Fleetwood Mac played to perfection during their 70th show on their “Say You Will” tour at Centennial Garden in October.

The audience was filled with Stevie Nicks look-alikes. I joined in and dressed in my “Steviest” attire. Walking onto the floor of the Garden gave me an immediate natural high. As you look up to the stage, the microphone was dressed to match its singer with flowing black streamers and deep red roses.

The band members — Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Nicks — are now in their 50s, but that has not stopped the voices, the drive and the vision. During the concert, the band performed several songs from their new album “Say You Will,” including their two singles “Peacekeeper” and “Say You Will,” which were amazing to hear live. They also broke out many of their classics, making the crowd go wild. “Go Your Own Way” and “Landslide” were definitely audience favorites as the fans tried to outsing the band.

What should have been an evening of great music turned into something unexpected as a few audience members, who appeared to be intoxicated, created their own show. As the song entitled “So Afraid” began, a couple to my right began “dirty dancing.” Their favorite move must have been when the man spanked his date, because they did this repeatedly. I must say, it left me “so afraid.”

The concert gained momentum with every note. As the song “Tusk” began from their 1979 album of the same name, the crowd cheered. Buckingham was the highlight of the song with his crazy, energetic antics. As the instrumental chorus repeated, Buckingham circled the stage, stopped to “tusk” McVie, then began a playful boxing match with Nicks, which ended in a crowd-pleasing hug. For anyone who knows the rocky love story of Nicks and Buckingham, this heartfelt hug was definitely refreshing. Following “Tusk” was one of Nicks’ solo hits, “Stand Back.” Nicks’ fans were elated with this unexpected performance.

One of the best parts of the concert was when the band stopped to talk to their fans. I felt welcomed and they seemed comfortable and content in the town of Bakersfield. Unfortunately, I was not seated close enough, but the fans in the first few rows were able to strum Buckingham’s guitar as he bent down toward the audience.

Awesome guitar solos from Buckingham and drum solos from Fleetwood followed. The energy from the performers was so strong, I felt tired when each song ended, but was easily reawakened by the liveliness of the next.

The show had no boring point. From the giant screen that projected old Fleetwood Mac videos and original art from Nicks, to the entertaining spins and dancing from the performers, the concert offered enough to keep fans’ interest.

When the band returned for two encores, it was a perfect ending to an excellent concert as each member said goodnight to the audience. As Fleetwood stepped up to the microphone, he asked the audience to take care of each other, and left with the words, “The Mac is back!”
