[They use a picture from the Clinton performance in this article and it really was exciting. I was online at that time. I was on Prodigy, but I was not posting about music. I was talking about television. It would have been a wonderful time to see what other FM fans were saying about the reunion]

Though they began as a blues band of some note in England in 1967 and became better known through a succession of pop-minded leaders from Danny Kirwan to Bob Welch in subsequent years, Fleetwood Mac became a superstar band in the mid-1970s with the addition of Californians Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks.
After a couple of blockbuster albums and some other very popular ones, they began to splinter. Now, with singer-songwriter Christine McVie's return, the band's current tour is its first since 1998 to feature the full, most popular lineup.
The band will perform Sunday night at 8 at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
Here's a Fleetwood Mac refresher by the numbers:
•8: Years Fleetwood Mac existed before Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joined in 1975.
•34: Highest chart rank for the band before 1975.
•5: Millions of copies sold of the No. 1 1975 album "Fleetwood Mac."
•20: Millions of copies sold to date of the 1977 follow-up, "Rumours."

•71: Age of Christine McVie.
•7: Number of McVie-led songs in the current tour.
