October 25 Helsinki Concert Cancelled

Come on! to my knowledge, there is one Ledgie since 2003 who is Finnish. Am I the only one that feels sorry for him? FM has not played Finland for... About 38 years? And now they cancel? That sacks.

I feel for him.

I thought that would be a great place for a world tour to "Finnish"

I appreciate the sympathy guys. It's not a very big deal for me because I already saw them in Germany 10 years ago. And while that was an unforgettable night, it's not something I've obsessively wanted to repeat again. There's still the same core 15 songs that they play with only a third of the setlist changing. It makes that one gig all the more unique then.

It's the other Finnish fans that have never seen the band that I feel sorry for. Some were fans even before it became trendy to like the band, something that was made possible by the somewhat recent indie trends. But of course there's people also in the trendier bunch who genuinely love the band, and that's great. There's not many of us fans here, but there's certainly more than there were in 2003, I can tell you that.

I'm glad that Sweden remains an option for some people here. I know people who went there in 2009 and enjoyed the show. I'm a different person now with bigger interests than Fleetwood Mac, although the band still remains a part of my life, so I won't be going this time either. But to anyone who goes: have a blast!
