Fleetwood Mac Hypnotized Live Chicago United Center Oct. 6th 2018

[@debbieedwards711]

Neil Finn sounds great doing this Bob Welch song. One of Fleetwood Mac best! RIP Bob Welch

[@forakermm]

Why isn’t the crowd going nuts?!? This is one of their best songs!!

[@alisadetwiler3404]

Exactly. Listening to that intro, immediately would've known it was "Hypnotized" and would've lost it.

[@garybackstrom183]

They don’t even know what this song is People are dumb these days They only know the hits Play them something from tusk and they will go to get a beer

[@KingCobra3849]

It's because Fleetwood Mac had left the pre Buckingham Nicks catalogue alone for so long, alot of newer Mac fans aren't familiar with it. That and alot of casual concert goers who are probably just familiar with Rumors and Tango In The Night.

[@jennifersman7990]

Because too many fans probably think their first album was Rumors

[@ericfaley9019]

Fleetwood Mac has had so many good songs. 1st gen Peter Green era, Bob Welsh era gen 2. Buckingham-Nicks gen 3, with Christine part of Gen 2 and 3 and all the interaction s after that. It’s ashamed that many people only know the Buckingham- Nicks era with all the interactions of that.

WOW! Fleetwood Mac hasn't performed this song since the 1975-1976 tour after Bob Welsh left the band. Bob Welsh performed it himself in concert as a solo artist. I'm glad Fleetwood Mac is giving him a shoutout and some KUDOS after ALL these years.

[@ugolastege5568]

What an underrated song. Very good live version of this wonderful song !

[@amerocker]

This is awesome! I will buy the concert dvd when it comes out. I hope this song is on it, "Hypnotized"!!!! The crowd doesn't seem to know this tune. It is one of my very favorite Fleetwood Mac songs. 😊

[@jakebarratt5652]

This is what fleetwood mac should be! The dark and mystic aesthetic and a fresh set list. Honestly, keep some of the hits, of course, but fans want to hear this great song and all the others that lie dormant.

[@jimcalzaretta1616]

many hated this line up because no LB. I love LB but he did not want to sing songs pre-BN. I loved the set list. I loved having this and Black Magic Woman included!

At the risk of aging myself, I came home late one night in 1974 after a little too much partying with my High School friends. Turned on WDVE FM radio and they played Hypnotized.. I've been a Fleetwood Mac fan ever since. But I have never heard Hypnotized live. I hope it is part of the setlist on this tour...

Neil Finn has a great voice and nice feel for the intricacies of a song.

so glad theyre honoring their RICH heritage and using their SUPERIOR new band members' abilities !!!

[@Gboz90]

martin smith let’s be honest all albums post rumours to tango would’ve sounded like a bag of shite without Lindsey’s creativity. This band is like a wet blanket without him

[@darkness_of_the_night]

@@Gboz90 You're right. There's no edge or passion now - only a way too nice and polished sound. Due to Neil Finn's light, friendly voice there is no contrast to the female vocals. That was one of the things that was great about the Rumours 5. The magic is gone.

[@mattdaugustine1582]

[@seejudyo]

Hope they keep this on the setlist for the Dallas show in February, one of my FM favs, was really hoping they would do this song.

[@blemelin]

As of Kansas City, this was dropped in favor of Gypsy. I thought it had a bad place in the set and would have done better somewhere else.

[@sandyferguson4794]

Love this song 🎶 and listen to it and other favorite songs from Fleetwood Mac’s early days that I’ve downloaded on my iPhone all of the time. I unexpectedly got to see them at a small theater in Santa Barbara at the end of 1971, a couple of years before this song was released. ❤️

[@markb3806]

Nice to hear some of the really old Fleetwood Mac songs. I was a little disappointed by Buckingham's departure but happy to see them revert to old stuff. Buckingham was never willing to play that material.

@@darkness_of_the_night 43 years ago, ok it's not never but cone on that's a long time ago.

[@michaelseay9783]

Darkness of the Night Yeah, and shortly after they “tried” Hypnotized, they dropped it off the set list like a hot potato because it was that bad.

[@markb3806]

Well yea, in the earliest year or two of the BN era of the Mac, but mostly out of necessity since they had not produced enough material of their own to fill out a set. After the first couple of years, the only song that made an occasional appearance was Oh Well.

[@markb3806]

I've also wondered why they played so little through the years of the songs that Christine McVie wrote before the BN era. She was still in the band after Stevie and Lindsey joined! Early on they played Spare Me a Little and Why but eventually dropped those. She had some great songs from the earlier days that were never played live to my knowledge; Did you Ever Love Me, Dissatisfied, Homeward Bound, Remember Me or any of her contributions to Future Games or Heroes are Hard to Find.

[@zentatonic]

Neil Finn killed it!! Voice as buttery as Bob Welch.

[@erintraynor1168]

It actually sounds like it could BE a Finn song, like off "One Nil".

[@brianherrington7226]

Neil does as far superior version of this than Lindsey did. Much closer to Bobs style.

[@darkness_of_the_night]

You're right. This is where Neil's strenght lies: in soft pop songs. (I like several of Neil's own songs.) ... But when it comes to Lindsey's OWN songs "Go Your Own Way" and "Second Hand News", plus Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain" (where Lindsey and Stevie used to share lead vocal duties), Neil comes short. Noone can sing (and play) those songs like Lindsey can.

[@zentatonic]

Agreed. I mean, he does them as much justice as anyone else would. But maybe those songs should be put aside. Linsdey's softer stuff might sound better. Songs like Tusk would come out great.

[@larciabella]

TOTALLY..............like a smoothie.

[@kevinbegin586]

This is great stuff!!!! I'd enjoy seeing this lineup. First time I went to a FM concert Rod Stewart and faces was the other band. St Paul Civic Center in the early 70s.

I was there. This is one of my favorite old time Mac songs. I was ecstatic. And yes...the crowd got quite...many most likely not familiar with the song, but they should keep it and the 3 others from the Peter Green days of the Mac. They are history and very meaningful to what made the Mac what it is.

Somewhere between lost and found is how I would describe in the band. He came in when they prob almost broke up and revive them but left before could truly enjoy it I think.

[@dogbarbill]

I agree. The crowd doesn't know this song. Probably due to being too young for most of them. Noticed how Mick slowed the pace of the tune as they got into it. Great tune from 1973. I still have the vinyl copy.

[@Wild1995]

Yes sad. That's why the song was dropped shortly after this was recorded. Most of the audience is there for Stevie which is sad

I couldn’t agree with you more ... Bob Welch is like an afterthought to the crowd, but Welch was definitely an underrated musician, that appeared to be unappreciated even by the group according to one interview with him.

Love Welch-Era. Great that they did this one. Too bad FwM left Welch out of their induction into the R&R HoF in 1998. What a travesty !!!!!

[@TheJohnnyCotts]

I'd love to know how they decide who gets in with a band induction. Sometimes they only induct the classic lineup, sometimes they induct everyone. When the Rolling Stones got inducted, they included Ian Stewart, a guy who wasn't officially a member of the band once they started making records. When the Grateful Dead were inducted, they included lyricist Robert Hunter. When the Moody Blues went in, they included Denny Laine (who was only on their first album, a record that too many don't even remember) but not Patrick Moraz. In the case of Fleetwood Mac, I can understand leaving out Bob Welch and Bob Weston, as that period (post-Peter Green, pre-Stevie Nicks) was their least successful era. They were barely selling enough records to keep their record deal.

[@gusmozart]

Great tune, and well sung by Neil Finn. It's a shame that Fleetwood Mac only played it 6 times, right at the beginning of their 2018-19 world tour. They made a lot of noise before they hit the road, about playing material from their entire career, but most of those earlier tunes fell out of the setlist as the tour went on. Unfortunately, the people paying big bucks to see them in giant venues want the big hits, and not songs from their past that they don't know, even if they are great. Sad.
