Reunited Fleetwood Mac Takes Rexall On Nostalgia Tour

Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac and perform at Rexall Place in Edmonton Alta.

We can imagine the conversation:


"Hey, Chris, you know that Mick reunion tour that is not to be made part of $ 68,000,000 -.? US"

"No way".

"Way! And we want to do it again. With you we cannot duplicate that. The fans are asking for it. Only you would sing lead on four, maybe five songs. Stand behind their keyboards for the rest of the time. Come on, all for one and one for all! Split five ways.'ll be prepared for life. "


"(Silva) OK - as long as we're not doing this for the money."

"Ha ha! You got it!"

High ticket prices are the main complaint that enters the Fleetwood Mac tour nostalgia Rexall Place Saturday night - and everyone should shut up because it is well spent for stealing music from the internet. Quid pro quo, Clarice, quid pro quo.

What we got for our money was a treat for Baby Boomers of all ages: the magic line-up (more or less) responsible for some of the seminal songs of an entire generation: Woman witch mojo Stevie Nicks the incredible magic of Lindsey Buckingham's guitar, the competent rhythm section John McVie and drummer Mick Fleetwood, and finally, the missing high sweet harmonies reluctant Christine McVie, for the first time in 16 years. That chemical is uncommon in any rock band.

Chain - one of the many songs that causes seizures incontinent nostalgia just hear a couple of notes - was the first step in Maccian Memory Lane. No new album to get in the way of the charts without stopping, much of the show seemed designed to show the gifts of their independent stars from each other, except for the supporting roles. You know, like the Eagles. Among several impressive feats of prowess guitaring, shining moment was his turn Buckingham solo Never back again, while Nicks was impeccable, perfectly raspy scarfily in his signature ballad Landslide. For all the guys in the crowd who had been waiting only inevitable battery Mick was saved by World Turning, in the encore. And Christine is the point of final look, alone at his piano for Songbird.

Rumors that huge 1977 album without which probably would not even be here, provided that the main aim of the devotion of the fan on Saturday night. The McVie wrote-and-done You Make Loving Fun arrived early, showing so absent band member in reasonable shape, with a voice that only became stronger as the show ended. Other highlights of this great album included Dreams - Stevie another signature song - along with Second Hand News (another song Lindsey) Gold Dust Woman and later, with another epic guitar solo. The capper of the night was do not Stop, after which, ironically, he stopped short. It's easy to tell who wrote what, in fact, some very different songs - contrast Nicks' Gyspy with Buckingham Big Love - it's hard to believe it's the same band. Maybe that's what made it so special.

From the incomplete experience Fleetwood Mac in 2013 in this same building, two groups of ex-boyfriends were on stage here at the most famous rock 'n' roll love quadrangle of all time; everyone seemed to be getting over his advanced maturity. As your paper Stevie woman said, "She seems happy to be back." Lindsey called this meeting proper "deep, fertile and beautiful new chapter" in the history of the band.

If only! It was pretty good, not transcendent, not special or one-of-a-kind, such as concerts go; more like just another concert. Another concert of Fleetwood Mac, of course. They derive no additional necessary stops to deliver the results we all know and love. The sound was full, and little is left to chance, with two supporting musicians and three singers more, but it seemed like there was something missing. Do you think it could have arisen by at least one band for Tusk, rather than canned horns, but what are you going to do? If you do not love them now, you never will again.
