Christine to appear at tonight's show?

brass_monkey · #1 11-29-2003, 08:44 AM

Okay, here's what my other half has just informed me. Capital Radio had a competition this morning to win tickets for tonight's show at Earls Court. The DJ announced that the line-up would include Christine McVie.

This doesn't appear to have been a mistake on the DJ's part. He made a point of indicating that Chris would be there.

I sooooo hope it happens! If not there , when where???? It is only right that Christine makes a visit in her beloved England.

Pip, I sure hope you can bring that sign you talked about a while ago!!!

Good luck UK FM FANS!!! You guys ROCK!!!

Well, I won't pretend not to be the teensiest bit jealous as I'm going *tomorrow night*, but I've just sent text messages to all my Firefly friends who are going tonight and the feedback has been a succession of OMG's !!!! LOL!

If it happens it will be absolutely fan-bloody-tastic!!

Thanks for letting us know!

You lucky ****** ****ers!!!

I hope the dj is right. That's going to be one hell of a reunion and concert!

It'll definitely make the long wait worthwhile. Enjoy the show and please do give us all the details here on the Ledge.

This better be professionally filmed/recorded.

OMG! OMG! OMG! This is so awesome! I cannot believe this, it's about time...I hope they record it!!! This is so great...how I wish I could be there. OMG, they better record this onto DVD, it'll be the first performance with all of them since I became a fan. THIS IS INCREDIBLE. Gosh, I can't imagine how excited I would be if I was actually going. LOL!

Wait, doesn't this mean that the setlist is going to be different? I mean, they have to work Christine into the show...y'all know what I mean...

Well it might only be a guest spot - perhaps in the encore or even a walk on stage just to take a bow. Who knows... But, by the end of tonight we'll know if Capital Radio were right... I *hope* they are, I would so like it to happen...

...I'd also like it to happen for the December 10th show at Earl's Court, because I'm going to that one!

Damn it damn it! My kingdom to be there!
If they don't record this, and release it, I'm gonna be pissed at Mick!!!!!

I hope it's true... I can't wait to hear what happened!!! It would be great for her to come out and sing Don't Stop and World Turning with the band

I agree, that would be awsome! I can't see why she wouldn't or shouldn't perform with them just once. It's not like she'd join them for the rest of the tour (wouldn't that be nice!?

), she'd just sing the songs that she wrote. Plus, it could potentialy be a good spot to promote her upcoming (hopefully) album.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but apart from the fact that neither Christine McVie nor Peter Green attended* tonight's show (let alone perform!

), "Goodbye Baby" was dropped from the setlist apparently "due to time constraints". The two ex-members of the band weren't even mentioned. No dedications, no tributes, nothing.

Other than that, the show was absolutely fantastic, as usual. I need to go and get some sleep now, refresh myself for tomorrow night! Front row seat directly in front of the greatest guitarist EVER....

* = when I say "attended", I mean "officially attended". One or both of them may well have been backstage, but that's neither here nor there.

Damn. Well at least I don't feel SO cheated out of getting to see her.
Damn, I love that woman

*prays Christine is at tomorrow night's show*

I reeeally hope she can at least make it to one of the shows. And if she performs, Lord I hope they put it on at least like an enhanced CD or something.

I certainly hope this isn't a permanent change!! They've played what, like over 80 shows with Goodbye Baby at the end and they only had that one issue in Lubbock I believe where they had to take off by a certain time? Why would that be an issue considering they are playing in London tomorrow night as well and would not be flying anywhere after the show.
