Fleetwood drumming out of control

Fleetwood Mac played in Sweden for the first time in 20 years, And the most lasting impression is ... a drum solo.

Solo question fired in the middle of the extra number "World Turning".

The rest of the band goes by the stage for Mick Fleetwood to be dust on the cymbals and timpani and snare drum alone.

As if that were not enough, make the old juggler, strange sounds. He screams a lot of incomprehensible units that, for example, chewing gum. Mick looks like Jämtland President Bob Seger, but yelp as Killinggänget fictional and drunken bus driver Lasse Congo.

Lose themselves completely

If I were Mick Fleetwood headset, I would have packed up, bowed and took an early evening.

The drum solo is in all its obvious Terribleness evening's most entertaining moments. Perhaps says a lot.

The only thing that would otherwise break the pattern is that Stevie Nicks lose so much before a solo number, "Stand back" that she did not even catch up on stage.  The band may simply start over when she finally emerged from the rock scenes.

Fleetwood Mac played eight tracks from their best album "Rumors", including "Silver Springs" was originally an unreleased outtake from the same disc. They are doing six songs from "Fleetwood Mac". And four from the "Tusk".

The glow is gone

The rings in her period of greatness by doing a full 18 songs recorded between 1975 and 1979. But they never manage to recreate boards unique and enchanting glow. The scenes that occurred when the members' own standards and break up marriages embedded by the polished arrangements so that the listener could reflect itself in them.

Fleetwood Mac sounds like similar and nostalgic and radio-friendly rock veterans do - blunt and dull.

To finally hear and see Stevie Nicks in "Landslide" is some consolation. Nobody can sing like her.

Otherwise, it is most of Lindsey Buckingham and his guitar and theatrical voice that sometimes gets really annoying. He pulls out väääldigt myyyycket on oooorden when he feeeeling. Yeeaaaah.

And the drum solo, of course. It obliterates everything.

Fleetwood Mac

Location: Globen, Stockholm. Attendance: 10,828

Length: Just over two and half hour.

Best: "Second Hand News" and "Silver Springs".

Worst: Diffuse and long blues number "Gold Dust Woman". The time to be a new calendar year before the song is finished. And Mick Fleetwood's bizarre drum solo, of course.

REVIEW: FLEETWOOD MAC - GLOBEN STOCKHOLM

Fleetwood Mac has expanded its audience since the last visit, 19 years ago. The Anglo-American group's chill 70's production has been incorporated with other archaeological findings in the ever-changing club music scene, which made them even an old name to drop for young hipsters.

Something trendy Balearic lapping it will unfortunately not for the varied group of people who filled the Globe this Saturday night. On the contrary, it is a mostly stab Tunggung that is coming out. But not the Blue Rock Tunggung that marked the group's first edition in the 60s, when guitarist Peter Green was still a healthy man. Rather, it is an inability to reproduce the elegant and successful Californian groove as the group honed in Los Angeles studios in the 70s. In fine songs like Dreams and Sara - where the band is located immediately west coast rock - will find it almost to the evasive groove as enchanted as well as hipsters Swedish studio musicians, but there are just two of the 23 songs in a nearly two and half hour long concert.

Fleetwood Mac has a long and turbulent history with many member changes and stops. Set at the Globe - Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham - reflects the commercially successful 70's, with the exception of Christine McVie. It was originally supposed to Sherryl Crow was replaced McVie of the current world tour. It had probably been a stroke of genius, but unfortunately it was not so.

With two help musicians and three körkvinnor is the total of nine people on stage (ten if you're going to count drum technician who sits hidden behind Mick Fleetwood and sometimes helps with the percussion). Clowns, Lindsay Buckingham takes the greatest place. He is a capable guitarist, but the last line has custom-built guitars and get it right pompous in his lengthy between snack. Ii'M so afraid he goes completely bananas and sets off in an eternity-long guitar solo that ends in pure abuse of the semi-acoustic Guran. Together with Mick Fleetwood involuntarily comical drum solo during the extra numbers are the bottom of this evening's talk.

Stevie Nicks is a much lower profile. She certainly change clothes three times, but it is about the same frayed romantic rock outfit every time, in black or red.

She has a hazy look and turns to it when she'll tell you about bands in the 60s San Francisco. When she probably believes Jefferson Airplane "she says Velvet Underground, which is quite fun when Lou Reed hated the flower children in California. Though she has a nice MIXED-style - she miss an entrance - and the little effect his voice is remarkably intact.

Fleetwood Mac took off in the Globe - Live in Stockholm, Sweden

A band who had their greatest success for over 30 years ago, and now reunited for a world tour as most are based on the older songs, it might be so interesting?

Yes indeed, the band called Fleetwood Mac, or rather 70-talsinkarnationen of this from the start the British blues band.

In the lead is still Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks was once a couple, both private and on stage, but whose divorce formed the basis for many of the supposed sad, bittersweet pop melodies are the mega-seller Rumors. The strange when they are on stage together again is that the songs from that time portrayed as a still ongoing drama about love, hope and desolation, in dialogue with the listener. Often the songs omknådade and have been rearranged, and a nerve that was not the original.

Stevie Nicks has become quite scarred voice, but also an undeniable theatrical presence in its häxliknande outfit. Moment is very much also Lindsey Buckingham that balances on the brink of total INCONTINENCE in several rock numbers, and showing its totally brilliant guitarist, he is in solo and duosånger as Big love and Landslide. And perhaps that is where, in the more intimate songs that Nicks and Buckingham makes the biggest impression. As with Stevie Nicks beautiful Sara, a look back at lawsuits from the U.S. west coast, culminating in that they give each other a hug on stage. It may be directed, but the impression is still as naked.

And at the same time, they have one of rock's most rhythmic and rhyming sections of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, it used to be fun grandfather in äppelknyckarbyxor who have a sustained frenzy of drum game and also makes a fun solo interjections.

Fleetwood Mac

Thank you for your review, UNT. Have read the two evening newspapers, reviews, and I wonder if they were at the concert. Rather negative preconceived opinions about the group. I myself was at the concert and felt the heavy two hours went quickly. There is evidence that a concert is a good thing.

Missing, however, a couple of favorite sounds, "Tango in the Night," "Black Magic Woman". Drum Solo has never spoken to me - not even Mick Fleetwood.
