Yes.Moldy oldies the key thing.Atlease the Monkees are moving ahead with new music.

I love the Dodgers, Vin Scully and of course FM, but I can't justify the $$. I'm out for this one.

Well, it IS a benefit concert, so I would like to believe that most of the money is, in fact, going to the intended purpose of expanding the building and programming, and that the Mac is getting a reasonable fee for their participation.

As for all of them being local to LA, I thought Christine lived in England.

yeah same. i think stated purpose was well beyond the Dodgers so if bulk of the money does go to it, that would be great. i would hope FM is not charging for m&g parts, just for having to do the setup, equipment, crew, etc.

while only Lindsey and Stevie are LA based and the other 3 come and go, i have to assume that LA is a home base for FM and that bulk of their equipment / gear is there and they don't have to ship it in.

They all lived in Los Angeles in the 70s and 80s. LA was their home base during their hey day.

Sounds like the cost of my floor ticket for the last tour.

You guys should just crash it.

sywlindseyfan 06-25-2016 08:48 PM

There is a hill overlooking the stadium that people go to sometimes and listen/Watch the game. Would anybody be interested in doing that little adventure?

Fleetwood Mac has announced its first concert following the Nov. 2015 wrap of its lengthy On With the Show tour. It’ll come in a familiar city, but it’s not the most familiar type of gig for the legendary band.

Major League Baseball’s Los Angeles Dodgers have tapped Fleetwood Mac to perform at their second annual Blue Diamond Gala on July 28. They’ll close out the night with a set from centerfield, following a blue carpet entrance (in honor of the Dodger colors) and a ceremony honoring Vin Scully, the iconic Dodgers announcer who plans to retire at season’s end.


The performance will be Fleetwood Mac’s only in 2016, according to the Dodgers’ official web site.

The event will also include Dodgers players and coaches, as well as event chairs Shelli and Irving Azoff. The band is currently managed by Azoff MSG Entertainment.

Rewinding the Charts: In 1977, Fleetwood Mac Hit No. 1 With 'Dreams'

All proceeds from the evening will go towards the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation, which benefits underprivileged local communities.

Admission to the event -- based on sponsorship packages -- is also detailed on the Dodgers’ site.

The On With the Show tour saw the return of Christine McVie (who quit the band in 1998) thus reassembling its “classic” lineup alongside Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. All five will perform at the Dodger gala.

So are they doing just a couple songs or kind of a lot? Or does nobody know ?

I am interested in doing that little adventure. Before I saw this post, I wondered where exactly one could go in that Chavez Ravine/Police Academy area to do that...

Count me in sywlindseyfan, if you're thinking about it!:woohoo:
