Rumours: The Ultimate Fleetwood Mac Tribute on Tour
Hop into a time machine and experience the energy, ecstasy, and pure rock ‘n' roll power of Fleetwood Mac in their heyday — or at least enjoy a carbon copy of them in the present. This is Rumours, the groovy quintet who've re-created the music and misadventures of Mick, John, Christine, Lindsey, and Stevie for the Ultimate Fleetwood Mac Tribute Show.?
The group — named after Fleetwood Mac's iconic 1977 album, of course — was formed in Los Angeles in 2012. They had a residency at L.A.'s famed Roxy Theatre on the Sunset Strip before appearing on the first season of AXS TV's The World's Greatest Tribute Bands in 2013. They've since taken their act on the road, thrilling fans of one of the most successful bands of all time with dead-on performances of classic tracks like "Landslide," "Rhiannon," "Don't Stop," and "Go Your Own Way."?
Rumours take it back to the Mac's most potent years, between 1975 and 1987, committing to the band's looks, styles, mannerisms, and even instruments and equipment. Ned Brower plays the band's irrepressible co-founder and drummer Mick Fleetwood, while Nic Johns slings the bass as John McVie, and Rebecca Fishman takes on the powerful singing and keyboard pounding of Christine McVie. Then there's Jesika Miller, who embodies the inimitable witchy vibes of Stevie Nicks, and Taylor Locke, who effortlessly steps into the shoes of Lindsey Buckingham, one of the greatest guitarists of all time.
The group has toured around much of the U.S. and Canada. They've also put together the show Don't Stop! The Musical Misadventures of Fleetwood Mac, which they perform occasionally in Los Angeles. The hilarious musical pays tribute to the band through song as well as reenactments of its members working through their well-documented relationship woes. Whether you catch the musical or a tribute show, Rumours is the next best thing to seeing the Mac in person — maybe even better, as it captures the rock icons in their most prolific years.
Great show with great voices. High energy and very entertaining and enjoyable. Glad I went.
would recommend, very entertaining. genesee theatre was a good place to see them.
I was very impressed with RUMOURS. The band was GREAT and I had a good time watching them play. I would definitely see them again, given the opportunity.
Absolutely loved the show. Would love to see them again. They brought such a great energy with their performance. Brought the crowd to their feet!
The artists were very good however the sound mixing was horrible. Way too much bass. Started the set with no mic to "Stevie"and didn't get much better from there. Very disappointed.
Very enjoyable show! They covered all the material and gave an excellent representation of the band members. 1 minor complaint, the vocals needed a little more volume at least where we we seated.
I've probably been to 30 concerts at the Genesee Theater over the years and I've never experienced the issue we did at this show. We almost always sit stage left in the lower part of the Loge section and that's where we were seated for this show. From the very first song where we all initially thought the singers microphones were turned off, we were just inundated with the overwhelming sound of the drums and bass. Like insanely overwhelming. In addition to the vocals being drowned out, the piano and lead guitar were also almost inaudible. At intermission I went and talked to the usher in our area and asked if he was experiencing the same thing, which he was. He also indicated that some bands bring their own mixers and that they were actually talking to this band's mixer because of the overwhelming bass and drums. After intermission, there was a little improvement for the first song but then it immediately went down the toilet again. It was obvious that others in the area we were in were experiencing the same issue. Very little applause and a lot of talk between individuals. Overall, the show was a massive disappointment because of the mixing. The solo performances with no bass or drums were the only palatable performances in the show. It was hard to work up the the gumption to applaud for an encore and the transition to encore was incredibly weird. When there were only 2 performers on stage doing Landslide, they left the stage like the show was over. Just a really weird transition.
One of the few cover bands I would pay too see again. Very talented.
Rumors put on an excellent show. Well worth the price of the ticket. Every bit as good as Fleetwood Mac them selves.
My family had a great time singing along with the band. The sounded amazing.
