Yes ~ I gathered that much... but my point is, that you hear only 2 lines of vocals from the song that was posted... Where is the rest of the song???

That's all that the person posted. You don't need any more of the song to hear how she sounds. I was talking specifically about how her voice cracks on the word "calm". She sounds really sick

At hotel in Tacoma finally! Stevie sounded a little tired but she pulled through and sounded great anyway!! The Tacoma Dome was packed full!!! Lindsey on fire!!! Stevie wore frankenboots and I didn't see her change into platforms or boots. No big twirls either that I noticed Sat night.
GREAT Tacoma concert even though the sound wasn't the best in the Dome.
Security was lax. They were letting people go up front and take pics. I went up halfway through concert. Taller people were nice and let me go up front of them since I am really short. haha No security stops. Hope my photos turn out! Going to bed FUN night!!!

That's one of the main reasons why I didn't make the trip up from Portland- bad venue. Wish they played Key Arena.

That Storms clip sounds really bad. Her voice is not good there at all - that's the worst vocal I've heard all this tour. Some voice cracks are nice...for example at the philly show at the end of Rhiannon she seemed to really hold out the 'nowwww' part - and at the very end her voice cracked so she said 'noowwwwwwwwowww' which IMO was cool because she really held out the note and tried to hard with it. It also sets it apart from other Rhiannons this tour.

But the storms vocal there doesn't sound like she was trying to reach anywhere vocally - her voice just fell apart their and on the word calm. That hurt.

I think she sounds great on this, especially when her voice cracks. It cracked all the time back in her glory days and nobody seemed to give it much notice. It gives the song that bit of raw edge and realism that the show is otherwise lacking.

Mac revives the past

Just like old times as Fleetwood Mac rocks GM Place

The Province, May 17, 2009

Grade: B+

Fleetwood Mac is using this tour, Fleetwood Mac Unleashed, to survey its own legacy since the mid '70s.

So let's do the same.

In one of the many improbabilities of a long career, Rumours was the best LP of 1977 -- or it was the Sex Pistols' Never Mind the Bollocks?

Rumours arrived with a continuing soap opera and a wealth of hit singles. Bollocks, on the other hand, glued the Sex Pistols in a time. Rumours was the very thing Bollocks was against, but if over time Bollocks can be appreciated for some good rock 'n' roll, Rumours' songs have each taken on a special meaning and the album has come to symbolize survival.

Mick Fleetwood and his fellow co-founder, John McVie, knew how to roll with the punches and their new recruits, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, took note.

Now, between Nicks and Buckingham, they have made their own lore.

This tour celebrates that lore. Apart from two video screens, a few swirling scrims and six additional singers or musicians, the four have mounted a simple production in which the songs are the real stars.

There are 23 of them in all in a two-and-a-half-hour show. Of these, only one -- "Oh Well" -- harks to the old Fleetwood Mac and only two come from the solo careers of Buckingham or Nicks.

Fleetwood is an animated eccentric, McVie the anchor, Nicks still the sensitive waif, Buckingham a stage-stalking guitar hero. Some of the songs are bigger stars than others.

"Rhiannon," for instance, got the first loud applause. But Nicks' "Sara" was watery and didn't have the same impact.

Buckingham's solo "Big Love" stood out for his urgent playing, but his "Go Insane" wasn't as well known or as well received. "Go Your Own Way" and "I'm So Afraid" burned with intensity. Nicks' "Gold Dust Woman" was steeped in mood.

Over the years, the four original members of the longest-lasting edition of Fleetwood Mac now have intuitive understanding of themselves and their songs.

She may be retired from the band now, but Christine McVie wrote "Don't Stop."

It seems too late now.
