Review: Fleetwood Mac Live in Portland "band was fired up and totally engaged"

Last night, four members of the Rumours-era Fleetwood Mac played the Rose Garden, offering their biggest hits and some (relative) obscurities as well. It was a great show that didn't ever feel like a routine retread through past glories—the band was fired up and totally engaged for over two and a half hours. They opened with perhaps the greatest one-two-three punch a band could ever pull off: "Second Hand News," "The Chain," and "Dreams," wasting no time whatsoever in getting to the hits.

Lindsey Buckingham held down stage left, almost overly eager to prove his guitar ability. He shredded all night long, with highlights in his now-mandatory solo rendition of "Big Love," and the lengthy face-melting solo during "I'm So Afraid." He whooped and barked at the crowd, as animated as a man without have an eightball shoved up his nose could possibly be. (Oh, wait...) He played to the back row, as if he still had something to prove—when Buckingham's magnum opus Tusk met with some resistance in 1979, it must have put a little bit of a chip on his shoulder, which he still seems to be working out.

Stevie Nicks, meanwhile, was the soul of the show, departing the stage for the numbers that weren't hers but providing a great visual focal point while she was onstage. Dressed in her trademark black chiffon skirt and an array of shawls, she looked amazing and sounded excellent, even as she elected not to reach the high notes in "Dreams" or "Rhiannon."

SILVER SPRINGS Love that she takes a little stroll mid song around the stage... then back to the mic, spins around a few times...then continues on with the song.  Noticed the last few shows, she's really moving around a LOT on that stage, not just sticking to her little area... Great to see!
CLOSING THOUGHTS You know, every time I see them talking especially at the end of the show, and especially with Stevie's delivery, it sounds so final, like this is the last time... Years ago, they used to say "see you next time" or something to that effect... Not this time.

The Story of Fleetwood Mac 
Fleetwood Mac broke all of the records when the band's 1977 album, 'Rumours' became the best-selling album of the year, and it sold over 19 million copies in the US alone and a total of 40 million copies worldwide making it one of the biggest selling albums of all time. The Fleetwood Mac story begins in London in 1967 with original members Peter Green, Mick Fleetwood, Jeremy Spencer, Bob Brunning (and eventually John McVie) gaining some initial success during the late '60s British blues boom. Various line-up changes would see them hit creative and commercial peak in 1975 with the release of their self-titled album 'Fleetwood Mac'. And the rest, as they say, is history. Featuring interviews with Christine McVie and Mick Fleetwood plus live footage and music videos, this insightful documentary follows the band through the highs and the lows and shows why they are one of the most famous rock bands ever.
