Fleetwood Mac success in Norway prior to their visit to Sweden

Legendary british-American rock band Fleetwood Mac is warming up prior to their Sweden visit by making success in Norway. According to Norweigan vg.no the concert was a mix between "the worlds most bizarre drum solo" signed Mick Fleetwood, Stevie Nicks warm vocals and rap(!) combined with Lindsey Buckingham's guitarr playing kept the show going.

Now follows a couple of days of rest for the band before the journey continues towards Stockholm, where the group will play Ericsson Globe Arena on wednesday.

^Oh, that's cute to think of her intro as rap. It's certainly a rapport. Thanks for the translation.

Second to last on the european leg: have fun and enjoy every minute! :thumbsup:

The exact same goes for me, although my seats are 6th row and not 5th. I've been excited since I got my tickets in June, this last week I've been completely ecstatic and who knows what will happen tomorrow...

I sure will enjoy every minute! Stevie rapping or not!

My husband suggested that we leave before encores so that we will be able to get a taxi. We just got married a couple of weeks ago so I said to him that if he plans to stay married he better not leave before it is all over :)

That's starting things off on the right foot. LOL Michele

Left early this AM to catch a flight to Stockholm, the last thing my sixyear old said was; "Mom don't forget to film the concert so I can watch when you get back!"
He has good taste in music :)

Half an hour til my very first FM concert starts, am sooooooo excited!!!!

Requests to film: The entire Landslide speech, the Entire Without You speech, Sister's of the Moon and Gold Dust Woman.

Have fun at the show!

Yes I agree .Have fun at the show.

Boy I'm so behind on watching these vids from across the big pond.

Thanks again Viv for your work on snatching them and posting them here.

I wouldn't miss filming the entire without you speach for anything... Got it Viv and I think we might have a winner lenght wise. Got landslide intro, will upload tomorrow.

Awesome moves. Plus I can't wait to hear about your experiences.

Ooh, a long WY intro. Sounds juicy. And your six year old is really on the ball!

Photo Extra: Fleetwood Mac on stage at the Globe

One of the most successful bands play at the Globe.
Fleetwood Mac is especially on tour to once again celebrate their biggest seller "Rumors".
- Now we are looking to get in once the party, says Stevie Nicks from the scene.

A more or less crowded globe is the place to enjoy hits from the band's most commercially successful period in the 1970s - and '80s. But the occasional new song teaches sneak into the song, if you're going to go to the concerts the quartet already harvested over Europe Svängen.

The clock had struck a few minutes past 19:30 when Fleetwood Mac stood on stage and opened with "Second Hand News," "The Chain" and the classic "Dreams".

- Now we are looking to get in once the party, says Stevie Nicks.
On stage - bathed in blue and green lights - are also three musicians and two choirs shoes.

"As we like to share with you"

Lindsey Buckingham faced "Sad angel":

- We are very happy to come back here. This time we bring something new, new songs that we like to share our experience of.

John McVie (bass) and Mick Fleetwood (drums) have been with the band since its inception in 1967. It was when the then husband and wife Stevie Nicks (vocals) and Lindsey Buckingham (guitar, vocals) joined the band in 1974 as John's wife Christine McVie (keyboards and vocals) was further sparring help on låtskrivarfronten.

Tonight she will not be on stage. McVie defected in 1998, but actually made a comeback last month in London for two shows.

So maybe, with a little (or very) lucky she shows up and makes the 70s Fleetwood Mac complete ...

Dahlbom: There is a spark that lives on

An evening with Fleetwood Mac involves two men in hats and the story of Stevie and Lindsey. There is no doubt about who is playing the lead roles.

Running on what works about again and again until there is nothing left to squeeze.
It's Lindsey Buckingham who takes up the formula for a batch of songs from Fleetwood Mac's experimental "Tusk." The guitarist talks about nasty record label, a cynic would apply the formula to great rock bands of yesteryear that for every world tour fading more and more.
Buckingham'll talk later about the importance of change, it is also he who conjured up new songs from the band that has not released an album in over ten years.
Change in all its glory. The only group really needs is a woman who stands by his side on stage, she was once his. A long concert evening with Fleetwood Mac in the Globe often turned to Stevie Nicks show.

In "Rhiannon" heard the sixty-year-old has not left voting record, but she still has a long way. If Buckingham alerts and make it to, to get the Fleetwood Mac a completely different emotional depth when Nicks songs focus. As she slowly turns around with her ​​hair in front of her face in a protracted "Gold dust woman" and chanting "you can not fix me now" is the big rock theater.
The rhythm section has many years turned into a subordinate clause, the entire Fleetwood Mac's existence is based on the dualism of the old ex-couple Buckingham / Nicks. The feelings they once had, the aftermath still living.

Best for the evening is "Landslide" and "Never going back again" with just the two on stage. Although they raised the old love songs written for each other a thousand times before, there is a spark that lives. In closing "Say goodbye" they look at each other while they say goodbye.

Buckingham may well live for change.

But the main thing for Fleetwood Mac is that he and Nicks never break up musically.

"Silver springs" is hard to beat beautiful. So good was Fleetwood Mac in Glogen

Nöjesbladet reviewer Joacim Persson Fleetwood Mac in the Globe.
So good was the concert.

What was the best?

- Extra number "silver springs" is hard to beat beautiful. But both "Landslide" and the equally sedate version of "Never going back again" as Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks doing alone on stage is brilliant. And Lindsey's guitar playing in general. What was the worst? - Looking at how good the song should be so is "Rhiannon" a decrepit disappointment. What surprised you? - The vansinnesstompiga "Not that funny" from "Tusk". Far from the best, but funny. On the whole, it is fun to see the band lit into the material from the little unruly album. How was the crowd? - mature and restrained. Lyrical with his hand in his pocket. Except for the more sweeping enthusiasm last half hour. How many plus get Fleetwood Mac tonight? - Three plus. A little unevenly along this two hours and 40 minutes long hours but still much better than last visit to Sweden.

Landslide
 

So...I am starting to get my videos up here. Starting with Landslide. I started filming exactly the same second she started her dedication so everything is in there :) I do not know how to embed the link :(

Powerless but warm dignified. So good was Fleetwood Mac at the Globe in Stockholm

Once he was the newcomer who brought his girlfriend and turned the band's entire career.

Now he stage motor that drives every second.

Fleetwood Mac stands and falls with Lindsey Buckingham's heat and guitar playing.

The hardest thing to see aging rock band live is to turn off the image etched in my head.

It is no longer true. It sounds very seldom so either. Especially not with artists who had their absolute peak form at the bushy '70s.
Fleetwood Mac 2013 is of course a completely different band than the wrenching chaos that made ​​"Rumours" to one of the world's most successful albums. When was the band five explosive egos, each with unique stage charisma. Now it features slowing.

But even if the Globe gig will be powerless, lengthy and inflexible sometimes makes Fleetwood Mac a warm worthy cavalcade primarily through the classical second half of the 70s. Often with an authentic and beautifully forgiving mood on stage.

Bright attack

Today, Lindsey Buckingham band's natural center.
The voice never wavering, his nylon acoustic attack on "Big Love" is still shining and the guitarist really shines in its discharge in the "I'm so afraid."

Sitting on the floor

Humbly, he controls the entire evening.

Finest is to see how Lindsey after just over two hours constant on stage still lingers when "World turning" turns into Mick's insanity gambit to drum solo.
In a corner with his legs stretched out across the floor, he sits through the flapping stroke and Micks almost inaudible galenmumlande the mic.

I imagine that he enjoys. To Lindsey knows that Mick drumming will not be there forever.

The entire globe is holding its breath

As he faces the very last encore baring similar thoughts about Stevie Nicks , after their nearly lifelong relationship with each other.

Then do the former lovers a huge beautiful "Say Goodbye" together.
It is eerily quiet in the Globe.

There are new pictures to remember Fleetwood Mac.

Fleetwood Mac - a bunch of survivors

Fleetwood Mac, the well-playing soft rockers from the 1970s, has gone from being a band that Stevie Nicks was one of the members to be the veritable, mardi gras-style parade vehicle for Nick to come. Her iconic status in contemporary music has grown in a way that the last few years, if not come to overshadow the band's influence, at least match it.

When Fleetwood Mac are now returning to Stockholm Globe Arena is exactly 35 years since they released "Rumours," one of the best selling popskivorna ever, with Nicks at the height of his älvlika, patschulidoftande, poetically responsive capability.

The concert begins also with "Second Hand News," the first song from the album, and the crowd cheers when Nicks voice enters the song's third line and a spotlight reveals her already on the stage, dressed in black chunks and a microphone and tambourine covered with lace and beads. The selection seems to be done with Nick in mind - "Dreams," "Rhiannon," "Landslide". The load noticeable though. Nicks struggling on high heels and after a while it feels like a bar stool and a glass of water would have been better accessories.

The band has at times been a record company's wet dream (extremely easy to listen to, well played music) and worst nightmare (lovebirds with addictive personalities) and Lindsey Buckingham reveals that emotions are answered. He explains how the record companies' working method is to "Find something that works, and then suck the life out of it." During his time as a band Fleetwood Mac has seen itself forced to undermine the method, and the album "Tusk" was one such attempt. Buckingham sings "Not that funny" from that particular disc, and Nick gets a much-needed breaks.

The sound is loud and big, and even though the band actually has aged, it sounds good - it's like the whole point of Fleetwood Mac. Mick Fleetwood drum kit looks like a moving van on the way from a drummer collective, which include a huge gong, and even the cheesy screensaver projected in the fund behind the band feels okay. The nostalgic "Landslide" also becomes years and the experiences that have changed and deepened Nick's voice into a strength.

So so what if they play for over two and a half hours, and it feels like 30 minutes of that time is of the Stevie Nicks tells a long and confused story that I think maybe about vacuuming, outdated music formats, and possibly even a little of copyright infringement. They're both great musicians and a bunch of survivors. Nicks is a true hippie, with all the lifestyle entails, transported to our present day. It's almost as if Charlie Chaplin would step out of the screen in all its black and white glory. It plays like no matter what she says, just that she is here, and she can actually talk, goes a long way.

[I like this photo. I think it captures their dual personalities]

Yes. Thank you Deeshere for the embedded videos. And Angie, than you especially for the entire Without You intro. That was amazing. It was so awesome it makes me want to eat my cassettes. And thank you for the SOTM video. My life is complete now.

Wow, amazing videos! Huge thanks to Angie for sharing them with us, they bring back so many good memories of the best concert I've ever been to. I did see Mac four years ago in Stockholm as well, but I think this one was much better.

So, I had an amazing evening. Since the Helsinki show was cancelled, I purchased Mick Fleetwood VIP tickets to get good seats on the floor. The VIP meeting was really great, it was nice to get up on the stage and meet Mick. This is the whole bunch listening to Mick.

Mick was really cool and fun to talk to. Anyhow, we was a bit tall for me to stand next to :lol:

http://www.saunalahti.fi/lsandeli/sarppa/fm2.jpg


We could stay inside the arena after the meet&greet and I got really nervous we found our seats: we were sitting in row 2 right in front of Stevie. I do love the Mac, I do, but I've always loved Stevie more than anything. Four years ago I was sitting really far away from the band so it was a real treat to be able to sit so close to the stage now.

http://www.saunalahti.fi/lsandeli/sarppa/fm15.jpg

I don't know how's Stevie & Lindsey been in the other gigs, but they seemed to have some strange vibe going on in Stockholm. It was the way they looked at and touched each other. Lindsey told he had known Stevie since he was sixteen and that he'd written "Say Goodbye" to her ten years ago. He wanted to dedicate that song to Stevie which bought tears into her eyes. She was crying when the song ended and told the audience she would never forget this night in Stockholm. She also told that we were an amazing audience and that the songs they had sung that night were dreams and we were the dreamcatchers. I was really touched when she said that "When you wake up tomorrow morning, remember that I will never forget this night."
I don't know if she does that everytime but it felt damn genuine to me.

Here are some pics for you to see, they turned out pretty well. Wish I could see Mac once again someday...

Aww...Thank You too Viv for uploading lots and lots of pics and videos to this site as well. :angel:

I also tried my camera's video option, but that didn't turn out so well. My hands were shaking so much that it was pretty hard to keep the pic still. The audio is pretty clear though. Never mind the odd close up zooms to Stevie's face :lol: Here's a clip of Say Goodbye.
