Fleetwood Mac: Classic or Dud

lmfao i had no idea "little lies" was by fleetwood fucking mac until today, wtf i though that was tiffany or smthn

Excellent performance. This reissue is moving towards essential territory now, sadly.

The arrangement boasts too many off-kilter filigrees (those breathy "close my close my close my eyes" harmonies, the synthesized chimes) to confuse it for Tiffany!

Well it's not the remasters of Mirage and Tango in the Night that we've been waiting for, but how about a Rumours 4-CD/1-DVD/1-LP Super Deluxe Edition and, amazingly enough, a separate 3-CD version for people who already own the 2004 2-CD reissue?

i really wish this deluxe edition trend would stop

i guess that you tube studio footage comes from an unreleased doc that is in the set! woo hop!! (my bank account is a deluxe box set sieve, sad but true)

that would be swell, except

Price Range
£88.00 - £137.50

D:

I was fretting over that at lunchtime, and could only conclude that even at £137.50 this still has to be done.

it is great testament to my love of them that i'm torn on whether or not to exceed my usual ticket price limit by um 1000%, but i think i'll end up coming out on the 'no' side.

Hm, looking at it that way ... my mistake may be in using Arsenal tickets as a reference point.

tempted...!

jesus. i'd love to. i'd so love to. but that's just too expensive for my budget.

But they may never tour again! Except they probably will. But they may lose an essential member! Except they already have. I'm going, but if I were to make a recommendation, I would say just catch Lindsey solo.

How much did Lindsey solo cost? What kind of venue?

If Christine was involved I'd probably bite the bullet and accept my summer of eating nothing but Tesco Value beans.

xpost I didn't pay, but I know it was much less than seeing the Mac in an arena, and he played/plays pretty small rooms.

Is anybody else trying for these? I'm having no luck. Going to the secondary £200+ sites is as step too far, even for them.

The security check things are getting too difficult as well - I get the words wrong half the time.

I went via O2 site and got some. This was dead on 9am though.

mmmmofo

They were amazing last time they came over here …

that makes me feel much better

o so well i guess i'm seeing fleetwood mac in paris. (i bought it RIGHT NOW so perhaps you could too, ismael: http://www.livenation.co.uk/artist/fleetwood-mac-tickets?c=micro_site_fleetwood_080213 )

Reissue Mirage and Ta-ahhn-GOOOOOO already!

Thanks for the tip Merdey - it was showing as *one* ticket left, but had gone by the time I got through. Downside - no fm; upside - I may remain married.

ah bad luck. lucky me, having no one to alienate but my bank account.

not quite sure what my logic is whereby £140 + a £2 round trip is less affordable than £64 + whatever a round trip to Paris will cost.

I could've had seats in the 6th row for the Cleveland show but was not willing to drop $149.50 a seat.

ISMAEL. THIRD LONDON DATE ANNOUNCED http://www.livenation.co.uk/artist/fleetwood-mac-tickets?c=twit_ln_fleetwoodmac_080213

Okay wtf is this, dripping out dates over the day of sale? Presumably the gap days are going to get filled now too.

London prices were ridiculous, so have booked for Antwerp- 70 euro. OMG.

seriously not even worth it without christine

Done it. Merdey, I am in your debt.

HOORAY. good luck with yr marriage.

i've heard some rumours that chat with christine is still ongoing.

:O really?? damn. i'll believe it when it happens tho

if not they should at least bring in a ringer. maybe those chumps who replaced lindsey can do a christine impersonation between them.

guessing sitting on the top tier at the o2 would feel nearly as frustrating and out of things as not being there at all?

hey this band just got a 10.0 on pfork

why do u think we're paying big buxxx 2 c them jeez.

the warning that the top tier of the o2 may not be suitable for those with vertigo made it sound kinda cool actually.

lol at whiney goin in on twitter
"Websites like Pitchfork should be built to destroy Fleetwod Mac, not enforce them."

just done a GIS and it does look p cool. maybe for watching sport rather than fleetwood mac for 85 quid tho?

just watched the VH1 Classic Albums on Rumors...man, felt bad for John McVie, he still seemed haunted by what happened, like some Vietnam vet with PTSD

I would say just catch Lindsey solo

and, um, stevie solo. the dave grohl sound city live shindig was totally worth sitting thru for stevie's headlining set (and a few other wonderful moments).

xp yeah mcvie seems like a dude with regrets on that doc. oh well, he can probably drown his sorrows on his bed made out of diamonds.

he and Mick live on neighbouring Hawaiian islands, he can probably console himself somehow.

Pumped that this rare hard to find record is finally back in print! Can't wait to hear what the hype is about, is it streaming anywhere?

oh i'm sure he's fine, it was just kinda weird in that doc how sad he seemed, but i think that was the first classic albums or close to it, so the stuff was a lot more recent i guess
