But their setlists are totally etched in concrete; they can definitely put some technical elements into the show. Or do something completely different for them, e.g., a second "B" stage, lasers, a string section... a holographic Christine McVie  . There are plenty of cool things they can do without adversely impacting the integrity of their musical performance. |
I'm all about the music and I don't care so much for all the bells and whistles, after all, we're not going to a Lady Gaga or Madonna concert here. HOWEVER, I AGREE SOMEWHAT with the above post.
I'm surprised that Fleetwood Mac have never tried to flash up their live show with vintage videos, clips and a montage of visuals FROM THE PAST.....For example, I went to see Cher about 10 years ago. In the middle of her set, she played a montage of videos from The Sonny & Cher Show, movies, interviews, old concert footage, etc.....It melded quite nicely into the new show....PLUS, the old video footage is very sentimental and cathartic. I know Fleetwood Mac are never going to have backup dancers and costumes like Cher (and I don't expect it), I wish they would include more visuals in their shows, especially with all the technology that's available now. The possibilities are endless......But, they just seem to do the same tour, time after time......I LOVE THE MAC and I"M all about the simplicity of just hearing the music.....but please spice it up a little......throw us a bone, what gives? I would like the 2013 TOUR to be JUST A LITTLE LESS PREDICTABLE !!!!
