Never heard of them playing there ... don't really know where you could find out.

Would you travel to see them? I don't know where to, but would you?

I don't think they've ever played Greece, but here's a page with a pretty decent looking record of their tours:

Look under History and click on Past Tour Pages

Thanks!

Irrelevant unrelated fact: Stevie Nicks played a concert in Dublin FOUR DAYS before I was born!!

What are the chances ....? It's destiny, right ..... it's gotta be ......

Sorry. I'll stop now

Not with Stevie Nicks, they haven't.

But you guys have Socrates & Aristophanes!! You don't need Fleetwood Mac.

Lol!
*sigh* not quite the same, though.

What I don't get is that we always have a lot of so-called indie bands playing here and they are always sold out but we rarely get the chance to see bigger or older bands like FM.
Maybe they find it a bit unprofitable to play here- it's a small country and it's far away and they will need extra planes instead of trucks etc. I don't know.

HI

, Well I rarley venture out of "stevie land" as some call it, but I read your post and wanted to say hello

What I have done in that situation is first find out what kind of music my friend tends to like. Then Insted of giving them a copy of say "Rumors" or "the greatest hits" I will give friends compilations of songs that I know they will enjoy. "FLEETWOOD MAC" with all of its various and different albums and members and their albums has bound to have something for everyone. Blues: oh well is awsome for those blues lovers : pop song: anything by christine "experimental indie brilliant but incoherent : lindsey or even if they like something random like techno play them stevies "planets of the universe remix, or since they seem to be mentioning what year it is right now play them the new Dreams remix. There is alittle something for everyone, you just gotta find it. but I agree with you, it can be frustrating but at least we have each other on the ledge!

That (the compilation) is a great idea Phoenix

I had nevet actually thought of that. I had always thought that a simple greatest hits would do in those cases .

And may I say once again I am soooo happy I found the Ledge

Anyone else find people don't realize who the songs are BY? I went vinyl hunting with a friend and I put The Very Best in the CD player and she kept saying "I didn't know this was Fleetwood Mac. I like this song."

That was me when I started listening to them again during '97. I never knew those songs I remember my mom playing were The 'Mac.

Me too, After the dance I discovered all kinds of stuff that id never heard before (but mostly those were the bootlegs, cause thats when I got into the internet!

) but I agree that happens all of the time a random song will come on and people are allways like "OHH THIS is fleetwood mac?!"

Red · #42 01-05-2006, 01:22 AM

Man, I feel pretty fortunate after reading this thread that I have a handful of friends that really like the Mac and two in particular that are as obsessive as I am. Like I'm talking daily Stevie references, travelling the Northern hemisphere to see them, drunken sing-alongs to full concerts obsessive. It's nice.

LOL!
I wanted to say the exact same thing. When the friend (the one I gave Rumours) heard GYOW and The Chain she said: "Oh, that's FM??". It seems that she had known the songs forever (and to my unpleasant surprise had chosen to ignore them - that I don't get. How can someone not like those two particular songs??). And she said she had never heard Dreams before. How is that ever possible?

By the way (and a tiny bit irrelevant), apart form what my friends like or don't like, I sometimes get the feeling that FM don't get as much credit as they should IMO. I mean, if someone asks the question who would come after the Beatles and the Stones as the most famous bands ever, to me it's pretty obvious that the answer is Led Zeppelin (even though I am not into them), Pink Floyd (that I like) and FM. (I would NOT say the Doors though - I can see why Morrison had such an appeal but as a band I don't think of them as really significant- I hope I don't offend someone by that

).
But nobody I know would give the same answer.

If people respect your opinion then it can be cool to have a band that nobody else is into, it can be sort of 'your' thing. That's certainly how it is for me. In that regard it's sometimes good to not be one of the crowd.

But when people keep just slamming you down for it, it can be hard ....

I've certainly found solace in these boards anyway.

*glomp!* You _do_ like me!!

All I get is funny looks from adults ("You... like Fleetwood Mac? Aren't they... you know... a bit... _old_ for you?") or just lots of slagging from people my age. Maybe there are people in Ireland who like them, and all the evidence points that way, but I don't think they live in Carlow!

I wouldn't change them for the world though! And there is _one_ other girl in the school who likes them. And I have Sahara!! *glomp again!*

... I can't believe there was a discussion about Irish Fleetwood Mac fans and I missed it! Dash it all...

Well, I do remember that those Irish shows in '03 sold out real fast didnt they?
