Review Fleetwood Mac Live in Auckland, NZ November 21, 2015

Review: Fleetwood Mac in Auckland
by Lydia Jenkin
NZHerald

The title of Fleetwood Mac's current 15-month world tour 'On With The Show' felt especially fitting as the heavens opened above Mount Smart Stadium in Auckland last night in a pre-summer monsoon.

But the rain did little to dampen the spirits of the 38,000 people who'd turned out for the second to last night of the tour - the biggest crowd the legendary five-piece have played to since they reunited in September 2014.

They might've been getting soaked, but for many this was a once in a lifetime opportunity to see Mick Fleetwood, Lindsey Buckingham, John McVie, Stevie Nicks, and Christine McVie all together once more, and they were ready to let the rain wash them clean, go their own way, and break some chains.

And so were Fleetwood Mac. Their two hour set was laden with hits, and right from opener The Chain, it was clear the five longtime band mates and past lovers have put the years of turbulence well behind them, and now delight in giving these songs a truly heartfelt rendition.

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.
