Quite agree on the poor sound quality.
I was so disappointed I left - couldn't see the point of listening to something that was mixed like a band in the local pub. Appalling quality. What a waste!
I couldn't agree more. We were in the upper tiers, and some tracks sounded awful. Rhiannon was awful. It sounded as though there was a pre-recorded backing track playing out of sync. Luckily there was plenty that sounded wonderful -- Lindsey's guitar solos were fantastic -- I'm so afraid, Oh well, Tusk. And Gold Dust Woman, for example, all sounded ace. But I felt uncomfortable about the mix. Yes, the vocals were far too quiet. No, I couldn't hear any keyboards either.

I enjoyed my night watching one of the worlds greatest bands but my comments are reflected by what I heard.
The band were great as usual but the sound engineer should have been sacked. I was in the upper area of the MAN Arena and there was a bass boom going on throughout most of the concert when the whole band was in full flight. The vocals were at times well below the level of the band and I would have loved to have heard more vocals. The keyboards were never in the mix and at times the whole sound seemd disjointed.
When Mick was doing his drum solo I could not hear or understand a word of what he was saying as it was garbled and his mike only cleared up later when he introduced the band members.
Once again I have to say thet the Band were great and everything you would expect from a bunch of expert musicians such as Fleetwood Mac but please change your sound engineer because as good as a band plays it is down to the guy on the desk to pull the whole thing together.

This song is a wonderful explanation of moving on from a loss in a relationship or from doing things we should'nt be doing,you do have to grab both cheeks and pick up the pieces and go on.Keep Rocking Us!!!!Scotto
Wow! This performance is ranked very high on the kick butt factor.
Very intense, very dramatic and done so very well.
