FLEETWOOD MAC - THE BEGINNING OF THE END

Last night at Wembley Arena in London

Fleetwood Mac closed out the European

leg of the Unleashed Tour.

It was a special show - Christine McVie having retired from the band in 1998 was there in the audience to support the band but sadly didn't participate. Lots of love was sent out to Christine during the night from Lindsey and Stevie - Lindsey said hello to all of their friends in the audience especially Christine, saying "we love you". Stevie dedicated Landslide to Christine saying she misses her everyday.

Not quite the beginning, but here's the second song of the night

"The Chain".

Next up is Melbourne, Australia

December 1st

He was amazed, thriled, emotional (I hope because I wasn't with him), and throughout the years I never missed a gig, he always did.Now he knows what he's misses since The Dance tour. I saw them in Anaheim & L.A. They get better & better. Chris once said, "the only thing that will stop F.M. is a firing squad".I sure hope they finish back in LA so M.C. & I can rock with the BEST band-EVER! DON'T STOP !!; 7 November 2009 at 13:56

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.
