Fleetwood Mac.

Well. I can't say that I didn't enjoy it because I did. If nothing else it was great for comedy value. I could have just watched Mick Fleetwood pulling funny faces all night while playing the drums, that was entertainment enough!

The sound was awful! I don't know what was going on with the sound crew, maybe they were all wacked out on something because it sounded like you were listening to an old Mac record played through a tin speaker. When you had both Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham singing and some guitar it was really just noise. The high end frequencies were very likely ripping everyone's ear drums up, it was shocking! Considering the band and the venue, I really expected a better sound.

Still, it was a laugh watching Lindsey playing 5 minute guitar solos, smacking his guitar (he even let the crowd have a bash) and throwing 2/3 guitars on the floor. Mick Fleetwood did a very looooong drum solo too, he even had electronic drums in his waistcoat......g-reeeat! "Come-on baby!!", "Are ya with me?!" etc..

At the end Stevie thanked everyone for coming by saying 'Thank you for making tonight so special, you could have gone anywhere tonight but you came here to see us'. My ears wondered why I'd spent over £30 to degrade my hearing...and the lights!! Good grief! We were neally blinded a number times..it was just one huge all out assault on your senses.

Saying all that, it was amusing and once you got used to the crap sound, some of the songs were great. Micks face was very entertaining.

Not sure I'd ever go again. I'll leave you with Mick Fleetwood's closing comments..

"We just want to leave two things with you tonight, first of all - Take care of yourself, that's the first thing, and secondly, in a crazy world such as this - take care of each other. Goodnight and Godbless'

Niiiiiiiiice.
