Fleetwood Mac Thrills Thousands At Coliseum

A sellout crowd of more than 16,000, including many who were standing at the door during the early morning hours in hopes of getting the choicest seats, filled the Greensboro Coliseum with thunderous applause Saturday night for rousing performances by the Fleetwood Mac and Firefall rock bands.
The crow spending most of its day at the coliseum camped out on blankets, throwing frisbees and playing games to keep going until the popular rock musicians got onstage to do their thing.
Police made a number of arrests for violations of drug laws, mostly for possession of marijuana, but a police spokesman said there were "no more drug arrests than usual" for a sellout performance by rock musicians at the coliseum.
The clapping, bouncing and shouting audience cheered loudest for performances by Lindsey Buckingham, guitarist, and the vocals of Christine McVie, featured singer of the Fleetwood Mac band who writes most of the music for their performances.
The loudest, longest applause, which some coliseum officials said could be heard far outside the coliseum walls, came when Buckingham played soft guitar and Ms. McVie sang a soft rock song, a song with mystical overtones and considered hauntingly beautiful by many of today's most noted music critics, "Rhianon."
In speaking to the audience about her music, Ms. McVie spoke in an unmistakable British accent, but when she sang, her booming voice rang out in accents of pure rock 'n' roll.
