And “You Make Loving Fun” sounded just like you remember it from “Rumours.”īut “Never Going Back Again” was slowed a glacial pace, with Buckingham whispering the lyrics and enunciating every word to, frankly, a pretty creepy effect. Sure, they played “Go Your Own Way” (and played it quite well, backed by a four-piece band). The setlist included eight Fleetwood Mac songs (the same amount of songs they played from the new album), but they weren’t necessarily the songs people were expecting or played note-for-note, and that’s where the fun was to be found. Despite 40 percent of Fleetwood Mac being on hand, it wasn’t a Fleetwood Mac concert, and that freed Buckingham and McVie up to play what they wanted. People, of course, weren’t really there to hear the new songs anyway. And one, “Too Far Gone,” was a straight-out rocker with tribal drum breaks. Others - “Lay Down for Free,” “Love is Here to Stay” - were a lot poppier than you’d expect from the duo. A few of the songs - “Sleeping Around the Corner,” “Red Sun,” “Game of Pretend” - wouldn’t sound out of place on a Fleetwood Mac album. The two are touring behind an album they released earlier this year, “Lindsey Buckingham/Christine McVie,” that they put together during breaks with Fleetwood Mac. That’s kind of what their show Sunday night at the Times-Union Center was like, sometimes jaw-droppingly good, sometimes a little rough. ![]() Some of it has been glorious, some of it rocky. Christine McVie and Lindsey Buckingham have been bandmates in Fleetwood Mac off and on for better than four decades.
