5 BEING THE BEST

 

 


Rated "4" by Jon

Fleetwood Mac is a legendary band. Unfortunately, they had to a play in a venue with such poor sound quality.

They put on a great show, there's no doubt. However, Christine's absence was felt and was noticeable. She adds such a necessary dynamic to the band. The band did their best to make up for her absence though and delivered a great show.

I have never seen Lindsey Buckingham live--he's just a phenomenal player. His sense of melody and pregression of a song are just part of what makes him a truly unique song writer. And, yeah, Stevie couldn't hit the notes she used to but she didn't try to.

If you listen to Roger Daltry who, no matter what song he is singing, still tries to hit a note that he sang 20 years ago--not so good. Stevie understands that she doesn't have to hit the notes to hit the song.

Rated "5" by Jack Quackenbush

Actually, I am from Syracuse, NY . My wife and I had never attended a Fleetwood Mac Concert, and were given the tickets. We have been fans for a long time, and have almost all of Fleetwood Mac & Stevie Nicks recordings.
I was not prepared for the sensations I experienced at the concert. The sheer volume and quality of the sound was tremendous. My only regret, is that there is not another concert in our area to attend.
I must add, that all the times I have listened to Stevie, I never had the sensation of the thrill I got when I saw her in person, on stage. I love you Stevie!

The concert was really great, but they are getting older and Stevie seemed that she couldn't hit some notes, like her voice was messed up. They played great, it was good to hear them , they had 2 encores.

I am getting older too LOL (39).... Attended the show with my 18-year-old daughter. Great seats, 3rd row. We stood up and danced the entire concert. Have loved FM since Rumours, but it took years for me to figure out just how talented this group of people is. Have watched every bootleg concert I could find and FM rocks just as hard as they did 30 years ago. You've all read the set list, let me just say that every song was excellent. Don't Stop is one of my LEAST favorite Mac songs, but I was singing along with the rest of the audience, the energy was infectious.

Okay so Stevie was back in the platform sneakers (big deal) and she didn't hit the high notes on Silver Springs. Two very minor details. She was awesome and looked as though there was no place she would rather be. Lindsey played as though this night would be his last chance to pick up a guitar. There was so much emotion and technical genius in his solos I can't even describe watching him. Mick had a ball, as always. Is there a drummer Hall of Fame? There should be a statue of him in the foyer. His percussion vest is truly something to experience. John is always John. Off to the side, playing his bass without looking for any recognition. He looked content and happy to be there.

SO, in closing, it was all great. Was surprised that we were in the vast minority in "Stevie wear", that many people seemed to stay in their seats and that the security guards only let the 1st row up near the stage :( Hope to see you all in Worcester, I will be the one trying to sneak past security up to the stage.
