If You Had The Chance...

The Chain · #1 12-29-2003, 05:46 AM

SYW is the only tour I've been too (because of my age) and, if you could go to any Mac/Stevie tour, what would they be?
(yes you can say all if you want) But, if you only have a few, list them.. 1 is the best, whatever is last, is STILL wanting to see that tour, but just not as much as the others

Here are mine

STEVIE:
1. (#1 ALL TIME- not just for Stevie tours) RAL- I'm still waiting for time machines to be invented (Maybe in 20/30 years, Red Rocks here I come

)

2. Wild Heart... Stand Back

3. Bella Donna - First Tour

4. Enchanted - Great Setlist

5. TISL - Awsome VOice

6. Street Angel -Another awsome voice time

FM
1. Mirage - Great Energy, I love this tour's version of "The Chain"... Love In Store, EOTW, SOTM

2. Tusk- Great Setlist

3. Rumours... Do I need to say anything?

4. Behind The Mask - I really enjoyed Chris's songs, and Love Is Dangerous... Plus Rick is an awsome guitarist

5. The Dance- Awsome Stevie vocals/Lindsey Guitar/Chris Vocals/ John Bass/drums.... It was all awsome

Well, I've seen most of the post-Tusk tours and the Stevie Solo Tours...so if I had to pick one...I'd probably want to go back in time and see the wonder and the insanity that was the Rumours tour

I've seen all of the Fleetwood Mac tours from Rumours to the Dance, except the Time tour. But, I would have loved to have seen the White Album tour in 1975. They had great set lists on that tour, songs from the Peter Green & Bob Welch years plus songs from the White Album. They were truly Fleetwood Mac shows. I also would have loved to have seen any of the shows from the Bob Welch years, 1971-1974. From what little I've heard from bootlegs, those shows must have been fantastic.

I'd pick the Rumours tour 1977. I kind of just missed the boat on that one

Stevie did her first solo mini tour for Bella Donna in 1981 but she only toured the west coast.

I live in the Northeast but I really wish that I was old enough at that time to go out west and see a show.

GardenStateGirlie · #5 12-29-2003, 08:41 AM

Tusk and Mirage FOR SURE. And yes, The Dance. I'm still bitter about that one and my cousin will never hear the end of how he promised to take me for my birthday and never came through...tsk tsk tsk! And I would have LOVED to have seen Wild Heart and RAL.

I've seen FMac at least twice during every tour from 1974 to 1997 and once during this current SYW tour. So, not too big of a wish list. That said, however, I'd have to say, I would have liked to have seen them at least once every tour prior to that...and especially during the Future Games/Bare Trees incarnation (1971/72).

I would have liked to have seen a show or two of Christine's solo tour in 1984. And, to have seen a show or two of Jeremy Spencer's in 1998 in India. Also, it would've been cool to have been in Ghana in 1981 to see Mick's The Visitor shows.

Beyond that, I've really been blessed with good fortune to have had the opportunity to see Fleetwood Mac either together or separately through the years.

)

I'd love to have seen the Tusk tour, also, Mirage, The Dance, hell, any of them. As far as solo tours go, OOTC, Chris' solo tour, and The Wild Heart would've been awesome. Alas, they all came waaaay (well... not The Dance and OOTC) before I was even born... so... yeah

darklinensuit · #9 12-29-2003, 12:32 PM

Rumours & RAL.

HomerMcvie · #10 12-29-2003, 02:54 PM

The White Album tour, for sure

DeadliestPoison · #11 12-29-2003, 03:01 PM

For Stevie, definately Rock A Little and OSOTM.

For FM, Mirage, Tusk, and The Dance.

diamondsnake · #12 12-29-2003, 05:25 PM

Enough is enough! Can someone please explain what is sooooo great about Stevie's Rock a Little tour? I have the red rocks dvd and it is nothing special. In fact, it is a borderline bad video because of all the fake closeups. Anyway, what is the big deal? Do people enjoy seeing Stevie coked out of her brain? I just find it sad.

As far as what tour I would want to see, that would be "The Dance". I have not made up my mind about Stevie's tours though. Prob. TOSOTM.

As fans we all want her healthy, but the greatness of RAL was the sponaneity and wildness of the performances, not to mention a great set list and powerhouse vocals.

Uh...yeah. And, they did at the time, too. Stevie put on her best shows back then, "coked out of her brain" not withstanding. "Coked out" was, for the most part, socially acceptable at the time. There wasn't the "holier than thou" attitude that seems to prevail toward anyone who "self-medicates" these days.

The really sad part was that she was at her peak during a solo tour, not with Fleetwood Mac. It was all downhill after that RAL tour. The Red Rocks video/DVD is a very poor representation of the actual shows of that tour. I saw her in Costa Mesa, California on that tour (Peter Frampton opened the show) and I thought it was one of the best performances I'd ever seen by ANYBODY...at least, until Waddy's overly self-indulgent and way-too-long guitar intro for "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around". The show took a downturn after that.

I wish I would have been born earlier and could have become a fan during the early years!!

Of course, my first choice in terms of FM members is the OOTC tour!! WHY GOD WHY was I in high school hell instead of at the Caravan of Dreams watching Lindsey on the OOTC tour!!??

I'd love to have seen ALL the tours, but my first choice is Mirage/Tusk...it's tied, as they both KICK in terms of craziness.

I'd have loved to have heard LB do ISA during the White Album/Rumours tours, as his voice was REALLY high. Hee!!

Well, all I can say is God works in mysterious ways...because I found Lindsey and FM at a time when I needed them the MOST.
