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.

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!!!! : )

I’m going to see the tribute band TUSK this Sunday with my brother which was a gift from him. I never really had an interest in seeing a tribute band but it was a nice gift. Ive read this band is pretty good. We will see….

They are flawless from what I saw on youtube. There are countless Rumours bands which the quality wanes especially the ones on cruise ships. But I wonder if there is only one Tusk.

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

BTW, this band only does FM, one night(two shows). They were doing 70's and 80's classic rock last night(they did Stop Draggin' last night). And they're doing different music tonight. If they were a sucky cover band, I'd hate it. But they're damned good(did I mention that it's free, as is my Cabernet?). Edit- they did EO17 tonight.

By the way, that Dream Woman song of French And Saunders. Is it an original song of that show? Who wrote it? Or is it a song with changed lyrics for the parody?

Always assumed it was written by the duo as a parody of Dreams and Rhiannon.

I'm sure this is overload for y'all, and I'll drop it like it's Stevie trying to get into FM solo in 1975.
Here's a thing on this Rumours band. https://craigslegztravels.com/syd-no...%20of%20Google.

I find it a mystery why you spelled Stevie properly.
