Fleetwood Mac on Ellen

[secondhandchain]

[QUOTE=Keith;1235882]finally watched the Ellen Show clips of the band. Hmmm...

"The Chain" was ok, but needed the microphones of both Stevie and Christine's turned up. I'm really not of fan of Neil Finn's voice here - nothing against the talented dude, but he's not Lindsey and I think the band should stay away from doing Lindsey's songs on the tour. I really liked Mike Campbell's playing - not comparing him to Lindsey because there isn't any in the context of Fleetwood Mac.

For me, "Gypsy" live will never be able to duplicate the beautiful studio version and Stevie did sound a bit rough here. In honesty, this song needs to be pared down and be done like the live version from the 2000 Arizona Heart Institute Benefit (my favorite live version of "Gypsy" by far - it's so beautiful). But then again Lindsey did play on that song so maybe skip this one also on the upcoming tour.

At least the live audience at the Ellen show seemed to be enjoying the new version of "Fleetwood Mac." I just don't know.. yet.

You DO know they pump up the audience and INSTRUCT them to act this way right? I would not be surprised if those crazed fans were from Central Casting. I am in the business, done ALL the time. They were way over the top.

A bunch of white women. Where were the men?
I guess they've got jobs and don't have time to
go to a television show taping.

They were over the top. That was an easy tell.

It think it's a fascinating tell that you're concerned the poor men were off working while their wives were frittering about at a tv show. They probably went shopping and to lunch. The nerve. Who was cleaning the house? Next thing you now they'll want to drive, wear shoes and vote. These things can get out of hand!

I am really surprised that anyone would
take what I wrote there as serious.

Is it really that easy to fool people here?

Oh. My post wasn't serious either so to answer your question yes I guess it is.
