49Lawson Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 Was lucky enough to see them on more than one occasion; first few times was without Christine McVie, and they were all the better for her rejoining. Was having a little reminisce about seeing them at Pinkpop and found this from one of my all time best festival headliner sets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they had John McVie, Lindsey and Stevie. The former is apparently in bad health and unlikely to tour and I can’t see how it can be Fleetwood Mac without a ‘Mac’. And I can’t see Stevie staying if Lindsey comes back. But then they’ve toured with some right ropey incarnations of the band in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen Fleetwood Mac play with and without Christine and it really showed how many of the greatest songs were hers which they didn’t play without her there. Terrific singer and songwriter. So sad.

Saw The Mac at Wembley three years ago and both her and Stevie still sounded fantastic. Didn’t realise she would have been 76 at that gig. Same, they were amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avalon_Fields Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 Christine’s songs on Rumours were great, although my favourite album of theirs is its predecessor, the Fleetwood Mac album. I’m probably in a minority in rating Tusk as good as those two. Only saw them once, at the Manchester Arena, years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zacko Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 Damn. Tango in the Night absolutely shines because of her influence and songs, in particular Isn't It Midnight ❤️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestacres Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) Lucky enough to see them 5 times since 2013 in UK, three times with Christie and she was mesmerising. What a songwriter and one of the best hands I've ever had the privilege of watching live. Will be a massive loss. I never tire of Rumours or Tango in the Night.

Watergirl Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 One headliner they'll never have. I thought Christine was the best songwriter in Fleetwood Mac, and that's saying something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maelzoid Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 Considering the Mac have been contention as potential headliners right up until this moment, this seems shockingly sudden. In a band that had both Buckingham and Nicks as singer songwriters, she was their equal on both fronts which is testament to her talent, even if she seemed the more temperate of the three. She does leave us some remarkably beautiful music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueJeansAndWhiteTshirts Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 I feel privileged to have seen her play with FM. She was the heart of that band in my eyes. Stevie and Lindsey steal the headlines but Christine was always the class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lubic Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 Very sad news. Feeling glad I managed to see the full band when they toured a few years ago - was the day after Glastonbury 2015 I believe, so treated it as my 4th headliner. Always hoped we'd get them on the farm - think they would have been the perfect Pyramid headliner. RIP Christine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
