Fleetwood Mac Article of Tour 2013

[cantgoback]

They need to do hits as well as other songs, either way, I'm excited to see them.

[BLY]

I have said this before...... Fleetwood Mac doesn't need to do anymore Buckingham/McVie songs. World Turning and Don't Stop work very well with Stevie. Add a Buckingham/Nicks set period. This is what we want.

[StandbackStevie]

I have to say I am cutting off my concert days it's to much money and to hear the same songs over and it doesn't matter to me what they sing anymore just not fun paying alot of money to a concert these days. I would be still touring till i croak at these prices and I don't blame them for touring and making more money than they ever did.and they are not the only one band or solo singers doing this. I will pass this tour this summer and watch a concert dvd when they play here probably live in boston.When come here in april.If they come around again and under $100 a ticket then I might go.To me anything over $100 bucks is way to much for any artist or legendary band.

Some of the tickets are only like $50ish at a lot of the venues. Though those would be terrible seats, of course.

Oh, well that's ridiculous.

It isn't what I want, particularly, or what the general concert-goer wants. When I last saw them the people behind me were exasperated that there weren't more "hits". I assume they referred not only to Christine's material but also to a lesser extent, as my brother suggested, a song like Seven Wonders or - only in the UK! - Oh Diane.

Yes exactly! some songs that were hits in the US/UK or vice versa were not even singles/hits in the opposite country.

I may stand corrected...but I think all the singles from TITN were considered hits in the UK, whereas 7W was just a minor hit in the US.

Oh Diane (and mb even 7W) was included in the GH 88 album in the UK, not here.

[tothegypsy]

According to Wikipedia, Seven Wonders hit #19 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, and only #56 on the UK Singles Chart.

Bye, It’s Over (Over and Over)

Fleetwood Mac and New Kids on the Block Show Up Again


By JON CARAMANICA, Published: February 22, 2013


It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday. No, honestly — it’s practically impossible, especially in an age of cyclical nostalgia and Internet-assisted memories. Old musical acts have always gone on comeback tours, but these days the disappearances are getting shorter and nostalgia is fully taking its place alongside discovery as a valid aesthetic-appreciation strategy. Why listen to the new bands that sound like the old bands when the old bands will be back before you know it?

New Kids on the Block are returning, again, just in time to glower at One Direction and the Wanted and to make a play for the parents of those groups’ fans. The New Kids have a new album, “10,” due out in April, but that violates one of the core rules of comebacks: Don’t dilute the memories. The group should know better. It’s been through a couple of comebacks already. To sweeten the New Kids’ forthcoming tour — menacingly called “The Package” — it will be joined by 98 Degrees, a boy band it clearly fathered, and Boyz II Men, a post-boy band that it predated but probably aspired to be. The three groups invade Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y., on June 1; the Izod Center in East Rutherford, N.J., on June 13; and the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on June 16.

Whatever intra-group conflicts the New Kids may have had to overcome in order to hit the road successfully and shake down long-loyal fans, they pale in comparison with what’s driven Fleetwood Mac to ruin time and again. Its reunion shows can be prickly affairs, depending on whether Stevie and Lindsey are on amenable terms or only barely able to share airspace. Every few years the band members huddle back up to test the waters and themselves; this time there’s a juicy deluxe edition of “Rumours” to flog. Feel the old tensions, and maybe some new ones, at Madison Square Garden on April 8; the Prudential Center in Newark on April 24; and the Nikon at Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, N.Y., on June 22

Fleetwood Mac and New Kids on the Block are both like party guests you see walk out the door and who then hide out in your garage, waiting to surprise you with their unexpected permanence. Swedish House Mafia, a cobbled-together supergroup of arena-dance heroes, is insisting on a different ending. The trio — Axwell, Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso — is splitting after a few years of reshaping the scale of the global dance music takeover to return to their modest lives as individual dance-music superstars. “One Last Tour” this jaunt is called. It plays the Hammerstein Ballroom on Feb. 28 (a charity event called “The Black Tie Rave”); Madison Square Garden on March 1; and then three nights, March 2 to 4, at the Barclays Center. After that a few more dates in Los Angeles and Miami and then, they swear, the end. As if.

Agree 1000% And no, I'm not spending $50 for nosebleed seats either. I just can't have a good time knowing I spent that much money for a 2-21/2 hour show.

I'm sure they are making money, but have you checked the fuel prices lately?? Which drives everything else up... I'm not so sure they're gonna pocket much more than they ever have comparatively. Everyone's touring these days because, as its been pointed out, artists don't make much off music sales.

Not even if it helps (once again) bankrupt Mick?

(what he had . . . and what he lost . . . what he had . . . and what he lost--you know what he had!)

I believe we all have to protect our bottom line and do what is right for ourselves. If you can't have a good time spending the money, it's definitely not the right thing to do at this time. I do understand. And seriously, I suspect you'll get a chance to see some (if not ALL) of this tour on DVD or on line. It's inevitable. I'm hoping we'll see something with Christine in a permanent form.

Concerts are luxury items. It's okay to not go.
