FLEETWOOD MAC
ADD SECOND LEG
OF DATES TO CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED TOUR
Due to the stunning success of the 40-city FLEETWOOD MAC tour this summer, the band has added a second leg of dates to their critically acclaimed tour. The new leg begins September 6 in Biloxi, MS with additional stops at New York City’s Madison Square Garden as well as return visits to Atlanta, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia and Washington, DC. The 2003 Fleetwood Mac tour is being nationally promoted by Concerts West, an AEG-Live company.
FLEETWOOD MAC’s two hour-plus show features material from the band’s current CD SAY YOU WILL (including the singles “Peacekeeper” and “Say You Will”) which debuted on the Billboard charts at #3 as well as band classics “Go Your Own Way,” “Landslide,” “Big Love” and “Don’t Stop.”
The group–America’s premiere rock and roll band which includes STEVIE NICKS, LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM and founding members MICK FLEETWOOD and JOHN McVIE–are receiving some of the best reviews of their long and extraordinary career:
“Reinvigorated and ravishing (in Nicks’ case) with renewed reason to exist…” Ben Wener, Orange County Register (7/14/03)
“The band’s tour is playing to packed houses and glowing notices across the country.” Sarah Rodman, BOSTON HERALD, (5/27/03)
“The band’s classic songs had worthy competition from the new ones. The six tracks offered from SAY YOU WILL stood as peers with those in the band’s catalogue. Buckingham’s playing underscored his role as one of rock’s most fast-fingered guitarists. In ‘Eyes Of The World’ his quicksilver lines had a giddy thrill.” Jim Farber, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS, (5/19/03)
“Nicks brought her usual sultry flair to songs like ‘Dreams,’ ‘Gyspy’ and ‘Gold Dust Woman,’ and closed the show with a sweet version of the SAY YOU WILL ballad, ‘Goodbye Baby.’ But she showed a more steely, determined side when numbers like ‘Silver Springs’ and ‘Stand Back’ called for it…” Jay Lustig, NEWARK STAR-LEDGER, (5/27/03)
