CONCERT REVIEW: Fleetwood Mac

March 8, 2019 Boardwalk Hall, Atlantic City, NJ

Amazing, timeless, TOP of their game! AmaZing! DID I already say that.......?"

OPENING: The show began about 25 minutes later than the printed 8pm start time and the band launched into The Chain' and took us on a sweeping time machine journey of 21 songs and 40+ years. It was IN tune and AmaZing! Did I already say that?

Stevie Nicks was an ageless beauty of RoCK as was 75 year old vocalist/keyboardist Christine McVie! Talented ladies.


Band founder and anchor Mick Fleetwood continues to be the jet engine of the band, pacing the energy of the show and making our time machine a white knuckle affair! Fleetwood showed a youthful vigor and love for his art and career. His stage persona was invigorating and show stopping with drum solos and artist introductions. He IS a man who loves his audience and enjoys bringing his quality work to us!

Mike Campbell, the long time guitarist for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers was also a show-stopper with his timeless riffs to the popular songs! Free Falling, a Tom Petty classic, led a 3-song encore to finish the show! Stevie on vocals being led by Campbell was hair on my neck' raising! 

Great touch with the Peter Green penned Black Magic Woman. Made famous by Carlos Santana in 1971, the band recognized Green as one of the early Fleetwood Mac originals along with Fleetwood and bassist John McVie in the 1960's! Stevie Nicks played up her role as the Black magic woman' with cool, vampy vocals and flowing black lace! 

GREAT show! GREAT experience! Lindsey WHO?
