Fleetwood Mac Start Filling In the Aussie Tour Gaps

Those dates between Fleetwood Mac shows have already started to fill in with new dates announced for Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne but Adelaide still left out.

Sydney and Melbourne now have three Fleetwood Mac shows. Brisbane’s second has also been announced.

This Fleetwood Mac tour will be musically different to previous Fleetwood Mac tours. The departure of Lindsay Buckingham has sent band creators and namesakes Mick Fleetwood and John McVie into putting together a setlist covering the 50 years of Fleetwood Mac, not just the Buckingham/Nick era they have been focused on for the last three decades.

The band is playing songs pre-1975 including ‘Tell Me All The Things You Do’ from 1970’s ‘Kiln House’ (last played in 1977 before this tour), 1971’s ‘Black Magic Woman’ (last played in 1987 before the tour and yes it is their song, Santana did a cover) as well as 1969’s ‘Oh Well’, the only old song they kept over the years.

In recognition of the addition of Neil Finn (Split Enz, Crowded House) and Mike Campbell (Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers), ‘I Got You’ (Split Enz), ‘Don’t Dream Its Over’ (Crowded House) and ‘Free Fallin’ (Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers) have also popped up throughout the current tour.
