European tour dates!

[Matthew]

so... I was at O2 World in Berlin in October 2009 to see Fleetwood Mac ... and I´ll be at O2 World in Berlin in October 2013 to see Fleetwood Mac... I hope there will be something different ... I ordered a ticket in the very place in the middle down there in front ot the stage... not sure which row, but I hope it will be very near... I hope I´ll get something through our very good post service it wasn´t cheap...
So Fleetwood Mac live again, for the second time in my life... can´t believe it

I just wish Christine would tour with them again... well I hope at least London fans will see her on stage saying hello at least .

I saw the new photos of her and Mick, and Rick Vito, she really looks good, who could say she looks like almost 70 years old... the resting maybe helps

That reminds me, we have always had a 5 year question about Mick's true age and even Lindsey teased him about it one time on stage saying, "which is it?" But if i was him, I wouldn't bother pointing out I was 65 and not 70 if I didn't LOOK it.

sometimes it's hard to realistically assess how old you look though. Mick looks really good these days imo, much better than he looked in 70s and 80s.

I know you have many public forums from which to choose.

I was also thinking about positive v. negative reinforcement. During the break between the first and second legs of the SYW legs, Mick knew that fans wanted to hear more new songs and he said that he himself was pushing for SOTM, but he didn't think it was going to happen. So, they knew then and always knew that focused fans wanted change. But i think they also realized that they would always have focused fans and didn't feel much of a need to please them.

But listening to Stevie this year, it sounds like feedback she got from people about the Unleashed tour being formulaic kind of stuck with her and she wanted to shake it up after that to show that she could. It seemed to me that maybe hearing people say, "you guys just do the same thing over and over again" lit more of a fire under her and made her want to prove critics wrong. And the negativity came closer to sparking a change (or at least talking about sparking one) than anything else had.

Yes, we don't have the objectivity to judge our own looks. You know, we had been discussing HAHTF and thinking of that era of Mick and (shudder) the album cover, I would say that to me he was an unattractive young man. As an older man, I might even consider him handsome, if he didn't have that pot belly. The gray ponytail has a distinguished air, a certain flair. And I was always drawn to his accent and speaking voice. I don't think he looks youthful, but I don't find him unattractive now. I have found him ugly in past incarnations, though.

I agree with all of this. When he was young he was too thin and his pecker was always protruding through his jeans which I found quite nauseating because he was so unattractive.

Yep. I´m from Prague. But you know... Fleetwood Mac is not so well known "in the East"... and it´s not such a big problem to go to Berlin for me, it´s about 5 hours by train. I travel a lot around here... but it´s true that I wouldn´t have to pay any post fee and hotel.
