The Eagles set was phenomenal last night. They are a great live band. They seemed to really enjoy being there and playing their music for everyone. Deacon Frey singing and playing and giving a small tribute to his dad was quite touching.
The Doobie Brothers were also very good. It was evident that they were having fun. Steely Dan was ok. I was never a fan of them.
I recorded some videos and audio on my phone last night and plan on doing so tonight for The Mac. I will try to post it all tomorrow when I get back home to PA.
Anyone else went last night/going tonight? What was everyone else's opinions?

They let you record with your phone? I read some fans couldn't record anything on the Classic West.

Well I didn't really have any security around me where I was. All I did was hit the record button on my phone and then set it in the cup holder.
As for my camera, it's a Canon PowerShot with quite an obnoxious lens when zoomed all the way in and again, I had no issue.
Maybe it was something with Dodger Stadium? On Citi Field's website it says that only professional grade audio and photo/video isn't allowed.
Hopefully I didn't just jinx myself for tonight! 😂

A great show marred by a couple of embarrassing foul-ups. The started Dreams when You Make Loving Fun was scheduled; had to stop and restart. Something was up with Christine's keyboard for the Don't Stop encore and they again had to start over. And it looked like LB had an issue with his guitar on Go Your Own Way that had him upset.

Here are some pictures, videos, and tweets (https://stevie-nicks.info/2017/07/fleetwood-mac-closes-out-the-classic-east/) from the show. Of course, Harry Styles and his fashion encourage were there. :laugh:
Be sure to check out Diane Eitel's scope of the show. She's always does a great job with living streaming.

Man, he was really pissed! He kept shouting at someone from backstage. He was so angry he didn't looked at Stevie not even once during the "packing up shacking up" part. She kept trying but with no luck. :D

The awkwardness in the entire stadium during the two mess ups were quite embarrassing! I definitley sensed a lack of uniformity that perhaps more rehearsal could have fixed. Think About Me didn't have the punch that I thought it would; nothing like the album version.
Lindsey's little "we're a dysfunctional family that hates but still loves each other" speech I thought sounded very strategically worded. I wonder if it had anything to do with Stevie not wanting to participate in the recording that became Buckingham McVie. Or that maybe they really weren't that interested in doing these two shows?
However, despite that, I think they sounded great and Stevie sounds better everytime I see her. Sara was absolutley beautiful. And I'm a huge sucker for Gold Dust Woman.
Little Lies and Everywhere are so much fun live. I think Christine really enjoys playing and singing them.
All in all, I absolutley adore this band and always will. They make mistakes just like the rest of us humans. Even though they are in show business, they still have the right to do whatever the hell they want and not care what anyone thinks about it just like the rest of us as well.
I will see how my recordings turned out tomorrow when I'm back home in PA and have access to my laptop.
Sweet dreams!

My teen daughter, who attended the show with us, was heartbroken to hear Harry was there and we didn't see him! The only celebrity encounter I had was when I ran into SNL's Kyle Mooney three times strolling through our section. He's no Harry Styles!
The screw ups were tough to witness, especially when the five other acts this weekend had no such gaffes that I can recall. Still had a ball. The Eagles were amazing!

I also sensed a lack of rehearsal. I don't know, there was a weird vibe. Lindsey wasn't the usual happy man we have been seeing in the BuckVie concerts. There was a sweet moment in Landslide but that was probably the whole interaction he had with Stevie. They kept talking, probably about the Glenn Frey dedication, and she said: "we have to talk sometimes" :P
With Christine the story was totally different. Lindsey was all smiles, trying to harmonize and play with her the whole time. :nod:
And the bows were with the same line up of the Classic West: John-Christine-Stevie-Mick-Lindsey.
I caught the moment before the bow: Stevie was avoided going to Lindsey's side. She was backtracking, waiting for Mick to hold her. :rolleyes:
When they were entering the stage, Christine, Mick and John had to wait for Lindsey and Stevie. At one point, Christine raised her hands to Mick, like: "where are these two?" Of course we all kept wondering what had happened backstage. :rolleyes:

Everybody around me who wasn't a FM fan, was saying that The Eagles was much better. :shrug: Maybe they rehearsed more. :lol:
All in all, it was an amazing concert. I enjoyed it very much, although nothing will top BuckVie in Phoenix :]

Awful? I think they had to add an unscheduled song (I'm not sure because I don't have the setlist) because of the people's response.
AND they interacted with the audience A LOT. Same with EWAF. FM not so much. Not even Stevie. :shrug:

Hi all. Haven't posted here in ages but went to this, so thought I'd chime in!
We only went to last night's show, not Saturday. I was able to nab a single day ticket about two weeks ago on Ticketmaster, in the Field Level seats around first base for a pretty reasonable price (lower than the upper deck tickets were on StubHub!) and I was so happy with them. The incline in those seats gave us a great scope of the stage and the crowd below without feeling super distanced from the action. The only thing is that they were in the sun pretty much until the sun fully set so we ended up getting food/drinks and just listening to Earth, Wind and Fire instead of watching. People were really into it though, and they sounded fun!
I thought Journey was a lot of fun. Loved their set, was really impressed with the vocals and though there was some long moments of showing off on drums and guitar (which is fine! I just saw Queen on Friday and they did as well, and they should too!), I thought the set had a good pace and the songs went over well. It's fun hearing big songs like that in a ballpark! Though as a Giants fan, it was weird to sing along to "Lights" in a ballpark that wasn't AT&T Park.
I really enjoy Fleetwood Mac's set. As someone who became a fan via The Dance in 1997 when I was in high school (thanks MTV!), it was really, really amazing to finally hear "Bleed To Love Her" live. I felt like I was floating. Other favorites of the set were "Second Hand News," "Sara," "Gold Dust Woman" and "Say You Love Me." It was a fun show and I liked that they threw "Think About Me" in there too. It was obviously a Greatest Hits set, and likely shorter than their regular show would be (maybe? at least a little?) but I thought they did a good mix and featured all three songwriters well. A LOT of people went to pee during "I'm So Afraid" though, heh.
I'm ultimately really glad I ended up going to this! Unfortunately I'm going to be out of town for the Christine/Lindsey show at the Beacon so at least I got to see everyone and doing so at an outdoor concert full of people who all seemed to be really enjoying themselves was a lot of fun.

She briefly smiled and looked at the crowd during GYOW. She walked to either side of the stage. But other than that, not much. I would imagine it would be difficult to in a stadium since there's so many more people. How far away was the front row of the stage? I saw someone threw a bouqet of dlowers up to her.
Her bit at the end of how she will "never forget" last night I thought was cute.

"But man, Stevie Nicks... she changes the temperature of the room whenver she's on, even in an open-air stadium like Citi Field. Her voice, sharp and enigmatic as ever, is a national treasure, her stage presence hasn't become one iota less captivating in over 40 years of iconicity, and her songs are just the best songs. Your heart and tear ducts fill instinctively upon hearing them, before your head can even identify the particular tune."
I loved that part of the review.

Makes me wonder if she has new keyboards(not the organ) and doesn't KNOW how to change the sounds?
I know that sounds ridiculous, but is it possible?
At Nashville, they started Game of Pretend, and had to stop it, then restart it...and all the really changed was that the keyboard tech came out and(apparently) pushed a button on her keyboard, then they restarted the song.
Is that a possibility, that she doesn't even know how to change sounds?
I could see that being an issue for Stevie, but not Wonder Woman!:confused:

Heh, as a proud member of Team Lindsey since the 70s, I winced a little at the author's obvious Stevie Bias! ;) I couldn't actually refute anything that he wrote... but still! :D I even saw a number of "Stevie Nicks for President" shirts being worn by fans, but no LB for Prez versions!
Stevie may have Lindsey beat in the Q-rating department, but how many times has Bill Hader parodied her on SNL?!? :p
Seriously, though, it's still great seeing the two of them on stage together. The crowd still goes nuts anytime they exhibit any fondness toward each other. It's a unique dynamic in pop/rock music.

i know i had to laugh how ridicolous that write up was. :laugh:
one can easily recognize any FM-related article containing some obviousle SN bias by one of her wildheart#xxxxx fans on TL always posting it as a separate thread in both FM and SN forums. ;)
you know i recently caught at one of the tv music channels the very end of one of Stevies heyday solo shows - and she actually WAS impressive! so i can now understand what people used to see in her and are probably wishing she still has. i was always just going from articles like this one where writters claim that she's just as good now as in her heyday, and i've seen her plenty on FM tours 2013, 2014 and 2015 that i had to wonder about what these people are talking about. but seeing that old heyday ending of her solo show, i can understand what was so attractive about her - and nowadays she seems extremely skillful in selling her legend.

I forgot about that one! Nice job by Lucy Lawless. I'll still take Hader's bafflingly silent Buckingham, though! I wish they'd bring back What Up With That this season. But everyone (including Hader) except Kenan Thompson is gone now.

Yeah, she looked at the crowd in my section during GYOW and she waved at us. But everybody was drunk so I was probably the only one who noticed it. :laugh:
The first row was probably twenty feet away from the stage, and the stage was high. I saw Lindsey picking up the bouquet and giving it at Stevie (more like throwing it at her :laugh: ).
I had the "never forget" video. It was weird the use of that concept. It was a weird night. :lol:

Like I said, people were taping her performance of Dreams, but when Rhiannon started, many were already seating with their phones and looking anywhere but her performance.
People were on their feet when I'm so Afraid ended. So it's just a matter of perception, I guess. :shrug:
The Sara fondness was all faked, IMO. It was totally forced. They didn't sing together in GYOW. Probably the only real interaction was after Landslide. You can't be happy with a Sara hug and then ignore the fact that they weren't near each other for the bows (again).

Their two shows this year were awkward. Even the bows were weird. Lindsey couldn't wait to get out of there. And Stevie was like: "I'm gonna stay next to Christine." :laugh:

I think he's trying to make a point. He wants to be there as less as possible. Don't know the cause but you can't be that angry about some guitar problem that could always happen.

thanks for sharing that link. yeah he seems to point and the monitor. I'd seen some other videos where you can clearly see him gesturing to someone offstage that he wants something turned up... but didn't see the gesture to the monitor in front of him.

Yeah I think clearly something was wrong and I agree it looks like he was struggling to hear himself. However, as for it being a half-assed GYOW, I don't really see anything different with this version than any version in the last 10+ years. After the Say You Will tour, GYOW has been slowed down, key dropped, and simply become boring. It just sort of plods along every night.

In the BuckVie shows, Lindsey and Christine have been having a lot of actual fun with "Go Your Own Way," spoofing the way the song is played with the full band. They make fun of the tired old poison-dart looks that have long been part of the multi-media presentation of the song. They actually enjoy playing the song together, and the playful gestures are part of that. It's great to see them doing something that makes the audience laugh!
It's perfectly natural that Lindsey should resist a return to the deadly serious stage shtick demanded by the Big Machine, after the lighthearted fun he and Chris have had with the song.
I, for one, hope for more BuckVie. Another album, another tour would be wonderful! Far, far more interesting than another lumbering Greatest Hits tour with the Big Machine.

I agree. They're having lots of fun with GYOW! In Phoenix, Christine "refused" to continue playing the keyboards, she crossed her arms while singing, until Lindsey couldn't resist the laughter. He was laughing with such an energy, he had to stop singing. :]
I'd love to see the Big Machine, at least one more time, but not if it makes Lindsey unhappy. :angel:

There really aren't any keyboards during the verses, anyway.
I have a Rumours? Tour rehearsal(? because didn't they premier GYOW during the White Album Tour?), where Christine is telling Richard?(imagine my best British accent),
"Keep me low in the mix"
"I just don't want to stand here doing nothing, so I'm just playing chords"
It's also funny at the beginning, because Lindsey can't quite figure out WHEN to start singing, right after the acoustic guitar kicks in. They go through it over and over(pun) until he figures it out.

Oh, yes, diplomacy is her second name. She still has the press to turn into a real b*tch about him.
He couldn't be standing near her for the bows. And he couldn't get out of there fast enough. :mad:

Ooooh dear, then she's won, if she can still wind him up like that.

I don't think he cares anymore about who wins. He has BuckVie now. :rolleyes:

I'm not so sure he was mad at HER.... he did stop and pick up the bouquet of flowers someone had tossed up to her and handed them to her at the end of GYOW ... she very carefully said "Thank you" to him for that.
I honestly think he was ready to go and rip off the head of whoever didn't fix his monitor and, I'm sure he felt, ruined the GYOW performance.
During the song he would make faces like he was very unhappy but then try and put on his professional face and not ruin it more for the audience. They seemed to take a bit longer than usual to come back for the encore, and again I'd bet that he was chewing someone out.... Mick finally comes on, and then the rest and LB is last ....
Stevie just may not have wanted to deal with him in an angry mood-- whether or not he was actually mad at HER.

Granted, he was mad at whoever ruined GYOW backstage, but it wasn't just that song. They took a bit longer to come back for the encore and Lindsey and Stevie took A LOT to come to the stage for beginning of the show. The rest of the band was waiting for them. People were already getting impatient, and started yelling: "Come on! What's going on?"
The whole show was odd, not just GYOW. I think they even argued about the Glenn Frey song dedication. :lol:

It appeared to me that Stevie's mic was either off or turned way down in the beginning of
"The Chain"

oh, they still care...(only John excepted) and as long as S&L are still in the band, they will define things as "winning" and "losing". Sad.:mad:
Mick and Christine dance around the edges of the firefight.

Man, I'd pay them (all 5) to spend a day around them watching them fighting, avoiding each other, talking behind their backs, being on one or another's side on a fight.
That's money well spent! :thumbsup:

Really loved that version of Sara. Stevie seemed to be in fine voice for this concert!
