The Fleetwood Mac concert in Philly was great! The band members are looking very good – older of course, but in great shape and they played phenomenally. They’re not promoting a particular album, so they just played a bunch of favorites and had fun with it. They opened with “Monday Morning” which was a nice surprise – and very fitting considering that was the 1st track of the 1st FM album (remember albums?) that Stevie & Lindsay appeared on. They played many, many of my favorites, so I was a happy camper. There was such a great energy in the arena, it was really a lot of fun. Everyone, and I mean everyone, sang along with “Landslide”. Very cool. Lindsay played some awesome guitar solos (“blistering” was the word my husband used, he was pretty impressed!), and Stevie’s voice was clear and strong and mesmerizing. Mick Fleetwood was his usual wild and mischievous self on the drums, and John McVie pretty much stayed in the shadows as his style, but he played rock solid bass through the whole show. The supporting musicians and vocalists complemented the band to perfection. It’s now the next day, and I’m still smiling!

One thing to note – Lindsay mentioned that they’re not promoting an album – yet…. He also said at the concert close “We WILL see you again!” I’m hoping these comments mean that the magic that is Fleetwood Mac will still go on beyond this “Unleashed” tour, and hopefully some new material or perhaps a live recording of the concerts will be forthcoming.

If you have a chance to see this Fleetwood Mac tour, you’re in for a treat. This show was worth every penny!

WELCOME PHILADELPHIA!!!!!!.......Is what Stevie said after they sung The Chain. The fans cheered back with excitement. This was one of the best Mac shows I have ever seen. The set list is perfect this time around. All the songs sounded fresh and new. Stevie sounded great on Sara. Gold Dust Women took us all to another place. One of her best moments on stage. Her and Lindsey were having a great time kidding around with each other towards the end of the show. They are so cute together. It was great to hear them do Say That You Love Me and Don't Stop. Storms was perfect and nice to hear live for the first time. Stand Back was great. She did a long twirl across the stage. Silver Springs ended the the show and they all thanked us for coming and once again Stevie said "Thank you Philadelphia PA!!! Her and Mick walked off the stage together. Thank you Fleetwood Mac for a great concert. Please come back to see us soon.

This was my third show of the tour and it just seems to get better and better. Of course, my seats got better and better, too. I was third row, center. Stevie was about 20 feet away and amazing as usual. This was the first show after a short break in the tour and they didn't miss a beat. Lindsay's guitar playing has always astounded me, but, when it's 20 feet away, it's just unbelieveable! All the great songs, "Sara", "Gypsy", "Monday Morning", ect, ect! A word to anyone attending any future shows, get your snacks, use the restroom, before the show, because there is not ONE minute you can miss! The band rocked and the crowd loved it! I gave something to one of the road crew for Stevie, thanking her for her work with the men and women at Walter Reed MC. I hope she got it! Rock on and and come back soon! Like Mick said, "The Mac Is Back!!!!" And with a vengence!

THIS SHOW WAS EXCELLENT!

STEVIE'S VOICE WAS JUST BEAUTIFUL, I ACTUALLY CLOSED MY EYES AND THOUGHT WOW SHE SOUNDS YOUNGER ALL THE TIME!!! SHE IS PERFECTION, A LEDGEND, MAGICAL TALENT THAT ONLY COMES THIS WAY ONCE.

LINDSAY'S VOICE WAS VIBRANT AND STRONG, ROCKING THE HOUSE DOWN! TOGETHER THEY SHOWED US THEIR VOCAL BLEND IS ONE OF A KIND SOUND, AND THE SONGS WERE JUST SO ENERGETIC! STEVIE TWIRLING AND DANCING, HAD THE YOUNG MEN'S TONGUES WAGGING
FOR SURE, THE PAID HER MANY COMPLIMENTS DURING THE CONCERT, IT WAS FUN TO LISTEN TO THE YOUNGER PEOPLE'S OPINIONS.

IT GOES TO SHOW FM WILL STAND THE TESTS OF TIME, AS THEY ALWAY HAVE.

MIC'S DRUMS, ARE ONE OF A KIND SOUND, THEY ALWAYS HAVE BEEN, HE'S ONE OF THE BEST IF NOT THE BEST. WHILE JOHN MCVIE, PLAYED THE BASS THAT IS SO CRUCIAL TO FLEETWOOD MAC'S SOUND, HE JUST KEEP US GROOVING WITH EACH SONG.

I KNOW WITHOUT CHRISTINE IT MAY NEVER SEEM THE SAME,BUT I HAVE TO TELL YOU STEVIE'S VOCALS, SURE DID COME ACROSS BEAUTIFUL AND JUST AS GOOD.

EXCELLENT!!!!
