FM will be caught right in the middle of the blizzard!
 
Wednesday's show will probably be cancelled. Better cozy up those hotel rooms guys, you are going to be there a while.

nicepace 01-25-2015 08:36 PM

Maybe not. The worst of the snow is supposed to be over Wednesday morning, so it depends on how quickly they can clear the roads, etc. I have a ticket for Wednesday!

BlueDenimLamp 01-25-2015 08:52 PM

Providence is predicted to only get 6-12" of snow and that will be earlier in the in the storm so by Wed things there shouldn't be to bad.

Also maybe you could be a little more considerate to people who have tickets to this show?

secondhandchain 01-25-2015 09:49 PM

Really? How is my post inconsiderate? It's going to be a huge blizzard. I don't affect the weather. Holy crap. I'm saying the FM should stay cozy in their rooms because they won't be out and about. Said the show would probably be canceled. What's the big freaking deal?

It's sarcastic and rude, the way you phrased it. Anyone who lives in the northeast knows there's a huge blizzard coming. We're also trying to ignore the fact that its happening considering some people have spent close to A THOUSAND dollars on tickets just to spend a measly two hours with their favorite band. Sorry dude, you're sort of rubbing the dirt into the wound.

WelshWitchPMD 01-25-2015 10:11 PM

Of course only my hometown show would be in jeopardy. Only mine. Not happy right now. The show might go on and I might be stuck in my house.

Oh I could only wish that's all we'll get.

No I wasn't so calm down. Jesus. You couldn't be more wrong. Sorry you are spending thousands of dollars. That's just something I would never do on a band. So that didn't even occur to me.

WelshWitchPMD 01-25-2015 10:21 PM

Not to mention that a special friend was coming from out of town. Guess that's not happening now either. Can I please strangle the person responsible for booking a tour in the northeast during the winter?

AliceLover 01-25-2015 10:22 PM

Sorry, could have been overreacting a little bit. Needless to say, this is a TOUCHY subject...

WelshWitchPMD 01-25-2015 10:28 PM

They might have to change the name of the tour to On With The Snow for this week only. :mad:

I'm from the Northeast and now live in LA. I miss blizzards terribly. I love a good snowfall, so that's where I was coming from. I'm sure the show will go on Wed. I only wish I was in the Northeast for this!

Macfanforever 01-25-2015 11:03 PM

This is the one of the main reasons I hate winter tours.

I hope the venue will give much lead if the show is canceled for the travelers wont have to make the trek to the show in these dangerous conditions.

Also they should give refunds to fans that cant make it there.

Yea forget that last sentence.

Speaking of bad weather.a few years ago "2011" I remember the Stevie concert at Bethelwoods in NY was threatened by hurricane Irene .they actually started the show an hour earlier for the fans could get a head start to get home safely.The winds started to pick up by the end of her set.

In the middle of my travels coming home .The hurricane was starting to brew and get bad. I should of find a hotel that night.

Hahahaha.That was funny.Stevie is getting her "Snow covered hills" but not in Aspen CO.

I cant complain.We are lucky so far without any snow the last few months.

Ha ha ha good one. I've got my fingers crossed. I haven't seen them since The Dance tour and I really don't want to miss them this time, now the the beautiful Christine is back in the band.

Just drive slow.The show probably go on as long the storm pattern dont get worse .

BlueDenimLamp 01-26-2015 12:51 PM

NY and NJ have both declared "State of emergencies" due to the storm. Is FM hiding in a hotel somewhere or did they possibly head west for services for Mick's mom?

Amen to that. I talked myself out of going to see them Saturday in Atlantic City becuase I didn't want to deal with the weather.

dontlookdown 01-26-2015 03:29 PM

Looks like a huge storm. The airports are already slowly shutting down and canceling thousands of flights.

This is when I miss living on the east coast -- although it would suck to have tickets for Wednesday on not know what's going on.

If I were in Fleetwood Mac, I would make sure my winter tour dates were mostly in warm areas. But maybe they're up for cold and snow, coming from LA and Maui.

Mr too. I was thinking of going to Atlantic City myself when the tix went on sale but put it on hold and end up taking a raincheck this time of going there.

We were at the Nassau Coliseum show sunday for meet & greet, I asked the host, Justin if weather was going to affect the next stop, he told us that the entire show, aside from the band themselves planned to head direct to Providence on Sunday night, right after the show, and that the band would fly up as weather permitted. After Songbird, Stevie did not even bother with her usual closing remarks and Mick closed things and said good night real quick, so maybe they decided to even fly out last night as well ??

So they played on Long Island last night, and their next show is in Rhode Island Wednesday then DC on Friday and Buffalo on Saturday. FM is not subject to commercial airline cancellations since they charter their own private jet for their tours. So in theory they could have high tailed it out of the North East. Given how many North Eastern dates they have on their immediate schedule, I have a feeling they're riding out the storm, though. Forecasts can be wrong, and there are too many shows and too much money on the line for them to abandon their booked plans, IMO. If I were to guess, the band is holing themselves up in a few high end Manhattan hotels, waiting to see what the weather does.

Yes I was looking at the small gap between the show on the 25th and the show on the 28th and thinking that perhaps Mick used that time to fly out and have services for his mother.

Thanks. Appreciate that. :-)

Macfanforever 01-26-2015 08:15 PM

As I was driving home on the night of hurricane Irene from Bethel NY.

NY, and Connecticut roads were shutdown at 12 midnight .Right in the middle of my travels .

I had no issues with the police pulling me over.

I felt like a ship Captain as the rain and the high winds were like waves spraying over the car.

This is way more dangerous and different then Irene.

Just be careful guys in your travels to these shows.

I think by the time this blizzard is over with I will be in the hospital with a broken back or a heart attach after the snow shoveling .




Boy look at those snow covered hills.LOL............................................................

Does the show get refunded for a snowstorm no show?

You get a refund if the show is canceled altogether.

I'm nervous because of the band got to travel in this mess.
