If you telephone the restaurant tonight you might be able to hear the band playing in the background. Get those tape recorders ready!

Lol!! Great idea! :thumbsup:

Oh I love how you think!

From the Fleetwood on Front St.'s facebook:

‎30 tickets @ $200 left for Mick Fleetwood Blues Band with Steven Tyler and other VERY SPECIAL GUESTS. 13th at Castle Theatre. 40 tickets left at $300 great seating and meet and greet. Available only at Fleetwood's on Front St. KIOSK at 744 Front St. Net proceeds benefit Maui Arts and Cultural Center EDUCATION fund.

If they were in Nevada, Arizona or Colorado and not HAWAII, I'd have been on a plane this morning.

Assuming that Chris joins them, this would be her first public performance in what - 14 years?

Also - holy crap, those tickets cost more than seeing Fleetwood Mac. $200 and $300 each.

15 years. They did the Brits/Grammys/HoF thing in early 1998 and then she jetted off into the sunset.

I have to say that if Ken's updates are reliable and Christine does play, then I think there is something lovely about the fact that she is likely to do blues stuff. It's like, at 70, she is coming full-circle.

Oh please. If I was anywhere on the west coast I would be on a plane. A six-hour flight is easy. A 12-hour flight... that's real pain.

Clearly, you don't fly United. One hour is pain.

Michele

Anyone going to this tonight please, if she is even there for a second, take a surreptitious photo :D:D:D

And video!

This a fleetwood mac song if I ever heard one. Wonder what Lyndsey could do with this.?

Who's Lyndsey?;-)

This song always reminded me of "Gotta Hold On Me" in terms of the music. The lyrics are kind of corny, but so are the lyrics to "You Make Loving Fun," and look how good that tune turned out with the "Lindsey touch." :nod:

see if i said that there would be 5 people jumping on me saying "not everybody is rich, we have priorities". ;)

I'd be on a plane if I had about 12 hrs more notice.. LAX > Maui weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!:]

I was thinking about this today. It would take me just $500 to get to Nevada, Colorado or Arizona, but Hawaii is $2500. HejiraNYC has all those frequent flyer miles. Why keep those to himself??;)

Do we know if she bothered to join them? My instincts are that she didn't go up.

@raatz: Christine McVie looked & sounded so great tonight @MauiArtsCulture. #DontStop

oh. my. god.

*dies*

I think I'm in shock.

@MauiZan:

"Mick said she's not going on tour"

But still. I never ever thought we would see her on a stage behind a keyboard again.

I'd love to know what she played.

Frankly I never thought I'd see her in public again.

I hope someone recorded some of last nights show.

Another shot from Nickslive:

Yes, and maybe Ken - if he was there - knows what they played. I wonder if she stuck to Chicken Shack / early FM blues?

It's a funny old world, as they say. In about 2000, when they did the Clinton gig with out her, I imagined she had just dropped off the face of the Earth. With the 2004 solo album, with her reaction to Ken's book (something about reminding her of and restoring her passion for the music) and with this little performance, it seems fairly clear to me that it's the enormous Rumours-lineup machine that 'Fleetwood Mac' had become she was running from, not the music itself.

Dying. Yes, I saw Stevie at Hammerstein last night (which was fab, BTW), but I think I would have literally traveled halfway around the world for this instead.

Happy
 

Ohhh..... this makes me so happy. She looks amazing, and we fans surely miss that smokey voice and those great songs that no one else can perform.

Stevie+Lindsey+Christine=vocal magic!!!

Come on MICK.........you got her feet wet, now just pull her in!!!! (ok, I may be only dreaming.........but, I would love for that to happen. Just hoping her performing in front of an audience that truly misses her...will inspire her to reconsider.)

:nod:

So true. I am beyond thrilled she's doing this. I know she won't tour, but it's great to see her on stage. Perhaps, if we're lucky, she'll do an occasional gig/appearance, or record a song or two.

You and ME both!! I'm still slightly in shock but oh it did my heart good to see that pic of her this morning.

ARGHHHHHHHHHH! CHRISTINE BEHIND A KEYBOARD! I just got a happy heart attack.

Jesus Christ!

Someone *must* know what she played!

:blob2:

I saw one tweet saying that they closed with Don't Stop-ST on backing vocals, RV on guitar, MF on drums, CM singing. Not sure if that was all she played or not...hopefully those who attended will start talking!

So beautiful. I never want to see Brett sitting in that position again.

Michele

Oh, no. She sang too? I know they had to do Don't Stop at the very least. She said she could do it with her hands behind her back.

Michele

I assume that she sang, but all I could find is this from twitter user @raatz

@Chris1ll I agree! She closed the show with an amazing version of Don't Stop, w/Mick on drums. Steven Tyler backup vocals, Rick Vito guitar.

Christine McVie looked & sounded so great tonight @MauiArtsCulture. #DontStop

Sqqqqquuuuuuuuueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:]:]:]:]:]:]:]:]:]:]

I really want to know what we can get from the Rumours line up when Christine is in Los Angeles. At the very least, we will probably have a picture of the 5 of them, but I wonder if we could get something, anything else. Some kind of impromptu performance. An interview to add to our video clips perhaps. If they're somewhere together and they invite Entertainment Tonight to witness the historic event maybe we could get a 5 minute spot with the 5 of them.
