Last Tuesday, Banker’s Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis hosted legendary rock band Fleetwood Mac for the 12th show of their tour – another sold out show.
The band, back to the original five with the return of Christine McVie after 16 years, reminded the sold out crowd why they were such big fans of the band for such a long time.
The nearly three-hour-long concert was filled with hits from the past as well as hits of the future.
As the lights went out the shouts and applause began. Chimes were heard and then the foot drum played by Mick Fleetwood slowly began to play. Everyone knew what was coming when Lindsey Buckingham started on the guitar, we all knew what song it was, “The Chain,” a hit from their album Rumours.
They followed with several more hits back to back all evening.
Age has nothing on this band as these “youngsters at heart” thrilled the crowd and sounded incredible. They sang, danced, jumped, and moved around the stage as if time had stood still for the past 40 years.
I have been at concerts of artists in their 20s on up and this concert was one of the best, if not at the top.
Stevie Nicks, 66 and Christine McVie, 71, can still belt it out like no one else with their amazing vocal talents.
From Mick Fleetwood’s entertaining antics on the drums during “World Turning” to John McVie’s steadiness on the bass to Lindsey Buckingham’s unbelievable abilities on the guitar all across the stage, the band put on a show to remember.
