Looking forward to 2018 tour

[sue]

Like everyone else I am seriously looking forward to Fmac 2018 Tour..

One thing that is already interesting me....
Will Stevie be allowed all the chat about her songs ?
We know that during her latest Solo tour she rambles on a lot.

And thinking about it ...what’s she got left to chat about ?
We’ve already heard it all......or have we.

[Macfan4life]

I cant imagine her telling the Gypsy story again. I hope I am wrong but I suspect tensions will be high during this tour. We may get no chatter at all. At least during 2014 the novelty of Christine back in the band broke up some of the tensions. After seeing Buckingham/McVie up close I am fearful I wont enjoy the Mac show as much as I should unless they really mix it up which is a pipe dream.

[aleuzzi]

I'm not terribly excited about this upcoming tour. Coming so quickly off the other massive world tour, this roundup feels perfunctory, a by-the-numbers cash grab. I hope I'm wrong. Maybe there will be a handful of new songs or some deep cuts?

I'd much rather Lindsey and Christine return to the studio for a second BuckVie project. (I'd wish for a full-band studio album if I didn't think wishing on it was useless.)

same.

really hope Lindsey's solo tour goes on for at least a few months next year - need that fill of more new stuff and hopefully some requests! :]

and then i hope BuckVie get to go into studio for a month or 2 and work on their 2nd album so they can have it in a can and just add finishing touches during the Mac tour. that way they can be ready to put it out right after that Mac tour and give us another BuckVie. :xoxo: :nod:

Same. UNLESS they put out some new material (which they won't).

It's just another stupid cash grab. Lame.

I think BV showed Lindsey and Christine how it should be. Going out on a creative note. With no animosity within the band. No drama. No FAKE LOVEY DOVEY garbage on stage.

Rip this FM bandaid off, and give us another BV album and tour! What a way to end their careers! :xoxo::xoxo::xoxo:

I think here in The UK I’m coming from a slightly different angle.
It will be 3 years since they’ve been in The UK and Buckvie haven’t
toured here, so I AM looking forward.
Having said that I would definitely like a new set..

I definitely want you to get to see the Mac again. :wavey:

Personally I would love another BuckVie album.

Also, I'm really looking forward to the Buckingham solo. I have no desire to see the full band for whatever reason. I saw enough shows last tour and it was so scripted. I really don't need more Fmac. I hope they do 30 shows in US an d 10 shows in UK/Europe and a few in Oz... then wrap it up.

������
I would like a UK tour with loads of tracks we never hear....
And if (as seems so) no new Album
Call it a day and do solo or duo stuff

[secondhandchain]

I have ZERO interest in this tour without new music. Plus Stevie has so much hate for Lindsey and she doesn't hide it anymore. I have no interest in seeing their fake interaction.

[Macfan4life]

We are probably 15% of the Mac concert goers who know the deep tracks or want new music. They must play all the hits or get food thrown at them. Its just reality and its not unique to the Mac. However there are some unique fan bases like Bruce or the Stones where they could get away with not playing one hit and still pack the house to rave reviews.
I had the Buck/McVie CD since its release and its been in my car's CD player ever since. I was looking forward to hearing all the music during the show but to my surprise I much preferred to hear their new tracks than the Mac tunes they played. Even in that small crowd, I was in the minority of the minority. I guess things could be way worse. The Eagles just announced a 12 night stadium tour. I would never attend a stadium concert even with the Mac. They play for the masses and the sound is crap. I know Stevie (only) fans will flame me for saying this but please don't complain about the band playing the same songs over and over. Stevie is the reason there is no new music with the Mac....end of story period. She has surrendered her music creativity to the drama between her and Lindsey. She is content in life playing new solo music to her fans but even happier for the big pay check from the Mac for singing Rhiannon, Gold Dust Woman, Dreams and Landslide for the tenth million time.

Couldn't have said better myself. Stevie's fans are anxiously waiting for the Mac tour to hear over and over again that crappy 10 minutes long Gypsy story, in which half of the things she says are not true. And don't you dare interrupt her or let her know she should finish because you get the cold shoulder for the rest of the night. :lol:

An Australian journalist complained about it recently and Stevie's fans flamed her for it, because they LOVE her story. I go to a concert to listen to music. If I want to hear Stevie telling false stories then she should do a Stevie convention or something like that. :rolleyes:

I also want to hear new music and that's not gonna happen with the Mac because Stevie doesn't want to and Mick does want Stevie wants. That's why Lindsey and Chris decided to start a new project. I thank Chris every day of my life for being on board with Lindsey. :thumbsup:

Having said that, I'll definitely go to some Mac concerts, because I only saw them live once. And I want more. But the drama will be there, for sure. :laugh:

I don't mind a quick story. But that Gypsy story was nails on a chalkboard. I did like the story after the show about how her spirit catcher brought Christine back.. :rolleyes::lol::wavey:

I've been absent from this site for a while; can someone update me on when the tour is supposed to start now? Thanks

Not really. I would much prefer another BuckVie tour accompanying another duo album from the two of them.

Stevie should continue with solo touring. That makes her fans happy.

She does love to make everything about her.

[aleuzzi]

Stevie's the big draw. The bulk of the audience is there for her and for her fake interactions with Lindsey and for her dream catcher and gypsy stories and for her shawls. And she can still put on a good show--just not a terribly creative or innovative one. I WAS surprised and pleased about "Gold Dust Woman" from the On With the Show tour. But I could live a full and happy life if I never heard them play Landslide, Dreams, Never Going Back Again and Songbird again. The whole setlist has become so tiresome.

Not so with the Buckvie tours. And no so when Stevie is on her own. "They're better off apart, let's give it a try..."

What's nice is the medium and low draw. That BuckVie show in front of 6K at a crazy sold out Greek was unreal. I paid $150 out the door for a few rows back and I can't remember enjoying a show that much.

Big draws are great for the 75 Million pay off, but it doesn't necessarily inform the music. You get a big screen and over priced seats. And the promoters pay for the setlist blah...

I think BuckVie are on to something. They still get albums and have a cult following.. it's PERFECT.. ;)

[FuzzyPlum]

I'm not excited at all about another Fleetwood Mac tour. The only thing I'd find interesting is if they confirmed they'd headline the Glastonbury festival. I'll probably go but I'll only shell out for cheap seats... no breaking the bank this time.
Otherwise I'd be much more excited if BuckVie brought their show to the UK. For that I would go all out for good tickets.

[Macfan4life]

I hate to say this. I saw Stevie solo in 2017 and Buckingham McVie solo in 2017. Each concert was incredible. One complaint about each performance. Stevie cutting 2 of her most epic verses ever written from Edge of 17 and no Christine solo work on the Buck/McVie tour. But each concert was excellent. Maybe they truly are better off apart :eek:

Of course they are. As the years go by Stevie becomes more and more insufferable. She used to be very gracious about Lindsey, not anymore. You notice how he doesn't go down to her level? Some will be mad at me for what I am saying but she brought all the negativity on this board on herself.

He never went down to her level. She does what she does to catch his attention. I think he used to care about it. Since BuckVie, not anymore. And that's what bothers her. :nod:

I definitely agree with that. Both are far from perfect. All we can do now is enjoy what's left of their time here making music for us fans.

It's true...

I need to try those bloody marys. Soon. :xoxo:

I was looking at my videos and it brings tears to my eyes to see Christine singing Shut Us Down and cheering people up. She's such a good bandmate, such a good friend! There's no a fiber of evilness in her body. I never read a bad comment about her and it's such an honor for all of us to have her in our favorite band.

And I don't blame her about Dennis Wilson. The man was hot! :woohoo:

I really think this BV album and tour was such an eye opener for her and Lindsey. They might only be selling a few thousand tickets, but it's so much more enjoyable for them. When you really are trekking down the end of your touring years, and are multi-millionaires, what's more important? A bunch of freaking drama, or an easy labor of love. God I pray they do another BV!!!!!!!

Yeah, but he was a LOSER:sorry:. Somebody be spending my money like that, I'd show them the door in about 30 seconds! :o

Yes. And no. The problem still exists. The only work around is to install pop up and ad blockers. Since I did that I have zero problems. Works for iOS and Safari now. Soon as I turn them off it takes so long that the site times out. The problem is in some code that an ad is using. Likely Malicious spyware installers and hackers or an infected web server that is trying something possibly illegal. Since the transfer in ownership of the site the “Contact” page is missing an email address to contact a webmaster or owner I’ve noticed. I’ve posted the diagnosis several times and nobody has fixed it. I’ve also noticed a big drop off in number of postings. People ar bing turned away and are finding better, functional places to go instead of the Broken Down Ledge. “Oh Well”.

I'm also hoping for "new material" on the setlist. But I only see them live once so anything's good for me. :lol:

My only wish: Fireflies. But I doubt they will add it. It will mean coming full circle. A ver circular, cosmical, organic thing. :angel:

[The dance]

In the Netherlands we have the festival Pinkpop. 2019 will be a special one because the festival exist 50 years. FM played the festival once many years ago. They are now negotiating with FM to play there again in 2019 according to Jan Smeets the man behind the festival in a interview.

You couldn't pay me to see this cash grab tour. If it were up to 4 out of the 5 people in the band they would have been touring to support new music. The other person is there just for the cash and will suffer through the fake hold handing.

I'll only go once, if there's a date that works for me(versus my occasional work, and pretty much must be Nashville, Indy, or Louisville).

I HATE their idiotic hand holding, BUT, they're the soundtrack to my life, so if it's the last time, then I want to be there, once at least.

Yeah, same here. I think this will be their last tour, no matter what Lindsey says. I'll go as many times as I can and support the act, even though I disagree with some things. But I'm sure it won't be as fun as BuckVie was. :)

[Fannymac]

Word was this Summer that they were REALLY going to shake up the set list for this tour...if that's the case, I wouldn't mind seeing them one more time.
If that ends up changing, and it's just one or two songs.....pass!

Its easier for him because he does not have as many "hits" as the girls. The band is compelled to play the hits so he has a little more breathing room. He will play Go Your Own Way and Tusk. Good grief I hope he shelves Big Love. It was cool during the Dance tour but not anymore.

[BLY]

[HomerMcvie]

Agreed. I HATE his solo version. Although I'd welcome a full band version.

[Macfan4life]

I have a feeling that NOT THAT FUNNY is going to creep back into the set after being missing the last few Mac tours. And that's not funny :eek: (unless Chris is pounding on the upright piano which I don't think she can do anymore)

[jbrownsjr]

Would love to see them open with I Don't Wanna Know...

I'm so sick of her clothes. There - I said it.

[Macfan4life]

A full band version of Big Love would be difficult to pull off. So much of the song is computer generated with ooo's ahhhs' and grunts. They would have to bring in a drum machine to get that sound too. Lots of Lindsey creativity with a soundboard with the song. I would love to hear his electric guitar parts live because those are really good. However its a song that would be really hard to do live. I believe that is the reason Lindsey developed his stripped guitar version to do in concert. Of course they could do it, but it would not sound very much like the record (which could be a good thing).

I hope we FINALLY get a live version of Isn't it Midnight in the set. It would make a great opener too.

I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult. It wouldn't sound exactly like the record- but who would want that anyway??? They'd just need to find the right arrangement. No need for a drum machine.
Plenty of vocalists available for love grunts- Lindsey, Stevie, Chris, Neale, Brett, backing singers... enough for a full on orgy of grunts... blimey.

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Agreed.. they could cover it easily with all the blimey people on stage, indeed!!

[sue]

I do NOT want to hear....Big Love or Never going back again, they both make me cringe.
Stevie has to wear something different, at least with some colour and ditch the stupid corset.

And no idiotic false affectionate holding hands etc.

Christine well she’s almost perfect as we know, but no more makeovers....

[elle]

i do not want to hear Dreams, Rhiannon, Big Love, NGBA, Sara, Over My Head or Gypsy ever again. i do not want to suffer through a cringe-worthy after-GDW "dance" ever again.

then again, i would love for their "big setlist overhaul" to be nothing but the usual one-song-per-songwriter change-up (or possibly 2 per songwriter - can you imagine?? :rolleyes:), with their "deep cuts" being something that was played every few tours but not during the most recent one (Not That Funny or I Know I'm Not Wrong alternating as deep cuts for Lindsey, for example). because, if that's the case, in the same year when FM will be touring with exorbitant prices i can enjoy intimate but rocking Lindsey's solo tour hearing new songs and rarities but still enough Fleetwood Mac hits to hold the attention of casuals, and there will be nothing to tempt me to go see the expensive always the same Fleetwood Mac Greatest Hits IV in the row tour.

if they in fact do some really radical changes, Lindsey plays Walk A Thin Line, some of his SYW songs or What Makes You Think, or they play some of the BuckVie songs (especially the 2 they didn't do live this year), then it will become really hard for me to skip FM tour. so i hope that doesn't happen.

I hate Big Love at every level. Its one of the cheesiest songs that anyone ever wrote. It would actually be funny to watch them try to perform it as a full band ;)

I love Mick's idea of performing a Buckingham/Nicks track and one early McVie (pre Nicks era) tune.

Something besides the layers of curtains.

I'm so sick of her clothes. There - I said it.

this isn't just to you, it's a general statement-- she'll be 70 in 2018 FFS. I don't really get too excited about wtf she wears. Would it be nice for her to mix it up? Totally. But at 70, the fact that she deals with all the makeup and hair etc necessary to go out onstage and look lovely and to sing her songs, is enough. I'd prefer to see Lindsey in something other than the same ratty jeans and tee shirts with the stretched out necks but, ain't gonna happen. I can't lose sleep over it. I'd like to see John in something different in an ideal world, but ain't gonna happen. Mick without a vest and balls? But it ain't gonna happen.

Pick your battles people. The composition of the setlist and the use of karaoke machines is of far more consequence and concern. :shrug:

Whilst some of us are talking about clothing...👖👖👖
I do not want to see Lindsey in skin tight jeans manky old tee shirt and battered leather....

(John can stay as he is cos he’s lovely)

Count me in as far as not getting excited over
what she wears. I just think she'd look better
without the layer upon layer of clothing. It does
her figure no favors to put it mildly. That was
really my point.

Her makeup...while not exactly something I know
much about, why on earth tour after tour does her
eye makeup look horrible? Maybe it's Barry's fault.

Yes, Lindsey also needs a makeover. At least
get rid of the skinny jeans. It's embarrassing!

Picking my battles wisely means I don't even fight
against the stale setlist.

2018, I want to be a fan of them in the present
time. But just like I do Elvis, I sit and wait for
them to re-release old albums hoping they'll include
some rare song or outtake. Elvis left us forty years
ago. It seems Fleetwood Mac did the same.

Christine and Mick are by far the best dressers. She makes herself look tall and slender. Beautiful scarfs, wonderful pants, necklaces that accent her shine.

Shoes: Sometimes I want to rip them off of her. But she's going to be 75. And I think Stevie doesn't want to look so short so Christine wears flats.

I doubt Chris chooses her footwear because of Stevie. :lol:

She just wants to be comfortable. At least what she wears now has some flair to it, and a bit of a platform to her sparkly sneakers. She was wearing horrible ratty ballet flats when she first came back into the band, along with that awful hair clip! :eek:

I think in photos they might actually consider how short Stevie. The one 2014 photo they have her up on a ledge. lol

Those ratty ballet flats were the worst!

I may be one of the few FM fans who love and enjoy every single concert song. Will I get tired eventually? Probably.
Would I love some new additions on the setlist? Yes, especially Isn't it Midnight, Fireflies, Farmers Daughter, and I think we have a good chance this time if Mick and Stevie have been talking about it :lol: but if at the end they decide to do the same setlist from the 2014-2015 tour, I'll anyway go to as many shows as posible, and dance and sing every song like I always do. :]:]

Their outfits are their trademarks, it's who they are. It won't change and I'm ok with it. I love them the way they aaaaaaaareeeeeeee. :lol::lol:

That's because you're very new to their game, compared to most of us here. Ride that sh*t since you were 11yo, and get back to me. :p

I understand that they're trademarks, but it also becomes PATHETIC at a point, that "we can't change ANYTHING, or they won't love us". That's not an artist. That's a whore. :]

[sue]

We all looked cool and fab in the 70’s, those of us who were about...

But, I don’t want my skirt up my arse now, and would look pretty stooopid if
I did.
We all move on, but not Rock bands they live in a kind of time warp....
And think that’s how we want to see them..

Christine, the way she dresses and has her hair now, is the best she's ever been. it's young fresh and yet perfectly fitting her slender tall figure and her personality, and she's obviously very comfortable and secure in what she's wearing these days. cute but comfortable shoes, fantastic jackets and scarves, and great clothes on amazing figure!

Mick is a flashy dresser and looks good.

John doesn't care, he looks his age, and dresses ok.

Lindsey dresses lazily and obviously in what is comfortable to him. apparently does not want to spend more than a second a day thinking about clothes. although sometimes when people caught him on his walks around cities of the world, he was dressed comfortable casual, while other times he just looked like you plucked him right off the stage. guitar holes i can deal with but some of those overstretched shirts are just really hard to look at! i was glad he wore more / less ok fitting shirts on stage for buckvie tour, but shirt he wore for classics was just over the top horrible looking.

Stevie i'm guessing must be lazy to think what to put on too, but every now and then she surprises with something amazingly cute, like that coat during 2014 Today Show, and then you realize how much better she can dress with all her money. i'm the person who would always put comfort and health over appearance so her wearing heels she obviously cannot walk in is just non-understandable to me. she can get all kinds of cute cool comfortable boots instead.

The shoes Christine had on the TV shows .. those!!!! loved them.

Yea, Stevie's boots don't even look good. I wish she would choose something different. And those things are her hands are old and tired. Someone needs to refresh her.

When Stevie wears white, it's gorgeous and highlights her beauty.. More white in 2018!!

Stevie is gorgeous (still) and you are right white would look wonderful

If she’s wearing black because she sees it as slimming...
I’ve got a good idea....Loose some weight....if she thinks she’s fat.

I don't have a problem with her body size. She looks great... Maybe she does see it as slimming, but it's just so blah...

No I don’t see her as fat either, but we all have weird body images of ourselves.
I see myself as short dumpy and fat.

Yet I’m 5’ 5” and about 147 lbs.
And the same age as Stevie so who gives a sh*t....

I'm short and stocky.. I wear black a lot.. but I mix it up.

[HomerMcvie]

I'm the heaviest I've been in about eight years. I'm back in black, baby.

Oh that reminds me of a song———
-“Black is black”, by Los Bravos, I think.
..about 1966..good song

[singertobe]

I'm just sad its their last tour.

[HomerMcvie]

I'm just sad its their last tour.

If there's more Buck/Vie to follow, I don't care.

Then maybe Mick and John would tour with them.

Buck/Vie just feels so much better than their barfed up/regurgitated phlegmwad of the past few years.

[lilyfee]

On the topic of Stevie's clothing, I don't mind Stevie in black, I just can't stand the exact same clothes/"uniform" every day! I hate the same old trapezoid neckline and that one head to toe blah black fabric on her!:mad: Sweetheart necklines, v-neck necklines, that velvety top or any coat she occasionally wears on stage... beautiful!

I’m sure Stevie is not interested in your poorly spelled advice.

Re the topic of the thread - I don’t see myself shelling out $$ given the current dynamics between Stevie and the others. It would make me barf to sit through the usual set list and phony post Landslide hugs.

And I'm way more important than Stevie. Just not as important as Christine!! :lol::lol:

Careful with that Axe Eugene. :p

What would be cool is if Stevie sang Landslide and Christine came out and Lindsey hugged her instead. At least it would be real. ;):xoxo:

[StevieandChris]

I like the red outfit Stevie wore on the Unleashed tour, wish she would wear that again...And the white she wore at Jones Beach in 2012 solo tour (I was not at that one, boo).
