I see your point. I do like when artists say some few words, it feels they want to connect with the people or at least enjoy performing. Donna Summer used to do that, and she was very charismatic. Roger Waters too, though sometimes he was too political for my taste. But Cher didn't say a word beyond Thank you when I saw her. It felt too cold.


2014 was the last time I saw Fleetwood Mac, and though I liked the intro words Stevie said before Gypsy, at the end of the show she make a loooong speech that frankly I didn't even hear, I was more interested in leaving quickly to avoid traffic as much as possible. Besides audio wasn't that good so I barely understand half of the words she said. It was good at first but then I wanted to tell her Get a life.

I'm sure it wasn't like this every night, but there must have been nights where Chris and John were sitting on that amp together and one of them mutters to the other "oh jfc, here we go again"

We'll never know, but lordy there must have been some funny exchanges between those two on that amp.

Anyone else notice how quiet that crowd was while she was talking? that would NEVER happen at any concert these days.

I wholeheartedly believe this. Chris was probably like "how the hell long has this crap been going on?" and John was just like "meh..Chris, you know how much we're taking home tonight?"

I agree; I love when the artist communicates!!

We haven't played anything from Tusk yet so, ... try some out tonight for you, actually this is the first track on side one, and it's called Over and Over...

vs.

When I wrote this song, it was 1978 and Schhhevie was standing next to me. Well her presence made me automatically more talented by osmosis. Her chiffon happened to brush against me and I instantly knew how to play keyboards and sing better... Then in 1980..... (4 more minutes) ... and it's called Over and Over featuring Stevie on tamborine...

I'm with you here. When it's just a run through the setlist with no audience interaction, it seems cold and disconnected. When the gap in music goes on for too long, however, the result ends up being the same. Gypsy is a 4-minute song, it doesn't need a 4-minute introduction. It's different if it was in a small theater and more of an intimate Storytellers type show. In an arena or stadium, at some point, it's just like, shut up and sing the damn song already.
