    Fleetwood Mac at Wells Fargo Center: What you missed, with photos and set list

    [slideshow_deploy id=’22821′]

    PHILADELPHIA — Fleetwood Mac returned to Philadelphia Wednesday night, touring together as a full band for the first time in 16 years.

    Christine McVie re-joined band mates Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks for their On With The Show tour.

    The crowd at the Wells Fargo Center was excited to hear the multi-Grammy Award®-winning band perform together once again, and while nearly everyone was standing as the band took the stage, Christine McVie received a special welcome from not only the concert-goers, but each band member throughout the night.

    WHAT YOU MISSED

    • Singer-songwriter and vocalist Christine McVie’s return to Fleetwood Mac after retiring from the band following The Dance tour in the late ’90s. The crowd gave her an overwhelming welcome when she performed the second song of the show, “You Make Loving Fun,” and despite a 15-year absence from the stage, her warm vocals really shined in “Little Lies.”
    • The distinctive voice of Stevie Nicks isn’t what it used to be, but that’s not to say it’s a bad thing; it’s just different. At 66 years old, she stills delivers powerful performances in “Seven Wonders,” “Gold Dust Woman” and “Silver Springs.” The simplicity of “Landslide,” with Nicks joined onstage by guitarist Lindsey Buckingham, was almost haunting with her raspy voice.
    • While it was definitely Christine McVie’s night, guitarist Lindsey Buckingham stole the show. His solos, “Big Love” and “Never Going Back Again,” were full of energy, and it was entrancing to watch his finger-picking throughout the night. But Buckingham seemed to mesmerize the crowd with his guitar solo in the 9-minute long “I’m So Afraid” and belted out the lyrics with such a strong voice you couldn’t help but stop and just take it all in.
    • The band paid homage to McVie’s return by beginning the show with “The Chain,” a rousing song about unbreakable bonds that would’ve had the crowd quickly on their feet if they hadn’t been already.

    NOTES AND MUSINGS

    • Stevie Nicks definitely got into character during “Gold Dust Woman,” seemingly in a trance as she slowly danced across the stage. At the end of the song, she raised her arms like a bird spreading its wings, showing her silhouette through her shimmering gold shawl as the spotlight shone down on her at center-stage.
    • While it would be nearly impossible to replicate the high-intensity, full-volumed “Tusk” without the benefit of the USC Marching Band playing alongside Fleetwood Mac, Lindsey Buckingham led the group in a pretty energizing version of the song. The group wasn’t remiss about tipping their caps to the marching band however, as videos of the tuba-carrying and trumpet-toting collegiate band played on the large screen behind them.
    • Drummer Mick Fleetwood couldn’t stop smiling all night long, and seemed as happy to be onstage as a kid in a candy store. He really impressed concert-goers as he performed the majority of his drum solo during “World Turning” with his eyes closed.
    • The entire band put their all into “Go Your Own Way,” the last song before a duo of encores. Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks really worked the stage, and the crowd absolutely loved it.

    Lindsey Buckingham on Fleetwood Mac’s new album plans

    Extending their tour into 2015 won’t deter Fleetwood Mac from recording what might become their first album in almost three decades of new songs composed by Lindsey Buckingham, Christine McVie and Stevie Nicks.

    During a telephone conversation last week, Buckingham said McVie had presented him with demos of her new compositions. “Piano and voice,” he said. He brought them back to his studio in Los Angeles. With McVie’s approval, he added, “I took massive liberties with them.”

    Nicks was “otherwise engaged. A running commentary these days,” he said, perhaps referring to preparations for her exhibition of her self-portrait photography now ongoing at the Morrison Hotel galleries in Los Angeles and New York as well as the release last week of 24 Karat Gold: Songs from the Vault, her album of new versions of old, mostly unfamiliar compositions. “Christine and I were able to concentrate on each other,” Buckingham said. “We were exploring some new turf. That became enlightening to me.”

    With Christine McVie back in the band for the first time in 16 years, Fleetwood Mac will be on the road through next March. “We never envisioned finishing the album in the short term,” he said. “We set it aside. Stevie will come in and participate. I have material I had been working on. There’s no danger that it will slip between the tracks. It’s too profound to.”

    Buckingham hinted the band might tour behind new material. The current “On With The Show” concert tour features only songs from Fleetwood Mac’s hit-making era from 1975 through 1987’s Tango in the Night, the last album to feature Buckingham, McVie and Nicks with drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie.

    “Once we finish it,” Buckingham said, “we can think about going out and trying something new.”

    As for the vibe now among the quintet with Christine McVie back on board, he said, “It’s a very interesting thing when someone who helped to define the interaction leaves for that amount of time. You don’t know how it’s going to play out. But this something that feels really good. It feels really circular.”

  • REVIEW: Fully intact Fleetwood Mac takes crowd to paradise

    REVIEW: Fully intact Fleetwood Mac takes crowd to paradise

    After not touring with Fleetwood Mac for 16 years, Christine McVie greets the Consol Energy Center crowd after their concert’s second song, “You Make Loving Fun,” which she wrote for the “Rumours” album.

    “Sweet, wonderful you.”

    (Photo: John Heller / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)
    (Photo: John Heller / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)

    They were the first three words we clearly heard from Christine McVie Tuesday night at Consol Energy Center, opening the second song, “You Make Loving Fun,” and it got the ecstatic greeting you would expect from the packed house.

    It was the first time we’ve heard that voice here since September 1997 (at Star Lake), a year before Ms. McVie left the group after 27 years due to her fear of flying. Now, at last, she’s back on board and the band saluted that by hitting the stage with a rousing version of “The Chain,” a rocker about unbreakable bonds.

    “Welcome, Pittsburgh!” Stevie Nicks shouted. “And welcome back, Chris! She hasn’t told us what she’s been doing the last 16 years, but I’m sure she will. … The story will come out at some point.”

    Ms. McVie’s extended absence left Ms. Nicks alone with the boys — singer-guitarist/ex-flame Lindsey Buckingham, drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie (Ms. McVie’s ex) — and also left a number of the band’s classic hits out of the set list. Of course, with Fleetwood Mac, there were plenty left to fill a two-plus hour show, but it sure was nice to see the revival of “You Make Loving Fun,” “Say You Love Me,” “Over My Head” and others.

    Ms. McVie, one of three Brits in the bunch, is known for her warm, smoky vocals, to go with the raspy, husky ones of Ms. Nicks. At 71 and 66, respectively, they don’t sound like they did on the records, which is to be expected, but there’s still so much beauty, melody and character in those voices.

    Ms. Nicks’ “Rhiannon,” for instance, is rough around the edges, but more haunting than ever and, clad in black with her flowing shawl, she remains just as bewitching. “Dreams” was a gem, as was “Seven Wonders,” which she dedicated to a character in “American Horror Story.” She only got better as the show went on, soaring to the rafters on “Landslide,” “Gypsy” and “Gold Dust Woman,” a show-stopper with tortured wails and a witchy dance in sparkly golden shawl.

    Ms. McVie hasn’t worked that vocal muscle as much over the years, and it showed, but her songs do call more for a simple purity of tone that she was able to muster. Three backup singers in the shadows added some extra heft to the harmonies. (There were also two backing musicians, and a percussionist hidden behind Mr. Fleetwood.)

    Lindsey? My goodness. At 65, he’s still a kid, still the energy force in the band, with blazing chops and a voice that can cut through a fog. He ran wild on the percussive romp of “Tusk” (with the USC Marching Band on the screen) and was practically pogoing as he blew through “Second Hand News.” Once again, he sent them all off for “Big Love,” his passionate exercise in acoustic speed metal, did magical finger-picking on “Never Going Back Again” and all but ripped off the strings on the maniacal “I’m So Afraid” solo.

    He introduced “I Know I’m Not Wrong” saying, “Fleetwood Mac is a group that continues to evolve, continues to prevail, through the adversity and the good times, especially now with the return of beautiful Christine. We have begun a beautiful new chapter in the history of Fleetwood Mac.”

    For now, this chapter is infusing new energy into a bottomless catalog of classic songs, romantically entangled hits that truly hit home with adoring fans raised on ’70s radio.

    As usual, they were generous with them, going well beyond the two-hour mark and powering the climax with the likes of a knock-out “Go Your Own Way,” a percussive “World Turning” with Mr. Fleetwood’s drum insanity and celebratory “Don’t Stop.”

    And let’s hope they don’t, because these five amazing musicians, who somehow found each other across an ocean and a continent, still have the ability to take us to paradise.

    REVIEW: Return of McVie gives Fleetwood Mac show a nostalgic boost

    A reunited Fleetwood Mac performed at the CONSOL Energy Center in Pittsburgh on Tuesday night

    [slideshow_deploy id=’22821′]

    Watching Fleetwood Mac on Tuesday night at Consol Energy Center felt like a high school reunion. Christine McVie — after a 16-year absence — rejoined her former bandmates, providing her unique voice to songs from the 1970s and ‘80s that she helped to define.

    McVie joined Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham and other band members for a 2 1⁄2-hour “One With the Show” tour stop. McVie, a British singer and songwriter, filled the void that had been left in Fleetwood Mac for the past decade and a half.

    The audience gave McVie a warm ovation, and it got to hear some Fleetwood Mac hits the band just couldn’t do without her, like “Everywhere,” “Say You Love Me” and “You Make Loving Fun.” The added songs eliminated some of those Nicks’ solos that had filled much of the setlist on recent tours.

    Both McVie and Nicks, 60-something blonde beauties, still look glamorous and sound great, and their voices have not changed much. Both still have that highly distinctive and opposing sound.

    Nicks still does her trademark shtick, as she stretches out her arms and twirls during “Gypsy.” At other points in the show, she wore a black magic hat and a glittery gold shawl. Nicks thumped her tambourine, with streaming pieces of decorative fabric, as McVie shook her maracas and played the piano.

    Nicks also let the crowd in on some background stories about the origins of the songs and Fleetwood Mac’s history.

    With his guitar, Buckingham tore through songs like “Big Love” and “I’m So Afraid” with an in-your-face intensity that left him breathless, but energized the audience.

    Stevie dedicated “Landslide” to Margaret, a woman whose family she befriended in Australia. Stevie called Margaret a “second Mom” for Margaret’s maternal ways. “She gets very upset when I don’t write or call her.” Margaret’s granddaughter Emily was in the audience to hear the dedication.

  • Fleetwood Mac takes over Rockefeller plaza, announce new concert dates

    Fleetwood Mac takes over Rockefeller plaza, announce new concert dates

    Dreams come true! Fleetwood Mac take over TODAY plaza and announce new 2015 concert dates

    Fleetwood Mac’s Christine McVie knows that no matter what her lyrics say, you can break the chain: Not only did she leave her longtime band for 16 years, she literally busted a chain bracelet Stevie Nicks gave her! But, as McVie pointed out on the TODAY plaza ahead of the band’s performance Thursday, everything can be mended.

    “I had somebody tie it on,” she explained, pointing out the repaired bracelet on camera. “It really means the chain is never going to break again.”

    Music to the ears of Fleetwood Mac fans, who are delighting in the return of the band’s classic lineup now that McVie has returned to join Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, her ex-husband John McVie and Mick Fleetwood in the studio and on the road.

    “It’s hard to really believe that she actually ever left,” said Nicks, prior to the band’s performances of “Little Lies,” “Gypsy,” “Go Your Own Way,” and “The Chain.” “It’s almost like the 16 years that she was gone didn’t exist.”

    And it turns out the band are harmonizing better than ever on the road, so much so that Fleetwood had a special announcement for the throngs on the plaza: More concert dates!

    The band, which also gave a special interview on TODAY Wednesday, is adding 28 more shows to their already-scheduled 39-city “On With the Show” tour. The tour’s second leg is set to begin on Jan. 16 in St. Paul, Minnesota.

    Most tickets will go on sale starting Oct. 20, but a limited number will be up for grabs for American Express cardholders starting Oct. 13.
