Now that the tour is finally over. What are your highlights?
Here is my short list:

* Just seeing and hearing Christine live on stage again is a dream come true. I never thought I would hear Songbird live again. Dreams do come true.

* Best crowd: From the videos I have seen Dublin is the winner. Tampa was awesome on the last night of the first leg too. Several other cities seriously were fans with on their feet the whole night.

*Worst crowd: Lincoln NE. The Mac did an unheard of act in Rock N Roll and kept performing for 2 songs while their drummer almost incapacitated back stage. Those that booed are wrong. Note: I know this was the minority of fans there.

* Best songs: I love they dug into Tusk for I know I'm not wrong, Sara, and Think about me

My favorite part of this tour was all the first shows in America when Christine starts singing You Make Loving Fun and the crowd roars in approval. That moment gives me the chills. I find myself going back and watching these videos often. Especially the ones from the first 2 weeks of the tour. I loved a comment Stevie made early on when she told a reporter that Christine was being 'spoon fed' crowd adoration.

Believe me, the Dublin crowd were awesome. It was my first concert seeing them and the fans were so protective of each other, it sounds weird I know. I was the front row but there were these girls that were behind me and these lads tried to jump in front of them. Me and these girls (don't know them at all) had queued for hours so the people around us started giving the lads ****e about trying to skip in front of the girls who had gotten there first. I was so happy to see fans like that, and was even more glad because i knew they loved FM too.

Anyway, the crowd only fell silent (for a while) during Landslide and kept singing every other song. Almost died when stevie, chris and lindsey came near me. I loved the fact that Chris smiled at me, made me feel nice for a while I don't think stevie could see too well and I was worried she would fall off stage when she came near me because all the fans leaped forward to "get a feel" and nearly crushed me in the process. I just froze and then lindsey was blasting a solo from So Afraid when he neared me. I had post concert blues for ages.

I definitely cannot wait to see what happens after the tour. If they go for solo tours I really hope they consider Europe because it's so frustrating for us fans over here. Plus just plane tickets to America are a months wages

Would be great if they get their faces on the tube or flat screen as they call them today and perform .Show up on the Macy's Thanksgiving parade and sing Sleigh Ride and which is probably to late to get into it and they are just to pooped to do it.,Dick Clark's New Years Rock n Eve.Do a Mac on Ice as ice dancers dance to Mac tunes as they play live on the set.My imagination is up and running.LOL...............

They were only on the tube to perform a year ago on the Today show as I remember.

Although Macless, I'm pretty sure they will re-air
The Stevie Nicks Blue Christmas ABC TV Special 2009
again this year.

I figured by now we'd have that on Blu ray.

I have no expectations of the musical-future of this band.

I doubt it they will tour on the scale again. Maybe Stevie en Lindsey will make another solo-album and tour the US only (it's been 26 years ago a solo Stevie performed in Europe and cannot even remember did Lindsey so). Cannot afford flying to the US, so I think I saw them for the last time this summer.

Saw them two nights in a row in Amsterdam and a week later in Antwerp as well. Both nights in Amsterdam quite upfront. Rock concerts in Holland are general admission for 99% of the times, so I was early both nights and had a blast.

Highlights: Lindsey's guitarplaying and hearing and seeing Christine McVie behind the grand piano playing Songbird (twice! They skipped it in Antwerp).

I was always a casual Fleetwood Mac fan, they were just another classic rock band to me. I knew the essential Fleetwood Mac and Rumours songs I heard on the radio. I knew there was two female singers but I only knew about Stevie Nicks. I thought they were in the band at different times because I knew Say You Love Me and You Make Loving Fun was not Stevie Nicks singing.

Sometime in 2009 or 2010 I was in the car with my brother and he had Gypsy on a burned CD and I really liked that song and he told me it was Fleetwood Mac.

Sometime in 2011, I was in the car with a good friend of mine who was a big classic rock/pop buff and Hold Me came on the 80s on 8 station on satellite radio and she said "I love this song." And the satellite radio conveniently puts the song title and artist right on the GPS screen. As Hold Me was playing and I saw that it was Fleetwood Mac, I thought to myself "this is a different sounding song for Fleetwood Mac" because I had only heard Fleetwood Mac and Rumours songs.

I was at my parents house at some point in 2012 and heard Everywhere playing from their sound system in their house. I was unfamiliar with the song but I really liked it. I asked my mom and she said it was Fleetwood Mac. I wanted to hear this song again so I youtubed it and I clicked on The Dance performance of Everywhere and so I kept listening to it and I remembered Gypsy and Hold Me from those other two stories so I youtubed those two and listened to them a lot.

I made a Fleetwood Mac station on my pandora and it played Sara and that was the first time I ever heard that song and it really caught my attention. After that I started listening to all the Rumours era stuff and found that my favorite songs were mostly Christine songs.

By this point it's 2013 and I'm at my parents' house for dinner; my mom is looking at ticketmaster and tells my dad that Fleetwood Mac was going to play here soon and he said he didn't want to go because Christine wasn't with them anymore. I had never really been to a concert before so I didn't really think about going. Christine was also my favorite so I thought "I don't want to see them unless it's all five of them." After a few days I came to the conclusion that I may never get to see them again so I should do it now. I bought tickets and I saw them in 2013 and it was awesome. My seats were 8th row center on the floor, right in front of Stevie.

So I joined the ledge and started following news about the band and stuff. I saw Christine join them in London in September of 2013 and followed the news as it was announced that she was rejoining the band and they were going to tour again. As soon as tickets went on sale I was on ticketmaster and got the same seats 8th row center on the floor. I saw them twice with Christine, the first time was in the fall of 2014 so I got to see Songbird and Seven Wonders. Not only did I find my favorite band in Fleetwood Mac, but they opened my eyes to all the amazing music of that era 60s 70s and 80s. Between 2013 and 2014 I went to see Crosby Stills & Nash, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Hall & Oates, and Steely Dan as well. I somewhat believe in The Secret, for those of you that might know what that is. I definitely agree with Stevie when she said the collective energy of all the die hard Fleetwood Mac fans brought Christine back.

Music has become a sentimental thing for me and it's because of Fleetwood Mac and I'm so glad I got to see them with Christine.
