^ Guess we're screwed - both shows are sold out. I transcribed a small blurb from The Buffalo News, written by Jeff Miers:

MAC BREAK

The sound of FM has morphed so drastically over the 40 years of the group's existence that one would be forgiven for failing to find a common link between the group's late-'60's incarnation and tha late-'70's band that gave us the platinum powered pop genius of "Rumours," "Tusk" and "TITN."

Guitarists have come and gone - legends all, from the mighty Peter Green, to the soulful and refined Bob Welch, through Lindsey Buckingham's baroque folk genius, and the one-two punch of rockers Billy Burnette and Rick Vito - while the group's sound persued various avenues, from hard blues to soft rock. One presence has always remained: the ecstatic, bug-eyed stare and rock-steady thump of skinsman and co-namesake Mick Fleetwood, whose drumming can be heard on Mac hits as disparate os "The Green Manalishi," "Hypnotized," "Don't Stop" and "Peacekeeper."

While Buckingham concentrates - temporarily at least - on his long-neglected solo career, Fleetwood has packed up his drums, grabbed ahold of both Burnette and Vito, called old friend bassist George Hawkins Jr., and booked a string of solo dates. The groups stops for shows next Friday and Jan 13 in the Avalon Ballroom of Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort. Both shows are sold out.
