When Lindsey Buckingham took over the band, they became something very special, in fact a rock myth.

Well being of a certain age,I can`t recall any blues albums of that time which featured the likes of "Oh Well", "Green Manalishi" or even "Man of the World".
Buckingham was a very different type of guitar player and in that era, Mac had 3 established songwriters, Buckingham, Christine McVie and Stevie Nicks.
In no way was this Mac Lindsey Buckingham`s band.
He was/is a very talented guitarist, but put it this way.
Without Peter Green, Fleetwood Mac would not have existed.

Was looking for a place to post this question and this seemed like the most obvious thread...

So Fleetwood Mac announced their 2013 tour dates and it turns out they're playing by where I live. I was thinking of getting tickets for my dad and I since he always loved Fleetwood Mac but never got to see them. I know their live album in 1997 was great but that was 15 years ago and are they still worth seeing live today?
