Tulsa-roll call, reviews, etc.

[SRhiannon]

Yeah..........I figure that the band will spend the night in Tulsa since their next concert is in Dallas a couple nights later. BUT, where are they staying.........hmmmmmmmmmm, just wondering.

[Musicman408]

That kind of info really isn't released. However, I do believe the band was staying in my hotel in Columbus!!

the Renaissance Hotel possibly, The downtown Doubletree??? In the past most of the musicians who played a venue in downtown stayed at the Doubletree...Sure not the Camelot, RIP Camelot.

Just watched the weather on the local news, supposed to rain and be cool with a high of 58 on Sunday...Prepare for a wet evening folks.

[SRhiannon]

Yeah, those would be the two places I would think also. The Doubletree is the closest one to the BOK center........hmmmmm. Yep! It's going to be a wet night - but a GREAT one!

[LukeA]

That's not how the schedule goes, but.. I can't see them spending any night in Tulsa. They're probably hubbing out of Dallas for 3-4 of those dates.

[Tusk!]

Are there any good, fun bars or restaurants close to the BOK Center in Tulsa for before/after the concert to have a drink??

[SRhiannon]

Yes, there is Baxter's about 3-4 blocks away from the BOK center. Great food! It's not usually open on Sundays but he plans to be open from 4-8pm due to the FM concert.

You are correct....I meant St. Louis. Thanks for the correction! ;-)

[DavidMn]

Isnt there a mexican resturant somewhere in downtown Tulsa that's good and well known too?

[Spikey]

Hey everyone,

I was listening to Sirius this morning at work and literally switching channels that usually play FM all morning trying to find a FM song, in preparation for my big night tonight.

I was *this close* to calling Sirius and demanding they play a track, and thankfully I heard "Gypsy" at about noon. I was so damn happy. It was hard not singing along in front of my customers.

SO, who's going, and who's excited?

I can't make it out there tonight, but where are you sitting?
I might look for you if I know where you'll be.

Has the set list changed? I hope not. It was good when they started the tour.

Fleetwood Mac, the multi-Grammy winning, multi-platinum Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, is back on the road for the first time in five years after several successful solo projects. It's also fresh off a tour last year that sold out venues across the globe.

The British-American rock act formed in 1967, and will make this tour with members Stevie Nicks, Mick Fleetwood, Lindsey Buckingham and John McVie. Some of the band's biggest hits include "Go Your Own Way," "Say You Love Me," "Over My Head," "Tusk," "The Chain" and "Dreams." They've recorded more than two dozen albums.

In a recent interview, longtime member Lindsey Buckingham ruminated all things Mac, a band with a long history of monster successes, flops, rebirths, infighting, drug abuse, sobriety, breakups and make-ups.

Buckingham summed up the band's magnetic and sometimes chaotic chemistry in a recent interview: "We are a group of great contradictions, a group that in some strange way probably doesn't really have any business being in a band together because of the range of sensibilities is disparate.

"But that's in fact what makes Fleetwood Mac what it is. It's the whole being greater than the sum of the parts. It's the kind of energy that is created from that kind of contrast in personalities."

Also, band members Nicks and McVie commented on the tour name, "Unleashed," in the telephone interview transcript received by the Tulsa World.

Said Nicks: " 'Unleashed' to me meant unleashing the furies, unleashing us back into the universe. 'Unleashed' to me was an edgy term of throwing this amazing musical entity back into the world that we had been away from for 4 years.

"And so we I never looked at it as being as being 'leashed.' I looked at it as unleashing a fury which is what Fleetwood Mac is a lot of the time."

When asked whether fans could handle the fury, the quips were short and certain.

McVie: "No."

Nicks: "It's heavy. You might have to wear your armor."

I am PSYCHED about this show tonight! My first time seeing Fleetwood Mac... I have seen Stevie twice before but THIS will be the ultimate concert experience!

[Spikey]

I might look for you if I know where you'll be.

I'm in the highest level, but right in front of the band. Lowest row of the top level, right in front of the stage.

I have to ask- how can you look for me if you can't make it there? The mysterious David strikes again.

I'm assuming maybe once they can do a concert series and not change the setlist. As long as they don't drop anything good, I don't mind if they sub anything in, I'm more concerned about losing tracks from Tusk altogether, like Sara or Storms. But I'm not going to worry about it too much.

I'm too damn PUMPED!!

My sentiments exactly. And it's my first time taking the plunge to see the 'Mac also.

We (my wife and I) just heard "Stand Back" on the radio on the way home and were singing feverishly- I wonder if it's going to be a good version tonight.
