Fleetwood Mac and Jackson Browne both delivered two-and-a-half-hour sets this month, with widely varying results. Fleetwood has three quality front people, one of them with wild energy -- hello, Lindsey Buckingham -- and an endless catalog of rockers and ballads that range sonically from "Gold Dust Woman" to "Tusk." Browne's approach of playing one slow song after another, and discarding most of his uptempo hits, was so leaden they should have passed out No-Doze.

I'm a Jackson Brown fan, but I don't think I could withstand the tedium of more than an hour and a half of sluggish acoustic ballads. I have much sympathy for his audience. After a certain point, it must feel like water torture.
