The return to the line-up of McVie’s ex-wife, singer and keyboardist Christine, 72, who parted ways with Fleetwood Mac in 1998 and was retired from the music business, has been described by guitarist Lindsey Buckingham as “really beautiful”. Buckingham also quit the band for 16 years from 1987 to 2003.

If it wasn't Lindsey, I wonder who that guy was that produced and sang on the SYW album and tour along with Stevie,Mick and John?

They're using 2003 as the point where he returned for Say You Will and tour. But he returned for The Dance so 1987-1997 is the correct time period.

I'm so excited that they're changing anything at all. Can't wait to find out what the songs are.

Since these are substitutions, and not additions or deletions, there's no reason to assume it's one per writer. I wouldn't be surprised if both Sara and Stand Back return to the set.

Fleetwood Mac’s John McVie: This might be my final tour

TWO years after pulling the pin on their 2013 Australian tour following bass player John McVie’s cancer diagnosis, Fleetwood Mac’s most famous and most successful line-up landed in Sydney this week ahead of what McVie has indicated might be his last tour with the band that bears his name.

Founding member Mick Fleetwood, 68, was respectful when he spoke of McVie’s recent health crisis during a sound check at Allphones Arena yesterday.

“I raised a toast the other night with Christine (McVie). He’s well as well, absolutely (in) tip top health and that’s pivotal. And outside of it, it’s great to be here and playing.

“It’s a revisitation,” Fleetwood enthused of his 69-year-old creative partner with whom he founded the band in 1963.

“John’s very practical. He didn’t get into it (cancer talk) one way or the other. I’m an old drama queen but John just said, ‘OK, let’s get it fixed’ and that was that. Never heard any more about it and it was fixed, and we’ve been on the road ever since.”

In May, McVie said his playing days would soon be at an end: “How much longer can the Mac be a working band? Not much longer, for me anyway. It’s not the music. It’s the peripherals, the travelling. Mick will go on until they put him up against a wall and shoot him.”

The return to the line-up of McVie’s ex-wife, singer and keyboardist Christine, 72, who parted ways with Fleetwood Mac in 1998 and was retired from the music business, has been described by guitarist Lindsey Buckingham as “really beautiful”. Buckingham also quit the band for 16 years from 1987 to 2003.

“(Christine) just sort of woke up and said, ‘I’m not done. I want to be more alive’,” Fleetwood said.

Fleetwood acknowledges relations within the band, which includes three
ex- couples — Buckingham, 66, and singer/songwriter Stevie Nicks, 67, the McVies and Fleetwood and Nicks — are still fiery 40 years after the most famous Mac five first collaborated in 1975.

“I don’t think Lindsey and Stevie will ever not be able to suppress various emotive buttons that exist. One lives in hope, as I think they do,” he said of the former lovers, who started working together at 16.

FANS OF ‘THE MAC’ SHOULD NOT MISS THIS TRIBUTE SHOW

“Having Chris back is hugely amazing. I think Stevie’s loving it and Chris is, too.

Touring the world was “sort of” easier today, added Fleetwood, whose battle with cocaine addiction is the stuff of rock legend. (He once estimated that, laid end to end, the cocaine he consumed during his life would stretch seven miles).

‘‘Those, looking back on it, were sort of a bit harder. Harder to juggle feeling good and being professional. Those days are long gone.’’

Fleetwood says this time there will be only just the occasional “little jug” of wine during this tour.

The band plays Allphones Arena on October 22, 24 and 25.

[Stevie's right. The "goodbye tour" will be headlined as such. Moolah!]

Fleetwood Mac in Sydney

They're one of the world's most successful bands, Fleetwood Mac.

And they have stood the test of time first forming 48 years ago.

They're touring the country at the moment with the same line up that produced one of the biggest selling albums of all time, Rumours.

The tour sees Christine McVie back in the band after a 17 year semi-retirement alongside Stevie Nicks, Mick Fleetwood, Lindsey Buckingham and John McVie.

The band's drummer and founding member Mick Fleetwood told 702 ABC Sydney Breakfast presenter Robbie Buck that it's great to be back on the road.

"It's not got old. We've been on the road now with Christine for many many months all over the world and it is truly amazing seeing this woman return."

Mick Fleetwood said the tour wouldn't be the last time the public would be hearing from the band.

"This is not goodbye. Stevie (Nicks) mentioned to me the other night saying, 'this can't be the goodbye tour because no one said that it was,'" he said.

That wasn't the actual man. It was just the essence of him, what scholars like to call: Eau de Buck.

Holy **** and Think About Me

Ah, I really wish they'd played Sara in Europe. Was looking forward to hearing it and Seven Wonders but that was also dropped by the time they reached Dublin.

Anyway, I really hope John doesn't leave the band. It just wouldn't be the same

MoonSister75 · #27 10-22-2015, 03:18 AM

Changes to to set list! That's so exciting (and I'm just a teeny bit envious) . I can't wait to hear what the other 2 songs are. Wishing all the Sydney fans much fun for tonight
