Well it's no surprise to us the article described it more like a West End musical than a gig. A bit exaggerated in my opinion, but it makes sense comparing OWTS with the Mirage concerts. Though I think the comment was meant in a positive way. Anyway, I enjoyed a lot the 2014 NJ show, it was the farewell to me.

Loved the mention of the Cotswolds. I'd love to be there, too.
And I really wonder if the victorian wenches looked like that.

After her rhythmic ‘Rumours’ gem ‘You Make Loving Fun’, she graciously thanks the crowd from behind her keyboard. “You don’t get this chance many times in life - I got it twice,” she gushes.

Not sure what she meant. I guess it was about being in Fleetwood Mac. But twice? I think she left the band twice, so there were three chances, weren't there?

Well she announced her retirement from touring in 1990 but continued to work with the band in the studio until 1995 when the entire band temporarily dissolved.

Aw, this review fills my heart with a little joy. Back in the late 1980s or early 1990s I remember reading a brief mention about a Stevie album in either the NME or the now long-defunct Melody Maker which ended "and Fleetwood Mac should be shot in the back of the head." Even I didn't think that "Behind the Mask" merited that..

It's crazy when you think about it. The lack of output of new music from Fleetwood Mac after The Dance.
