Fleetwood Mac returned to Ontario on Tuesday night, performing in concert at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa. The band came on stage at around 8:20 p.m., kicking off the show with a trio of songs from Rumours — “Second Hand News,” “The Chain,” and “Dreams.” Just before starting “Dreams,” Stevie greeted the audience with praise of Canada’s many rivers and castles, which received an enthusiastic response. “We’re happy to be here and the party starts now!
With 10 shows completed, the band has settled into a comfortable set list and stage dialogue. The band played for two and a half hours, performing 23 songs mainly from Fleetwood Mac, Rumours, and Tusk, but also performed a few selections from the band’s less-publicized albums Mirage, Tango in the Night, and Say You Will. Like on previous nights of the tour, Lindsey told the crowd that “there are still chapters to be written” in the Fleetwood Mac story.
Stevie dedicated “Landslide” to Lindsay and Jerry, a special couple in the audience that were getting married. According to Stevie, Mick “fell in love with the couple” before the show.
