R u serious. Of course the "vibe" is cool because you agree with him. Man the hypocricy is incredible.

It sounds to me like you are taking it personal. Obviously it is because you do not agree with what I am saying so you protest.

Ironic that so many here think it perfectly ok to attack Stevie and when someone tries to defend her they then attack her defenders. Seriously WTF???

I stand by everything I have said.

Thank you.

I'm not here to attack Stevie.

And I wouldn't exactly call your defense a defense, more a bunch of exclamations you pulled from your imagination really.

That's my problem.

March 8, 2009 Auburn Hills, Michigan (The Palace)

More than ever, the Unleashed show underscored the fact that
Fleetwood Mac has become the Buckingham Nicks show. It gave
the night two distinct flavors, Nicks' ethereal cool and Buckingham's
manic edge.

It gives a dominant edge to Buckingham, with his fluid, finger-
picked guitar styles and aggressively inventive melodies such as
"Go Insane" and a solo rendering of "Big Love". He delivered a spirited
take on "Oh Well", then tore the roof off with a searing solo at the end
of the slow-burning "I'm So Afraid" that made it as much a highlight as
any of the set's bigger hits. Nicks did rise to the occasion with her 1983
solo hit "Standback", and had the night's last word with "Silver Springs".
But even she seemed respectful of, and perhaps resigned to the sheer
force of her former boyfriend's musical personality.

Buckingham noted during the concert that "everytime we get together
again it's always different, always a sense of forward motion, and we
always have more fun." The Unleashed show is more like a holding
pattern, but few in the audience would deny there's fun in hearing all
those hits.

have they been reading this thread?
so is Mama really holding back
or do u think she is really seeing Lindsey's "force" for what it is
and is genuinely sayin, hey, you go have this one...

I thought for sure they would change it somehow, someway but no. It's been sung the same, with both FM and solo, since The Dance. The only change is the addition of the piano intro. I know she's not gonna sing it like she did in the 70's anymore, but they could do a similiar arrangement, with the long solo in the middle, and it would at least feel like it's new and different. It's one of Stevie's biggest hits, yet it always feels like it's being rushed. And I'm sick of those sleeves, too!!

Mama needs to sing it like she did on the RAL tour

YEEEEEEEEEAH

You guys irritate the sh*t out of me calling Stevie "Mama" all the time. Sounds so disrespectful to a woman that deliberately is not one.

Agreed.

But she's our mama.

I think it's funny. Sorry we're upsetting you. Is La Nicks any better? The Queen? How about Steph?

If you conducted a poll of a FM audience, I doubt that most of them would say they were there to see Stevie. Hers is the most recognizable name, to be sure, but they really have a much more general idea of who FM is. More people are specifically there to see the group that played for Bill Clinton than are there to see Stevie Nicks.

I think the casual audience member has hit songs in mind, rather than people.
If you separated them up, would Stevie have more fans there than other members? Yes. But does that make most of the FM fans Stevie fans? No way.

This should be an SAT question.

Oh, for sure. Stevie's name might be the most recognizable to the general public, but that doesn't mean people know just who she is & what she's famous for. Let's not forget all the people who still think she's the dude & Lindesy is the chick.
