I don't think you can compare U2, Bruce Springsteen or Tom Petty to Fleetwood Mac and especially this tour. The Mac has 3 front singers and one went away for 10 years and they had a reunion in 1997 The Dance. That tour played the hits and it was a huge success. Then the singer who had the most hits with the Mac left for 16 years. She is back and playing the songs we have not heard live since the 1990's. Those other bands only had one singer who never left

I saw them last year and seeing them again in 2015. If they play a few different songs, I would love that. But I am not expecting that. I am just so grateful to hear Chris's voice live again. She could talk for 90 minutes and I would still be happy. Is it my dream set list? No! But my dream set list would probably have people running for the aisles.
I feel like the band. It makes me so happy to see them so happy on stage. They sound amazing. The band has chemistry again with Chris singing and playing. We are the minority of the crazed fans. The vast majority of people buying tickets and going to the show are not Ledgies and they could not name one song prior to 1974 or any song off Tusk other than the hits. There is a demand for these songs and they are pleasing big time. I was just watching Youtube videos in Tampa. The entire arena was on its feet jumping up and down. It looked like a metal concert from the 1980's. As Lindsey said in the Red Beard interview.....the audience is on its feet the entire show "WE NEVER HAD THAT HAPPEN BEFORE.'
