I got home this morning, so I missed it by one day! From what I gather from the city folks there, the tickets sold out in less than an hour. I'd have been willing to buy a dangling one off of someone for a pretty price!

It was amazing ! Literally in front of Lindsey during the I'm So Afraid solo. Christine also came over a few times and collected a card and a teddy from the girl beside me. Excellent concert! In Dreams, Stevie did a high part she usually doesn't bother with so that was nice Although she really needs that surgery, my friend said she reminded her of her arthritis ridden dog trying to walk all in good faith, she was amazing regardless. As was everyone else, they put on a wonderful show!

http://www.independent.ie/entertainm...-31370339.html Review: Fleetwood Mac light up 3Arena Dublin How fitting that Fleetwood Mac should close the European leg of their latest comeback tour with a brace of sold-out shows in Dublin. It was at this very venue in 2013 that erstwhile singer and keyboardist Christine McVie reunited with her bandmates for the first time in 16 years. The success of their soundcheck jam that night persuaded the reclusive Englishwoman to rejoin full-time – and now here she was, back where it started. The sense of a group operating at full tilt was evident from the outset as McVie, guitarist Lindsey Buckingham and vocalist Stevie Nicks plunged into the harmonized introduction to The Chain, a tug-of-love ballad written while Nicks and Buckingham were in the throes of their notoriously messy late '70s break-up (heartbreaking fuel for the 40-million selling Rumours album). Half a lifetime later the tune still gleamed with acidic vim as Nicks and Buckingham locked gazes and spat accusatorially lyrics at one another. With McVie in the fold once more, it was as if a missing piece of a puzzle had clicked into place. In her absence, Buckingham's pop eccentricities wielded an outsize influence over Fleetwood Mac, his oddball histrionics threatening to capsize the ship. Tonight confirmed that McVie's classic songwriting and calm persona served as a vital counterpoint. Earlier Fleetwood Mac reunions felt like glorified Buckingham solo affairs. This was assuredly no longer the case. How or why Fleetwood Mac became the world's favourite heritage act remains a matter of conjecture. Through the '80s and '90s, the soft rock titans were an ongoing punchline. Catchy, crowd-pleasing and always on radio, they were everything a rebellious young musician might despise. However, the onward march of the decades has seen their stock soar, with hayseed Gen Yers such as Haim and Best Coast blatantly indebted to the quintet's burned-out California cool. Wait long enough and everything comes back into fashion. Straining my neck from my standing position towards the rear of the arena, I could just about make out the top of McVie blonde bob. It was all that I needed to see as Fleetwood Mac negotiated one of mainstream rock's greatest catalogues. From The Chain, they shifted gear into You Make Loving Fun, McVie's sly Valentine to a secret lover, while Nicks had an early opportunity to shine on Dreams, a scented-candle dirge whose hippy aphorisms yielded universal truths. Wiry and goggle-eyed, Buckingham was a tortured yin to McVie's understated yang. He barked into the mic and bobbed his head as he dispensed platitudes to the crowd (apparently we're still the best audience in the world). McVie, in contrast, stayed in the shadows for much of the set but, when required to step beneath the spotlight, was a searing presence, especially on Everywhere, her bittersweet love ballad. Disinterred six songs in it was a knockout punch and powerful closing argument for anyone who wondered how pop's naffest ensemble ended up its most beloved. |

I attended all three Dublin shows and am still buzzing! Took my two daughters aged 11 and 12 to the June 20th show and they had a ball at their first concert. So many emotions now that European dates have come and gone : relief that all three Dublin shows went ahead as scheduled, joy, exhilaration and gratitude to have seen Christine back . The energy, talent and professionalism of these five people is pure magic. I cannot imagine that we will see anything on this scale from them again . I note that L.B or Mick referred to" a new and very different phase in the history of Fleetwood Mac ". My guess -and I hope I'm wrong - is that this will be confined to recording.
The vibe of the audience towards the band was palpable and the five clearly had a lot of fun. I cannot get over how HAPPY Christine is on stage..........such a change to the Dance tour. I love the way she "plays" the drums in the intro to Im so afraid and the way she and John sit and have a chat during Stevie s velvet underground speech! Wonder what they're talking about? This was my 12th time seeing the band and, if it's the last......well, what a way to go! |

Dublin makes Christine smile
This is an amazing video. I saw them twice in the states and watched just about every video in every city. I have never seen a concert go so crazy for Everywhere. The crowd roars in the beginning and the arena is singing along. Chris is all smiles for the song. This is what I expected in London but it seems Dublin wins for best crowd in Europe. Chris looks amazing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSr7F8LErrM |

http://www.her.ie/life/the-bridie-di...dilemma/250317 Last month I went to see Fleetwood Mac in the 3Arena. If you haven’t yet seen them live, you do not know what you’re missing. When Stevie Nicks launched into Landslide, my eyes welled up alarmingly. Scarlet for me. |

The Independent by Aoife Kelly 12/18/2015
http://www.independent.ie/entertainm...-34299223.html Ed Sheeran's sell-out concerts at Croke Park drew a crowd of 160,000 fans over two nights and reviews were glowing. And now the 24-year-old British artist has been voted Ticket of the Year 2015 by Ticketmaster Ireland customers. He beat stiff competition from U2 for their four Innocence + Experience homecoming gigs at the 3Arena last month. Coming in third for Irish fans was Electric Picnic and the music and arts festival, held annually in Stradbally, Co Laois, also featured in the top five most highly-anticipated gigs of 2016. Fleetwood Mac, who performed at the 3Arena in July with Christine McVie back in the line-up and Irish fans voted the crowd-pleasing shows fourth in the list while homegrown talent The Script came fifth following their hugely successful Croke Park gig in June. As for next year's most highly anticipated event, there's no surprise as Adele's sold out 3Arena gigs come up trumps. Online Editors |
