Fleetwood Mac performed in concert at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Wednesday night, the first of three remaining shows in the North American tour. “Welcome to the City of Angels!” Stevie exclaimed to LA concert revelers. “Coming back to LA is really special for us, to get to play in our hometown one more time.”
During the show, Stevie reminisced about the past when she and Lindsey moved to Los Angeles to start their music career. She also talked about her wonderful memories of San Francisco. “It was the ’70s in San Francisco, and we were with Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix,” she said. “It was the greatest time of your life.”
Because she lives in Los Angeles, Stevie dedicated “Landslide” to a variety of people. She first mentioned Nigel Lythgoe, producer of television program So You Think You Can Dance, for “single-handedly bringing dance back to the world.” She then thanked her costume designer of 36 years, Margi Kent. “These clothes for the last 36 years have been such a part of who I am and what I do. So Margi, your look’s brilliant, you’re a genius.” Finally, Stevie thanked her and Lindsey’s family and friends who were in the audience.
Fleetwood Mac will close out the North American tour in California, first stopping at San Diego’s Viejas Arena on Friday night and wrapping up the tour at Sacramento’s Sleep Train Arena on Saturday. By the end of the tour, Fleetwood Mac will have performed 46 of the 48 shows scheduled in the US and Canada. (Concert promoter Live Nation canceled Fleetwood Mac shows in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and Montréal, Quebec, allegedly because of scheduling conflicts.)
