Fleetwood Mac gave what they had

Stevie Nicks was the great experience as one of the polished rocks biggest bands visited Jyske Bank Boxen.

"What should I see?" Asked the man to Herning Station.

"Fleetwood Mac," said one of two women on their way into the bus out to Jyske Bank Boxen.

'You know I do not, "said the man. "Yes, you are doing so," said the other woman and sang "Du kan goooo your own way 'high, Jutland colored voice.

"Well damn, that was when I just said," laughed the man and wished them good concert.

The small scene says a lot about Fleetwood Mac. They are no longer the band, everyone is talking about, but nevertheless sold more than 100 million records and made countless hits, which are stored in the mind - or subconscious - in most of the 30

Yes to Nicks
Fleetwood Mac, culminating commercially in the 1970s and 1980s, had also lured 8,500 not quite young guests Boxen just outside Herning, where Stevie Nicks did not know whether she had been before.

Singer's past with drugs in long rolls - literally - could in general felt in her disoriented, incoherent monologues. But where Nicks in the way the band's Achilles heel, as she was when she sang, also an amazing experience.

The rocky, sensual, slightly rough voice and the søvngængersikre phrasings did such 'Landslide', where Lindsay Buckingham's guitar was the only accompaniment to a triumph and in the long, vague "Gold Dust Woman" was she at once blurry and sharp, and it was not hard to hear where it also stofnedslidte, but somewhat younger Courtney Love is inspired.

Otherwise, it was now a singer and super guitarist Buckingham, who drew the biggest load in Boxen, where an astonishing unfocused audience only gathered when the hits fell.

Under 'Second Hand News' was the energetic, intense Buckingham and the rest of the band so any attention, but not so much in the blues drawl 'The Chain', where Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, which in the majority of the set was a smooth , muscular rhythm section. Off and on Curiously enough, it seemed 1:06 to 7:00 times, like Fleetwood Mac was gone by the stage. Spot tubes were turned off and only the lights on the amplifiers flashing. But every time they came back in different formations: Buckingham Solo, Buckingham along with Nick, all four front of the stage in an acoustic setup and so on.

Elegant was the closures and the twisted visuals on the screens behind the band also seemed somewhat advanced in years. But most of the songs sounded steady fresh, not least 'Dreams', 'Rhiannon' and huge hit 'Go Your Own Way', which was given with more body and weight and less popglitter than on record.

It suited the term, and Fleetwood Mac were at all where they should be musically. About a long world tour that is the right thing to do at their age and with their wild past by the course, only themselves. But it was all a privilege to be able to experience them here 46 years after the band formation and a wealth of melodic hits, internal conflicts and replacements later. And then with 'Go Your Own Way' on the brain.

Fleetwood Mac gav hvad de havde

Stevie Nicks var den store oplevelse, da et af den polerede rocks største bands gæstede Jyske Bank Boxen.

»Hvad skal I se?« spurgte manden på Herning Station.

»Fleetwood Mac«, svarede den ene af to kvinder på vej ind i bussen ud til Jyske Bank Boxen.

»Dem kender jeg ikke«, sagde manden. »Jo, du gør så«, sagde den anden kvinde og sang »You can goooo your own way« med høj, jyskfarvet stemme.

»Nå for helvede, det kunne I da bare have sagt«, grinede manden og ønskede dem god koncert.

Det lille optrin siger en del om Fleetwood Mac. De er ikke længere bandet, alle taler om, men har ikke desto mindre solgt mere end 100 millioner plader og begået et utal af hits, som ligger lagret i bevidstheden - eller underbevidstheden - hos de fleste over 30.

Ja til Nicks
Fleetwood Mac, der kulminerede kommercielt i 1970erne og 1980erne, havde da også lokket 8.500 ikke helt unge gæster til Boxen lidt uden for Herning, hvor Stevie Nicks ikke vidste, om hun havde været før.

Sangerindens fortid med stoffer i lange baner - bogstavelig talt - kunne i det hele taget mærkes i hendes desorienterede, usammenhængende monologer. Men hvor Nicks på den måde var bandets akilleshæl, så var hun, når hun sang, også den helt store oplevelse.

Den stenede, sensuelle, lidt ru klang og de søvngængersikre fraseringer gjorde eksempelvis »Landslide«, hvor Lindsay Buckinghams guitar var eneste akkompagnement, til en triumf og i den lange, udflydende »Gold Dust Woman« lød hun på én gang sløret og skarp, og det var ikke svært at høre, hvor den ligeledes stofnedslidte, men noget yngre Courtney Love har hentet inspiration.

Ellers var det nu sanger og superguitarist Buckingham, der trak det største læs i Boxen, hvor et forbløffende ufokuseret publikum kun samlede sig, når hitsene faldt.

Under »Second Hand News« fik den energiske, intense Buckingham og resten af bandet således nogen opmærksomhed, men knap så meget under den blues-drævende »The Chain«, hvor Mick Fleetwood og John McVie, som i størstedelen af sættet, udgjorde en smidig, muskuløs rytmesektion.

Af og på
Kuriøst nok virkede det en seks-syv gange, som om Fleetwood Mac var gået af scenen. Spotsene blev slukket og kun lysene på forstærkerne blinkende. Men hver gang kom de ind igen i forskellige formationer: Buckingham solo, Buckingham sammen med Nicks, alle fire forrest på scenen i et akustisk setup og så videre.

Elegant var afviklingen ikke og de udsyrede visuals på skærmene bag bandet virkede også noget bedagede. Men de fleste af sangene lød stadige friske; ikke mindst »Dreams«, »Rhiannon« og gigahittet »Go Your Own Way«, der blev givet med mere krop og tyngde og mindre popglitter end på plade.

Det klædte udtrykket, og Fleetwood Mac var i det hele taget dér, hvor de skulle være rent musikalsk. Om en lang verdensturné så er det rigtige at gøre i deres alder og med deres vilde fortid, ved de naturligvis kun selv. Men det var altså et privilegium at få lov at opleve dem her 46 år efter banddannelsen og et hav af melodistærke hits, interne konflikter og udskiftninger senere. Og bagefter med »Go Your Own Way« på hjernen.

Hele den lange vej hjem til København.
