# 94 (44) Fleetwood Mac - Greatest Hits

UK - JULY 7, 2012
TOP 100 ALBUMS CHART

Fleetwood Mac's UK Box Set "25 Years - The Chain" moves down, but only slightly this week from #17 to #24 in it's 3rd week of release pretty much guaranteeing it will stick around the Top 100 for a 4th and possibly a 5th week. This 4 CD Box Set has done really well for the band in the UK.  It was originally released worldwide in 1992 but never charted in the UK.  With new packaging for this years release including the same music and same 68 page booklet as the '92 version, but selling at a deeply discounted price at Amazon, HMV and other retailers it's pretty amazing what it's done at retail!  Nice set up for next years Fleetwood Mac tour and the likelihood that dates will happen in the UK. Rumours on the Catalogue Charts this week is sitting nicely at #9.

# 24 (17) Fleetwood Mac - 25 Years, The Chain

STEVIE NICKS LIVE IN HOLMDEL, NJ
PNC BANK ARTS CENTER
JUNE 30, 2012

The show just finished in Holmdel and by all accounts, everything remained intact from opening night.  No changes to the setlist - the show opened with Rock & Roll.  From a band positioning perspective, it looks like Bass player Al Ortiz has re-positioned himself next to the piano on the piano riser right behind Carlos Rios.  Maybe someone can confirm whether or not he was there last night. From looking at some of the videos, it doesn't look like it. As for Stevie herself she only went half white for Edge of Seventeen keeping the layered black dress on with the white top.

A lot of really cool shots came through Twitter from the show most notably from uber fan Jeannie Kartis.  She kept it up all night sending a shot through for every tune until her phone battery died... But in the mean time she captured some really spectacular colourful shots.. Here's a number of them.

Check out Jeannie's feed on Twitter for more @jeannie_Kartis. Thank you Jeannie!... Taking and sending out photos to the world takes you away from your show experience, but we really appreciate you doing it!

NEW Stevie Nicks Merchandise.... PLUS Final Bow Photo - Jones Beach

New Merchandise!
A lot of you are interested in seeing what's new in merchandise this year... Well this kinda sums it up.  Some pretty unique looking items up for grabs... You have a choice between nine T-shirts, black Hoodies, Hats, Magnets plus the In Your Dreams CD.  I particularly like the shirts with a picture of Stevie's own drawing on the front and the one with her and the owl.

Get ready to spend!

Final Bow at Jones Beach

Noticeably absent from the band this year is Lenny Castro, so no percussion player!  Noticeably added to Stevie's band this year is Brett Tuggle (next to Waddy) taking the place of also noticeably absent Ricky Peterson who played Keyboards and has been with Stevie on her last few tours.  Brett was last seen backing up Lindsey in 2011 on his Seeds We Sow Tour... and when not on tour joins Waddy at The Joint in L.A. for some live gigs. Not shown is Al Ortiz... I'm assuming he's standing next to Darrell Smith on the far left.
