Touchee....
BUT, I can tell you that these days, the companies and the ship's captain avoid bad weather like the plague. My cruise only happens Dec- April, because they go out of elsewhere during hurricane season. And we're actually missing our port today(Norwegian's private island, Harvest Caye) because even though it's a beautiful day, they say it's too windy to safely dock.

I'm strong as an ox. I've had the Covids twice, and was asymptomatic both times. I ain't a scared. Plus I got Covid and flu shots about 4 weeks ago, just because of the cruise.

Am I the only one that can’t stand the tribute bands? Almost every one I’ve ever listened to does everything possible to take what it is I love about Fleetwood Mac live performances. They essentially play the album. The arrangements are almost exclusively redundant of the albums. The phoniness and lack of spontaneity just kills any vibe. I’d rather just listen to Rumours or Mirage. I also find the ones that have everyone dressing in costumes like the band members to be horribly cringeworthy. You’ll have a Christine “lookalike” barely playing the keys and some guy in the background carrying the workload. I suppose that makes it super realistic to the modern era Fleetwood Mac…
When a FM cover band goes back to the refrain “you can go your own way…you can call it another lonely day” during the GYOW solo (the same way the album version does), they’ve lost me. |

I will say I saw a Genesis and Rush cover band.. (small bar) and it was unreal, that's how real it was. They even looked like em.

As in "Present Band" creeps, or not as bad as that?

Of course the spontaneity of the real band we love especially in the hay day of the wild and unpredictable Stevie Nicks. Will she know the words, will she mis her cue, and who can forget her infamous I WANNA BE WITH YOU on the 1987 and 1990 tour. When the Dance came out and beyond, the band almost sounded like a cover band of themselves. The Chain was neutered and everything was so scripted and predictable. I saw them on one of the last dates of the Dance and Lindsey gave the same exact speech he gave for the recording of the Dance video. There was nothing spontaneous, not even talking to the audience. This is why I prefer the Farewell Tour to the Dance. While I loved Lindsey back, the Farewell tour had so many unpredictable moments through the entire show. Give me the drunken, stoned, and high US Festival warts and all. THAT is rock and roll. Or as Stevie would tell her solo audiences during the Wild Heart tour, "they just play until I start." And you know what, each night she started a different time

I think you’re being a bit harsh and miserable. I love them. FM have hardly ever been a spontaneous live band…..even back in the day.
And costumes….wtf? What do you expect? They are cover bands….what do you expect. As with another thread….in the UK we have Rumours of Fleetwood Mac and Fleetwood Bac. And I really enjoyed them both. A slice of FM at a 10th of the cost. FM tribute bands are the future!!!! : )

lol. I didn’t know I’d ruffle so many feathers with my controversial take!! But David, you’ve been a source of so much Fleetwood Mac information for me over the years (even if you never knew it!). I’d never insult you and I’ll forgive you for putting chiffon on and twirling around doing your best Stevie impression while “fake Lindsey” ignores your glares!

I never knew Andrea Doria was a real ship. Just assumed it was made up for the Seinfeld episode.
