Don't forget that Christine McVie (then Perfect) started out in the blues band Chicken Shack.

Someone still has their panties in a twist over Lindsey Buckingham. I have love for both Lindsey and the Mac. Lindsey wants to do his thing. Let him. The Mac wants to do their thing. Let them. I highly doubt you have any fucking talent other than being a cynical asshole,

Still butthurt after 5 months I see, but you probably enjoy having butthurt.

Olen Zephier you know his life sucks. W. Bishop seethes with envy and bitterness. Odd he is following the Mac around when he should be washing Lindsey B panties out.

Over the decades Fleetwood Mac have had countless line ups. Lindsay left and then rejoined, Christine left and said she'd never return, but did, Stevie left and came back... This is classic Fleetwood Mac. Nobody has their knickers in a twist because Peter Green isn't performing his own song... Stevie is right, it's a Fleetwood Mac song (covered by Carlos Santana and others...) Lindsay Buckingham is a great singer, songwriter and guitarist but the music goes on.... Buckingham had nothing to do with Black Magic Woman. It was written by Peter Green in 1968 before Lindsay even joined the band. Anyone who thinks Fleetwood Mac can't carry on without him should ask "Can they still play Albatross?".

"duh its a downer of a song but they girls turned it into a Taylor Swiftesque anthem of overcoming the white man

I only like how they sound on this. I'm not looking for or caring about anything political about this. Mellow the ef out. LOL

nobodys trying to politicize this, the song is about a guy infatuated with a naughty girl and FM turned it into a song that might just cause a conga line to form in the audience, its shite. its something Taylor does, who wants to be Taylor when you can be Stevie?

He’s just giving his opinion ... holy crap I don’t love it either but don’t be idiots about it.

Its a fuckin abortion she can longer sing

You F'coffee she seldom was a good singer, with the nazalgoat thing, but she is also 70+

@@extraordinaryacoustics8424 In the 70s and 80s Stevie Nicks was a great vocalist. This is a good performance. You just dont like her.

@@nolanwinter4711 ROTFLMAO! You have no freaking idea what you’re talking about. But you’re running your fingers mad. Anybody who knows me knows I adore her but I’m also realistic and compare that to Rhiannon in the 70s. Yes she’s 70 years old she looks damn good still, and still writes a great song. She put up with Lindsey’s shit for years, a consumate consummate professional. That doesn’t mean I’m going To put on Rose colored glasses. I also remember the benefit that she and Don Henley did For the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. For the first Few minutes she was so off and her voice so sore that she had to go I’ll stage and get some Chloraseptic. She did and sang beautifully the rest of the night. For the first soak tour And the performance at the Wiltern Theater where she finally got to do Rhiannon as a piano Ballad the way she wrote it, And in a long pregnant pause some ass Interrupted by screaming out “Stevie, I’ll never forget you!” Without missing a beat, and in a calm cold deadpan, she replied “I’ll never forget you either.” So going back to what I actually said instead of the words you tried to put in my mouth, This is a very mediocre performance for her. And if you Could ask her, She wouldn’t hesitate to acknowledge that it wasn’t her best. Finally, just let you know how terribly mistaken you were in your presumption, and hopefully to help you refrain from Having to extract your foot from your mouth again, I had the “Edge of 17” as my wake up music For a couple years. Complements mean a whole lot more When the person receiving them knows that you’re not blowing sunshine up their butt all the time. Are we done with this now?

Amen to that!

He's better than Lindsey Buckingham as well

no, hes having fun playing them, and everyone else is relaxed enough without mr jittery cocaine man there, theyre ALL having fun...its GREAT !!! makes me want to fork out the bucks to GO

duh everybody at the food court at the mall just having fun and everything is unicorn farts and smiles and giggles and thats what blues and rock are all about taking selfies at the mall

Bob Kehoe , who is rating?

That was dog shit!

Lindsey would let her. He didn't like doing pre-75 songs. Everyone thinks he wrote Ojh Well and World Turning, but they were done long before he joined. LOL And it's nice to hear the songs sung and not screeched off-pitch as was his wont.

@@dfwjac Lindsey did write World Turning. Are you thinking of Hynotized?

Totally worth it for the unique setlist. It was awesome to hear some older blues-era FM tunes live! Highly recommend going!

Watch the Oh Well performance from Indianapolis. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sKqIhciHu-DSm4U.html

Campbell is better than Buckingham though.

@@mikerennie2024 by far. Experienced him for the first time the other night and his vibe is on another level.

Martin Kirkwood Don’t worry at all, just saw them in Louisville 2 days ago. Concert was AMAZING, they’re doing well without him. Have fun!!

Needn't have worried. :-)

@@dfwjac Thanks for the reassurance. It's a long way from London England to the Tacoma Dome Washington. I'm visiting friends but when I saw Fleetwood Mac were playing just down the road when I happen to be on that side of the ocean I thought "Hey this has got to be a cool gig to see and hear when I'm over there..."

"The stressmaker LB" ? That's just a myth created by people who don't understand the passionate, creative souls like Lindsey Buckingham. The real troublemaker in Fleetwood Mac is Stevie Nicks who betrayed the person who helped her into Fleetwood Mac and turned her simple songs into golden hits.

@@darkness_of_the_night And how do you know that

yeah, it sounds just like the "Beat It in major key" video on KZfaq. all fluffy and fun and upbeat and fuzzy wuzzy

no, they weren't. if you listen to the rough cuts, most of them sound bland. Christine McVey was bored by Dreams. It sucks without Lindseys guitar and harmonies.

duh lets drink some swill american beer from a red plastic cup and have fun and let down our man buns and talk about the newest phone app with FM as our soundtrack

I know I did!

and Carlos Santana.

It's only as good as Carlos Santana....

Well, in my opinion Santana destroyed the song. Nothing is better than the original with Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac

@@elowyn9664 Fast Eddie Clark woulda done it better.

no she doesn't. Live, she's sounded like a plain old goat many times in the past, and in this video she's phoning it in. Sure, Apple made her a special iPhone XI with all the witchy apps they could make, but its still flat

How did they "treat" him? where did you obtain the inside scoop on what happened?? Seems to me like a business decision 80% said yes and 20% said no, majority rules, no one did anything to anyone it's business, lets move on.

Have a read of the new Rolling Stone article, they didn't even tell him he was fired in person and they won't answer his calls! Sure it's a business decision but these are people who have worked and lived together for so many years, you would think they would show him just a tiny bit of respect.

@@fayelaura5033 I initially heard that FM planned this tour a long time ago (including LB) to start i June or July 2018. Shortly before the tour, (a few months, maybe?), LB asked that they postpone the tour to start in November...but not November 2018 but NOVEMBER 2019! The other members couldn't negotiate around their other prearranged engagements and besides, how do you put 4 other band members out on the limb while you've suddenly decided on working on another project! If this is accurate (I wouldn't be surprised from previous documentation from other very valid sources involving LB and his volatile temper), then FM has every right to fire his narcissistic ass. Funny how he originally publicized his lawsuit again FM without his lawyers or the court formally charge them with his petty lawsuit. It's okay...FM can't wait for their day in court.

@@ninakramer276 : They probably didn't have the right to fire him under California law pertaining to partnerships; that might be why Buckingham's complaint was settled out of court so soon. The article in Rolling Stone includes Buckingham's complaint. It's a long, tedious read but not so full of legalese that it cannot be understood. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/lindsey-buckingham-sues-fleetwood-mac-over-dismissal-from-band-736063/

Better than Lindsey ever were

He brings such a bluesy romantic vibe to him, glad I got to see a Heartbreaker live. Dude hasn't aged.

@jett woodward I'm glad they did some Green tributes, I'm more of the younger generation myself, but I think alot of newer fans had no idea who he was till they accredited his work and music, they did him some justice imo.

@jett woodwardI think I remember then referencing Welch's name but I can not remember, the had a lot variety of pre Stevie/Lindsday songs they plays that I lost track with their mixes lol either way, I'm glad they gave the nod to past members.

I guess they are pretty impressed do with Neil Finn's playing laying down some nice rhythm licks.. of course knew can play guitar from the split endz days but still

@Wayne Bishop Well if I am stupid then you are more stupider. There not having completely empty seats and this is amazing. We will see how successful it is after the tour.

Lindsey Buckingham is a great guitarist but is overrated

The original single was made before Danny Kirwan joined the group. However there's a great live version with Peter and Danny on the Live in Boston album. There's also a live version with Danny and Bob Welch here on KZfaq.

Maybe without Lindsey, we'll get more Stevie songs? :)

Aaron/Equus21 I hope so.

Re: Mindset, I've said the following: 1) The guys and gals are either in their 70's or looking at it. Whatever issues with Lindsey obviously came to a head and I think it's more to do than touring and whether he wanted to or not, because he too is touring. After 45-50 years of being so "stuck" with someone, the small things get big and you just decide "It's enough". If Stevie didn't give the okay to move on, Lindsey would still be there. Personally, I think he's as big a pain in the ass as he is a world-class talent. 2) Lindsey didn't want to explore anything outside of his era. This is why songs like these have been obsolete. You can get bored playing the same material night after night and tour after tour regardless of where you move the songs around or how large the crowds are. They band sounds fresh because the material is fresh. I'll be in Charlotte!

stevedrums A “big pain in the ass” who gifted the band their star and used his immense talent to turn them into one of the biggest selling and most enduring rock bands of all time. You might want to quit drinking the Mick Kool-Aid.

I’d rather drink micks cool aid than lindsay’s. Lindsay probably spiked it with roofies. He abused women back in the day right?

The weird thing is, Peter Green wrote Black Magic Woman in 1968 before Buckingham was ever part of the band and before Carlos Santana covered it in 1970. Buckingham made huge contributions to the band but never had anything to do with a lot of their back catalogue and never contributed to "Black Magic Woman."... Can Fleetwood Mac survive without him? It's different but yes they can... They did it for 10 years when he left voluntarily and I hope they keep on playing for years to come...

That's not correct. They did NOT survive after Lindsey's departure. No, they ended up being the opening for Crosby, Stills & Nash in 1994 and part of package with REO Speedwagon and Pat Benetar in 1995. And the 1995 album Time was the first Fleetwood Mac in the band's history not to chart the US Billboard 200! Mick Fleetwood ultimately disbanded Fleetwood Mac in 1996, and when he had done that, he took a job with Lindsey Buckingham who were working on a solo project at the time. ... Not exactly what one would call "surviving" ...

yeah, people need to grow up... no wait most are already old so they should just act their age and be mature not cry babies and throw tantrums because of his departure

Exactly. LB was just an integral part of FM for that period of time. I like how they've morphed over the years. And I think adding Mike Campbell and the other guy made some great additions to an already awesome band.

Darkness of the Night, that is not exactly true. While it is true that Lindsey left, that was prior to the Tango in the Night tour in the 1980s, which was very successful. When the band ended up being an opening act, was after Stevie left too, in the early 1990s.. It is a bit difficult to say that this was due to Lindsey leaving, considering that that he left years prior.

yeah, gee, and the song itself is so uplifting and fun and joyful and cheeseburgers!

Bryan Blake I thought they played better than ever during the last two tours - so maybe some of that Buckingham ego is necessary for his Springsteen-level energy. They sound great on this tour but a little low-energy - which is fine. Nobody can replace a fiery Buckingham guitar.

Besides older pre Stevie, she has always been the star, it's the way it was. Die hards know pre Stevie, but die hards and newer fans know them in the 70s current incarnation.

@@2010mox we have to take into consideration they they're in their 70s, not everybody can be a Rolling Stone or a Bruce.

@@2010mox plus, I think they're designed to be more romantic at this point bc of their following.

we all wish he could but he has a comfortable life now and is very happy and im happy for that

No one has added mystery and beauty to this song like Peter Green did. Epic and unforgettable. As long as he is not there to do it, Mike Campbell is the best guitarist to do it. His playing is really exquisite. And he plays it better than Buckingham ever did. And certainly better then Santana did with his hyped, stressed 'flamingo' version.

No work done when you see her up close you see the signs of aging, still beautiful.

The band regularly performed the song live up to 1974 with Danny Kirwan and Bob Welch.

lol John Stewart got kicked out the of the Kingston Trio for groping the backup singers and Lindsey played with him to annoy Stevie. real true story

The song described is "Gold" by John Stewart. Lindsey and Stevie backed him on his "Bombs Away Dream Babies" album. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fbaam6uUsdbKomg.html www.fleetwoodmac.net/penguin/stewart.htm en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Stewart_(musician) .

what about the other 10 singers and keyboard players

The reason they have a 2nd keyboard player is so Chris doesn’t have to use the 4 keyboard rack, and she can go out front sometimes

@Wayne Bishop, you are obviously misinformed. Peter Green has toured through the 90's and 2000's. He has won several awards for his solo albums. He is highly respected. And he is the guitarists guitarist. The favourite of many of the most famous guitarists in the world.

they do Tell Me All The Things You Do

LB is gone get over it

Thought her voice was flat, but I heard about them doing this song and wanted to hear it. Doesn't matter to me how well they play it, just can't get past the no loyalty. 40 some years, yes they left and came back but always at their own discretion. In my mind this has to be the final tour go round. I saw them after rumors came out and am a fan of their p. Green and Bob Welsh stuff. They had good songs from back then and a few weird tunes as well.
