Stevie Nicks: Fleetwood Mac will tour in 2013. Rehearsals start in January".
 

Check out this piece of VERY exciting news from Nickslive!

I would take this with the proverbial bucket of salt if she hadn't said the part about rehearsals starting in January. Now I am only taking it with a pinch. Yes!!

new 2013 tour
 

Honestly, Im a little disapointed in a 2013 tour, I mean, at this point, what exactly are FM going to offer?

I mean, I love the band, but what? Ill pay $150 for one ticket to see the same set list from 10 years ago, and maybe they throw in 1 classic song

I mean, there are so many more possibilities, studio album, BN, SOLO, FM tour, what exactly is the marketing approach going to be?

just doesnt sound that appealing at this point

We'll read all the fans say it was worth the price of admission just to hear Sister's of the Moon or That's Alright.:laugh:

Speaking as someone who has only seen them live once, I'll gladly go and see them again. I do understand why people may be disappointed but come on, we'll all end up loving it!

Ideally this will be to support a new album but that's highly unlikely. Oh well, I'll still be going!

Just as I did with the "unleashed " tour I will sit this one out.Tours that are done for no purpose whatsoever than to fleece fans out of $ hold no appeal to me.

Oh, I knew Mick's little Playboy move would pin her down. If those boys press her hard enough, there's little she won't do.

If rehearsals are really in January, we won't be getting any new music, which is a bummer. But this might be the last time to see these old fogies.

Depending on where they play, the cost and what else I've got going on at the time I'll probably go. I'd like to see them again. It's a pain if there's no new music and I'd much rather have 40-60minutes of new music to last a lifetime instead of 120-150minutes of old songs that lasts an evening.

I'm not really sure what the point in touring again is. Maybe they'll release BN with a lot of bonus tracks just before the tour (yeah, right...)

If they are not touring behind an album it is purely mercenary.Remember Mick's playboy interview? He needs $$$$$.

I didn't read it. :o I just got the highlights that he was taking a dig at Stevie for holding them up or something along those lines.

what about for those who never been, how will it be???? will i be dissapointed ????

Guess we got threads that need merging...
 

I'm glad they are at least planning on touring - sure better that FM doing nothing! :nod:

Hopefully we get something a tad different from the 2009 tour.

I'm glad I have a very vivid memory for things that happened in my childhood/youth.I can see and hear in my minds eye the Tusk tour show that I attended in December 1979 like it was last night.That really helps me resist the temptation to cross Mick's and the others palms for their second in a row cash grab tour.

I think the Buckingham Nicks CD will be released next year for its 40th. It will have a second disc with some new recorded stuff and unreleased tracks. The Mac will add 4 to 5 BN tracks to the live set (including Stephanie)This will be their swan song. This makes the most sense a Buckingham Nicks reunion with the audience and the marketing to sell the Buckingham Nicks cd 40 years later to The Fleetwood Mac fan base.

I'll go if there are:

1. A few Buckingham Nicks songs.

2. At least one (preferably two or more) songs from Mystery To Me

At least tour behind the 40th anniversary of SOMETHING worth celebrating...
(Plus, Stevie singing "Hypnotized" could be amazing.)

Not very if you buy Fleetwood Mac Live, The Dance, or Live In Boston, or a slew of 1982 onward bootlegs, regardless of who's actually in the band.

Count me in! That does make sense, especially with Mick saying that FM could do an EP next...

That might be enough for me .I can't see it all that happening though.They are more interested in catering to the casual boomer fan as Fleetwood Mac.

We'll read all the fans say it was worth the price of admission just to hear Sister's of the Moon or That's Alright.:laugh

That's funny that you would say that because I just posted on a Stevie thread about why she will never do SOTM again. I mean really she doesn't have the voice for it anymore. But I did suggest that she could do a piano version of it like she did with Rhiannon for the Enchanted box. I mean for a future record not for a tour with FM. Your idea about That's Alright is interesting. I wonder why they never did that song in concert.

I first saw them when I was 14. I think I prefer to remember them like that, now...

Christine...

No orchestra....

Just Ray adding some acoustic.

The way music was MEANT to be.

REAL.



The music business blows goats now.:wavey:

Much like the Lindsey Buckingham show I saw this week, it all depends on the set list. I could see myself paying top dollar to see them again if they sprinkle enough of my favorites in there.

You must be a pretty big fan to have joined a forum about them, so just go and see them, you owe it to yourself. Even if you are apprehensive at first about your decision, you really won't care once they come out on stage.
I went to see them on the Unleashed tour and it was my 1st time seeing them, turned out to be one of the most electric nights of my life. (I suppose front row does help though :laugh: ) Also perhaps alot of it could depend on who your favourite member is too, if you're a Lindsey fan you won't be disappointed anyway, I don't follow Stevie closely enough to tell you what she'd be like live in 2013. Lindsey will still be kicking ass though. Well, not literally (anymore :laugh: )

Just do it :blob2:

I agree a new album would be great, or at least better than only a tour. But I also think the days where a tour supported an album are over (specially for old bands). Nowadays it's viceverse, or albums are even not needed. Tours are more profitable than CDs, iTunes, or any kind of media. With all the piracy and ways to copy music, albums are not a good business, and let's face it, this is a matter of business, specially nowadays.

I never understood why Mick is so hated in this website. I'm not concluding this from the previous quote but from the sum of a lot of threads, cause I always read about blaming on him about his exceeded love for money. I'm not sure about that, but if it is true... so what? If that were a crime I'm sure half of the world would be in jail, and even more. Specially in these days, where all media transmit us messages about loving money, business first, etc.. I'm not surprised.

See the sports, the wealthy sportmen who earn millions for be in a soccer club, not mentioning the tv spots (Gillette, Nike). Same as movies, the movie stars earn millions for playing the Joker or appear in underpants in a giant ad in Times Square. Should we hate Jack Nicholson, Mark Whalberg, Cristiano Ronaldo, Tiger Woods, Diego Maradona, Jaclyn Smith, etc... etc...?

And I'm not sure Mick is the only one who do this for money. Do the others tour just for fun or art's sake? I don't think so.

the GF said she may join me :) and yea, might just do so now, its just the price i can imagine it is, never payed much personally. I love both Lindsey and Stevie and to see Stevie live would be like..amazing.....Lindsey's guitaring would be worth seeing....so yea.... might just do it for the hell of it!!!!

I'll be there .Who cares about the setlist.But I would love to see some old tunes added to the setlist.I want to see the group play together.I enjoy the 2009 shows.

You're an easy man to please.

Yes I am.We are getting older.Yes I do understand.Us fans are sick with the stale setlist.I'll will just deal with it.They are getting older.We don't know when they throw the towel in as a band.

I don't know if I can handle hearing/seeing another performance of Landslide, Rhiannon, Silver Springs, I'm So Afraid, Monday Morning, Go Your Own Way, Dreams, Don't Stop, or the "new" (15-year-old) version of Big Love. With the exception of Big Love and Silver Springs, these songs were pure nostalgia by 1998 anyway.

I would on the other hand, love to hear Storms again, or any of Stevie's Tusk songs, as well as other under-performed tracks from any of their albums, maybe even revisit some of the SYW stuff.

I have no doubt that's exactly what we will get; something a tad different from the 2009 tour. ;)

Either way I'll be there for at least one show.

Shouldn't this be in the Rumours section? Maybe it is... anwyay, I will go. I am not happy, though. Stephanie lied to us. I want new music.

Ummm... this IS the Rumours section. :confused: I deliberately posted it here and not the Stevie forum because, although it's a Stevie quote, it concerns a tour for the band.

I agree...the thing is, their catalog has a lot of untapped potential. They could mix up their set a LOT and STILL keep warhorses around like The Chain, Dreams, Gold Dust Woman, Rhiannon, Tusk, Go Your Own Way, Don't Stop.

There should be a set of Buckingham Nicks songs...Crying in the Night, Don't Let Me Down Again, and Frozen Love would be my choices. And if they keep doing a solo song, then I would change that up and have Lindsey do Countdown and Stevie do something else other than Stand Back.

Never understood this either. As if John, Chris, Lindsey, and Stevie tour for some greater artistic meaning. Please, this is their job...they do this because they make money doing it (same reason I work). They may love their job (making music), and be very good at it, but they do it to make money. Crapping on Mick for looking to make a buck is juvenile when it gets brought up. Who cares? If I was Mick Fleetwood I would be milking the Fleetwood Mac brand as much as I could to generate as much out of it while I still can enjoy it.

I think what annyos people is that Mick is so bad with money management. His bandmates have made him quite a lot over the years, and yet he is often in financial straits. There's no doubt they all WANT to make a lot of money, but after Rumours, it's a bit absurd that any band member would ever NEED money.

Now we have 6 months to guess the name of the tour. Unleashed was so stupid and antithetical to what and who they are. They should call this one Bound.

There's more discussion about the Fleetwood Mac tour on the "Stevie" forum that on the "Fleetwood Mac" forum. I suppose an argument can be made that the thread on Stevie's forum is more about Stevie's involvement and her fan's wishes for her to continue on solo - tour/album. :shrug:

I agree with others as I too don't understand all this Mick Fleetwood hate. His contributions seem to always be dismissed since he isn't a singer/songwriter.

Mick just plays drums...;)

More like 20 year old. Lindsey's been playing THAT version since 1993.

Ha. I was thinking something along the lines of "Alimony." :sorry:

Susan

I don't hate him, but I do think he's pretty dumb.

I love Mick and I think he's the glue that's held everything together all of this time. You know, they love him and that's why he can persuade them to do things to which they are opposed.

But he's kind of duplicitous and not above light stabs in the back.
