Fleetwood Mac - The Chain

This is how the show began. I waited decades to see them & it was a dream come true! This is from their wildly popular album, Rumours, circa 1977 & still going strong today

3/18 #FleetwoodMac #COVID19 #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli

Fleetwood Mac - Little Lies

Christine McVie sings this classic from the late 80's album, Tango In The Night

4/18 #FleetwoodMac #COVID19 #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli

Fleetwood Mac - Dreams

Stevie Nicks sings a few parts a bit lower because she became ill on the road & the concert was delayed by 6 months. She came back strong & rocked it for Toronto. Bless her ♥

Fleetwood Mac - Second Hand News

Shake your tambourines! Another hit from their most successful album, Rumours

6/18 #FleetwoodMac #COVID19 #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli

Fleetwood Mac - World Turning (extended)

DON'T MISS the incredible drum solo by Mick Fleetwood & the bongo musician! They really get the crowd going

7/18 #FleetwoodMac #COVID19 #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli

Fleetwood Mac - Gypsy

Neil Finn (of Crowded House) & Mike Campbell (of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers) fit right in with Stevie Nicks. This stage is pure rock-n-roll royalty, even without Lindsey

8/18 #FleetwoodMac #COVID19 #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli

Fleetwood Mac - Oh Well

In a show of respect & nod to their roots, they play this hit from the days of Peter Green, circa 1969. It's a gem for any superfans

9/18 #FleetwoodMac #COVID19 #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli

Fleetwood Mac - Man Of The World

This is also from Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, circa 1969

10/18 #FleetwoodMac #COVID19 #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli

Fleetwood Mac - Don't Dream It's Over (duet)

This was a very special moment. Stevie Nicks joins Neil Finn in a duet version of this Crowded House classic. The ambiance is absolutely beautiful

11/18 #FleetwoodMac #COVID19 #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli

Fleetwood Mac - Landslide

It's one of the top ten rock ballads of all time & the song every woman in that sold out audience was waiting for. Stevie Nicks, accompanied by Neil Finn ♥

12/18 #FleetwoodMac #COVID19 #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli

Fleetwood Mac - Hold Me

From the 80's era, Christine McVie leads with keys & vocals & Mike Campbell (of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers) covers the iconic guitar solo note for note

13/18 #FleetwoodMac #COVID19 #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli

Fleetwood Mac - You Make Loving Fun

Back to the 70's for another hit from the album Rumours, written & sung by Christine McVie. Sorry for a few wobbles (explained in post #1)

14/18 #FleetwoodMac #COVID19 #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli

Fleetwood Mac - Gold Dust Woman (extended)

This was special & Stevie Nicks dedicated it to her mentor who was in the audience that night. She also dances & grooves to the psychedelic extended jam

15/18 #FleetwoodMac #COVID19 #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli

Fleetwood Mac - Go Your Own Way

Stevie Nicks, Neil Finn & Mike Campbell came to the side stage to wave & play directly for us. The energy was incredible & it's the last song before a double encore

16/18 #FleetwoodMac #COVID19 #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli

Fleetwood Mac - Free Fallin'

It's a moving tribute to Tom Petty (RIP) & a nod to Mike Campbell for joining the band, sung by Stevie Nicks to a montage of photos featuring her dearly departed friend

17/18 #FleetwoodMac #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli

Fleetwood Mac - Don't Stop

Perhaps a candidate for the #COVID19 #lockdown theme song, to keep everyone's spirits up. And thanks to John McVie for the bass lines that held everything together #StandingOvation

18/18 #FleetwoodMac #COVID19 #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli

Here's a link to all these clips in a Fleetwood Mac playlist, that you can cast to an entertainment centre & kind of feel like being there

Happy Easter weekend. Stay home & stay safe #InThisTogether
