ET riffs with Fleetwood Mac stars Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, who give us the 411 on the Mac's highly anticipated "Unleashed" reunion tour.

One unique aspect about the tour is that the group is not releasing a new album but instead performing songs that they enjoy singing.

"We are not supporting a new album," Lindsey says. "We thought it would be very appropriate to go in and really just look at the body of work that we have and put together something that we would enjoy playing. And not put ourselves in the pressure of trying to redefine ourselves with new material."

It's been five years since the legendary supergroup last rocked out on the road, and their 2009 "Unleashed" tour coincides with the reissue of their signature 1977 album, Rumours -- one of the best-selling albums of all time, featuring hits such as "Don't Stop," "Go Your Own Way" and "You Make Loving Fun."

Stevie tells ET that the theme of the tour is to bring back the songs Fleetwood Mac fans know and love.

"This is our life," she says. "These are our beautiful songs that we worked so hard on, that you love. And for this one time, we're going to play all this for you."

Thanks for posting! They look great!

Ok, is it me... or does Stevie sound like an older woman for the first time here? She seems to have lost that youthful quality in her speech... I don't know how to describe what I'm saying. She almost sounds like someone who has dentures LOL.

She looks as radiant as ever too... but she also looks like a(n extremely well preserved, beautiful woman) in her 60s for the first time too. I'm not saying any of these things in a bad light at all... it just seems Stevie may no longer be the little girl pixie that she always has been :angel: .

she looks great!!!! hope the tour will bring drama and then...they will have inspiration and material for a new album. hihihihihi!:D

It sounds like according to stevie this is not there last time touring and also sounds like they will be recording a new cd again according to stevie and please please we pray to the rock gods that she pulls out Sisters of the moon.
that is the "The Song" for me and pretty much everyone else on this board.:wavey: i am excited:blob1::blob2::nod::laugh::wavey::lol: they both look great too am looking forward to the mohegan sun show and probably will be my only show to go to on this tour enless they come back to connecticut then will go to two shows.

As someone else mentioned in another thread, most of the "hits" Christine's. Do you think they would go back to pre-B/N and do Peter Green's stuff? And on a wish, wouldn't it just freak everyone out if Christine showed up:blob1:....
And the comment of "doing the new songs in shows" in past tours.... HUUUHHHH? Yeah, they did a couple... but the only "new" songs were some that we just never heard live. And since Lindsey doesn't have too many hits with FM, sounds like a Stevie show to me....
I don't know, I just get a weird vibe with this tour.... it's an expensive and stale way to figure out if they can still get along in the same room so that they may want do another album together...
What happened to the premise of going against the "if it's successful, run it into the ground" theory. Lindsey-shame on you.

Yes, Stevie looks great!
Yes, It's WONDERFUL she also seems psyched about doing a new album (wasn't sure if that was just Lindsey's dream)!
Yes, I hope there's plenty of dramz on the road to write new songs about!

I was also struck by the story of them talking on the phone! HOW CUTE!! Stevie all worried that there isn't enough rehearsal time! Lindsey reminding her that they've done these songs a gazillion times (the set list writes itself... indeed). So cute. They are the cutest non-couple ever. They are the we of me. :xoxo:

Tusky 12-11-2008 10:53 AM

Sounds like Christine's playing in the background! LOL :laugh:

I thought the exact same thing. I have never been one of those Stevie-Lindsey romanticists, but there sure as hell did look adorable together. The way they look and smile at each other so candidly after all these years, and banter back and forth with one another is great. And unlike their stage shows, this was real and not rehearsed... it was just them being them.

Ok, they pretty much threatened us pretty badly and basically declared we will be punished for wanting to hear something different. We will be sent to Gitmo, in fact.

What scared me is not only that they won't be playing new songs, but they sounded like they won't even be playing any songs that haven't always been in there setlist. When Stevie was scared about rehearsals, Lindsey said, "Oh, hey don't worry. We've been doing these same songs for 30 years. We know them well enough."

So, it kind of ruined my hope that we would be getting any overlooked gems that they have NOT been doing for 30 years.

The only good thing I heard was that Stevie finally said what Mick and Lindsey said, that they will probably do a new record. She said that when they do, we will have to sit through the new material (that we don't want and don't like). So, it sounds like she is on board for a new record eventually, if all goes well.

Stevie said she hadn't seen Linds in a long time. Well, how'd she think he looked? She had her hair curled. Nice to see them.

Oh, well . . .

I had the same exact feeling Michele. Usually Linds is the one who makes the move on the set list to be daring, but this time even he said hes just gunna run through the hits. I did LOVE seeing them together. Its been almost 5 years and after seeing them solo (more than five times each, for me), its just awesome to see them together!

michelej1 12-11-2008 12:17 PM

Also, she said "45 more shows so far." So, that gives us some indication of their hopes. It's not intended to be a short tour. It depends on how ticket sales go, I guess.

I still think Lindsey was semi-strong armed into doing a hits kinda show rather then an album then tour.... He could be going along with the majority vote on that one. He's always been the one that was more into going out with a purpose rather then just to go out on tour... So he's just going with the flow...
