Fleetwood Mac at Dodgers Stadium vs. Buckingham McVie at the Greek

[dontlookdown]

I'm not a big fan of stadium shows (or nostalgia act set lists), but I hate missing any show with Lindsey Buckingham. And I love the Greek Theatre in LA.

For those of you who have seen Buckingham McVie so far, would you recommend I forgo Fleetwood Mac and see the smaller show at the Greek instead?
I'm a little put off by the pre-recorded back up harmonies/instruments, but that's not a deal breaker.
My kids (yes my teenage kids) want to see Fleetwood Mac; but I told them it would be better to see them on a real tour when it's just them (with plenty of rehearsal under their belts), and not with a stadium full of aging drunk/high people in the heat of downtown LA.

I'd personally choose Buckingham McVie but I'm just tired of the big cash grab FM tours. The vibe of the Lindsey/Christine shows is also much happier and relaxed IMO.

my friend and i had 2 our teenage daughters with us today and they both loved the show. Buckingham McVie at the Greek, no competition!

You won't avoid backing tracks and harmonies going to see Fleetwood Mac, unfortunately.

It's not the backing tracks or added harmonies that made me miss the OWTS tour, it was the lack of new material. It was the first concert I missed since the Rumours tour. I'm not sure if I will see the them in 2018 if there is no new music. This is what makes me look forward to the the Buckingham Mcvie show in Philly. 8 new songs from the new album.

Plus two solo songs of his! It was really refreshing to hear something other than the tired, old war horses we're used to.

Thanks - just needed some perspective from other true fans.

Scored my Buckingham McVie tickets at the Greek. Not a bad seat in the house, but I'm in the front section.

I missed the last two FM tours, but from what I heard (and what I saw on Youtube), the tour that was supporting the EP seemed to be the looser, higher-energy tour.
There are versions of Sad Angel, Gold Dust Woman, and Sara that are as good if not better than when I saw them in the early 80's.

The reunion tour with Chris seemed great, but a little too rehearsed and reserved?

We wouldn't be dealing with those tired, old war horses if it wasn't for Mama Stevie. A new album is indeed needed.
