They say “anything is possible in New York City” and today, I’m quite certain it’s true! It has been sixteen years since the entire group of the Fleetwood Mac band have performed together! Sixteen years! Christine McVie (singer and keyboardist) returned to join Stevie Nicks, Mick Fleetwood, Lindsey Buckingham and John McVie for a Today Show concert in Rockefeller Center! I’ve always wanted to see Fleetwood Mac in concert after discovering their albums Rumours (1977), Fleetwood Mac (1975) and Fleetwood Mac: Greatest Hits (1988) and after a Tom Petty concert when his surprise guest for the duet song ‘Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around’ was none other than….Stevie Nicks!!!
Loyal Fleetwood fans arrived before dawn to grab a spot in line–some camped out overnight, others took off work, some let their children stay out of school and several tourists even planned their entire trip around the concert! Despite the chilly temps and early wake up call, the crowd was full of energy and excitement!
The concert was soooo good! Stevie Nicks was shaking her tambourine and Lindsey Buckingham was killin’ it on the guitar! Fleetwood Mac played four classic hits starting with ‘The Chain’, ‘Little Lies”, ‘Gypsy,” and ‘Go Your Own Way’ and everyone knew every. single. verse. There was symbolism in their song choice ‘The Chain’ in reference to Christine McVie’s return and despite the odds, the chain can not be broken. Best of all, Mick Fleetwood announced that Fleetwood Mac is officially touring and will continue the tour through 2015!
