I am still in shock from their performance! I have seen Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks several times, but THIS was THE MOST INCREDIBLE show ever! The arena was filled with anticipation and energy, and at the first sight of the band, we all lost it! Everyone is commenting on the bands chemistry, along with the bond between Stevie and Lindsey, and it's true! It's as if they never stopped touring. I couldn't believe the kiss!!! It was PERFECT...and I loved when Lindsey leaned on her back while he played. The talent on that stage was indescribable. I have a new respect for Lindsey Buckingham; he's a genius! Never have I heard a better guitarist. This was my husband's first FM concert and he said, "This was the best concert I've ever been to, and Lindsey is awesome!". I was happy to hear Never Going Back, Second Hand News and Stand Back. I had chills (as usual) listening to Stevie's mesmerizing vocals...and Beautiful Child...I'd never heard that live, and I cried...as I did with Goodbye Baby. No band will EVER compare to Fleetwood Mac or have the respect of their fans. Mick ...well...everyone knows Mick...the way he plays and his performances with the synthesizers...he's wonderful. It adds SO much more to the experience to see HOW HAPPY they are on stage, how much they enjoy it, and how much they appreciate us. John was great, in his quiet way! It was expected that they'd come out for one encore...but they did TWO...and everyone around me just screamed, "THANK YOU!!!". You are the greatest band and the best gift I've ever been given. Thank you for 30 years of REAL music. Your songs have brought so much joy to so many people and have been a security blanket for those of us who grew up on TRUE ROCK N ROLL. Thank you ...thank you...thank you...Please come around again~ Much love~

The band and the performance were WONDERFUL. ...The venue was so so.....no smoking allowed ANYWHERE and no re-entrance once you were in. The fans next to us were horrible. I was in sec 104 row c (disappointed pre-saler) and the dude next to us was complaining about us standing and dancing.....then one of my friends spilled some nacho cheese on him and you would have thought the world ended !!! I mean, this dude was acting like a wife-beater with my friends. Calling them horrible names, getting nose to nose in their face, etc. She thought he was gonna actually hit her !!! My two female friends ended up sitting for the rest of the show, cause he was such a maniac about things. I didn't even realize that it happened until after the fact or I would have gone and got security to have the A-hole removed. .....testosterone.....and booze don't always make a pretty mix, huh? Then, at the end of the show, we booted down to the floor for the last song. Some other d*ckhead yelled at us for bumping into him (another a-hole). Don't these people realize they're at a rock concert? It was a VERY poor reflection of FM fans and American society in general. It really put a damper on our experience. Instead of bonding with other FM fans, it seemed like the people we encountered had their fighting shoes on. Please people, be kind to one another.

This was the best concert to date I've seen from the Mac, including Stevie's and Lindsey's solo concerts! The band seemed in top form, really playing well together, and much more relaxed and fun than the previous "Dance" tour. Stevie looked and sounded amazing! Her voice sounded richer and stronger than ever, and her new hairstyle (sans bangs) looks wonderful on her. Lindsey was a madman on the guitar, totally going off on solos for songs like "Come," "I'm So Afraid," and "Go Your Own Way." I loved when his solos climaxed with a two-handed strumming style! There were nice surprises in the concert too, like when Stevie harmonized with Lindsey on "Never Going Back Again." Lindsey added some additional guitar work to this song, and the result was a version truly better than the "Rumours" version. Another nice surprise was hearing Stevie sing Christine's parts on "Don't Stop" and "World Turning." It's hard to explain why that sounded so cool...it just did! The crowd was totally nuts after "Landslide" when Lindsey gave Stevie a sweet peck on the head then lips! Perhaps they were playing to the crowd, but it seemed sincere from where I was sitting, and avid fans like myself just love seeing Lindsey and Stevie getting along so well after all these years! I was also thrilled to hear Stevie sing "Gypsy" and "Beautiful Child," the latter of which Stevie said she had not previously performed live. She also closed the show with "Goodbye Baby" which was the perfect ending to the night. Improvements from previous concerts were the visual effects during "Tusk" which showed video of the USC Marching Trojans Band, which recreated the magic of the televised "Dance" performance, and Mick's drum solo, which seemed to have enhanced sound effects. There were only a few slight disappointments of the evening. One was when many audience members headed out to the bathrooms and snack bars when Lindsey started the song "Come." They missed out!!! Another disappointment was to see John McVie still hiding in the background. Then toward the end of the concert, Lindsey tried engaging John in some stage antics, and John would have no part of it. John just kept playing bass and staring at the floor! All in all, a wonderful concert, and I look forward to seeing it again tonight in Philly!

OK, I attended both Buffalo & AC and I'm not sure how to compare - I thought Buffalo was better, but my friend thought AC was - I reminded him he had many more beers before Buffalo & maybe he doesn't rememeber it accurately LOL! Anyway, we drove to AC Friday & we stayed on the boardwalk (Holiday Inn - I couldn't afford the $200-$300 per night the other hotels wanted. Nice hotel, even if it was cheaper) Friday & Saturday. The sound of the Mac was in the air - quite a few of the casinos were playing them. The set list was the same as Buffalo. Lindsey broke only 1 string in AC, but the solos still rocked. I also noticed sound problems in AC - hard to hear Stevie on harmony (I can't rmember the song I noticed it most, one of Lindsey's, I think Peacekeeper) She seemed a bit hoarse in the middle of the show - BC especially (she hit all the notes, but seemed to be straining a bit). Everyone saw "the kiss" - the crowd went nuts! Stand Back was again a huge highlite - her vocals sounded great now, as they did for the rest of the show. Lots of twirls during that one, but no kick. A Stevie kick did come at the end of GYOW, though. Many more people dressed in Stevie attire (including me) than Buffalo, but the AC crowd was (yawn) boooorrring!!! They didn't seem into the show at all except for the "big hits". Even some older stuff (Never Going Back, Beautiful Child) got a lukewarm response, and the front row seemed bored (I'd trade anything for those seats, and I see everyone just sitting there, or getting up for food) Every other show I've ever been to, the front 3 or 4 rows were on their feet the entire time, but not this show. It was sold out, but when I turned around, the arena was blah - not a lot of excitement. I don't know what the deal was. We got (pleasantly) lost on the way out - an usher directed us the wrong way & we ended up backstage (of course, we didn't see anyone, but it was still very cool to be up there!) When we finally found our way out, they directed us into the casino - what a dirty trick (but not unexpected, I guess) I want to tell anyone who has floor tix kind of far back - I'm 5'5" & wore platforms to both shows (making me about 5'8" or so) & I saw everything beautifully at both shows (13th & 24th rows in front floor sections). Binoculars help too. Hope you get to see a show on this tour - come on Toronto!

This was my first time seeing Fleetwood Mac!!! I saw Stevie on her tour in 2001, but this was unbeatable!! She looks great, she sounds even better and the chemistry between Stevie and Lindsey was so awesome!! Mick rocks my world when he gets those wild and crazy eyes when he is really hitting it home. I loved every second of the show, some highlights include Silver Springs, Stand Back, and of course my Gold Dust Woman. During a few of the songs, they showed the video of the band from back in the day - and seriously, they look just as good. Stevie's skin was glowing! I wish I knew what kind of skin cream she is using!! World Turning was so cool with Mick playing the drums on his vest that was hooked into some kind of drum set - amazing. The people in front of us got in late, talked thru the whole thing...but I didn't even care that much - I was just so happy to be right there, in the moment with the Mac. I felt that the concert embodied something for everyone, old and new, young and old. I was disappointed that more people were not into some of the new stuff (which is amazing) - Lindsey rocking out on Come was so sexy! And the kiss! Don't think it was planned - Lindsey just felt like kissing her - how incredibly sweet! I will be in Philly tonight for their show and then up to East Rutherford on Sunday - 4th row, I've never been so happy! It was also great that they played such a long set, but I could listen to them play 24/7!! I love the fact that they really respect their fans, they wish us well and thank us for sharing in their musical journey - but really, thank YOU for making the music! See you in Philly & E. Ruth!!

I am a huge fan of Stevie nicks and Fleetwood Mac ... have been since I was 12 and I am only 25... and Saturdays show blew me away!! my husband got me 3rd row seats for mothers day!! I couldn't believe that I was going to see Fleetwood Mac in A.C. with 3rd row seats!! The show was outrageous!! stevie looked beautiful as always!! And she sounded incredible!! when they sang landslide the whole crowed started to sing with them.. you could actually hear the crowd over stevie and Lindsey!! Even when Lindsey missed a note. it was so beautiful and you could see the love still shared between Lindsey and stevie.. i was almost in tears! then there was Lindsey's powerful solos where once again he broke a string and Mick's energetic drum solo got the crowd on its feet!! and john standing in the back with his bass just watching the band from a distance but still making his presence know with the steadiness of his bass. Then to hear beautiful child live for the first time ever was amazing!! I actually had tears in my eyes.. And so did every other true Mac fan!!! when stevie played stand back the place went crazy!!!! I couldn't believe that she played that being that its not a Mac song!! for the last encore (there was 2) I got to sneak up to the stage with a few other people and got to shake Lindsey's hand!! It will be a night that I will NEVER forget!!! thanks Fleetwood Mac for such a wonderful evening!!! you guys are loved very much for they way you treat your fans!!! good luck with the rest of the tour!!!

Thumbs Up: We totally en-JAW'd our evening at the beautifully renovated Boardwalk Hall. My tour accomplice, Bert, & I drove up from Baltimore to rock the night away with the Mac. Our floor seats provided quite a different perspective than we had at MCI. The acoustics were great, the stage was well lit, & most of the crowd seemed to be as captivated as we were. What a fun show (despite hoping in vain for Stevie to Run Through the Garden). And miles from home, funny to be sitting only 2 seats away from DC's VJ Tre! Thumbs Down: I just don't get why some people buy tickets to these concerts & SIT the entire time, complaining about the 42 rows in front of them who were up dancing & having fun. That's what people do at rock shows! So ROCK A LITTLE! Thumbs Twiddling: Sure hope to get to another concert(s). The Mac is so special & we're very lucky to have them still making beautiful music together. Best wishes to the band!

Well Worth the Ride!!!! I live about 15 mins. away from Philadelphia but I decided to see FM in Atlantic City because Boardwalk Hall is about 1/2 the size of the First Union center in Philly. My husband and I left Friday night and drove 50 miles to Beach Haven, NJ then drove 50 miles further south on Sat. night for the concert. We parked at the Hilton and then asked a bus driver for directions to Boardwalk Hall....he was so cool and invited us to ride for free on a bus leaving from the Hilton Hotel that went right to Boardwalk Hall! On the bus, I sat next to a lady to wasn't into the band at all but was given comp. tickets by the Hilton becasue she is a BIG TIME Gambler....she lost $7,000 that day!!!!!!! The whole bus was full of people who had gotten comp tickets or who had purchased tickets at the hotel....boy were they mad I was on there for free! The bus parked underneath boardwalk hall...I saw all the tractor trailers, tour buses and a few limos....no band members though : ( Anyway...on to the show....We sat in section 212 row P....pretty much near the last row. The show started a little bit late but FM came out strong with "The Chain" followed by "Dreams" The set list was pretty much the same as the one on Nicks Fix, minus "Running Through The Garden" and "Destiny Rules" they did add "Second Hand News". The band was great but unfortunately, the section I was sitting in SUCKED! People were talking though 90% of the concert, no one stood up----not even on the really jamming songs, it was driving me CRAZY to not just get up and dance! The songs that seemed to get the loudest cheers were the songs from "The Dance" -- Landslide, Silver Springs, Big Love. Landslide was really cool....the whole place sang along with Stevie and at the end of the song she went over to Lindsay and gave him a big hug and kiss! Overall, the band put on a great show....Lindsay is AMAZING on the guitar! I do wish that they had chosen some other songs from "Say You Will" to sing....I would have loved to see them do "Miranda" and "Illume 9/11". I really missed the vibe of the Philly audience : ( So I came home, did some searching and found two tickets to tonight's show in Philly! Tonight I'm on the floor and I'm taking my daughter....it will be her first FM concert!! We can't wait!!!!

Oh My God! Oh My God! Oh My GGGOOOODDD!!! Atlantic City was THE place to see Fleetwood Mac! I have seen them many times throughout the years, and it was one incredible party...the BEST ever! Can those boys PLAY!!!! Stevie was spinning SO fast during Stand Back, she could have flown off the stage! The crowd was nothing short of Orgasmic!! The sound and video were INCREDIBLE!!! Of course, everyone sang Landslide, which just sends chills up your spine! And when Lindsay kissed Stevie on top of the head after, I thought the place was going to come down!!! Then, for a brief second they looked at each other, and kissed right on the lips!!!! Just enough to get the die-hard fans FREAKING OUT because we get it!!! As hard as it may be to all get back and play together on stage again, they were nothing short of miraculous, and aside from the songs that we love and live by, they taught us alot more by displaying such an incredible act of teamwork and friendship! What a BAND!! What a NIGHT!!!!! Rock on Stevie, and may we all forever be caught up in the Mac Attack!!!!!!!

Sorry Stevie but LINDSEY stole the show !!!!!..... Even though the weather was damp and dreary in A.C., The Mac warmed things up at the Boardwalk Arena at 8:30 and got things off to a great start with the obligatory opener The Chain with Lindsey doing a great part on his guitar along with John McVie..... The Arena was packed and there were many older veterans like myself along with a crop of newer fans to keep Mac alive. Everyone was touched when Lindsey and Stevie came out holding hands and took control of things for the enjoyment of all.... Besides Gold Dust Woman & Rhiannon, Stevie rocked the house with her classic Landslide which is 20 times better than ther version done by that other group. Stevie also brought out her crowd pleasing Silver Springs, Beautiful Child, Stand Back (with gold lame shawl !), and Gypsy... Stevie also handled the sorely missed Christine Mc Vie's vocals quite well on World Turning and Don't Stop. The Mac compensated well for her absence especially with Mick's manic drum solo's and Lindsey's fantastic guitar work on I'm So Afraid and his show stopping Big Love ! Whatever vitamins Lindsey was taking before that show should be public knowledge because he packed a LOT of power in his performance that evening that brought down the house....OH YEAHHHHHH !!!! The Tunes off of Say You Will were well recieved as well. Stevie handled the title track like a newborn child and Lindsey brought out the full energy of Peacekeeper and What's The World Coming To with his signature stringwork. Still the Classic Mac tunes were what the crowd wanted to hear... Mick hollered out "Are Ya Still With Me ?" and copped a comic hand pose during his solo's on Tusk along with some great background visuals featuring the USC Trojan Band.... They came out for two more encores and Stevie set off a grand finale with her Goodbye Baby which was touching but not as powerful as her earlier work.... The Highlights for me were the great people I sat with in Section 105 which was 20' from the stage , the reaction to the Old Mac favourites and cheers when Stevie camoe out with Gypsy and Stand Back...The only downer were the overpriced tour merch items and the absence of a Tour Book which EVERY group puts out no matter how long or short the tour is..... So everything went well and I'm looking forward to their NJ Meadowlands Show at the Continental Arena on May 25th !!!! SEE YOU THERE !!!!

The concert was a total blast. Stevie was at her best, Lindsay totally jammed - he is one of the greatest guitarists of all times. My fingers were bleeding just watching him play. I was really happy that Mick played his drum vest - wasn't expecting to see that again - saw him do that in my first Mac concert back in the early 90's and have been mesmerized by his drumming ever since. Stevie rocked the house with so many numbers - Stand Back was superb. She seemed very happy, content and at ease. Of course, she looked great too. One of her best performances ever. She changed her shawls several times throughout the show. I enjoyed every song, but expected to hear more cuts from Say You Will - there are so many great songs on that album. One of my favs is Say Goodbye - and when Stevie and Lindsay sang it, the way they looked into one another's eyes, made my eyes swell with tears. He had so much emotion in his words, passion in his voice and caring eyes that I just couldn't help but get a chill down my spine. I wish I could have frozen that moment forever.

Atlantic City 5/17/03 - Boardwalk I've never been as awestruck over a concert performance as I was tonight in Atlantic City. I never thought any performance could possibly top the Tusk Tour; it did and is, by far, the most powerful, stunning and brilliant delivery of a masterfully compiled set list yet. Performance does not get any better than this!!! What a rocker!!! I took my Dad to the show for his 70th birthday (we are "Jackie and Her Dad" from Stevie's Fan Club show on VH-1) and this was his very first Fleetwood Mac live concert experience. He is not only spellbound but believes this was rock music at its finest; a rock concert masterpiece. Stevie's energy and enthusiasm permeated through the entire crowd with all of her amazing facial expressions and beauty - we even got an 8 or 9 twirl frenzy in the middle of Stand Back ~ WOW ~ while Lindsey brought the house down on more than one occasion and made me cry through his absolutely perfected and genius delivery on I'm So Afraid. Anyone could see that Mick is in heaven while behind those drums - kinda like a 5 year old boy with a plethora of ice cream cones in front him - licking his lips and all..LOL…and John, the ever consistent rock of this band with solid bass and fluid continuity. Highlights of the evening include the two huge Lindsey-Stevie smooches and the way he held her hand while escorting her safely to her mic each time she walked on stage - the love between those two can be felt for miles - even eternity I think!!! And, after the final encore, Goodbye Baby, the band takes a bow and proceeds to leave the stage when Stevie's shawl gets caught in the mic stand and pulls her back…so she does this most adorable karate chop with the mic stand and then walks off….toooo cute!!! The party is not over yet! We have tickets for the Monday night show as well at the First Union Center in Philadelphia and we cannot wait to see this again just to make sure it's real and we weren't dreaming because only in dreams does it get this good…really really good!!! Thank you, Fleetwood Mac, for the time of our lives and a most memorable 70th birthday celebration for my Dad!

Wow...The best concert I have ever been to.They should be so proud of the performance they gave us last night... Stevie looked beautiful ...Thanks for a great night.... it was totally awesome....

Alan Tobin
This was by far the best performance in the 39 Stevie shows I have ever seen. Her voice was crisp. She rocked out on all her songs. Rhiannon, Gold Dust Woman, Landslide had the crowd going. The crowd sang Landslide with her and she seemed to be very touched. I have never seen Lindsey's guitar playing better even if he missed a chord on Landslide. The Boardwalk Hall seemed to be a sellout. I sat next to two people who while fan's of Stevie's for the longest time never was able to see her live. The only disappointment was that she didn't sing more songs from Say You Will, especially Illume. The people around me agreed that it is their favorite song off of the CD, especially since her first concert after 9/11 was in Atlantic City. I hope The Mac reconsiders and plays this song in Nassau Coliseum and The Meadowlands in the coming week. Ever since I heard Rhiannon Live I always thought that it would be my favorite song forever, however, since I was affected by 9/11 I can't see how Illume could ever be outdone. It is the most haunting and healing song I have ever heard. THANKS STEVIE!

Saw the Atlantic City show last night,thought it was a very good show. Stevie was incredible,amazing. She sounded great.I really enjoyed "Beautiful Child",it was a pleasent surprise. I went with my friends Tom and Tara. Tara is a huge fan,Tom simply was there for the ride but kept remarking how great Stevie sounded.I know he enjoyed the show and most likely spent all of Sunday listening to Tara's cds. We also enjoyed Lindsey sporting his v-neck Hahnes undershirt,it was pretty funny. I am now waiting for the next Stevie album and tour,I know it will be awhile but she proved last night she is truely the queen and I would love to see another solo tour. Rock on Gold Dust Woman.

Stevie's been around since before I was born. I'm one of the younger Mac and Stevie fans (24). Words can hardly express my feelings after last night's concert at the Boardwalk Hall Arena in Atlantic City NJ. My boyfriend and I drove from Philadelphia and made it to our seats five minutes before the Mac took the stage. They opened with the Chain which was absolutely perfect. They looked wonderful and sounded even better! I must say the Mac concert was better than the solo Stevie concerts I saw in 2001 for the Shangri La tour. Lindsay went through quite a few guitars....he was jamming!!!! Mick's faces during the drumming were absolutely nuts!!! Gotta love that guy. John McVie was superb. And of course, our Lady, Stevie was in the finest form. Her voice echoed through the arena with such power. Lindsay and Stevie flirted a few times...how sweet it was to see. Lindsay kissed Stevie on the forehead - then on the lips!!! (only for a second, but still!!!!!). Highlights were - Rhiannon, Landslide, Gold Dust Woman, Beautiful Child ( anyone not familar with this song, get familar with it - it's beautiful), Stand Back, Go Your Own Way, Tusk. All the old and alot of new. I couldn't have asked for more. As I watched them on stage, I had a feeling that these people were destined to be doing exactly what they were doing at that moment, and I was so happy that I could see it. For the last two songs before the encores, they had the crowd out of their seats dancing, cheering, and singing. During Landslide, while Stevie belted out " Well I'm getting older, too" - she held her hands up to us, let out a soft giggle, and smiled - the crowd went crazy!!!!!! Mick did a ten minute solo act during " World Turning" and everyone loved it! Lindsay went "crazy" on his strings and it was a joy to be able to see that. It was two and a half hours of nothing but pure fun with Fleetwood Mac. Stevie electrified the crowd with " Stand Back" and her signature kick. Not one person was sitting!!!! I love Stevie and always will. After the concert, we decided to go to the casinos for a while. We left Atlantic City at 2am and we ended up smack in between two tractor trailers carrying stage equipment, and two tour buses!!!! We followed them all the way from Atlantic City to Philly (where the Mac will play May 19th), through Center City, then we pulled behind them in the hotel drive in. I was soooo excited I thought my heart was going to pound right out of my chest. I grabbed my Say You Will cd and rippped out the lyrics so I could get Stevie to sign it for me. Me and my boyfriend jumped out of the car - ran to the bus - and came to find out that it was only Stevie's crew members!! I was soooo disappointed. But nevertheless, Stevie made my night as she has for many years. Rock on Gold Dust Woman!!!!!! Goodbye Baby!!!!!!

I saw the Mac show last night in Atlantic City, NJ. The show was incredible. This was my fifth Fleetwood Mac concert. I had seen them before on the Behind The Mask Tour, twice with the Time lineup, and once on The Dance tour. I can honestly say that this was the best performance that I have seen them do. The set list consisted of (not in order of performance) Rhiannon, World Turning, I'm So Afraid, Landslide, The Chain, Dreams, Second Hand News, Never Going Back Again, Gold Dust Woman, Go Your Own Way, Don't Stop, Silver Springs, Tusk, Beautiful Child, Gypsy, Eyes Of The World, Big Love, Stand Back, Peacekeeper, Say You Will, Come, What's The World Coming To, Say Goodbye & Goodbye Baby. Lindsey's guitar playing seemingly get's better with age. He blew the roof off the place with "Come", "I'm So Afraid" and "Go Your Own Way". His acoustic rendition of "Big Love" is still exciting and powerful. Stevie was also having a great night. "Beautiful Child" is a wonderful gem and it is long overdue for a concert performance (well worth the wait). "Silver Springs" is just as special as it was during the Dance tour. Mick and John are the perfect rhythem section to compliment the Buckingham Nicks fronting. I did miss Christine and her always classy performance, but then I may not have heard as many of Lindsey's and Stevie's material as I did. The most impressive thing that I saw was the excitement in Lindsey's music. I was fortunate to see him on his solo tour in 1993 in Philly and it seems that he has recaptured that excitement. This is a "Don't Miss" tour. I have tickets to next Sunday's show in the Continental Airlines Arena and I can't wait!

I saw Fleetwoodmac in Atlantic city on 5/17 in the Boardwalk Hall. And they were out of this world. They sounded great. . John was in his own world. Mick was a animal on his drums.Lindsey was a crazy man on guitar And Steve was as good as she can get.It was a great show.never wated them to stop.( Dont Stop)!! I must say they sure did rock. I would see them tonight if they were playing .

Tracy Jones
Had a great time at the AC show last night. Was a bit disappointed at the start because a lot of "non fan club" people had better seats than me but I decided to live with it and enjoy the show. Luckily, a friend of mine who works on the Boardwalk Hall road crew found me and brought me up front for the encore. AWESOME! What a great show!!! I've seen the Mac so many times so I especially enjoyed the new songs and BEAUTIFUL CHILD. Stevie said she never thought she would play it live and neither did I. Of course, I cried! Also, loved the kiss Lindsey planted on Stevie following Landslide. I've seen many hugs but don't think I've ever seen a kiss! Very Cute! I also really enjoyed Stevie doing Christine's parts in World Turning and Don't Stop! Very Different, Very Cool!!! I miss Chris, but love that Stevie and Lindsey get more time and more songs. Following the show, I waited near their limos with two other fans and met and spoke with Brett. He's a sweetheart. John walked by and didn't even wave. Then came the highlight of my night, a picture with Lindsey!!! Mick walked by quickly with a towel over his head and now the bummer of the night...Stevie got into her limo inside the building. (I did meet her dog :-) We tried to get her to wave to us as her limo went by but to no avail. Mick waved and gave us the thumbs up from his limo...YEAH BABY!!! All in all, a great night. Looking forward to tomorrow's Philly show and next week in the Meadowlands!!! Thanks for all of the reviews, I knew exactly what to expect at the show!!! LONG LIVE FLEETWOOD MAC!!!

Donna
The show was incredible. Their energy was contagious. Stevie and Lindsey's voices were great and the music was loud and rocking. If I had to pick favorites, I'd say the highlights for me were: Stand Back, Come, Silver Springs, Tusk, Gold Dust Woman, Go Your Own Way, Landslide and Beautiful Child. Second Hand News was great because I didn't expect to hear it. It wasn't listed in the set list on this site. There will be much talk about the Stevie/Lindsey kiss after Landslide. Lindsey planted one on Stevie's lips after looking down at her for a few seconds.She looked like she didn't expect it. It was an awesome sight to see for those of us that know their history. Mick's drum solos were great and all of Lindsey' guitar solos were out of this world. The crowd was loving him when he went wild on his solos. Stevie looked like she was enjoying herself and she looked great. I can't wait to see them again in Phila. tomorrow night.

I left my first Fleetwood Mac concert last night realizing I had just seen a huge magical part of musical history. I have been to quite a few concerts and I can say that the energy that came from them last night was like no other I have seen in any band. The show started a little late, I'm thinking they were behind schedule as it was for whatever reason and people were coming into the venue late (probably due to the traffic and parking situation in Atlantic City) It took me and my boyfriend 45 minutes to find a parking spot. When they finally came on stage, they of course opened with the chain in full blast. Stevie looked beautiful as always with her aura of magicalness surrounding her. Lindsey looked great and was *uber* as ever on that guitar of his, he even broke a string he was bashing it so much-awesome bass coming from mcvie and Mick was just as monsterous as ever on drums. I couldn't believe how many people they had extra on stage , the backup singers and also guitar perscussion and keyboards. The highlight of my night was Rhiannon-that song is a piece of the soundtrack of my life. Also, Stand back was the most amazing performance I have seen them do-I don't know if it was that there was more percussion being the extra drum set on stage or the keyboards -something was different but it was just amazing. Beautiful child could have brought tears to anyones eyes, Stevie sang it with so much feeling. Tusk was slamming, I loved the video in the background of them marching band to add to the effect since they weren't there. They ended the show with Don't stop, World turning and goodbye baby. World turning was just shamanistic with mick on his drum vest and hanging balls...the crowd loved it and I laughed so hard. He really brought a smile to my face, I love watching his facial expressions when he bangs those drums. When the end of the show came, mick reintroduced the entire stage and it was followed with a blessing from Mick and Stevie to "be good to one another and take care of yourselves, respect eachother". I left feeling like I was a part of Rock and Roll history and I will never forget that show. If you have never seens them before, you don't know what you are missing.

the sound system was terrible, i am a fleetwood mac fan since the 70's and always a Stevie Nicks fan forever..and the sound was horrible..I have never been to such a terrible sounding concert...i guess it was the atlantic city boardwalk arena!!!! I couldnt even enjoy Stevie's voice!!! Couldnt enjoy the trembling sound of Micks drums....I was in section 111, and all we heard was people talking in the arena? It sounded like the band was playing in mono tone????? Very unhappy fan...I am looking forward to the Meadowlands concert...in New Jersey

more reviews coming......
