Concert Review:
(The Arena, June 17, 1990)
published in Billboard, July 14, 1990
(by Brian Newcomb)

After its various reincarnations & personnel changes, Fleetwood Mac on this early summer weekend gave a performance a lot like a graduation, class reunion, & prom all rolled into one. Some 12,000 fans gathered for this date on the "Behind the Mask" tour, but with only two tracks featured from that new Warner Bros. disk, the crowd was treated to a greatest-hits package, high on concert pomp & circumstance, the camaraderie of old friends, & familiar music from the past.

The band, backed by two singers, a percussionist, & an extra keyboardist, performed most solidly on the songs of Christine McVie---"Say You Love Me," "Little Lies," "You Make Loving Fun" & the encore of "Don't Stop"---capturing the band's enduring qualities. Stevie Nicks, although distant, gave her best on the acoustic "Landslide," but the audience responded more than generously to her presence on "Rhiannon" & the one non-Mac tune, "Stand Back."

Veteran rhythm section John McVie & Mick Fleetwood excelled when backing new band mates Rick Vito, who delivered an array of fine guitar support, & Billy Burnette on the rockin' change-ups "Oh Well," "Standing on the Rock" & an early Peter Green blues . Burnette, acting as MC, tried to keep the energy up, but pacing lagged & several lulls---especially before the encore---made the show feel slow & listless. "World Turning"---featuring an overly long drum solo---gave the full band its best opportunity to shine as a unit.

Squeeze, on the other hand, played three as-yet-unrecorded songs while delivering the expected favorites---"Black Coffee in Bed," "Take Me, I'm Yours," "Tempted" & "Hourglass." Glenn Tilbrook's strong vocals & catchy guitars, plus the punchy rhythms of drummer Gilson Lavis, revealed the energy, melody, & creative spark that Squeeze can offer to pop music in the '90s.
