    Almost certainly not, unless you enjoy impeccably played but soulless retrospectives by pensioners.

    I'd stay away from the Mac.....see Lindsay Buckingham solo.

    If Peter Green ever does any more touring, go and see him. I saw him in 1996 when he made his comeback, and he was surprisingly on form. However, he's been seemingly in retirement again over the past five years or so.


    As for the '70s Fleetwood Mac, nah.

    I saw them about three years ago, and it was a great show if only for Lindsay Buckingham. The guy's incredible.
    It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.

    I caught the tour without Lindsey. I'd go see them with this lineup just to see the Mac with him, although it's too bad McVie isn't touring anymore.
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    The last time I saw Stevie, she was at new her restaurant in Sedona, Arizona.

    Christ on a bike NO!

    I saw them in Glasgow 2000-2003 something like that.Tickets cost £55 and it was the worst gig I have ever had the misfortune to see.

    Stevie Nicks kept on thanking "her" band for playing with her and her and Lindsay Buckingham played kissie kissie/touchy touchy every time they finished a song.It was nausea overload.I couldnt stand it any longer and left an hour into the set.

    Keep your money and wait,hope and pray that the real Mac Peter Green decides he's well enough to come out of hibernation and tour again.

    If it happens you will witness a true star in a true performance.Not the sad nipped and tucked Nicks and Buckingham show.

    but seriously, I wouldn't want to suffer thru the Christine McVie songs.

    ...
    How did I know you'd say that? 'Then Play On', 'Kiln House', 'Bare Trees', 'Penguin', 'A Mystery To Me'... GREAT fucking music.
    Was never a big fan of the Stevie Nicks Fleetwood Mac... except I wanted to ball Stevie.

    I always thought Stevie/Buckingham Mac was pretty good.....

    Rumours is a pretty tight album.....
