Seriously, I am looking forward to the videos? Since you are Japanese, I'm sure you had a good one if not several.

he does own Halloween...he also throws this huge Halloween party every year (not sure if hes still doing it or not). I only attended one year, dressed as Stevie, of course!

I was hoping that there would be tour books (esp. since there was a sign that said 'PROGRAMS', sadly, they were not there) They had circlular tambos for sale for 40 bucks. Not sure if that was new or not, but I've never heard about them before. I got a brown shirt with the band in front and the penguin logo they are using on the back. The hoodies are really nice, but I just couldn't spend 85 dollars on one. The woman in front of me spent 320 some dollars on Merchandise! We didn't even pay that much for 11th row!

Great review! Those circular tamborines sound new. That's a pretty interesting souvenir.

I enjoyed the bit about Gypsy and them asking how stoned she was and she said "pretty stoned." That's perfect. I love it when they are joking.

Fleetwood Mac hot and cold in Philly stop of greatest hits tour

By Katherine Reinhard

Perhaps it was because they had been on break for a few weeks. But there seemed to be two distinct Fleetwood Mac bands on stage at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia last night.

The first took up more than half of the two-hour plus show featuring greatest hits from the band's mid-1970s incarnation.

Sure, there was the trimmed down Stevie Nicks in a flowing gypsy black dress, killer boots and a mike stand draped in black scarves. Yes, the first three songs - "Monday Morning," "Chain" and "Dreams" - are among their best and could easily have filled out the end of the show.

But the performance was flat. You could barely hear Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham seemed to be trying too hard. Group founders Mick Fleetwood and John McVie were little more than wallpaper. And the back-up band and singers may as well been on another stage.

Ten songs in I was so bored that I seriously contemplated going to the bar area to watch the Flyers get hammered by Pittsburgh.

But then the second Fleetwood Mac band showed up when Fleetwood, McVie and the backup band and singers left the stage. It was just Buckingham and Nicks up there, like their pre-Mac days with Buckingham on acoustic guitar. Now dressed in a claret dress, Nicks' voice finally kicked in. It was a bit deeper than her early years, but it was still there. The duo performed "Landslide." The lyrics were not lost on the mostly older audience. "Children get older," Nicks sang.. "... I'm getting older, too." The crowd ate it up.

From then on it was a really good show. Fleetwood, McVie and the others returned to the stage. Fleetwood moved up to a small drum kit at the front of stage. When Nicks sang "Gold Dust Woman" it was as though she had moved into a different astral plane. Buckingham took on Peter Green's part in "Oh Well," the only song from the pre-Buckingham-Nicks day, and proved he still can play guitar like a '60s rock star.

By the time the band closed the show, playing "World Turning" and "Don't Stop," I wanted to stand up and demand a redo of the first half. I guess I'll have to wait for the next tour.

He (along with most of the Halloween crew) sat a few rows behind me. He was ALL decked out in some huge rocks and a black and gold jacket that only he could pull off... I got to say hi to him after the show and 'congratulate' him on the dedication.

Couldn't really see - did a ledgie do it? Also, I hope to have the pics up some time soon...I think I got some good ones.

Was this over by Stevie?

A certain person in the front row did not like that someone occupied her seat as they let people stand in front of the stage. Her husband/boyfriend tried to calm her down a little as she berated that other person. She shot back at him with something to the effect that "just because it's ok with you doesn't mean that it's ok with me!"

Since they were back to back, I'm trying to picture what gyrations could have knocked her top out of place! That little moment would have made my entire night. I'm easy.

Yeah, right near Stevie. That must have been it, thanks. I got a little worried at first because I remember their was a SYW tour show where there was a bigger fight and it upset the band. That stuff can mess up a show.
