Silver Springs was dropped on this last US date... By the sounds of it in Nashville the night before, Stevie was struggling. Two more shows left (Calgary and Edmonton) to close out the North American dates before a few months off for the band before Europe. I hope she gives her voice a rest over the next couple of days to unleash this song one last time for these two Canadian dates - it's so good live!. One bonus for New Orleans though is that Stevie spoke about and sang a few lines (accapella) of a NEW song she had written about New Orleans after Katrina hit. She spoke about the song a few years ago in the press but no sign of it being recorded just yet... Maybe if they manage to get it together for an album she'll consider finally recording it! No video has surfaced of her singing it... yet. Would love to see and hear it if anyone managed to capture that moment during the show.

Silver Springs - Nashville

Anonymous said...: Really wasn't happy that Silver Springs was dropped cause it's one of my favorite songs and Don't Stop is my least favorite, so for me that wasn't a great way to end the show.
Now the sound...did anyone else who was at the NO show feel that it was way too loud? To me it felt like someone had cranked up a home stereo system too loud to the point where it actually distorts the sound. It was utter crap, and I don't think the band themselves had anything to do with it.
The performance/setlist - Awesome! They did what they set out to do: have fun and play songs people want to hear. Everything that they played was perfect. Highlights: Storms (how could they never have played this before?!), Sara, Landslide, Oh Well, I Know I'm Not Wrong.

I really hope a DVD (Blu-Ray)/CD of this show is released soon so I can truly enjoy it at the right volume at home.; 21 June 2009 at 21:27

Get Tusked: The Inside Story of Fleetwood Mac's Most Anticipated Album
by Ken Caillat and Hernan Rojas

In this behind-the-scenes look at the making of Fleetwood Mac’s epic, platinum-selling double album, Tusk, producers and engineers Ken Caillat and Hernan Rojas tell their stories of spending a year with the band in their new million-dollar studio trying to follow up Rumours, the biggest rock album of the time.

Following their massive success, the band continued its infamous soap opera when its musical leader and guitarist, Lindsey Buckingham, threatened to quit if he didn’t get things his way, resulting in clashes not only with his band but especially Caillat, who had been essential to the band’s Grammy-winning sound.

Hernan Rojas’s story recounts a young man who leaves Chile after General Pinochet’s coup to seek his future in the music industry of Los Angeles, where he finds success at one of the hottest studios in town. When Fleetwood Mac arrives, Rojas falls in love with its star singer, Stevie Nicks, and the two of them become romantically involved.

Throughout the book, both Caillat and Rojas detail not only the trials and sacrifices they made to finish the album, but also triumphs of musical inspiration and technical innovation that have made Tusk the darling of music critics and indie rockers today.
