The Rumours are true: Fleetwood Mac will be joined by Christine McVie for their 2014 world tour, and the band is just as excited about it as their fans. Lincoln Nebraska deserves more than a second-rate memory concert and so does Fleetwood Mac. I just came away with the feeling it could have been so much better with real sound, cameras zooming closer than full-body shots, lack of drum solos and unfamiliar song fillers, maybe costume changes and single spotlight solos, some honest effort to re-live the impact of the body of work, the emotion of the balads and the history we all have shared with and through the group. You wonder if the tour is just trying to maximize profit, denying Lindsay Buckingham for a sub and an amateur production director with irrelevant videos and lack of buildup for big hits.

Garth Brooks at the same arena filled the space so that you could feel the sound in the way one should expect at a decent concert.

The sound mixer did little to overcome vocals echoing over music. I don't know whose responsibility it is to provide audio equipment, but the lack of speakers away from the stage made it seem like you were listening to a band at the back of a bar. The 'show' put on at Pinnacle Bank arena did not do justice to the bountiful legacy of an icon, or the hefty price levied for what seemed to be an impersonator production.
