I've seen "Rumours of Fleetwood Mac" before. They do quite an interesting set, with 1/3 of it being dedicated to pre-Rumours stuff. The Rumours-era sets are very Stevie heavy and not enough Lindsey, but I don't think the guy playing Lindsey has the strongest voice. They were good live, although their entrance fell a bit flat when I saw them, opening with "Gypsy" didn't really get the crowd roaring.
My main complaint is that they came out to sign stuff and chat to people after the show, and I got talking about the Hyde Park gig with their "Stevie", but "Lindsey" interrupted and said "no, we didn't go to that - Stevie Nicks is a bit weird, to be honest". My respect for them died in that moment.
Here is the setlist from their current tour:
Gypsy
You Make Loving Fun
Second Hand News
Sara
As Long As You Follow
Landslide
Say You Love Me
Rhiannon
Dreams
Songbird
The Chain
Green Manalishi
Black Magic Woman
Albatross
Jigsaw Puzzle Blues
Need Your Love So Bad
Man Of The World
Oh Well
Silver Springs
Rooms On Fire
Little Lies
Seven Wonders
Everywhere
I Don't Want To Know
Gold Dust Woman
Big Love
Go Your Own Way
Encore:
Don't Stop
Tusk
When I saw them a year or so ago, they had "Eyes of the World", "Stop Dragging My Heart Around" and "Rattlesnake Shake" in the set. Their version of "Big Love" with the band was pretty awesome.
Overall, it was a great show, but at times felt like they were just impersonating the Mac for the sake of it. "Stevie" clearly thought she could just throw on some shawls and twirl about a bit and had watched the Tango video WAAAAYYY too many times. "Christine" doesn't actually play any keys, she just stands behind a keyboard that isn't plugged in.
