Marking their 17th tour since their first in 1970, Fleetwood Mac were back in Scotland last night at the stunning new Glasgow Hydro. The concert was a complete sell out with 13,000 fans in attendance.

Anthems like Go Your Own Way and Rhiannon went down a storm, but Lindsay’s solo acoustic version of Big Love really stood out too. The man is a Rock God! Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks shared conversation with crowd and kept momentum going thought the 2 and a half hour set. It was also Lindsey Buckingham’s 63rd birthday yesterday, so the crowd joined in a chorus of Happy Birthday, to which as slightly bashful Buckingham replied “Don’t remind me”. Even at the ripe old age of 63, the front man still has great stage presence, and the bras thrown on stage during the performance that he still has a “ladies man” persona.

Mick Fleetwood took to the stage for an epic drum solo which the crowd adored, this was shortly followed by a touching speech in which he thanked not only the individual band members, but supporting band members and backing singers. The only downside to the concert was that the band didn’t play classics Little Lies and Songbird, but this was easy to overlook as they smashed every other song they played.

Brought back by the crowd for not one, but 2 encores, 46 years into their career it is clear that Fleetwood Mac show no signs of slowing just yet. The band played new song Sad Angel mid-set, and with new material coming out soon these musical legends are still a force to be reckoned with
