duh .... thanks, I was looking around the same time frame as OKC
I had heard Christine rejoined them. It would be a fun concert.
JohnH_in_OKC 10-10-2014, 10:33 PM Sadly, Christine was off key in part of her Today show appearance on Thursday.
It looks like the London Daily Mail reviewer doesn't agree with me: Return of the (Fleetwood) Mac! Christine McVie gives a Perfect performance as band's classic line-up plays together for first time in 16 years on Today show (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2787515/Fleetwood-Mac-s-Christine-McVie-gives-Perfect-performance-band-s-classic-line-plays-time-16-years-Today-show.html)
RadicalModerate 10-10-2014, 10:40 PM Fleetwood Mac . . . in particular Stevie Nicks with all her witchwomaness . . .
was one of my ex-wife's (c. 1987) favorite bands.
I only like the part on one of those albums with the marching band from that college in california.
(I thought it was sort of cool how they combined "rock and roll" with Half-Time Shows)
Now . . . It's [that is, Fleetwood Mac Redux] simply geezers on parade . . .
(sort of like "Saxondale" . . . with a twist)
=) <----(sorry . . . almost forgot the emoticon)
rezman 10-11-2014, 09:34 AM Most folks don't know that Fleetwood Mac was a blues band back in the 60's, long before becoming a mainstream pop band. Back then, Christine Perfect was a keyboardist and vocalist with the band Chicken Shack, before marrying John McVie and later joining Fleetwood Mac. She also did solo work.
I enjoy listening to that early stuff. It has a whole different flavor.... There's a lot of history there that can't be covered here.

Their founder, Peter Green (which, as you say, a lot of folks don't know about as part of their history) is one of the best guitarists around. Also wrote some awesome songs - Black Magic Woman, Green Manalishi (I like Judas Priest's version best), Oh Well. Would've been interesting to see what it would've turned into if he would've stayed...

You're not kidding. Peter Green and John Mayall could sure put on a show....
And dont't forget the late great Bob Welch.

wow no kidding about the ticket prices.
Achilleslastand 10-11-2014, 07:23 PM The cheapest ive seen were around 110 for the nosebleeds. It is a tad expensive but nothing on a level of a Stones or Macca show.

I could've sworn that ticket prices were $61.25 - $201.xx from Chesapeake's site, and those include the nastyhorribleevil fees.
