New songs?
 

Anybody have a link to snippets of songs from the new album?

i'll embed them in this thread as i publish them, and as i mentioned in the other thread, if you watch Time from Pabst that will take you to my youtube channel where all the snippets of new songs from first 2 shows are.

here is Scream from the 2nd show -

snippets from Pabst (opening night) -

Yes….thanks, these are great. I was hoping to get an early clip of the studio versions from the folks that got the cd prior to the release date.

don't think we want to do that.

of all these so far I really like Swan Song the best live, thanks for posting!!

I want to hear the album tracks fresh so I'm only watching the clips of the singles already released.

Thanks for sharing, Elle.

Who is on bass this tour? The 2018 bassist was a highlight of the show for me.

I like Swan Song, especially the lyrics.

“But is it right to keep me waiting
Is it right to make me hold out so long
It isn’t right to keep me waiting
In the shadow of our Swan song”…..

Enough said, really.

Brett is doubling on the bass too, this tour. frankly i'm not that happy with Lindsey for dropping Federico this time around, with Neale being back. Federico was great last 2 tours, and from his social media posts it was pretty clear he would have loved to do this tour too.

I think Brett had his nose worked on. He looks good.


As far as Fed goes, Lindsey has to work with a budget. I'm surprised Fed isn't on another tour right now.

Brett is doubling on bass? I know he can play any instrument ever invented, but at this stage the guy must look like Dick van Dyke in Mary Poppins.


Fleetnicks Mac pushes Brett out the door in 2019.
Lindsey holds the door open for Neil in 2021.

Talk about a stark contrast.

Not only did she push him out the door in 2018, but she had him fly to Maui to help Mike and Neil learn 10 FM songs, and think his job was safe.

i thought we have album reviews thread somewhere (there were a number of very stellar reviews printed last month) but i cannot find it now so posting her - this is not really a review considering the source / rag that posted it, but sharing nevertheless -

Lindsey Buckingham's new album will appeal to any Fleetwood Mac fan: At 71, he still knows how to introduce a rousing melody to a riveting rhythm

The 1970s are sometimes dismissed as the decade that taste forgot. These days they feel more like the decade that forgot to finish. Every week, without fail, you can find Queen, Abba, David Bowie, Elton John and Bob Marley in the album chart.

Doing best of all, with a studio LP still selling alongside a compilation, are Fleetwood Mac.

The LP in question, Rumours, was made by the classic line-up of Mick Fleetwood, John and Christine McVie, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham – who, in 2018, was stunned to find the others giving him the sack.

Buckingham was ousted after Nicks, the lead singer (and his ex), allegedly said: ‘Either he goes or I go.’ As if the band weren’t enough of a soap opera already, Fleetwood is reportedly keen to reinstate him.

Buckingham’s new solo album shows why someone might want him out – and why they might take him back. He can make himself difficult to like. The opening track, Scream, goes ‘I love it when you scream’, which seems insensitive in the #MeToo era.

The second track, he says, is ‘about the challenges couples face in long-term relationships’. You wouldn’t know this from the title, which is all about him: it’s called I Don’t Mind. Very big of you, Lindsey.

The third track, On The Wrong Side, is about getting the boot. We’ve all been there, but at least we haven’t written self-pitying songs about it.

After that, Buckingham suddenly shapes up and shows his class. At 71, the author of Tusk still knows how to introduce a rousing melody to a riveting rhythm. The elegant pop-rock of Blind Love, Power Down and Blue Light will appeal to any Fleetwood Mac fan.

Meanwhile, in London, thousands of people greeted the reopening of the Roundhouse. And most of them were about 62, because Heaven 17 were playing the first two albums by The Human League, Reproduction and Travelogue, released in 1979-1980.

On keyboards, wearing a fedora, was Martyn Ware, who co-founded both bands; on vocals, the mighty Glenn Gregory (no hat), Hayley Williams and Rachel Meadows; on visuals, the sleeve designer Malcolm Garrett.

With extra synths from Flo Sabeva, these angular old electro-pop songs felt strikingly fresh, even warm. One track goes: ‘Continual pain, continual pain, continual pain.’ At the bar, two 62-year-olds sang it to each other with delight.
