Fleetwood Mac's ticket prices have jumped 20 percent from the last tour -- from a top of $125 to $150 this time. Other Rock and Roll Hall of Fame acts, including AC/DC and Bruce Springsteen, are keeping their top prices under $100 in economically challenging 2009.

Can Fleetwood Mac explain the discrepancy?

"We don't do the amount of gigs that, say, a Bruce Springsteen or an AC/DC does," Fleetwood said. "We're doing 46 gigs. We're not doing 250 gigs."

Does that mean that Fleetwood Mac makes more money off a shorter tour than Springsteen or AC/DC do for a longer tour with less expensive tickets?

"I doubt it," Fleetwood said. "It's actually probably the other way around."

Good Christ. He should just ask them how much they make and get it over with already. Perhaps there's a place for him on the Fleetwood Mac accounting team.

They sound good. And I can't believe there is no additional percussionist. That's the first time FMac has toured without one since what...Mirage? If Christine were still with them I am now convinced they could go out as just a five piece again.

How did she do with Silver Springs last night?

I didn't know she had hurt her arm. She did seem pretty out of it. She moved quite slowly too. A poster on the Star Tribune website was questioning if she is/was ill. I can see why he would ask that. There was definitely something "off" with her last night and the fact that Lindsey had so much energy made it even more obvious.

Don't get me wrong, I still loved the show. Stevie really did a great job with Storms, Silver Springs and Gold Dust Woman.

As others have said, not a whole lot of interaction between SnL. I saw some during Sara, Gypsy and GYOW, but that was about it. There was no interaction at all during Silver Springs. Stevie was crying at the end (after Silver Springs). Lindsey looked pretty concerned.

It will be interesting to see how the tour progresses. I would love to go to another show and would consider it if they play anywhere in IA, WI or ND.

about stevie....this seems to happen every tour.

Remember at the very beginning of the SYW tour....when they did the aol sessions....stevie looked like she would rather of been washing dishes then doing that interview and performing. This also might of been around the time of howie epstiens death (of the heartbreakers) so who knows, maybe that was the reason at the time since she was close to the heartbreakers.

I say give it a few more shows and hopefully she will come alive. Otherwise I suspect she has really just burned herself out on the same old songs between all of here solo dates and now a FM tour....or she doesn't have anyone to be pissed at anymore...HA!

She's lost her muse.

davidmn called me quickly last night and said something about an usher finding him and four others groups of people up in 'rafters' to give them all tickets on the level just above floor...either the usher was uber generous or 'they' wanted to fill seats

Which means they probably did paper the show.

I hate to be a pessamist and I wish only the best to the band and everyone who goes to see them but . . .

I'm mighty afraid of being really let down when I see them in cleveland. I do fear stevie has lost most of the magic.

Please don't be, it really was a great concert. Lindsey seriously was on fire. He was incredible and worth the $150 ticket price.

Huh? What was that all about?

I'm not sure. She wasn't crying uncontrollably or anything, but she wiped her eyes and was very teary eyed (as much as I could see from Row 16).

Stevie was emotional during Silver Springs in Pittsburgh...especially at the end...that is why as strange of a closer it was...she put her all into it!
