Sacramento Concert Cancelled - Page 3

FMlex · #31 05-18-2009, 03:44 PM

What a bummer.

I'm so sorry to all the fans that were so looking forward to tonight's show.

As others have mentioned, I do find it somewhat rude that they (band, management, whoever) wait until practically the last minute to cancel/postpone the show. Hardcore fans surely have been counting down the hours and minutes until showtime! I hope that whatever the rescheduled date is, that all the fans here that had tickets are able to go.

As for the band... I sure hope whoever is sick (*cough cough* Stevie *cough cough*) gets better ASAP. I just cannot make myself believe that they're cancelling because a band member (*cough cough* Stevie *cough cough*) doesn't want to be there.
She knew it was going to be a grueling tour (as Fleetwood Mac is a very successful rock band), she knew she had hip/wrist/knee/joint problems, she knew about the stage lights, etc. So if she didn't want to have to do all of this, then she should have just said no to the tour.
It's not like any of the band members need the money. They're set money-wise for the next 100 years at least.

No one wants to see a boring show. I know that Lindsey goes out and gives 150% every night, but I'm not so sure about Stevie. Judging from reviews here, it sounds like she's just going through the motions nowadays.
Heck you might as well just pop in your blu-ray Soundstage, grab an adult beverage, and park your butt on the couch. You'd get a better performance anyway!

It sounds like the plan is go back and play the same venues in Calgary/Edmonton/Sacramento on yet-to-be-released dates. Once they announce the new dates, you'll have the opportunity to return your tickets for a full refund (minus the Ticketmaster service charge).

What made it not mild in your neck of the woods has to do with a geological idea known as site response, & much less so with any mechanistic quality of the quake itself (which in this case is classified as a light quake -- quakes whose mag measures between 4 & 4.9). That's why there's such a bafflingly wide variety of experiential reports among Californians who are short distances from one another whenever a quake occurs.

I will pray for a speedy recovery for whoever is sick (though its probably Stevie) for the selfish reason that I am going to Los Angeles, Vegas and Atlantic City and have been suffering withdrawal since seeing Stevie at the Fantasy Springs casino in Indio over a year ago.

Im sorry to hear that.I can understand band members can get sick.they are people too,it really sucks whan last minute cancelations happen,but it really sucks like diehard FM fans like us come from 3.000 miles and from other countries to see a concert.In my tour following Stevie/FM shows over the years I think I had a few cancelations, Couple of Stevies and a couple of Fleetwood Mac shows.3 shows I remember as of now ,Stevies Saratoga Springs NY show do to a bad storm rip through the area the same night.Stevies Bristol CT at Lake Compounce here in Connecticut do to the places corrupt management at the time was not paying the artists so her management back out of the show last minute. Fleetwood Mac postponed due to death of a relative in the band.so far thats all I can think of now .I hope they will get Rescheduled
quickly for you guys out there.

I'm pretty sure we live fairly close and I didn't feel a thing...

Hey Niki..

Yeah, bless her heart.. I thought to too.. she didn't seem to sound too good, even on the Vancouver- "Storms".. She's really got something pretty bad, and I hope she feels SO much better soon, so there won't be any other shows cancelled...

I live about 75 miles away from you now. Relocated. Everything rattled in my house, but nothing fell.

Are you going to the L.A. or Anaheim show?

Great, major, strong, moderate, light, minor . . . none of those terms really matter if you've sustained damage. I mean, they don't matter to the individuals who experience it, whether or not they matter to scientists. If I had sustained a fissure that would cost $2000 to repair, it would be classified as a major earthquake to me. Period.

Of course, none of the Macsters sustained any damage, I'm sure, so the EQ has nothing to do with the cancelled concert.

Yes and yes.

I went to the Tacoma show and not only did Stevie's speaking voice sound like she was sick (her singing seemed fine) but she was wearing the boks and had a slight limp about half way through the show when she was walking off stage. I don't think she was feeling so good.
