Will the tour be filmed?
 

What do you guys think? Here's to hoping the 3 dates in London is a sign of a filming! :) This tour kicks SYW's butt in my opinion!

More likely that if a show were going to be filmed, it would have been a show stateside.

What's even odder is that the radio didn't simulcast or delay-broadcast any of the shows, making this the first Fleetwood Mac tour in -- what? -- forty years that wasn't put on radio.

They had SYW tour on the radio? How cool!!!

Yes, indeedy, Ethan. It was the first night at the Arrowhead Pond in California that was broadcast on radio. Almost in its entirety, too.

Really? I'm just curious as to why you feel that way. I personally miss the new material the SYW tour presented, and the passion Stevie exhibited. Granted, the inclusion of Storms was something I'm thrilled with and thought we'd NEVER see, but I could have said the same thing about Beautiful Child for the Say You Will tour. :shrug: Before I have people jump on me, I'm not trying to be negative at all, I'm just curious as to why Gavin feels this tour is superior :thumbsup:.

I feel the band sounds better this tour...listening to stevie's vocals and watching her on the SYW tour dvd get a little painful for me at times! I liked the new stuff that was on the SYW tour, but performance wise i think they are better on this tour, not to mention in a better place. I also enjoy the SYLM cover, Monday Morning, and the arrangement of Go Insane on this tour...

If they were going to film this tour i think it would be in the studio at pbs for another soundstage performance maybe at the same stage where stevie did hers in 2007.that would be a cool idea or they may film the show over seas.

i love the say you will tour i saw 4 shows on that tour it was awesome new cd and wish she played a few more new songs but it was an excellent show and they are playing the same way they did on the say you will tour although i do like the unleashed tour but feel the unleashed tour is more staged performance and almost going thru the motions were if they had a new cd to promote with new music i think it would have been more into this tour.

As per Mick, no they are not filming for the general public. However, they do film every performance for themselves, & he said that they hadn't done that in awhile, since I brought it up. He said that gave him pause to remember to record the Europe shows for the band. bummer!:sorry:

What do you mean that 3 days in London is a sign of a filming?

Probably so that they would be able to edit it and stuff with a selection of three shows in the same city.

They did 3 dates in London last time and we didn't get a London DVD

:shrug: Just a guess.

You don't necessarily need three nights to record or anything (obviously).
They better record sometime on their European leg though - we've got to have "Storms" on a good quality DVD with Dolby Digital (preferably Blu ray), ya know?

You could just do one night and film each song multiple times, for a dvd. Like LIB.

But I like the rumor anyway. There is no other place I'd rather have them film than London, because then, just maybe . . . I'm beginning to get vapors just thinking about it. I could daydream about that all summer.

i just figured theyd like to have a selection of shows to pick from...rather than just one night...i could be wrong! we shall see soon enough!

Is there a rumour this will happen then? Or just wishful thinking on here?

Oh, yeah. It's not a real rumor, I guess. Just the speculation posted here.

I think that it would be easier to have taped something at the end of this tour, when they'd gotten all the performances pretty much down to a science, than to come back in a few months. Although, from a marketing perspective, maybe it might sound grander to say "Live in London" for this DVD, since they just released another live one a few years ago. Maybe it would sound like this tour was on a bigger scale or something. It seems very unlikely though.

I sure hope that they would tape the London shows.. that would be awesome! If they aren't going to promote any new albums now, then the very least they could do, IMO, is do something like make a dvd of the London shows. But who knows if that will happen... Just wishful thinking on our part.. Here's to hoping tho! :thumbsup:

How about another live album? Or not.

I'm thinking of an entirely different product line ... say, clothes. Buckingham & Nicks wardrobe, available in Small, Medium, Large, X-tra Large at JC Penney. Maybe the Mick Fleetwood vest, too, & John McVie baseball caps & sprinters.

Hahaha funny. And when the SYW tour was happening everyone was like, omg Stevie's sleepwalking! I mean, imo she's always kicked ass, but she seems ON FIRE this tour. Maybe she's not bringing back 10 retired songs, but her performances of each song of hers on this tour is incredible. Maybe her vocals aren't quite how they were on the dance tour, but t hey are damn good still, and she's showing energy that I haven't seen since maybe Enchanted tour!

Um, hello! No DVD, filming for us, nada!

Things can change.... You never know.

They filmed either all or a bunch of the SYW tour - cause Cory in her tour diaries said the road crew would watch the show just performed in the bus on the way to the next venue....

This must have gotten really boring. :shrug: I wonder what they do with all the shows. They just must be sitting around somewhere. That's too bad.

LOL!! Yeah I don't think I could watch every show :sorry: I get bored listening to the same show over and over let alone watching it...... I don't download every show like some do--but that is more than cool if you do!! I'm a picture person--I could look at a thousand pics and never get tired of those :angel:

Cory's tour diaries?

I absolutely love her and wanna see this/get more information on her if possible. :)

I'm not sure if there is a site where you can read them all anymore. I wasn't around here for that - but I know they were posted on the ledge. Just do a search for tour diaries and you should start to stumble upon the old threads.

I honestly feel like the band is using all of this extraneous crap (the Unleashed tour, any new DVDs, etc.) as an excuse to not put out any new material yet. I sure love having them continue to put SOMETHING out there for us, but its gotten to the point where I feel like they're comfortable with all of the old and just not ready to put their foot forward into the "new." It may be a lack of material (I doubt it), band conflicts, the overwhelming thought of promoting an entirely new album and all the work/insanity that coincides with that.... but honestly, all this greatest hits stuff has really been pouring out since The Dance and its overwhelming success. Its just time to move on.

You made a lot of very good points here. Honestly these are several of the reasons why FM have lost many longtime fans.(Stevie once asked an interviewer,"what happened to all our fans we had in 1980?") They get so tired of waiting for something new or some type of setlist change that they simply give up and move on. I for one am in it for the long haul but have many, many times been completely frustrated with all of these issues throughout the years, starting in 1983.

I'm in it for life, too. I will support the band 200% until the day they all die... just because they're wasting everyone's time right now doesn't mean they aren't absolutely incredible in my eyes, even if our only current reminder of that is all the old material and demos. Keep the faith!
