Tonight SHOW SPOILER!
 

WEll that was ...ok.

Lindsey looks amazing, amazing!

Stevie was very demure and her hair had TONS of split ends...she didn't look like herself at all. But she is really thin I must say.

Their singing...ok...playing...good.

All in all, out of 5 I give it a 3. What do you all think??

well, i dislike how they changed the lyric to "take no prisoners, break their will" tonight (and on the today show). otherwise, i really enjoyed it!

Well...
 

I'm giving 'em a 3 outta 5 also...The low point was the "Break Their Will" line at the end of the song, Otherwise it was an average performance...Maybe tomorrow nite will be better, Brian J.

Well, looks like Stevie read the Ledge before the show and went out and bought a new top........but she can't fool me! Thats the same black outfit under there!
LOL:laugh:

They really need to stop performing this song. It is soooo boring.

I cant imagine anyone would want to buy the album after watching the performance.

They didn't play badly, but this song lacks energy.


i'd give it a 3 out of 5 as well.


I really hope they dont make SYW the next single.

First off, Peacekeeper sounds awful live. It just sucks, IMO, no matter where or how it's performed. However, Lindsey sounded fantastic after a shaky start. He really did good. Stevie, on the other hand, sounded HORRID. She was just awful; she just stood there and sung without any passion or enthusiasm. Her voice failed her this time around, she was awful. Lindsey looked very youthful and full of energy; he seemed happy. Stevie looked like she'd rather be somewhere else, very bored. She was just...there. Plus, that dress with that hair didn't look too good.

Overall:

FM: 2 1/2 stars
LB: 4 stars
Stevie: a hard earned 1 star (very disappointed)

They are so much better than that.

And did anyone else notice Jay had the CD upside down?
Not that it matters, but it was funny to me.

I can't imagine anyone other than us being excited about that performance.

Where's the fire?

-Sharon

dissention!

Stevie was WAY better than Lindsey if you are going to compare the two!
She was much more on key than he was.

-Sharon

????????
 

It was okay...I would have preferred a Stevie song. But considering tomorrow is that all US soldiers thingy, "Peacekeeper" wouldn't have been a wise choice to play then considering its anti-war base. I think using the "break their will" line is a plus in the song--Lindsey is obviously trying to get something across with that. If you noticed, he held his hand up when he said it at the very end of the song. Very awesome.:)

Both of them are looking better than ever...especially Stevie continuing the dress-shaking thing. I couldn't believe how funny the rest of the show was also..."Cats shouldn't have rights, cause they don't use the toilet.":p I hope they consider starting to perform a new song live. Maybe "Everybody Finds Out.":)

Um, maybe the air con was really, really cold?? :D

I know they'll pull off something great soon, but this is getting to be quite a worry...

I thought it was okay. Again, the song just lacks the ooomph that the band needs to bring to the stage in a two-song outing.

Lindsey - obviously enjoys playing this song, I'm still getting used to the way his voice sounds these days, but he was certainly muh better than last week

Mick - looked very into it, & either didn't make psycho faces or the camera avoided him at those moments

John - I hardly noticed him, just how he'd like it

Stevie - I'll hold back my comments on Newdress for now. She looked beautiful (face looked rounder than usual, maybe due to the hairstyle, but she's still thin despite the presumable lack of exercise on the hip) & sounded fine. I just wish she'd dance, at least during the guitar parts. I'm not asking for a high kick, but boogie a little. She did it on VH1 Storytellers.

- Jake

Oh God, he did have the cd upside down, but does it matter?

Lindsey is HOT, can I say that ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But Stevie, beautiful Stevie, she needs to go out right now, cut 6 inches from her hair and buy a new outfit. Her and Lindsey need to switch outfits. Did he even iron it after wearing it to bed the night before?????

I love them so much that its cool to poke fun. They still rock. JUST not tonight.

Sheesh....I just remembered we gotta sit thru that again tomorrow night.


Stevie looked great....so did Linds. Anyone think she looks like she's lost *more* weight? Really liking her hair, too.


They sounded good, both Stevie and Lindsey. But in my opinion....Peacekeeper is just boring live.


~Angela~

:wavey:

Ohmigod! NyQuil had better watch out, Stevie's going to put them outta business if she keeps it up! What has happened to her lately? She has NO energy, no passion, no enthusiasm, no oomph, no new clothes. What happened, Stevie?!?! After that performance, I wonder if she even knows what a key is. She just stood there and half warbled, half talked in a very low, meek voice. But I'm glad you liked her, Sharon! :) :D

Doesn't matter but did anyone notice her split ends? I just thought she wasn't herself. Maybe she isn't feeling well..thats the impression I got. Maybe they are nervous? I don't understand...but with a song like Peacekeeper...they can't shine anyway.

You know..
 

Maybe Stevie is not loving singing Peacekeeper like we're not loving hearing it.... man, it really is a boring song. Ugh. WHY did they pick that as a single. There were other songs on the album were just as safe but less boring [SYHA, SYW, TD,BTLH] as well as some more interesting and exciting stuff [EFO keeps leaping to mind].. lordy....

Actually, many people who are hearing the album really like Steal Your Heart Away...

Well I thought she SOUNDED good. Her hair looked ok, but her tummy was very poochy.

Can 53 year olds get pregnant?

Janet, you hit it right. They ROCK. They just didn't tonight.

Oh hell. What comments are we to endure from co-workers tomorrow?

-Sharon

LOL at "poochy" --- I've never heard that one before. Does that mean she had her yorkie stuffed in there?

- Jake

The crowd seemed pretty excited when Jay did the "coming up next..." thing.

They really need to start performing another song on television appearances.

this calls for a poll...


...


...


...


...but i'm too lazy to do it:laugh:

"Did you see Stevie Nicks on Leno last night?! That tummy! Is she carrying Sheryl Crow's love child?!"

"Has that chick ever heard of VO5 hot oil treatments?"

"How did she get ahold of my great grannies duster?!?!"

"Why was she grabbing her dress and swinging her arms? Forget the seizure medications?"

"Hot flashes do that to a woman of seniority."

AND THE MOST HORRIFIC...

"I could barely hear her, but when I did...she sounded like a goat!"

"poochy" - you know pooching out. Too Southern for ya? haha!


:: whispers:: you know........ flabby.

There I said it! And I hate myself.

That outfit is so unflattering.


Maybe she is pregnant.......



Lindsey! Get your ass in here!


-Sharon

Oh Stop!

the Horror of those comments!

Nobody understands our Stevie like we do!

Oh no, the humanity!
Soylent Green is PEOPLE, people.........


-Sharon

Stop it!! Stevie having Lindseys baby! The beauty of it!
They could be on the cover of Rolling Stone...stevie wearing a black maternity dress and Lindsey holding a guitar totally disinterested.

Stevie complains, Lindsey rather play guitar then talk to our unborn child!

The beauty of it indeed.

I really thought she looked thin! She just needs a hair cut!

Janet you really thoguht she looked thin?

I thought she looked about 6 months pregnant, but I thought her hair looked fine! LOL!!

Funny how we saw different things!

Lindey looked good, like he just rolled out of bed, but I really am getting tired of his rumply shirts. Fine for the studio, not for PR appearances. He didn't sound real good at first, but I can forgive him for about anything, you know.

He just needs to rev Stevie's motor a bit!
-Sharon

Peacekeeper AGAIN?!?!?!?!?!?

I think this song's alright, and it could be good live if they got it down a bit better, but AGAIN?!?!?!?!? Over the past six years, FM has played a total of five songs on national television, and two of them were THE SAME SONG. WTF????

I thought they sounded a helluva lot better than they did on Today. Not perfect, but better. And I thought Stevie's hair looked just fine. I'm still getting used to the curls, but it looks good.

They'll probably do a song from the new album tomorrow... after all, they're trying to promote the new album, right? I think they should do Smile at You or Everybody Finds Out. But if they do SYW AGAIN...

I thought she looked thin, too. Like she's lost even more weight. Liked the hair, too. :)

Lindsey looked good, too....a lot better than the Today show, IMO.

I'm watching it again now....and I just gotta say...it's not all *that* bad. Peacekeeper IS boring live, and I think that's the problem. They really should've done something else. :)


~Angela~

People, come on!!
 

You KNOW for a FACT they are doing SYW!! It's the next single, right?

I am HIGHLY IRATE right now with my local TV weatherman...he decided to tell us about NOTHING AT ALL CONCERNING ME RIGHT as Leno said "Please, welcome Fleetwood Mac." OMG!!!!! I WAS LIVID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got to see HALF of the performance and OMG, DID LINDSEY LOOK FRICKIN AMAZING OR WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!? Those eyes, that smiles...I was a goner after seeing that smile at the end!!!!!! THANK YOU GOD for making that man so gorgeous!!!!!!!! :D:D:D

Stevie didn't look into it (from what I did get to watch/record), she seemed bored and like "Eh, whatever." Mick was really into it and Lindsey seemed to be too! Stevie's hair...um...no comment. LOL Yikes, is all I'll say.

Actually...
 

I thought Stevie looked like she just woke up IMO...I guess Jay & his guests caused her to fall asleep...Hell, That's what happened with the band, He put 'em all asleep with his BORING monologue & lame-ass guests...LMAO!!! Brian "Chin-chin-chiny-chin Jay" J.

It's peacekeeper...not exactly the most emotional song and dosn't carry as well to a live format.

I thought stevie looked and sounded great. It's a much better performance than the AOL sessions and Today show appearance, i thought!

I liked the boots! and she smiled alot at the end.

Ok I watched it again, and from the side she did have a pooch.

But as a pooch carrier I defend the pooch and its alright. She looked ok but she needs some red bull !:)

I can't wait for tomorrow.

Nighty night

Hey it's bad enough she has a pooch - now you want her to have wings as well? She's gonna look like a petting zoo soon!

they need to do Illume tomarrow night :)

something differant.. even if its not a single.. who cares?.. i remember lindsey doing " bwana " on SNL years ago..... not a radio tune at all.. but he didnt care... the performance rocked... I hope they shake it up a bit..... this playing it safe stuff has to go.. let loose... rock out....

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
 

The whole performance sucked.

Poochwise it is hard to say what's going on under there.
For crying out loud, that get-up has so many layers she could be hiding Osama Bin Laden under it.

Sorry to say it, but that little gig was dull.

What is up with Lindsey ? His singing is flat. On Today, and this show, he hit a lot of sour notes. Maybe he has a cold and can't hear himself.

These recent performances aren't going to sell anyone an album.
Does someone need to drag that velvet bag out from under the soundboard ?
Someone do something, anything, to charge this group up a bit !

Kinda funny that Stevie used to get ridiculed endlessly for being a "rock chick cum fashion maven," and now that she's toned down that part of her stage image, she gets ragged about that.
The poor woman can never win.

Anyway, I thought that band sounded fine... nothing extraordinary, but certainly not awful either.
But yes, "Peacekeeper" seems to be turning into a rather mundane song when performed live. Which is weird for Fleetwood Mac, because their songs usually have more crunch on stage.

I noticed some people are commenting that Stevie hasn't been putting any "passion" into her singing on "Peacekeeper," but keep in mind it's not her song. Lindsey's the lead, and she's just providing harmony vocals for him... which requires a more subdued performance on her end.

If she did "go off," then she's probably get blasted for trying to upstage L.B.... so it's another one of those "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situations.

Hopefully we'll get a more energetic performance from both of them tomorrow night.

As for the more aesthetic aspects... Stevie, to me, looks slimmer than she has in YEARS. Even more so than on 'The Dance.'
But yeah, i'll admit that I'd love to see her mix up her wardrobe a little more. Some reds instead of always wearing black. And something a little different with her hairstyle (she's letting her bangs grow out, but it's not very flattering to her).

And Lindsey? Woof! He is getting hotter and hotter every time I see him (and I used to think his peak "hottie" years were around '73-'78).


Looking forward to tomorrow night! :D

You took the words right out of my mouth - she cannot win for losing in this situation. I think it is way cool and totally respectful of her not to draw attention to herself (which like it or not she clearly could do with one twirl or one banshee wail :laugh: ) from LB during "his" FM song. I see this as similar to the way she sort of backs up and watches LB during his guitar solos like in GYOW. I mean if she danced her ass off during this part of GYOW (oh the days), she would be totally blasted and if I was LB, I would not appreciate it. That is his FM moment.

Also, I did not hear one out of key note from La Nicks, which cannot be said for LB (painfully flat at times to my ears). But, in my opinion LB has never really been about great singing as long as he has that great guitar! :cool:

I am also glad "they" put on key that other male voice that was way off key on the Today show.

All in all, I thought it was a good performance of a lackluster song. Maybe it would not be so lackluster if they quickened the pace of it live. Maybe they also should stand closer than ten feet apart. That might ignite some flames!!!!:laugh:

Maybe I didn't get the full effect because I just watched the video stream, but am I missing something here? I thought they all did great. It didn't seem boring and I thought Stevie looked good. I noticed her hand movements are back (I guess it was too cold on the TS for them) Anyway, I think we could be a little more forgiving towards the band we love. I mean,come on, are they really THAT bad?

Nae

No, they are not bad. I just think they could try harder to look exciting, which we all know they clearly can do even at their age (no slam intended). Of course, LB and, more so, La Nicks could read the phone book from the stage and I would experience joy and excitment on some level!!!! :laugh:

LMAO! Btw..they weren't horrible..the song was...hopefully they kick it up tonight...

Fair is fair: Stevie sounded better than Lindsey. But when you have a handful of words to sing as opposed to the whole song, you're dealing with less pressure. It is easier to get in key once someone else has already started singing. Not to mention that Lindsey is also playing guitar.

Why the surprise at Lindsey's live voice? Do you think it really sounds that great on the Dance? His rendition of Tusk particularly leaves something to be desired. In fairness, he does a great job on things like Bleed to Love Her, but overall Lindsey has more of a studio voice. He has to practice and practice to get it right. When he gets in front of an audience with a loud band behind him, he tends to compensate by singing higher than he should and it comes out strained. Notice how much better he sounds when it's just him and his guitar.

Peacekeeper performances have indeed been lackluster. I fear the studio arrangement simply doesn't work live for this song. It's almost as it Lindsey needs to put more beef in his guitar and one of the background guys should play the riff. Speeding it up a few beats wouldn't hurt either.

Hmmm... Could it be that we're reacting to the absence of Christine subconsciously?

They should have brought Sheryl along.
