Fleetwood Mac with Christine back is amazing

seeing Chris for the 1st time has been wonderful, i cannot express. it was absolutely divine. all her wonderful songs that i grew up on, live for the 1st time, for me. there were 1sts not only for me but the Mac themselves......part of the show is like the Tango tour-that-never-was: the album lineup, performing live "Seven Wonders", "Little Lies", "Everywhere" (which was done in 97 too w/ emt).... for my 1st two shows I had the perfect seat where i could see everthing Christine played the on the keyboards + watch her sing, thats hard to do if you see the stage arrangement, but thats where i was, the perfect seat for the ultimate reunion

 

I saw the Tacoma Dome show last week and had a great time.

While the classics are always enjoyable, I especially loved the Tango In The Night material. For just one example, Christine and the entire band sounded stunningly great on "Little Lies".

I also noticed Stevie Nicks seemed a lot more on her game than when I saw them five years ago...her voice sounded better this time out.

????????????????

 

I feel duped seeing them in London last year as it was exactly the same show (thereabouts) as in 2009 but I'm excited to see them again in London next year with Chris...

 

It really is a wonderful show, I just wish they'd add a new tune....they have enough for a new album, try some out!!
They are really on their game, and it was a privilege to see them on Holloween, with John McVie wearing a huge witch hat.
Go on Youtube and check out Stevie doing Gold Dust Woman from this show...she blew us away!

 

We need the lady who speaks jive in Airplane.

 

Like, totally.

 

Chump don't want no help, chump don't get no help.

 

Christine was always the weakest singer in the group. I like her keyboards, but her vocals have always paled in comparison next to Stevie and Lindsey. The thought of her belting out a song now in her 70s is terrifying.

"Buh-leeheeheeheeheev in miracles"
*cringing*

 

I don't see how Buckingham is being disrespectful. His sex comment seems more like a semi putdown of the buying public and the other part seems like he doesn't want her to bail like last time. But yeah, Lindsey's certainly left and come back too.

Christine's always seemed like the secret weapon in FM. Stevie & Lindsey get all the attention yet there's Christine writing a lot of their biggest hits and "some" stability.

 

I've seen them 3 times in the past 5 years, and my last show was with Christine McVie two weeks ago. I have always liked her voice best, over Stevie and Lindsey, despite the fact that she is aging and clearly not as fluid as she once was. Its great to have her back. If there is one member of the band that I struggle with, its Lindsey, and his self indulgent and monotonous monologues, which haven't changed by as much as one word in the past 5 years. The Kosmo Kramer hairdo suits his personality well though. Anyway, Fleetwood Mac are just wonderful now that the full depth of their line-up can be experienced once again. Awesome to have Christine back!

 

Christine is very important to their harmonies, and just her at the piano at the end for Songbird is just such a joy, a wonder that is stunning all these years later. I like her voice very much.

 

I think part of the magic of the latter-day Fleetwood Mac was the blend of Lindsey, Christine & Stevie's voices. That's the best part about having her back, in addition to getting her songs back in the set list.

 

Is there any recent information on John McVie's health status since his cancer diagnosis? I wonder if that contributed to Christine jumping back in, given that "one day" had arrived by virtue of his precarious health situation.

 

I've always liked her voice too. The years with her and Bob Welch were a few of favorite years of Fleetwood Mac besides the Peter Green years.

 

ok. dawg the bridge of You make lovin fun......that was MY FAVORITE PART OF THE ENTIRE SHOW. i was there. right in front of her. it was transcendent. beyond divine. and no pun intended: perfect!

 

I'm here now bans play but no nob

 

I think Christine deserves a bit of credit to be brave enough to come back at the age of 71.

Though Stevie is no spring chicken at 66.

 

i just saw them at the forum on friday....micks kick drum was like it was in my chest and the snare drums sounded like gun shots.....lindsey guitar sounded huge.

the vocals could have been little better soundeding...they sounded a bit too bright and overloud sterile.....

great litghshow! cool backgrounds....terrific setlist.

 

word

 

Is this a joke?

 

Well, this is hard to top:



Christine's great too though.

 

Ok, based on your reactions, I went back and listened to "You Make Loving Fun" for the first time in years. I still feel that her vocals are weak on the album, but I watched a youtube video of it from 'The Dance' performance, and I found her enchanting. She sang it with much more passion and emotion, so I can understand why you (@chewy ) found that part of the show to be magic in person. I don't know why, but I've always found her performance of that song to be kind of flat and dull on 'Rumors,' as if she's just going through the motions. Perhaps that was just her style at the time, sort of an aloofness. I always liked her background harmonizing (and I never said she was a bad singer, just that I found Buckingham and Nicks to be superior).

I should also add that my mother had about 3 cassette tapes in the minivan during the late 80s as she drove me to school, basketball practice, etc.: FM 'Rumors,' The Dirty Dancing Soundtrack, and some horrible Michael Bolton album. So, I probably heard 'Rumors' in its entirety at least 100 times growing up, and I always found McVie's vocals to be the weak link on that album, while I was genuinely engaged by Buckingham's rock passion and Stevie's lovely voice. I got goosebumps the first time I heard her sing "Dreams," there's just so much emotion in her voice, a true vulnerability. I just personally found that McVie's vocals left me cold by comparison. What can I say? Different strokes for different folks.

I will add that I think McVie is a million times better than Michael Bolton or Patrick Swayze.
