Fleetwood Mac Rocks Milwaukee!
It was two-and-a-half hours of pure bliss last night as Fleetwood Mac rocked the Bradley Center with a killer set.
The Mac isn’t promoting an album on the Unleashed Tour, so it was hit after hit for an adoring throng. Speaking of albums, Lindsey Buckingham strongly hinted at a new Fleetwood Mac record on the horizon.
The opening set a vibrant tone, with a romp through “Monday Morning” and a splendiferous “The Chain.” With the heavy emphasis on their two mid-70’s classic albums, I was instantly and joyfully transported back 30+ years in time.
“Dreams” featured the sultry spellbinding voice of Stevie Nicks, one of the few remaining rock and roll goddesses. At sixty-one, Stevie could easily pass for twenty years younger and her ability to mesmerize remains intact.
With a delicious balance between the ballads and rockers, Mac absolutely tore it up on “Second Hand News” and a short but explosive “Oh Well.” Lindsey Buckingham delivered his signature incredible guitar work throughout the night, most notably on an amazing “Big Love.”
Stevie and Lindsay gave us beautiful duets of “Landslide” and “Never Going Back Again,” and our lovefest continued with “Say You Love Me” and an all-time favorite, “Gold Dust Woman.” The set closed with a fiery pair in “Stand Back” and “Go Your Own Way” before we had a chance to catch our collective breath as the band left the stage.
The night came to a close with a pair of encores, beginning with the buoyant “World Turning” and “Don’t Stop.” When they came back one more time, it was a gorgeous “Silver Spring” that sent us home swaying.
Another groovy night as the rock & roll gods smiled on us once again…
