To anyone going to Mick's meet and greet:

[Wdm6789]

Hello fellow ledgies, if anyone is going to Mick's meet and greet, please tell Mick to communicate with the rest of the band how badly all the fans want to see them perform Hold Me. It seems like it's the most wanted/requested song, and all the fans would love it so much. Tell Mick we all want Hold Me, not Over My Head.

Not counting on it being changed, but hey we need to try.

[olive]

while you are at it tell him More Album Cuts a little surprise here and there

[bethelblues]

Like in all situations, blame Lindsey! :nod:

[Wdm6789]

I thought Hold Me was one of his favorite songs.

[KarmaContestant]

:laugh: and ask him about Mirage and Tango remasters. With bonus tracks, and vinyl reissues.

I think you mean the Rumours Ultra Deluxe Exclusive nearly 40th anniversary reissue, right?

[Wdm6789]

Let's not get carried away lol.

Just if anyone is going to meet Mick, please tell him how much we all want
Hold Me in the set.

If they really rehearsed it, they should play it for us. It would be much more exciting than Over My head.

I agree. Changing up the set is always a good thing. I don't want to hear the excuse that they can't do that now....not every song has a pre-programmed backdrop. Many have closeups of band members on the huge video screen behind the stage. We know they rehearsed:

Hold Me

Brown Eyes

Sara

Blue Letter

Stand Back

I'm not a fan of the weird video things. Can we just have the camera panning the band and that's what shows on the big screen behind them?

I would be so happy if they put Hold Me, Sara, Brown Eyes and Blue Letter back in. That would make it a little bit closer to "a fans dream reunion set list." Since apparently that's what they were going for. We literally got The Dance 2.0. I don't dislike Over My Head, it's just Hold Me is better and it was number 4 back in the day. Over My Head was 20. Hold Me is my favorite song and it appears to have a good cult following.

Blue Letter or Monday Morning would be great additions to the set. How many times have we heard Big Love, Second Hand News and Never Going Back Again? The set is good but it could be great if they cut out some of the dead wood. There is an arsenal of songs that never get played.

[KarmaContestant]

Yes! :laugh:

[Macfan4life]

LOL I don't think at a meet and greet would be the place to complain about the set list. They are prepared to do the songs they practiced for each night. It would be an awkward request and it would never be honored.

I know, I know. But we only get this one chance. That leaked set list from 9/8 with 26 songs would have been awesome.

[LB Freakazoid]

I would be curious if Mick, or anyone in the band, has heard about or read Richard Dashut's tumbler blog..... And if they have, what do they think?

[Villavic]

I'm going on saturday and still not decided what to ask him, but the Mirage remaster issue is a must.

[ViscountViktor]

Please do consider asking about Hold Me and Richard Dashut's blog!

[welcomechris]

And the NEW FLEETWOOD MAC ALBUM

[bethelblues]

Dear Mick, how much of the show is pre-recorded? Why doesn't Stevie do meet and greets? Why are Stevie and Lindsey playing almost the exact same songs from the tour last year? Why are you so bad at managing your money? All would be fun...lol No, Mick seems like a genuinely nice guy.

[Villavic]

Dear Mick, I'm going to Hawaii in november. Do they serve peruvian food at your restaurant?? Here are some recipes! :lol:

[bethelblues]

Mick, would you and the band ever play small venues? And perhaps do an HBO concert? I'd rather seen FM on there than Beyonce and Jay-Z's extravagant video filled with some songs concert.

[elle]

And the NEW FLEETWOOD MAC ALBUM

yes, that's the only question worth asking, in my mind. what's going on with that new album?

[Macfan4life]

I know some of you guys are being funny and cute. But a meet and greet is not about pushing fan agendas or making requests. All you are going to do is create an uncomfortable atmosphere and get the nice answers as...thank you, great idea, etc.

Its a hello, take a photo, thanks for coming moment. Mick has played for over a half a century and met millions of fans. To pester him with Why why why questions is being borderline rude IMHO.
Stevie does not need to do meet and greets. Many performers think that is so tacky to charge money to meet you. Just enjoy the experience without being pushy. All the band members meet lots of fans backstage all the time with no fee involved.

[Nicks Fan]

When I met him in 2009 it was just me and a friend and I told him that people really wanted 7W and SOTM in the set and he mentioned that they were looking at doing spring dates in 2010 that is if people were not sick of them by then he added and he said that they would likely change the setlist then. Of course we know that never happened. I also told him that Bob Welch should be in the Hall of fame and he said he agreed and told me a story of how he got a letter in the mail asking him to vote on the nominees for the RRHOF (Not sure of the year) and his wife got on the bull horn because everyone in FM who were inducted had gotten their official certificate or something but at the time he hadn't recieved his. Needless to say he now has it.

[bombaysaffires]

well the sad fact is it isn't just the 5 band members who sit down and hash all this stuff out like the set lists and venues and etc etc. They are all to one degree or another surrounded by a bunch of voices yapping in their ears (managers, lawyers, accountants, hairdressers, spouses, friends, etc etc etc) telling them what they should do. So even if Mick heard a great new idea from a fan (doubtful; they hear the same stuff over and over--not a slam on Ledgies, just how it goes) and he took that great idea to the band, and even if the band loved it, someone's manager somewhere or PR agent or whomever will say "oh no you can't do that that isn't a big enough venue for a star like you" or "you can't agree to that you'll be giving up your extra share of the pie and then that will set a precedent for the next album/tour/whatever and you won't get as big a cut on that" and on and on and on. They and we are lucky they can agree enough to get out on the road at all… and fingers crossed maybe get an album out. Expressing a hope for an album I think is totally legit.Just don't start telling him how they should produce it LOL :shrug:

[bethelblues]

^^^ That's very well thought out and makes a lot of sense. So all of those other people are mostly Stevie's entourage. Wonder if Lindsey needs to make an appointment to meet with her? lol If I did the meet and greet, I might have to joke with Mick and tell him that Pharrell is a huge fan. Mick's face: $:D$

[Wdm6789]

If anyone does the meet and greet, ask about Hold Me.

I guess the only other tour, other than Mirage, they could have played this on was The Dance, it's the last one all five were together.

[jcalzaretta]

I have meet and greet in Anaheim. I will tell him that his band rocks. And thank him for keeping them together and producing wonderful music. I am not going to be critical of set list. I think they did a great job picking the songs that allow them to sing as a band. It was awesome. I'd love Hold Me but I also love Over My Head.

Lol just ask why they haven't played it live since 1982. I would like this mystery to be solved.

Pretty sure you answered this yourself in your own last post...

We get it - you really really really want Hold me (you started the thread with this request). If someone decides to ask I would assume they will post it or PM you at this point but Fleetwood Mac has not changed a set list from a fan request since ever so I would say it's unlikely unless a new leg to the tour is added.

[TimeCastASpell]

Hold Me

Brown Eyes

Sara

Blue Letter

Stand Back

I can absolutely do without Stand Back but oh my good gosh I would give annnything to hear Brown Eyes! That's my very favorite Christine song!!! Blue Letter is another fave and others mentioned Monday Morning- that song just makes me soooo darn happy. And would love Sara.... *sigh*

[bethelblues]

Sara could replace Sisters of the Moon. I just don't get it...why is there a rush to finish Sisters in 4 min when other songs like Gold Dust Woman have a chance to rock (as songs should at rock concerts)? I think there's so much potential and it's sad the song isn't living up to what is possible still now at this stage in their careers. So if there's no effort to do justice to the song, I'd rather it dropped. Definitely before Seven Wonders. If anything changes, for Stevie, I'd vote Sisters first and Gypsy second.

[BigAl84]

I think two very simple things could bring some life back to a few songs.

Sisters Of The Moon- we really need Lindsey's awesome guitar solo from the mirage tour version.

Rhiannon - as one reviewer already stated, it falls a little flat these days. Again, bring back Lindsey's guitar solo that has been cut out and extend the drum interlude right before the "dreams unwind, love's a state of mind etc" I love when the song breaks down to that interlude and since the dance, it's been reduced to all of 15 seconds.

[bethelblues]

It's fun when songs "break down." You know they used to do that for Seven Wonders. The guitars would drop out and it would just be percussion and Stevie singing. It was a nice effect that got some audience response before kicking back in right at the end.

Yes, Stevie does that live on Sorcerer and I love that part of the show.

I also really like the little break in IKINR.

Also some of the old live versions of Blue Letter and Think About Me.

[streetangel27]

Is there a thread for people to talk about their M&G experiences?
I am so nervous, actually. I'm worried about crying too much, haha.

The answer is yes. He will sign one, personal item. We were told he would not sign the tickets from the show.

It was so nice to meet a fellow Ledgie and hang out with you!!!! It made the night even better!!!!

[streetangel27]

Does anyone have any other stories of their meet n greet experience?
I had a nightmare last night that I missed it- couldn't get to the venue in time. :lol:

[PoetofRhiannon]

Yeah! It was!

I hope you two had a good night! And I hope Nashville is just as much fun!


Gotta think about what to do with that drum head. :lol:

[golddustwoman77]

We did!!!!! I got up front right in front of Christine after the lights went down. Of course, we only had one row of seats to climb over. That helped. ;)

I hope you had an amazing time after we parted ways.

I think I'm taking this drum head for him to sign on the second leg.

[buckinghamnicks]

OK, I'm getting really concerned, guys! I have VIP tickets for this Sunday's Columbus show yet NOBODY has contacted me! Shouldn't I be getting a call or an email stating where I should be at the arena and at what time??? I logged into my ticketmaster account but it's just the usual order info and confirmation number. There's no further info.

I checked the mickfleetwoodofficial.com website and I can't find a contact number. Am I missing something? Can anyone help????

[buckinghamnicks]

Guys, I'm concerned as I have VIP tickets for Sunday show (Columbus) and haven't been contacted (that's only 3 days from now!). Have you guys been contacted with any info?? You know....where to go, what time etc, what to bring with you?? I also posted a new thread on this too. Is there a contact number? Does someone have an email address so that I can email them and find out what's going on?? My ticketmaster account has no further info. :(

[buckinghamnicks]

Never mind, false alarm! Got an email from 'Future Beat'; all is good. Sorry, guys! Whew! Anyway.....any of you Columbus folks want to get together before arriving at the designed 430pm time? Maybe we could compare questions that we're going to ask Mick, get some food etc. :)

[buckinghamnicks]

Never mind. I found the email from 'Future Beat' . All is well for Sunday/Columbus. Sorry about that!

On a separate note..

I know the email says no cameras in the meet and greet area, but I was thinking of taking a small digital camera and putting it away until the main show. Anybody else go to the M&G and do this as well? How did you fare?

Also, I was thinking about bringing an old album or press kit or test pressing for Mick to sign. Anyone else have any luck doing the same?

Can't wait until Sunday. :)

I took my smartphone to the meet and greet in Boston. I didn't use it until the show. We were told that Mick would sign one personal item that we brought. We were also told that he would not sign our tickets.

[streetangel27]

Anybody have any more stories of the meet n greet?
I can't believe my show is in 8 days! So excited!

[buckinghamnicks]

Hey guys! I'm going tonight here in Columbus and can't wait! Got my list of questions ready and still debating on which item to bring to have Mick sign.

Question: I'm thinking of bringing an album or his book to sign but they are large and I don't want to hold them for the entire show, get sweat or drinks on it etc. Since they are giving us some things (swag) as part of the VIP package, that's a bunch of stuff to hold. I'd like to bring my normal size empty backpack to put it all in. Have any of you guys been able to bring a small backpack and did you encounter any issues at getting into the M&G? After all, women can bring a purse so I'm hoping it's not an issue for guys to bring a pack. And even if you did get in with no problem, did you encounter any issues from security prior/during the actual show? Do they give you a badge to hang around your neck so that they know you are VIP?

Depends on the venue for the backpack. I wouldn't recommend it.
I just brought a double-plastic bag to put everything in and then I kept it by my feet the whole time. No one spilled anything near me.

*And I had a copy of his autobiography for him to sign

[streetangel27]

How has it been? Stories, please!

[streetangel27]
