My point: Did you, at the time you left The Palace, feel as though you got your money's worth? My guess? I am sure you did. That is what it was about. You were entertained. You may have even smiled, danced, or were singing along?!?! So from that- the band did it's job. The band is playing really really well. There will always be a little something to judge. These are humans... Look at Janis... how frequently was she in tune? But she made us feel, think, and moved us. That is what it is all about. They did their job, they did it well.

Of course I felt I got my monies worth!
It WAS a good show. Yes I did hoot and hollar and dance a bit...lol
I think we are getting our lines crossed. I am NOT bashing Fleetwood Mac as horrible or saying it was a "BAD" show. Was it worth $234? umm....i guess it was since i paid for 2 shows...lol
Maybe i should have started out this thread by saying "musicians only" or something.
I realize that from a non musicians perspective (a critical one at that), what i'm saying makes no sense or seems a bit unfair, or maybe you really just don't hear what I hear.
I also understand that most of you are judging the show by how much fun you had while there. Thats ok, thats all that really matters I guess.
My criticisms have nothing to do with how much fun it was or how awe inspiring it was to be in the same building with Fleetwood Mac. Which are both true statements.
Nor is it about the "quality" of the recordings or the main mix at the show.
I thought the mix was quite good at the show.
Its just that I expected "The Dance" and it was more like a really good tribute band. RFM comes to mind.
PS, I'm not using any emoticons for fear of being passive aggressive....lol
