid, as usual. Fantastic.

I was very impressed with both Gypsy and Sara. Those are 2 that I sometimes am not crazy about live, but they really pulled them off well and I thought they sounded superb. The best I've heard them in recent times, really.

Go Your Own Way was super energetic and a definite crowd pleaser. I got to strum Lindsey's guitar. That reminds me: I'm not sure when, but at some point Lindsey was standing close to the edge of the stage and I remember someone to my left reaching out and touching his shoe. There's not really a point to that other than I found it amusing.

I actually really enjoyed Mick's drum solo, although the "Take it easy, take it slow, don't be shy, etc" chanting was slightly creepy.

When Stevie and Lindsey came out for the second encore, I held up my Tusk album again with a pen against the top of the stage. Lindsey walked over to his mic, then saw my holding it up and came and got the pen from me and signed it as I held it. Thanks, Lindsey! Now it's got both Mick and Lindsey's signatures.

Stevie seemed to put a lot into the ending of Silver Springs, which was nice. She was almost screaming (in a good way).

Stevie and Mick gave their usual goodbye speeches and that was it.

I'm sure I'll remember more tomorrow but this will have to do. Overall, not bad for a first Fleetwood Mac concert. I have videos of the Landslide intro, the ending of Landslide, part of Sara, the intro to Without You, and final bows.

Thanks to helpful advice from Ledge members "FMLex", "juniper", and "elle", I was able to stand front and center at the stage for last night's Atlanta show. My favorite location for Fleetwood Mac. Thank you Ledgies!

I think it's awesome that the band wants and encourages fans to stand at the stage. Makes for a much better energy.

I'll leave it to others to review the set list song by song. A few thoughts from front & center:

- The band was tight. Gold Dust Woman in particular was intense.

- During a Stevie Nicks song, while Lindsey was standing front and center and he was looking at the audience in front, I made eye contact with Lindsey, and I motioned that he has heart. And we did that thing that guys do when they make eye contact and nod heads in respect to each other. Guys, you know what I mean. :) Maybe it was my black v-neck tshirt that I was wearing - I wear them all the time, it's my signature shirt (not because LB wears them, but because I just like them), and it cracked me up wearing it to the show, knowing that LB would of course be wearing the same.

At one point between songs, Lindsey seemed to be having problems with his right hand - he had to shake it out. Not sure if that was a problem with the tips of his fingers (problem he had on his last solo show in Atlanta) or if his hand was bothering him. After he shook it out, he soldiered on.

- Stevie doesn't seem to make eye contact with or connect with the audience. But she was pure Stevie Nicks, and perfect just the way she was. Loved her top hat that she wore occasionally. I didn't notice as many women dressed like Stevie Nicks last night, as compared with other FM shows I've been to in the past. I noticed a few times between songs when she was pressing her hand into her lower back massaging it, seemed to me that her back was bothering her.

- Mick and John were exactly the same as I've always seen them since the first Fleetwood Mac show I saw many years ago. It's comforting to know that some things in life don't change. Best rhythm section in rock n roll.

- I am grateful to have had the opportunity to be front and center standing at the stage last night.

- In particular, grateful to have had the opportunity to get to briefly strum Lindsey Buckingham's guitar during his solo during "Go Your Own Way" - for a fifth time in a decade!! I got video of the entire song, including extreme close up video as I strummed his guitar, and I'll post it on The Ledge later today.

- Got some nice photos, too. I'll add them to an online photo album, and share them later.

- All in all, a very enjoyable show. The fans up front were very good, too. It was a treat to be at the stage again. Being up front, it's easy to forget there are many thousands of people in the stadium, and it was almost like having the band perform just for me.

- A question for everyone: A roadie was nice enough to give me a guitar pick after the show. On one side of the pick, it has a drawing with an icon of a guitar pick with a red circle and slash around it (as in "no guitar picks" - we all know Lindsey doesn't use them). On the other hand it is printed "L.B." on top and "T.I." directly under that. I'd assume that "L.B." stands for Lindsey Buckingham. Anyone know what "T.I." stands for??!!

Thank you Ledgies for being so awesome!

In Atlanta,

Deluge

Great review Wildhearted!

I have a random question for you- I was thinking to bring an album for an autograph at my meet and greet too. You said you also got it signed by Lindsey- so were you holding onto it the whole concert? Did you have a backpack or something? :laugh: I'm just trying to figure this silly little detail out for myself ;)

I was right against the stage all night, so I just put the album (along with my purse) on the floor by my feet. Luckily since I was right there, there wasn't really anybody bumping into me or anything and no one to step on my stuff.Then, when the time came, I just reached down and picked it up :laugh:

i'm so jealous!! i really don't care for physical mementos but i really want that pick! and i've never managed to get a pick out of Lindsey yet. last time i asked him at the stage during one of SN's songs in Philly, he said i don't need it or something like that and wouldn't give it to me. :distress: :laugh:

LBTI stands for Lindsey Buckingham Touring Incorporated... i think. it's been a long time since someone told me what it was. people can correct me if i'm off in one of the words.

My annoyances from the show:

A backstage security guard came over to some ladies behind us and said "How many are with you total?" They said "five." He then said "Well, I'm going to come back and let you guys move to the front in a minute."

Of course I realized it was because they were blonde and really didn't seem like fans...then, they solidified this by saying "I think it's because we're pretty - that's why he's moving us up." I was very happy when he NEVER came back to get them.

Also, there was a VERY annoying man seated near us who said "OH WELL!!!" very loudly after every song. Basically he would say "OH WELL!!!!! Guess we're 'Never Goin Back Again'!!!" "OH WELL!!! Guess it's going to be a Landslide!" SO SO SO ANNOYING!

Great things about the show:

From the very beginning I realized security was going to be very lax about cameras when they let us come to the stage from the front row and take pictures in front of the stage. The security guards even took the pictures for us. They allowed us to video and take pictures the entire night and never had a problem with it.

Stevie seemed to have more energy than normal. She was smiling a lot. I actually noticed a lot of interaction with the audience from Stevie. Granted, it was not while singing, but in between songs she would smile at people and mouth things.

Stevie's voice was on point and she never seemed to struggle. Lindsey had so much energy that it was infectious.

Great, great show! I was at 7th row, Lindsey's side. Wow. My friend who came with me is a casual FM fan, but she is now a full fledged Lindsey fan. She could not believe how wonderful he was...and how hot he is!!!! :D

I loved sitting (standing) on Lindsey's side. I love the way he really makes eye contact with the audience. I also enjoyed watching him during Stand Back as he was mouthing the words to people in the audience. So cute!

Stevie was gorgeous as ever. I do wish I could have scored seats even closer to the front, but I can't complain. It was awesome and I wish I could go to another show!!!

If I think it's the ones you are speaking of I know them and have known them for quite some time. Yes, it was just because they were blonde and had fake boobs. Another friend of mine that is friends with them told me about it after the show. They just randomly walked up to them and asked them if they would like to go up. They are not "true fans" and when they were being ushered up they walked right past me and I said, "Tiffany, Stephanie?! What's going on?" They are twins by the way and they said they were just being upgraded. Needless to say I was not too happy. I get it though....they wanted some PYT's that would have more energy than all the "grandmas" I saw going up. Pretty ridiculous!

He then went on to tell us about how he used to tour with Black Sabbath, about how Ozzy looked to him like a father figure, about how the drummer used to use an oxygen mask.

It's kind of frightening for Ozzy to look to Mick as a father figure. Makes Mick seem olllld.

I liked what he said about not being more present in his older daughters' lives. Well, he's a grandpa now. He can try to make it up with the grandkids.

I think the comment about not having been dating a long time in 1971 was hilarious.

I liked what you said about intense, but not silent;).

I've seen people touching Lindsey's shoe and everything else they can reach! Wrapping their arms around his leg and what not. But a few weeks ago, I read that an audience member patted Beyonce's bottom. Luckily it hasn't gotten that bad with The Mac.:laugh:

^Hi Brittany! It was nice meeting you last night.

That's exactly what I thought!

I liked what he said about not being more present in his older daughters' lives. Well, he's a grandpa now. He can try to make it up with the grandkids.

Yes, I felt that was a very honest answer.

I think the comment about not having been dating a long time in 1971 was hilarious.

I have the Without You intro on film but I'm not sure if I was able to move the camera to Lindsey fast enough to catch that moment... hopefully I got it. It was hilarious.

I'm not sure I'd want to touch any of their bottoms. :lol: Their hands, sure. But sometimes when Stevie walked close to me, even though she had dark tights on, I felt like I could see up her skirt/shirt thing and it made me uncomfortable.

Great review. Thank you for posting all of the details. Michele

Concert review: Fleetwood Mac enchants Philips Arena crowd

By Melissa Ruggieri

They’ve always been a crew of characters.

Mick Fleetwood, the wild-eyed co-founder and beat keeper.

Lindsey Buckingham, the perfectionist artiste with the gift for guitar.

Stevie Nicks, the mystical Glinda the good witch and poet.

John McVie, the stoic root of the rhythm section.

Even Christine McVie, before she departed Fleetwood Mac in 1998, played the part of the classy Brit whose keyboards added lushness and sweetness to the band’s sound.

Though Fleetwood Mac has toured sporadically during the past 15 years, it wasn’t always convincing that they were squeezing onto planes and tour buses and stages for anything other than a paycheck.

But now, after even more years of solo projects and time spent apart, it’s apparent that there is genuine affection tying the onetime soap opera-etic Mac together.

Buckingham and Nicks almost always entered the stage at Philips Arena together, holding hands like the king and the queen of the prom – the roles they’ve always filled within the band.

The songs from “Rumours” – seven of the 11 tracks from their landmark album made the live cut – at one time stung with hurt and betrayal, showcasing the most dysfunctional band in rock.

But as Nicks and Buckingham joined voices during the ominous creep of “The Chain,” with Fleetwood’s rattling snare drum bumping the song along, and Nicks unleashed her throaty warble on “Dreams,” the songs now sounded like beautifully constructed couplets from a musical era never to be duplicated. The music is as potent as ever, even if the impetus behind the lyrics has softened.

For 2 ½-hours on Monday, Fleetwood Mac enchanted a sold-out crowd at Philips – mostly happy middle-agers thrilled to see the gang one more time, or maybe for the first time – and unveiled a comprehensive, 23-song set list.

Since it’s the 35th anniversary of “Rumours,” favorites from the album – the opening “Second Hand News,” the grungy guitar shadowing “Gold Dust Woman,” the aggravated kiss-off “Go Your Own Way” among them – took center stage.

However, one thing Fleetwood Mac can brag about is recently releasing new songs (on the digital EP, “Extended Play”) that are well-suited for the band’s canon.

“It appears there are a few chapters left in the book of Fleetwood Mac,” Buckingham crowed from the stage.

“Sad Angel” is a driving pop rocker featuring those trademark Buckingham/Nicks vocals, while the “Peace Train”-like “Without You,” an unearthed demo from the pair, chugged along appealingly.

As for the rest of the hits, yes, some keys were modified to suit aging voices, but it was still a treat to hear “Rihannon,” perfectly complemented by images of a colorful moon on the high-def screen stretching the stage, and “Sisters of the Moon,” a song Fleetwood Mac hadn’t played live since 1981 prior to this tour.

The bond between Nicks and Buckingham was apparent throughout the show – she in her trademark uniform of black jagged-edge dresses and scarf-adorned tambourines and he in skinny jeans and black leather jacket – but most obviously during “Sara,” when Nicks laid her head on Buckingham’s shoulder and closed her eyes as he played, and the ever-poignant “Landslide,” which featured the two standing alone center stage.

While their dynamic is always a draw, it would be unfair not to underscore the awesomeness of Buckingham’s playing on every song, but particularly “Big Love” – he shook out his right hand before tackling the speedy chord changes in the song – and “I’m So Afraid,” which was raw and explosive. And Buckingham knew he nailed it.

By the time Fleetwood Mac – augmented by two musicians and Nicks’ two backup singers – started to wind down with the sunshine-and-rainbows anthem “Don’t Stop” (Nicks handled McVie’s verses), it became apparent that while the band can be dark, they’ve always found a flame of hope to guide them.

great reviews everybody, thanks so much for sharing.

i especially love reading about casually-FM-liking people newly becoming big Lindsey fans - he's good in converting people! :cool: :thumbsup:

I think the comment about not having been dating a long time in 1971 was hilarious.

I liked what you said about intense, but not silent;).

I've seen people touching Lindsey's shoe and everything else they can reach! Wrapping their arms around his leg and what not.

Mick has 2 really young daughters too (tween age maybe?), and there has been a lot of pics of them going around with him on this tour. so it certainly seems he's enjoying being a dad to them and making up for all the stuff/time he didn't have with his older daughters at the time when he was so out of it.

yup, either the audience was really tame or you haven't paid attention at a Lindsey solo show if you haven't seen women and girls groping Lindsey's legs (and stage is not nearly as high at those shows usually, so they can get a bit higher than just shoes ;) :laugh: ).

I don't even want to touch their hands. They've been touching too many other people and sweating and who knows what.

I've seen Stevie coming down the stage during the Edge walk with those ebola gloves on and I just think, "oh, no way!

lmao.

i do like to shake hands with Lindsey and strum his guitar. there's tons of dirty stuff i also touch at these shows, when i'm out and about, including the stage, and i'm meeting other people, so don't see a problem with that. i'm not eating at the show, and if i go some place to eat after, i'll wash my hands. but i do understand what i'll call "OCD-ishness," and various levels of it. i am one of those people who washes hands at least 10x as much as others.

The Atlanta show was awesome!! I really loved that somebody managed to bring a copy of TUSK because I think that must have made Lindsey's day. Sisters of the Moon was awesome. So was Silver Springs.

On a personal note, I was standing behind this family and I swear to you they talked the entire time, from how to build houses to how they like their mixed drinks. They were so loud I couldn't even hear Stevie singing Sara. Had to switch seats with someone. I didn't drive from Nashville to listen to all of that. Why do people like that come to these concerts?

I hope they go on tour again. I'd like to get tickets in the front. I'd probably pass out though in front of all of their GREATNESS.

Also love how Stevie said something like "I've really got to shorten this intro to Without You because it's longer than the song" So cute. Also her little Dreamcatcher speech at the end. At the end a guy next to me yelled out "long distance winner please" I looked at him, he looked at me, and we knew we were soulmates. :laugh: Glad everyone had a great time.

That's annoying, and I really don't understand why those sort of people bother to waste the money for tickets if they aren't going to listen or pay attention at least MOST of the time.

yeah, but if I was Amy and Lucy the fact that he's all over the younger daughters would make me a little sad, actually. They're grown now with lives of their own, so I'm sure they've gotten over old pains, but ... if he was going to make it up to them, the best way would probably be to show an interest in their children and that part of the family, in addition to being a good father to Ruby and Tessa.

Wildhearted gave such a great review, but I'll add in a few things.

-The VIP with Mick was totally worth it. I honestly only did it for the good seats but I ended up being totally fascinated by his stories. It was also handled very well, very organized and they were all very gracious.

I do remember one of the comments he made during the Black Sabbath story, he was seguewaying into performing in general and how to treat an audience (or not) and how some artists won't even speak to the audience. Someone mentioned Van Morrison - which was funny because she had mentioned him while we waited outside in line for the same thing - that he doesn't address the audience at all. At that point, Mick agreed and then did say something like, "but he's so great you don't mind". Later, during the Q&A there were several interesting tidbits - he mentioned drummers he was fond of - the guy who played on "Teen Beat" is his favorite drummer and also another guy who used to play with BB King.
About music in general he said he listens to a variety of music, but probably mostly blues. But, if you asked him to name 100 blues artist he could only come up with 5. He said he also listens to hip-hop, boy bands (because they can sing) and other new music, but that he doesn't purchase new music as a rule. Lindsey does purchase new music to "keep up" with what's current. He made the comment about how people will say things like "oh, there will never be another Jimi Hendrix - but that's not true. There will always be someone else come along who is better."

I also found the story of finding Lindsey (and Stevie) interesting to hear him tell it in person. He explained how he had listened to the Buckingham Nicks album with Keith Olsen at Studio City and then a couple of weeks later Bob Welch quit and he called Keith Olsen to ask who he had listened to that day. Keith told him pretty much right away that they came together, that he would never get Lindsey without Stevie. He said he hired them without an audition, their album was that good, and met a Mexican restaurant. He sort of smirked when he said that and I wondered what he must have been remembering. One man said he had been to the show in Birmingham, AL when Buckingham Nicks announced they would be joining Fleetwood Mac and they were very excited. Mick was really excited to hear that, he said he had never met anyone who had been at that show and he repeated a couple of times that he was going to relay this personally before the show to Stevie and Lindsey. I wish I had the chance to ask this gentleman a few questions about that show, but I didn't see him again.

Mick talked almost non-stop, I don't know how he did it. But, I could have listened to him for hours.

I probably should have put that in the VIP thread, but OH WELL. :laugh:

Noticed the acoustic instrumentals of "Beautiful Child" and "Stephanie" pre-show.

Great to meet up with Wildhearted & TwistedGypsy!

****

This show seriously was so amazing!!! I can't even tell you in words! The set list was flawless. It flowed so well, much better than Unleashed.

I was a little sad for Stevie (and me) because "Without You" draws the least audience response. The intro she did was cute, but she did cut it down considerably and seemed a bit self-conscious about it, and Lindsey didn't even get to say his spiel about how Mick didn't know he also needed a brilliant lead singer. He seemed poised to do it, but never quite jumped in there. So, I would suggest maybe y'all just let Stevie tell her story and not try to get her to cut anything down. It's all good! And, it's really more fun. I did think it was funny when she said she had written the poem in 1970 and actually she and Lindsey had been together for quite a while before that -- shades of Los Gatos were in my head from her "Gypsy" Unleashed story -- but Lindsey kinda grinned and shook his head and then went to Mick because he felt the need to dispute that to someone and Mick was obviously his closest culprit. Because, hey if he had said it to me, I would have agreed with Stevie! LOL. It was cute how she said "no where in the description for lead guitarist did it read and his hippie girlfriend". She thanked her boys and Lindsey blew her a kiss. I think John is actually getting into her giving him props now. He grinned. I do hope Stevie could see several of us were singing along and I think she got a kick out of us doing her 5-count "ah's" with her at the end.

On the flip side of the new songs, "Sad Angel" keeps everyone dancing and I noticed a lot of us at the stage at least knew the words and it got a great applause at the end.

Other observations I had -- strictly from the PDA point of view -- there was no hand kissing. I'm not sure what I did that deserved that, but yeah. There was not as much Stevie & Lindsey antics or interacting. She didn't chase him during GYOW, he barely held her hand at the end of Landslide - although I forgive that for the "pinky promise" - that was so cute. And, Lindsey did get almost right to her mic during Sara when she's singing "You just ask me and I'll be there, I care." And, Lindsey leaning up to her during "Sara" when she's at his mic is getting to be better than the hug! So, it evened out pretty good for my Buckingham Nicks moments. :)

For "Landslide", it did crack me up how she came over to the mic and she did a little wave at him and said, "Hi." During the dedication, she mentioned Matthew's mom and that she would be so proud - maybe it was my vantage point but I thought that was emotional. She then said Leo Rossi, who used to be a tour manager I think, and how he was backstage laughing that he didn't think they would make it out of the 80's. Then, it was kinda funny how she turned around to Lindsey and told him who she dedicated it to and he was like, "I know." :D

I have to say, I have no shame about riding on Wildhearted's Tusk coattails. I finally scored some Lindsey interaction due to that! We had some great "Stand Back" sing-a-long moments - I think I actually got a genuine laugh out of him on that and got to strum his guitar during GYOW. Oh, I have to say, I was so thrilled with "Not That Funny" - I thought I might be bored but it was so cool! It was just as Michele described it - very angry young man - punk. Perfect. Stevie dancing in the shadows to NGBA - was so dramatic and creepy in a way. At one point, I actually wondered if she was having a problem, but no that was just her doing her thang. LOL. And, do her thang did she ever - especially on "Gold Dust Woman"! OMG!!! She was ON FIRE!!! I have never seen such a fantastic, brilliant performance!!! The band was smoking and she was so in character on that song....I have no other words. It blows every other song out of the water, with the exception of "I'm So Afraid", which is Lindsey's moment. The arena went absolutely nuts after that. I have seen him do this a few times live, and it is always one of my all time favorites, but this was the best performance ever!!! When they came back out for the encores, we had a pretty good line of sight to Stevie and she really got into "Silver Springs" at the end. I was very happy with the energy she put into it - because sometimes she fizzles out by then. And, ending with "Say Goodbye" which I was not looking forward to - it actually was perfect. The arena was fairly quiet except for the odd shout here and there - but they focus so completely on the song it's not as obnoxious if you just watch and listen to them - easier to do at the stage, I'm sure.

I just can't even tell you how thrilled I was last night - and proud - to be a Fleetwood Mac fan! If you have a chance and haven't - GO SEE THEM! They are at the top of their game and you will be so glad you went! But, I have to say last night, the balance was pure Buckingham Nicks. And, they really brought it.

What a wonderful review, Dee.

When Lindsey refuted Stevie's comment about them being a couple for a long time, did she have a response? Did she laugh or give him a look or something?

That's really cute that audience members were doing the finger count with Stevie during "Without You."

When Mick was offering those $40,000 jet packages I know Hejira was saying that he would feel the need to talk to the people on the plane with him all during the flight and I was saying no, but the way you described the meet and greet, I bet he would. I bet he would give them 100s of anecdotes during the short plane rides.

I don't think I heard the acoustic Beautiful Child at my shows. Stephanie, yes.

The way you wrote about the show made me feel thrilled about it all over again.

For sound reasons that I don't really understand, Stevie really seems to believe that Lindsey can't hear her during the Landslide intro. It seems to me that if the arena can hear her, he can, but maybe her voice is projected out in such a way and the way speakers are positioned, they can't hear on stage back where he's standing.

How much of her he really can hear is anyone's guess, but she seems to be under the impression that he can't hear at all.

No, I don't even think she stopped her story long enough to pay attention. But, she maybe got an ear-full on the plane later... more "tour notes" to discuss. Sorry Detroit! By the time they get there the intro will be "Here's a song I wrote in 1970 and Lindsey put to music in 1974. It's called Without You. Thanks, Lindsey, Mick and John." LOL.

I don't think I heard the acoustic Beautiful Child at my shows. Stephanie, yes.

Michele

Aww, thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. I could be wrong about Beautiful Child, but someone else thought it was Storms and I listened closely - maybe it was Goodbye Baby. I get those two mixed up sometimes. I do know this - it was so pretty and I really wish Lindsey would put those acoustic instrumentals out - no frills, just like that.

I'm still uploading the Without You intro (it's taking forever), but I didn't capture Lindsey talking to Mick. I did get a split second recording of his "confused" face when she said it, though.

Stevie didn't even notice. She was looking out into the audience and didn't glance his way or bat an eye when he made the face and then went to clarify things for Mick.

I do remember that Lindsey also kind of laughed to himself when Stevie started talking about one of their friends sneaking into their house and stealing the Without You demo and then secretly putting it back. :laugh:

Stevie didn't give Youtube a shoutout last night. Only the internet.

We also heard acoustic Destiny Rules and what I think was Stars are Crazy. And something that must have been from the Lion King and clearly wasn't a Fleetwood Mac song. :laugh:

Did anyone else find Mick's comment about Stevie during the band intros to be odd? I wondered if I just interpreted it the wrong way? After he introduced her and everyone applauded, he made a comment that "she knows far too much about the three of us guys.."

I took it as him saying she gets around, because she mouthed to the audience what looked like "what the hell???" and kept throwing her hands up at John like "WTF?" lol

I've heard him say a variation of that, but it was more along the lines that they better behave themselves, because if she wrote a book and told all the bad things they've done, they could be in a lot of trouble. Sounds like what he said in Atlanta could have used some clarification:laugh:.

I don't think any of these people ever know what they are saying and they must not be great lip/sign language readers either, gauging from the New Orleans bug moment. Which reminds me, I saw a huge mouth fly right near Stevie at one point when she was mouth wide open. I thought we might have to make a Starbucks run for her for a second.

My friend who was with me (who is a casual fan and doesn't even know about being a shipper) said that it was clear to her that the chemistry between Stevie and Lindsey is there. And that Stevie is obviously very much into Lindsey still. :nod:

Stevie's mood was off in general, I think. It wasnt all laughing and silly and giggling like we've seen from other shows. Her performances thankfully did not suffer, but it was a little bit of a let down that she didn't seem to be in more of a playful mood. We all have those times, what can you do.

Just the fact that I know them made it even worse because I know they didn't "deserve" to be upgraded like that. They live in a small podunk town and listen to Jason Aldean, Carrie Underwood, and Miranda Lambert any given day. It was looks alone and while they are sweet girls for the most part, they were just there to be there and be seen. And it worked. :distress:

Funny how we can go to the same show and have a totally different perspective. My Mom actually commented to me afterwards about how good of a mood she seemed to be in..lol.

Yea there really are no words to describe how freaking great this gold dust woman is. Its been the highlight of every show this year but that Cry out loud took it to another level. This tour in particular it truly overshadows Stan back.making stand back sort of out of place if we're led to believe her last song of the night is supposed to be her show stopper. In 2003 that was the case but the combo of her stand back getting less great and gold dust woman being so much better just gives all the more reason for stand back to be retired finally.

GDW generally bores me these days but I gotta say this Atlanta performance had even jaded me with goosebumps. Her vocals were amazing, she was really pushing her voice to some wonderful places. And yeah, that CRY OUT LOUD part was totally unexpected and intense.I was like "holy crap" did she really just do that? Loved it. And I agree about Stand Back. It's getting stale.

Wildhearted: What a concert experience you had!! Incredible you could get Lindsey's autograph, plus an amazing picture of him signing your Tusk album during the show no less (!!). You will never forget that moment.

I think in another thread someone mentioned that he/she thought that Stevie and her vocal coach have stipulated how she should perform her songs, figuring where to go for certain notes and where not to (Gypsy, I think was the song we were talking about, how she's long been changing "And it lights up the night"). That being said, Gold Dust Woman was really something else in Atlanta. I'm so glad Stevie went for some notes, showing us no concert experience is ever the same. Maybe in some of the other shows remaining she'll change what she's doing on Gypsy, she'll go for it? Maybe they will finally make Sisters of the Moon work better (probably less likely at this point as it's not evolving)? All I know is I get upset when people write off Stevie as only a shade of her former voice, that she sounds so monotone (like a goat eeek)....a performance like Gold Dust Woman, arguably her greatest song, proves she still has it and the voice endures.

Definitely won't! :D

The gypsy change-up barely even registers with me because I'm so used to hearing it sung that way in the piano demo :lol:

I know! I think my mouth was hanging open the entire time. I was thinking, "I can't believe I am seeing this performance in person!"

Right? The people to my left were all gasping and whispering "oh my god." ;)

Wow I can't believe I actually witnessed this in person! Going back and looking at the video makes me want to go another show and sit front row. Awesome performance. :nod:

Wow, an actual belted A above middle C!
These... are the... the... moments ~we~ live...for!

It registers with the crowd, though. At my concert in NYC, as well as quite a few videos, people are singing that part of the song...and then all of a sudden, where's Stevie?? I know what you mean, I've heard the piano demo. The Sisters of the Moon demo could've actually been the final version of the song, it's that good.

This was my first Fleetwood Mac show. I've seen Lindsey and Stevie solo multiple times but never FM. I met up with Dee at the Meet & Greet and it was great.

Excellent review and very well written!! You got to meet Dee! How lucky!

Thanks deluge for sending me this!Here's Lindsey signing my album.

This pic is the highlight of this entire thread!

I liked what you said about intense, but not silent;).

Me too. Someone must have taken creative writing.

I'm not sure I'd want to touch any of their bottoms. :lol: Their hands, sure. But sometimes when Stevie walked close to me, even though she had dark tights on, I felt like I could see up her skirt/shirt thing and it made me uncomfortable.

You wouldn't say that to Bob Dylan.:laugh:

The Atlanta show was awesome!! I was standing behind this family and I swear to you they talked the entire time, from how to build houses to how they like their mixed drinks. They were so loud I couldn't even hear Stevie singing Sara. Had to switch seats with someone.

You didn't need to change seats. You don't get it. They were quoting lines from the song Sara;when you build your house,call me home.
