Fleetwood Mac Tour Announcement

The Princess Bride

Wow.
Just realised it's 30 years since my first ever concert.
This, without a doubt, was the best ever.
Brilliant.

Very good gig but songbird sounded terrible possibly Christine's voice was a bit jaded

Yea thought the same , you could hear she was struggling at times but still great to hear it.

Agreed they really seemed to enjoy it and the setlist was great . Was the story at the end 100% true? about McVie coming to Dublin on the last tour to see them etc.

If i had the money id def go again to the other gigs

Bring back Peter Green, even in his current state of health. Lindsey Buckingham is woeful.

Yeh, she rehearsed 'Don't Stop' with the band in Dublin to prepare for her cameo at two London gigs in 2013. There's an interview somewhere online with Stevie discussing it.

For some reason i had a feeling they were gonna open up with The Chain , Then once Mick started behind the kit i knew we were getting the Chain What a way to start the gig , Loved Tusk live

Pity Lindsey's so shy, isn't it?

Great gig, it's been a while since I was in the Point/o2/three/whatever and I'd forgotten how pleasant it can be as a venue. Had to leave just before the encore unfortunately but everyone was in good form.

Yeah, that story was true alright about Christine. I was at the last gig in September 2013 I think and she was there. She played at a following gig in London at the time I think - just 1 or 2 songs.

What's this about? Lindsey Buckingham is a genius and a legend. What is his current state of health?

Fantastic gig. All sounded great. Ye Christine was fecked by Songbird but still gave it her all. Highlights for me were Tusk I'm so afraid Gypsy landslide and Go your own way only bad song for me was gold dust woman

Green left 45 years ago, time to move on, surely.

Don't get me wrong Lindsey Buckingham is a brilliant guitarist but he would not be in the same league as slash and the likes. Macs music is completely different to guns n roses, journey etc

The amount of drunk people I saw outside when the show was over. What's the point in going to a concert and getting out of your head. I'm going to acdc wednesday week and I'm dredding the amount of drunken idiots around for that

You can't be serious surely.

Yes. Yes they would be entirely different.

Care to elaborate as to why you think he's "woeful"? You can have a personal opinion of somebody but woeful he is not, he's a fantastic guitarist and songwriter. He may be a bit egotistical and stubborn at times but you cannot take away from the mans natural talent. The Peter Green FM was a completely different band to the current and most successful line up that is still going today. That's not to say Peter Green wasn't an immense blues guitarist but it was a much different musical style to every thing that FM achieved with Buckingham/Nicks.

Anyway, looking forward to the July gig, I've been to see them twice in the past few years, Sep 2013 in the 02, and last October in Madison Square Garden. Have to say the sound in the 02 was far superior to MSG so glad to be heading back to it.

Glad someone else thinks like this too.

I just don't get the need to have a bucket load of booze at any gig- cracked.The amount of crushed plastic and bottles on the floor afterwards speaks for itself.
Heading in on LUAS, some women on their way to The Script were loud and vulgar -decanting booze into their plastic bottles. LUAS heading back to car park was taken out of service as someone vomited in it.

But.
I'll be nice and kind, Mick Fleetwood wants us all to be kind.:D

I'd like to see slash playing the guitar solo in I'm So Afraid pickless

This was my fifth Mac concert and absolutely the best I've seen them, no question. Can't wait for July gigs now!

Slash? Of all guitarists you're going to pick Slash as the benchmark?

That probably sounded really snobby, sorry.

Agree with another poster, I thought Lindsey looked very frail and ill but maybe Mac regulars could set me right. Great gig, atmosphere was cracking,sound was spot on, visuals too. First 20 mins in particular were magic.

He didn't seem that way to me -- he's been skinny for a long time and he definitely wasn't any less energetic (!) than other times I've seen him.

I don't mean to single you out ... but that's wrong on so many levels. Slash is better than him at wearing top hats ... that's about it .... and even then , he's not as good at it as Stevie Nicks

fabvinny

what time did they come on stage? heading to one of the july gigs so just wondered.

ghostdancer

about 20:10, finished around 22:45 i think.
