I attended both the Oct 30th & 31st Fleetwood Mac concerts at Wembley Arena and they were simply great shows. I saw the US tour last spring four times, and if anything the band is having even more fun now. Lindsey has changed to wearing a blue shirt on stage, and Stevie wears a long tan shawl for Stand Back. Otherwise the show is the same. Stevie has cut the top off of her classic black boots and added some silver studs. She wears them for the last third of the show and looks wonderful in them. She looks great all around.

 

The British audiences were going nuts for the band, which was really nice. On the second night some idiot sitting in the front kept throwing condoms at Lindsey on stage. Finally in a very nice way Lindsey asked him to stop, saying he or Stevie could slip on them. He was very funny throwing them back out into the audience, adding that he guessed it was a compliment, even though the person throwing them at him was a guy. But you could also tell that if it hadn't stopped Lindsey would have gotten angry for real, but luckily it did stop. Also that night during the band bows at the end of the show someone handed Stevie a multicolored stuffed toucan bird, which she put up on Mick's drum set, just like she used to do in the old days.

 

These shows were so happy for the band, you could really see it in their behavior. I hope they tour the US again next year.

 

The only thing I didn't like was that the shirts they made up with the European and Australian Tour dates on the back didn't come in large enough sizes. I heard a lot of people ask the concession staff if the band thought Brits were all tiny people. They would have sold more shirts if they hadn't made such a stupid mistake. You would think they would know better after all these years.
