Saw them last night at the 02 at the dome.
A great performance but as some have said - big start, little bit flat, then big again.
Buckingham is an outstanding guitarist and the key band member for me.
We get that it's nice to have Christine back in the band but do we need to be reminded every 10 minutes...
A great night - although I would have liked to hear Oh Well they played all the other ones.
Somebody mentioned the 'hidden' drummer on another forum, but someone else then pointed out that on that occasion they did get a mention (Glasgow Hydro gig).A great performance but as some have said - big start, little bit flat, then big again.

I was there too. Mick Fleetwood's drumming was the stand out for me, he sounded pretty sharp.
I wonder if that's related to there being a second drummer hidden directly behind Mick's riser for some of the songs - I noticed they didn't get a mention when thanking the 'other' members of the band.gemini said:
It's back to Birmingham next week for us.
Round two!
Saw them last night at the Genting Arena; outstanding - absolutely superb performance and production.Round two!
They were several orders of magnitude better than the last tour when they merely 'performed' their back-catalogue. Last night was full of feeling, passion and a true love for the music. Buckingham's re-arrangement of 'Never Going Back Again' into a slowish ballad was a masterpiece, as was his extended version of 'Tusk'.
The final song of the night was Christine McVie's rendition of 'Songbird' which reduced me, my daughter and (I suspect) many members of the audience to tears; it was poignant, moving and supremely well done. She is 72 next week...
Truly a fantastic performance by a seminal rock band; one of the very best I've seen.

Saw the Leeds gig on the 5th, absolutely wonderful, they nailed it!
couple of my friends went said they were amazing....Leeds has sooo missed a great concert venue for so long and now we can say we are getting some of the top bands playing there at last!!!!
Although I'm not 100% sold on the PA system, seen a few gigs there with poor sound as I wasn't directly in front of the stage.

Fantastic gig in Birmingham tonight.
My only criticism is was Songbird the best choice to finish on? It's a wonderful song done beautifully by CM but I would have preferred to have finished on my feet rather than my backside.

Oh and I also wasn't particularly pleased with Mick Fleetwood's drum solo. Still all in all a fantastic gig, wish I could get to see them again.
He's a bit of a buffoon but it's hard to make a drum solo interesting. I thought his playing was quite good, nothing fancy but a good solid rock-drummer.
