On With the Show Rehearsals

[Feather Blade]

I'm really surprised more information regarding how rehearsals are going hasn't trickled out yet. Hopefully we will hear some tidbits at some point.

I would love to hear what they are trying to bring into the setlist.

I agree.Probably some vids will pop up on the social nets later in time.

In the meantime I hope it will be a surprise with the setlist line up.
Last year we had the surprise of hearing Sisters live.This tour hopefully will focus on Chris and her music.Thats whats most of the FM fans are looking for.

I'm sure they'll figure out a balanced set that will equally feature each of them, as they always have in the past. We can only hope for some surprise performances. That's what most Fleetwood Mac fans are looking for.

I really hope they keep Sara in the set list. I really want to see it live with Christine on the piano. Christine's piano riff is what makes that song so amazing.

So does Lindsey's incredible guitar work, as he used to do it (hasn't come close in the recent tours):

The first 2.5 minutes of that video are amazing. Well the whole video is, but the first 2.5 minutes are really amazing. John's bass is amazing also.

The only live version of Sara besides that one I can listen to is from the Live album (1980). It's just incredible, how they used to do that song. Really, it was amazing because it featured all of the elements of the band at their best...the rhythm section, the guitarwork by Lindsey working to enhance the song, the piano/keyboards, and Stevie's voice at that time (the end is just ethereal).

THANK YOU! lindsey has not done those beautiful arpeggio parts since Sara's return in 2004. To me, it just makes the song. Not the same at all when he just does more of the rhythm riff.

Will it will only a month away until they hit the stage in Minneapolis, MN Target Center end of September.

They only got a few more weeks to work the tunes out.

They will be OK after singing the tunes over 1000 times over the years.Its good to have the techs work out the bugs in the sound and lighting equipment before they hit the road.

They haven't played with Christine in 16 years. It seems like a short time (a couple months) to practice all her songs they haven't played in that long. But then maybe it was like riding a bike, so to speak, I wonder what it was like for the band to be playing her songs with her again. What do you guys think?

Don't forget she has to work on their songs that she hasn't sung and played keys for 16 years.

Hahahaha Yes a very short time .Plus the projects the member got to contend with takes rehearsal time away too..I agree about riding a bike.Years went by since I got my fat a$$ on a bike and I was alittle shaky when I first got started and I was OK later on the ride.

That probably will be the result with all five rehearsing.They work the bugs out and they will be fine to face us fans later September .

Chris had the warm up with the other 4 last year when she was with them.Now this is a full blown tour.
