I turn 21 in April and since I played a few Mac songs at a few parties just about everybody at them has started really listening to them. One of my younger brothers and several of my cousins (again, younger than me) that I've introduced to the Mac have become fans.

They may not be a really popular band among young people but once they get a taste then, in my experience, many become fans. Okay, so they don't become rabid fans but I do know that if they tour the UK I'll have plenty of people to go to gigs with that are my age. Most of them would probably even go to more than one concert with me.

Then again, maybe I just lucked out

On the subject of "young" Fleetwood Mac fans. I'm 20 and bought some Mac albums at a record store I found in Hamburg today and the seller goes like "Aren't you a bit young for Fleetwood Mac?"

I usually get weird looks when I buy stuff like the Mac, Stevie, Dire Straits, ect., but I've never gotten a comment like that.

"Justice" is subjective in this case, I guess (for example, some people think she is perfect on If Anyone Falls from Soundstage but I think it sounds awful).

All we know for certain is that Nicks isn't going to sing it like that, & the band isn't going to play it like that. Nothing from that night or that tour sounds the same today, singer or band: The Chain, Go Your Own Way, Rhiannon, Landslide, Second Hand News, Don't Stop, etc.

It needs to be released on DVD

The song now come be coming from a place of wisdom and maturity which would make it all the more haunting and powerful.

EXACTLY. Gold dust woman is a cool song and all, but its only "AMAZING" because its given the full-on treatment with LIGHTS! and "MOVES" and ect. Sisters of the Moon could also be very hauntingly creepy and cool. I LIKE a slower more subdued version, a La the tusk "outtakes" cd where there was that alternate version. I thought that one sounded quite cool.

I especially miss the way Landslide was done back in the old days!

Enchanted and If Anyone Falls aren't holding up in concert anymore. Although when the music stops and she does the "twilight. dreamtime. somewhere" chant, that's pretty exciting.

yup! It could be totally amazing but she would HAVE to wear that same black shawl from the Tusk/Mirage shows...nothing else would do!!

I say wrap her in a shawl... dim those lights with a low light of blue... Hand her a cow bell and lower the volume of drums until she twirls herself into a tizzy! I would like to see the piano be upfront... Maybe Lindsey will drag it out of her... A la Silver Springs circa 1997...

For sure on both points. I think IFA is terribly monotone & dull. I do enjoy the acapella part at the end.

Enchanted seems slowed down to me these days, like it's a record being played at the wrong speed. I used to like it for its upbeat, happy vibe cuz it seemed to get people into the show, even if they didn't know the song. Not so much anymore. I find it dull.

I always love If Anyone Falls. The melodies never get old to me. I am so glad it has become a staple in her solo set.

Id want that blue one, like the one she wears in the beginning of the HBO WWD tour vid. Ahh hell, if they do sisters of the moon, id take it if it was preformed in a potato sack.
