Christine McVie tribute show

Y'all don't buy any tickets to this, until I hustle my ass over there tomorrow, and get mine.

This is very cool!!

I overheard two musicians talking about it yesterday. I didn't even speak up(I've always been a little embarrassed by my fandom), but made a mental note to look into it when I got home.

These better not be punk rock versions of Christine's songs! :D

Are you attending?

It's Christine, it's $15, it's local, of course!

I just didn't know if you'd be in Indy. Glad you're going!!

With the exception of when a rental property of mine goes empty up there, I'm 100% Nashville now.

Honestly, I was shocked when I heard there was a tribute. I mean, she didn't spin around like an idiot, or blather on like some self absorbed fool. People seem to like that idiotic behavior.
I always kind of liked it, that I got it..... while everyone else was chasing the drunken, spinning sailor.

Wish I could be there

Ooh sh*t, I like that. I'm excited now to go!

I'm shocked that Mick hasn't organized some sort of Christine tribute, similar to what he did for Peter Green.

He probably doesn't think it'll be enough money for him.

Oh, give it time. There will be one.

If there is, there better be more than Sheryl Crow, Nancy Wilson, and Neil Finn.

I'd want to see a broader spectrum of artists...

The tribute to peter was actually arranged and performed before he died, not after.

I kind of think Chris's death is not something he would want to cash in on. i mean, we know how mick is, but still....

I think the impetus for the Peter Green tribute actually started as that reunion Mick wanted of the original lineup that Peter decided against like twelve years prior. I think it gradually evolved from there.

I think a tribute show for Christine would be much more difficult. It’s easy to find white guys to play blues rock. It’s easy to do a Peter Green tribute that focuses on all all but a few Peter Green songs from the early Fleetwood Mac.

It’s more challenging to find enough people who could convincingly sing Christine’s brand of soulful Anglo American pop or to keep it from becoming a tribute to the Rumours band.

I love your optimism Lis

Yep. A Christine tribute would just be a bunch of people singing her material in their own styles. Her style of singing or playing piano almost never gets replicated among professionals. Now, you can do a tribute show without tapping into the person’s style, but the performers had better soar.

So the show was pretty good tonight...I went clubbing afterwards, so... lol... here are the songs I recall now.
YMLF
Honey Hi
Songbird(I was bawling)
Love In Store
Oh Daddy
Do You Remember Me
Only Over Ewe
Think About Me
Over My Head(this singer kinda sucked, so that was my beer/pee break)
Everywhere
Hold Me
Little Lies(this one too, got on my nerves. She was dancing around like an electric chicken- STOP, IDIOT).
SYLM(they let the male keyboard player sing this. Meh).

I'm sure I've forgotten at least one...get offa my ass!

I actually left before the last song, because my friend was picking me up outside, but I can only hope that it was Why. I'm sure it was probably Don't Stop.

But for $15, it was worth it for the Songbird cry, if nothing else. And BTW, my friend pointed out this afternoon, that they were probably doing this today, because it was the old nasty goat's birthday. Au contraire. .. they mentioned more than once, that Christine was the glue that held them all together, but was overshadowed by the stupid drama that was SN/LB.

Indeed, she was.
