Adelaide 10/28th 2015
 

please bear with me i just got home and have a migraine and my ears and still ringing. I will do better later today. but thought i would post some highlights. my vids are $h! T and my pics are $h IT so i prob aint even gonna bother. i was behind 2 speakers and right under the big screen soooooo :distress: i have banned myself from watching/listening to clips so I have only seen a bunch of Nicole's gifs. sorry if i'm repeating stuff you've already all heard.


- Stevie announced the show as their 108th :nod:
she gave a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig speech about how they don't normally play outdoors so this was special and reminded her of when they used to play shows in the 70s ... which most of us prob wouldn't know about coz we weren't born yet :lol: but she said they were good :nod: I think Lindsey came up and told her something here i couldn't see him but she stopped talking lol and then started up on something else :laugh: i think it was here. he got up very very close in her face and that's all i remember lol

- GDW has evolved into the most amazing thing on this planet. holy wow.
- the Gypsy speech is beautiful too *cries a river of tears*
- there was like some partial Sara side hug thing going on i dunno I was filming the screen and missed it. it was a great version though
- don't remember it very well from SYW but BTLH sounds great, might have been my fave song of the night with GDW.
- Chris sounds amazing. Chris looks amazing. I am not even a Chris fan but she seems so happy to be back up there. And Stevie was so happy she was up there and they all seem in a really great place. I dunno. Even SnL lol and that's really all i care about. okay no, all I care about is Stevie. but it was all nice and cohesive and loving.

- ISA/NGBA/Big LOve ... all still AMAZING. Lindsey is INSANE. I love all his songs live. Especially Red Rover *sigh* that needs to come back :lol:

- Tusk ... i could live without that and SYLM. Was not really a fan of TAM but i like it.

- SILVER SPRINGS ... prob where i was positioned but it sounded awfully pitchy and Stevie didn't go highhhhhhhhhh high hiiiiiiiiiiiiigh. i love the changed lyrics though. fabulous.

- oh and Landslide had too much cute overload i don't even remember anything specific. i think she dedicated it to us.

i'm sad there's no SOTM or Seven Wonders though :distress: i could live without Dreams for the reinclusion of one of those :)

that's about all i can think of atm.

Thank you for your review. Glad you had a blast.

Just posted from Chris :)

Glad you had a great time. Thank you for the review. I bet your ears are still ringing. I wonder what Lindsey might have said to Stevie. It's funny that she changed the subject!:laugh:

Michele

Here, Michele, try out your lip-reading skills on footage where you can't make out his lips. :laugh: I'm curious what he said, lol.

“There is something kind of wild and crazy [about doing outdoor shows], and reminds me so much of the seventies, where some of you might have been and many of you weren’t even born. And I’m just here to tell you that we had a really good time.”

omg that vid is so NOT useful for any kind of analysis
i am so embarrassed lol
i was playing with the settings and couldn't change it back to my staple and she had already started talking and im like omg this vid is blurry and qheroiawhsfkhweotp

in the moment i was pretty sure he told her off :laugh:
or stopped her from saying something she shouldn't :laugh:
and sorry but i went in the gutter
bye haha

Ha! I'm just playing. No need to be embarrassed! The sound is great and I'm just grateful to have SOME footage. :)

She seems to laugh after he spoke to her, so it can't have been too bad, lol.

Well, maybe I can read body language better than lips! Oh wow, the middle one looks really sweet. And then in the 3rd panel it looks like she was laughing and ducked her head down. Oh, that's priceless.

Thank you.

Michele

Oh, certainly, if he said something she didn't like, you'd be able to tell by her behavior afterwards. No sound necessary.

Michele

I take video of myself that doesn't look that good and I have better access to myself than I do to Fleetwood Mac.

Fleetwood Mac family finally felt complete

FEW bands have been through as much as Fleetwood Mac and lived to tell the tale.


They took the ’70s ethos of sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll to its limit, with the sex and the drugs threatening to end the rock ’n’ roll on more than one occasion.

Perhaps that’s why Wednesday night’s show at Coopers Stadium had such a feel-good vibe – the Mac are like a dysfunctional family who’ve had some therapy, buried the hatchet and turned up for Christmas lunch with smiles on their faces. And the family finally felt complete, with songwriter/keyboardist/vocalist Christine McVie back where she belongs after 16 years away from the band.

“This is quite an auspicious occasion,” McVie told the full stadium. “I haven’t been to Adelaide for 30 years.”

The crowd welcomed her with open arms – her voice and her songs are a vital piece of the Fleetwood Mac puzzle.

McVie looked effortlessly cool behind the keys, standing at the right hand of former husband and bass player John McVie who was, together with mercurial drummer Mick Fleetwood, rocking the “Morris dancers on acid” look. Stevie Nicks was front and centre, the eternal waif, and next to her was guitarist and vocalist – and former lover – Lindsey Buckingham, looking youthful and handsome in jeans and a sports coat.
