There's fairly decent footage where you can sort of see the composition of who's at the stage:

If a zombie apocalypse were to ever occur, northeastern Connecticut would certainly be the safest place to be because most of the people at last nights show barely blinked! We lucked out and got floor seats in the center section, 7th row. This was unprecedented considering casino shoes are near IMPOSSIBLE to get good seats for.

However, my aunt, did not have a floor seat but that didnt stop us. We stealthily snuck by any and all ticket guards and got her to the floor. Wouldn't you know a seat right next to us remained unfilled for the whole show. We were all set!

Now, THE USHERING OF THE GIRLS. Before the lights went down there was NO ONE at the stage. Right as the lights went down, I see to my left a man ushering 5-10 girls to the stage. FYI for future shows. This is the time to go to the stage. None of these girls had tickets. Just go with them! Say you were picked to go up, no one will ever know!

More to come

The group of girls is clearly visible- I wouldn't say they are a group of bimbos, they just seem like a group of enthusiastic teenagers/girls in their early twenties. They guy next to them doesn't seem that impressed does he?
I like the way Stevie offers her tambourine to the audience a la Lindsey with his guitar.
Difficult to tell but the band doesn't seem that dynamic here- rather going through the motions.

Lots of older people where I was. I got a laugh though seeing a guy, who looked like someones grandfather singing along with "Second Hand News". Wasn't real thrilled with the girls next to me talking about the three tenors, Prince and other oddball topics thruout the show.

Ha ha. I always wanted to have a discussion about Prince and the Three Tenors.

The floor sat most of the night.

HOORAY!! That means there were quite a few happy people who could actually see the show, and not just the heads of the tall people in front of them.

Maybe we'll have some more of this common courtesy as the tour proceeds.

Oh I made sure to be standing the entire night. I got no complaints!

[BigAl84]

It's really funny that people are so far out to lunch that they expect people with floor seats to sit all night in an arena concert setting...LOL.

Hi All.Sorry about the delay.

The show was great.I seen Lindsey's girls were dancing up front as always.I could not see what they look like from where I was sitting.I was on the second level section 115.The sound was great but it could be tweaked louder.I always like the sound in this arena.Foxwoods sounds like a echo chamber as Stevie was there.Thank goodness my neighbors were not talkers except a couple people walking by were bellowing out friends names as they spot them across the arena.I did notice the floor was sitting.

Prince and the Three Tenors.What a combo.I like both myself but why were they not chatting about FM.I probably would go Sheeeeeesh to them.

Mac was on track and played like a pro as they always do.Chris sounds great .I did notice they picked up the tempo on Seven Wonders a tad.At the Hartford show it seemed to be alittle slow.

Stevie always sounds great.I missed or did not hear who she dedicate Landslide to.

I think she should dedicate to all of us that had to travel up and down "Snow covered hills" to see the show.LOL........................

I got some photos and vids which I got to sort out and post a couple later.It was a pain in the a$$ to get Stevie,Chris and Lindsey in the same frame since they are spread apart like they are.

After the show I hang around the Casino and walked around and watched people loose and win money for about a hour.

I happen to see Corey Feldman signing autographs in the mall section after his show.

He was there for 1980's weekend .Tiffany and Debbie Gibson were there on Friday night.I would enjoy seeing them.LOL.

The casino was playing all 1980's music on the PA which was nice.

As I was checking the shops out there I found Mick's book there but I'm not going to pay the premium they were charging for.It would be great if Mick could come out and sign some books before the show .Some of the shops were blasting FM music which was great too.

Sorry I did not see you guys that were there.

The trek up to the show was not to bad but on the way home was a different story but I took my time to get home.

Yes, it's only now that Christine is back that I realize how much closer Stevie and Lindsey's mics were when they were a quartet.

Even when Stevie and Lindsey cross the stage, one of them might be by Christine, but not both of them, so you can only get them together during non-musical bits, when they're walking out or taking bows.

Anyway, sounds like you had a good time. Glad you braved the weather.

Yup, only song I have a good pic of the three of them together is Everywhere, since Christine steps out from behind the piano. Although Tusk would probably work too.

Fleetwood Mac brings its full lineup to Mohegan Sun

http://www.myrecordjournal.com/commu...hegan-sun.html

By Jim Pasinski Special to the Record-Journal


It’s been couple of years since the iconic rock band Fleetwood Mac last visited the Mohegan Sun arena, but even longer since all five members performed together in Connecticut. When they made their appearance in 2009 and in 2013, one crucial part was missing from the band, which could turn a good show into an incredible show, and that would be the inclusion of Christine McVie. This time, when Fleetwood Mac played the Mohegan Sun arena Saturday night, they made sure the entire band was present.

As the lights went out, the sound of crickets filled the arena. That was until the thunderous beat of the opener “The Chain” kicked off over 2½ hours of classic rock music that helped shape rock radio over the course of three decades. Christine McVie drew huge applause as she took on the vocals of the 1977 single “You Make Loving Fun.” At center stage stood the immortal Stevie Nicks, dressed all in black and complete with her black scarves and shawl, as she belted out the lyrics to “Rhiannon.” The steady rhythm section of John McVie on bass and Mick Fleetwood on drums made their presence known, keeping the pace of songs like “I Know I’m Not Wrong” and the tribal rhythm of “Tusk.” The audience was up dancing to the classics “Say You Love Me” and “Seven Wonders,” before it was time for the acoustic section of the show. Guitarist-singer Lindsey Buckingham took the spotlight for a solo acoustic rendition of the 1987 single “Big Love.” Then Stevie Nicks joined him onstage for an emotional delivery of “Landslide,” before closing this portion of the show with “Never Going Back Again.”

The entire Fleetwood Mac band would reconvene for the band’s first single from 1975, “Over My Head.” Nicks would once again become the main focus as she donned a gold-colored shawl and seemed to become possessed by the “Gold Dust Women” as she frantically dance to the song’s mystical rhythm. Buckingham would blow the audience away with his amazing guitar skills during the solo of “I’m So Afraid,” which set up the set closer “Go Your Own Way,” which was one of the songs of the evening that brought the sold-out arena to its feet.

After a short wait, the encore began with one of Fleetwood Mac’s lesser known songs, “World Turning,” which featured an energetic, crowd-pleasing drum solo from Fleetwood. The song “Don’t Stop” become one huge sing-along with the audience before slowing down for “Silver Springs.” The band would exit one more time, with only Christine McVie and Buckingham returning to the stage for the piano ballad “Songbird.” As the final note rang through the speakers, the rest of the band would rejoin center stage to a roaring applause from the audience. Before leaving for the final time, Nicks shared the story of how Christine McVie came to rejoin the band after 16 years. The final signal to the end of the night came from Fleetwood, who shouted in the microphone, “The Mac, most definitely, is back,” before finally exiting the stage. All in attendance would undoubtedly agree with that statement.

Yes you are right.What I seen so far .The lighting on Lindsey was to hot with two different cameras I was using.Yes he was hot on the guitar too .I tried the best I can to get good shots of him.Stevie shots came out great so did some of Chris's.Mick and John came out great.I still have to view to videos.

Thanks Michele.Great Review.I got to get a hardcopy from my friend when I see tomorrow.

[Macfanforever]

Heres the hardcopy of the review from my friends paper.I'll put it in my scrapbook.

[Hawkeye]

So Seven Wonders is one of their classics while world turning is a lesser known song? I'd probably switch that wording, but otherwise that's a great review.
