This guy was probably just pissed that they didn't let him review Masterpiece Theater: The Next Generation or something.

Definitely sounds like a "Masterpice Theater" incident to me! As Johnny Carson used to say, "May the bird of Paradise piss in his cheerios" LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL or maybe he already did ..

It wasn't well written but the current review reads as a fair assessment. Not everyone worships this band.

The SYW review was a brilliant piece. Spot on. Buckingham pawing the guitar like a dog unwrapping a Christmas present ...haha...had me PIMP.

Mostly, though, the band sounded desiccated. On “I’m So Afraid,” Mr. Buckingham’s guitar solo, which he accompanied with hoots and hollers, was excruciatingly long, and excruciatingly dull. On “World Turning,” Mr. Fleetwood saw him, but thankfully did not raise him, with his own numbing solo.

Introducing “Storms,” from that album, Ms. Nicks said the band chose it for this tour because they had never played it live before, though the turgid rendition that followed made it clear why that had been the case.

eh..

Ouch!

Oh. Thanks. Ah, Mick. I noticed that his calves are so big that the bottoms of his knickers don't button.

A less than positive review in the NY Times...

Tamed by Time: Ex-Lovers, Hit Songs

"At points over the next two hours Ms. Nicks would cede the stage to her former lover, disappearing backstage as if she couldn’t bear to watch, or couldn’t be bothered. Probably the latter."

"Mr. Buckingham, with his extravagant gestures, indulgent guitar playing and general air of preening, was trying very hard to keep a flickering flame alive — a panting salesman. Ms. Nicks, on the other hand, appeared content with laurel-resting, coasting along on the familiar: the shawls, the twirls, the fringe dangling from her microphone and, occasionally, the piercingly cloying vocals. A screen with scrolling words — lyrics, presumably — sat at her feet."
