Rated "5" by Bob

First time I've seen them in concert. Didn't like our seats, but the show was just great. Been listening to their music since the mid 1970s. Still listening and still loving it.

My seats were sixth row floor on Stevie's side. The crowd was actually really good. On the floor pretty much everyone stood the entire concert except for some of the slower songs. I only had one rude man tell me to sit down but I didn't. My mom and I switched seats so I was on the aisle and could stand the entire time without hearing the complaints. I didn't see any beer so I guess they don't serve it at the Rose Garden? So at least there weren't any dumb asses stumbling about.

Stevie was in top form. She was dancing and smiling and twirling her little legs off. Her voice was so powerful. The black dress she wears at first is actually quite pretty though it may look plain from far away. The embroidered flowers ( I think) are beautiful. Of course, the little Say You Will dance is the cutest ever. I was the only one I saw that did it along with Stevie. I don't think she noticed me though. She didn't have much interaction with the crowd. I think I saw her smile or wink at one person during the whole show. I held up a sign, but I don't know if she even read it. Beautiful Child was absolutely amazing. Though Stevie's voice has changed, it sounded just as beautiful as ever.

Lindsey, OMG, LOL. He was great. I didn't realized that during Tusk he actually, puts down his guitar and runs around like a mad man. I was laughing so hard. When he started doing the little ring around the rosie with Stevie, I think he may have been going to fast for her poor little hip. I'm not a big fan of "I'm so Afraid" or "Come" but seeing them live was amazing. I also got a kick out of Lindsey's "crab" imitation. He looks like a crab when he does that clawing type thing when he's playing, but it doesn't even look like he's playing. I wanted to play his guitar, but some people who I don't think were that big of fans did and Lindsey had to tell them like five times to play.

I made a little sign for John that said "John Rulz" lol. Anyway I kept holding it up at the end so when they all did their little bow, of course John didn't see it, but Lindsey did and pointed and smiled then got John to look and he pointed and did a little backwards jig. lol. Tomorrow I have second row seats on Lindsey's side, so I'm going to see if I can get a little recognition for the brunettes! I had a wonderful time, and the experience was one I will never forget!!

Rated "5" by Shelly Grant

Fleetwood Mac is the BEST concert I have ever been to.WOW!! The music was moving .Having many favorite songs by this awesome band, it is real hard to tell you which one was enjoyed the most of all. I've always dreamed of going to see Fleetwood Mac because Stevie, is my most favorite female vocalist is the world. I appreciate them coming to Portland Oregon to sing for us, wishing the night would never end listening to one of the BEST bands around, I can't wait and am in HIGH hopes that they will return to Portland. You bet! My husband and I will be there.Thanks so much to this awesome band! WE love you

I think they are getting better!

Rated "5" by Ron

It was a great experience again. What a treat! If anyone can tell me the last time Fleetwood was in Portland, Oregon for a concert, I would greatly appreciate it. I have a bet with my daughter that we went together to that concert. I think it was about ten years or do ago. Send a reply to ron.lang@comcast.net I would so appreciate it.

Rated "5" by Sarah

The concert was absolutely amazing. I have never seen a band come to life so much as Fleetwood Mac did last night. Lindsey Buckingham did an incredible job and in my opinion stole the show. All in all, one of the best shows I've ever been to.

Rated "5" by Maura Cioeta

Wow, what a show. Besides their incredible talent, sheer energy and great songs, Fleetwood Mac members obviously like each other. You can feel the history and it makes for great music. Lindsey & Stevie...wow! Thanks for a great show!

Rated "5" by Lindsey Newman

All the cynics who rated the show anything other than a 5, shame on you! The Mac sounded awesome! Stevie's voice was really strong and she looked so cute and happy. Lindsey amazed yet again. Mick was wonderfully eccentric as always. And John was of course subtle and cool. Christine was missed, it would have been nice to hear her, but it didn't take anything away from the show. It just goes to show that you don't need flames, flying, or backup dancers to put on a good concert, the music speaks for itself. And to quote Mick "The Mac is back!" Stevie Forever!!

Rated "5" by Mike & Shelley

After all the years waiting to see the Mac......worth every minute! It was absolutely one of the highlights of my life. The energy, chemistry, and pure musical talent of the entire band came through song after song. I've been a huge FM/Stevie fan for years - they've never sounded better than tonight.

Stevie's energy was better than I've seen in years. Her voice was strong, and she had lots of FUN with the entire band (mostly Lindsey, of course).

John was as good as always, though he stayed in the background throughout the night (nothing new here, either).

Mick was PHENOMENAL! "The Mac is back" is an understatement. Words can't describe what it's like to hear 5 min solos with such raw talent.

Lindsey was unbelieveable - such energy! I never knew that so many sounds could come out of one guitar. He had fun playing with Stevie on stage - their chemistry is undeniably as strong as ever (though at a much more mature level than in the early days, of course).

Thank you for one of the greatest nights of my life - please come back to Portland soon!
