2013 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 CSW Keswick Green

Fleetwood Mac.

Went to see this legendary band last night,...absolutely sensational.
Wifey asked me several months ago would I like to go, I said yes, on two conditions, firstly you buy the tickets (I can't stand the computerised ordering), and secondly, make sure you get good seats, VERY good seats.
So, Wifey gets on the phone & pays stupid money for two seats, just SIX rows from the front,... all good.
But last week, some paperwork arrived, & it it appeared that with these seats was included a "VIP" pre event dinner. We were not aware of this, & I said to karen that, "Yeah right, it'll be just maybe a beer & a sandwich" etc,....how wrong was I!!. We were asked to arrive a couple of hours before the show, and were ushered into this beautiful dining area,...MAGNIFICENT food, and unlimited alcohol, champagne, wine, spirits etc etc,...I LOVE my tucker & this was really good, & unexpected. Some lovely people there too. Then, about 10mins before showtime, we're taken down to our seats, & enjoyed a brilliant concert. Lindsay Buckingham was awesome, & Stevie Nicks has lost nothing over the years. The sound was brilliant, just as you'd imagine it,.....only better.
A brilliant evening, Pickles.

@ Pickles...

One of my all time favourite bands and it sounds like you had a once in a lifetime experience at their hands Martin...

Good to hear they are still on form too...

Rumours is still one of my all time favourite albums too...

Saw them in Forest National, Brussels, 12 June 1980. Still have the tickets.
The good old days we could go and see alive and kicking supergroups all over the place.

Nice that Stevie Nicks & co are still going strong today.

Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Wow Pickles! You lucky

I've followed this band since the their conception in the sixties with all there ups and downs and line up changes.. "Rumours" has still got to be one of the all time great albums.
Seriously envious

I started with nothing and still have most of it left!

2014 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Aintree Green

Sounds like a great night!

I was lucky enough to see them at the O2 arena in London a year or so back.

Lindsay Buckingham was awesome, his acoustic version of Big Love stays with me to this day!

He does seem to have an odd plucking/strumming technique but boy does it work for him

You are very lucky to have seen one of my all time fave bands.

Most people know Fleetwood Mac for their more modern stuff, I love the old blues era, some slow vibes and guitar that make the hairs on the back of yer neck stand up, 'Man of the World' has got to be one of my all time favourite tracks that does that.
Not many groups that can write 'em like that anymore - sadly.

Too right Lambley! I saw Mick Fleetwood a few years back and also Peter Green on his 'comeback' tour (although I'm not sure that he knew where he was) and I can even recall seeing Christine Perfect solo (as she was then) many, many years ago. Next to John Mayall's various line ups one of the best blues bands ever.
