For a 71 year old lady, she still looks and sounds beautiful. Her voice is so crisp and it reminds me of the first robin you hear in the spring. They were great without him, but awesome with him. She completes this band, the way Van Halen was completed when David Lee Roth came back. She left the band during that time due to an intense fear of flying. All I can say is that anyone that saw this band in the last 16 years prior to this tour should ask for their money back. Her strength however is her vocal prowess. Piano and accordion duties were handled by Christine McVie. I can’t quite figure out how the guitar sounds so good when his thumb and all 4 fingers seem to be flicking at the strings at the same time. Kind of like, if he was trying to flick crumbs from all of his fingers at the same time. His right thumb seems to act kind of like a pick, but his right hand fingers do this kind of spastic fingerpicking that is hard to describe. I have seen many players play acoustic without a pick but not many electric players. For starters, he does not play with a pick. He was not awesome, but a very unique guitar player. Lindsey Buckingham is a guitarist that wasn’t on my radar: until I saw him live. His talents are not shown off in the mostly pop rock songs that made the band famous, but over the years I have heard enough of his songs to know he has what it takes. Mick Fleetwood is a really underrated drummer. I don’t think I ever saw any hint of showmanship from him, but he played his bass flawlessly, and that is all you can ask. John McVie is the guy that likes to stay in the background. These guys are in their late 60’s, and they still sound incredible. The rhythm section of this band is awesome. The crowd roars. When the music starts you get a feeling why this band has remained so popular. The lights dim and we see the shadows of band members entering the stage. All glowing love-fests proclaiming Fleetwood Mac as the next best thing since sliced bread, with nary a whisper of negativity. I also read reviews of many of the recent shows. This gave me time to Google the setlist as I always do before a concert. By Axl Rose standards, they were 2 hours early. The band was not on time, but only 20 minutes or so behind schedule. My wife and I were early, so we got to our seats before the show started. It became one of my guilty pleasures, and my wife loves them, so this is a bonus.įast forward to February 4 2015. I wasn’t exactly going to cruise down main street with Fleetwood Mac blasting out the T-tops, but I did start to enjoy it. WTF is that crap? It sounded like the love child of ABBA and The Eagles! After a while the band grew on me. In the early 90’s, one of my buddies took out whatever hair band CD was in the player and put in Fleetwood Mac Rumours.
