Adelaide 10/28th 2015

[StreetAngel86]

please bear with me i just got home and have a migraine and my ears and still ringing. I will do better later today. but thought i would post some highlights. my vids are $h! T and my pics are $h IT so i prob aint even gonna bother. i was behind 2 speakers and right under the big screen soooooo :distress: i have banned myself from watching/listening to clips so I have only seen a bunch of Nicole's gifs. sorry if i'm repeating stuff you've already all heard.


- Stevie announced the show as their 108th :nod:
she gave a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig speech about how they don't normally play outdoors so this was special and reminded her of when they used to play shows in the 70s ... which most of us prob wouldn't know about coz we weren't born yet :lol: but she said they were good :nod: I think Lindsey came up and told her something here i couldn't see him but she stopped talking lol and then started up on something else :laugh: i think it was here. he got up very very close in her face and that's all i remember lol

- GDW has evolved into the most amazing thing on this planet. holy wow.
- the Gypsy speech is beautiful too *cries a river of tears*
- there was like some partial Sara side hug thing going on i dunno I was filming the screen and missed it. it was a great version though
- don't remember it very well from SYW but BTLH sounds great, might have been my fave song of the night with GDW.
- Chris sounds amazing. Chris looks amazing. I am not even a Chris fan but she seems so happy to be back up there. And Stevie was so happy she was up there and they all seem in a really great place. I dunno. Even SnL lol and that's really all i care about. okay no, all I care about is Stevie. but it was all nice and cohesive and loving.

- ISA/NGBA/Big LOve ... all still AMAZING. Lindsey is INSANE. I love all his songs live. Especially Red Rover *sigh* that needs to come back :lol:

- Tusk ... i could live without that and SYLM. Was not really a fan of TAM but i like it.

- SILVER SPRINGS ... prob where i was positioned but it sounded awfully pitchy and Stevie didn't go highhhhhhhhhh high hiiiiiiiiiiiiigh. i love the changed lyrics though. fabulous.

- oh and Landslide had too much cute overload i don't even remember anything specific. i think she dedicated it to us.

i'm sad there's no SOTM or Seven Wonders though :distress: i could live without Dreams for the reinclusion of one of those :)

that's about all i can think of atm.

Here, Michele, try out your lip-reading skills on footage where you can't make out his lips. :laugh: I'm curious what he said, lol.

“There is something kind of wild and crazy [about doing outdoor shows], and reminds me so much of the seventies, where some of you might have been and many of you weren’t even born. And I’m just here to tell you that we had a really good time.”

Ha! I'm just playing. No need to be embarrassed! The sound is great and I'm just grateful to have SOME footage. :)

She seems to laugh after he spoke to her, so it can't have been too bad, lol.

Well, maybe I can read body language better than lips! Oh wow, the middle one looks really sweet. And then in the 3rd panel it looks like she was laughing and ducked her head down. Oh, that's priceless.

Thank you.

Oh, certainly, if he said something she didn't like, you'd be able to tell by her behavior afterwards. No sound necessary.

Fleetwood Mac family finally felt complete

October 28, 2015 7:12pm  Nathan Davies The Advertiser

FEW bands have been through as much as Fleetwood Mac and lived to tell the tale.


They took the ’70s ethos of sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll to its limit, with the sex and the drugs threatening to end the rock ’n’ roll on more than one occasion.

Perhaps that’s why Wednesday night’s show at Coopers Stadium had such a feel-good vibe – the Mac are like a dysfunctional family who’ve had some therapy, buried the hatchet and turned up for Christmas lunch with smiles on their faces. And the family finally felt complete, with songwriter/keyboardist/vocalist Christine McVie back where she belongs after 16 years away from the band.

“This is quite an auspicious occasion,” McVie told the full stadium. “I haven’t been to Adelaide for 30 years.”

The crowd welcomed her with open arms – her voice and her songs are a vital piece of the Fleetwood Mac puzzle.

McVie looked effortlessly cool behind the keys, standing at the right hand of former husband and bass player John McVie who was, together with mercurial drummer Mick Fleetwood, rocking the “Morris dancers on acid” look. Stevie Nicks was front and centre, the eternal waif, and next to her was guitarist and vocalist – and former lover – Lindsey Buckingham, looking youthful and handsome in jeans and a sports coat.

REVIEW: FLEETWOOD MAC AT COOPERS STADIUM

http://ripitup.com.au/music/review-fleetwood-mac-at-coopers-stadium#.VjLNxrerRhE

Words by David Knight October 30, 2015, Rip It Up

Recalling the sports stadium vibe of Fleetwood Mac’s Tusk video, Coopers Stadium was an apt setting for one of the last true stadium bands (who surprisingly admitted they rarely play outdoor concerts).

On what could be their last tour, the classic line-up (sorry Peter Green fans) was in fine form in front of a diverse crowd that ranged from baby boomers to 30-somethings raised on their parents’ Fleetwood Mac albums and 20-something women dressed in their best Stevie Nicks-inspired gear. The post-1975 Fleetwood Mac era is one that has it detractors but the all-ages crowd proved how the Nicks/Buckingham era of the band has only become more influential as the years have progressed; excellent songwriting lasts as fashion fades.

Angus & Julia Stone seemed an odd opening choice but they represented a large percentage of the crowd, the children of the original fans. With four back-up musicians, the Stone siblings showed why they were a much better choice than the kinds of acts that usually get picked for these sort of tours (such as Jimmy Barnes or, god forbid, John Farnham), as their Nicks-influenced Gypsy mysticism was prevalent during their largely rock/blues set. The siblings also seemed humbled by the occasion; paying tribute to the headline act once they finished.

I’ve never described a concert as sweet before but the reunited transatlantic group was just that, as former partners Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham walked to the stage hand-in-hand, and Nicks blew kisses to long-time absentee Christine McVie (who has been living the quiet life in her English castle for the past 16 years). The dysfunction behind some of pop and rock’s greatest moments seemed to be all but forgotten. Beginning with The Chain, McVie’s brilliant You Make Loving Fun showed why she is the secret cog in the Fleetwood Mac machine. As one of the most underrated pop hit makers of the ‘70s and ‘80s, McVie’s collection of earnest pop (Little Lies, Everywhere, Think About Me and Say You Love Me) were some of the highlights of a greatest hits concert few bands could match.

Nicks’ Rhiannon was an early crowd-pleaser, as the audience up front temporarily got off their seats for the early Nicks/Buckingham Mac era classic. The light rig lowered for Buckingham’s experimental pop masterpiece Tusk, with the energetic visionary of the band (who looks extremely fit at 66 years of age) excited by the rousing performance of Tusk, jumping up and down at the completion of the marching band classic.

The middle of the show largely showcased Nicks and Buckingham, who proved to be one of the greatest ring-ins in music history when Mick Fleetwood recruited the struggling duo and they helped to turn his blues outfit into a stadium rock/pop behemoth in the mid-‘70s. Buckingham performed a rousing solo rendition of Big Love while Nicks’ Landside showed that famous husky voice has lost none of its enigma even though Nicks doesn’t twirl with as much as ease as she once did. Gold Dust Woman was pure magic before Go Your Own Way closed proceedings.

Despite some cheesy moments (drum solos and ‘inspiring’ anecdotes in-between tracks), you could feel the love between the band, who had to cancel their 2013 Australian tour due to John McVie’s (who played his bass unceremoniously in the background) cancer scare.

From a selfish music lover’s point of view, the positive to take from the 2013 cancellation is that the 2015 tour saw Adelaide witness the full classic line-up, complete with John McVie’s former wife, Christine, who drove home her influence with two of the encore’s highlights: Don’t Stop and a beautiful rendition of Songbird.

A brilliant night for young and old.
