#a tribute to christine mcvie

When last we checked in on The Little Lies, summer was coming to a close as the band members embarked on their own individual projects and gigs for the remainder of the year.
Suffice it to say, the fall and winter months of 2022 were that much colder in the band's absence. And sadly, on November 30, Christine McVie passed away. A major creative force within Fleetwood Mac, she was and is an inspiration within The Little Lies and, for their first performance of 2023, the band's giving a proper Little Lies send-off to this famed musician, wonderful singer/songwriter, classic rock icon... this Friday night, January 27, 9pm at The Nectar Lounge in Fremont.
The band's traditional set will be expanded to include even more songs by Christine McVie that'll be covered by a local Who's Who of guest vocalists including Shaina Shepherd, Molly Sides, Kate Dinsmore, Kim West, and Kathy Moore & Jen Ayers of The Wild Rumours.
Less another Little Lies gig and definitely more an event... we're stoked to see the band again. It's been much, much too long since they dazzled on-stage last:
Miranda Zickler (lead vocals), Andrew Vait (lead vocals,.guitar), Linzy Collins (lead vocals, keys), Harry Wirth III (bass), and Cyra Wirth (drums).
Beyond friday, looks like we’re gonna see the band once again putting on their fun, high octane shows at the Fisherman’s Village Music Festival, Taste of Edmonds, and Everett’s Music at the Marina.
First things first, though. If you wanna experience the band’s upcoming show A Tribue to Christine McVie, just click right here.
Hope to see you there!

Christine McVie (1943-2022) wrote more Fleetwood Mac songs than anyone; was the heart and soul of a turbulent band
Christine McVie (1943-2022) wrote more Fleetwood Mac songs than anyone; was the heart and soul of a turbulent band #ChristineMcVie #tribute #FleetwoodMac #RIPChristineMcVie
(December 1, 2022). Christine Perfect wasn’t that. No one is.
She was perhaps as flawed as any one of the other past or present members of Fleetwood Mac, a band known as much for its dysfunction as it was for its iconic, generations-spanning catalogue of pop-rock classics.
Christine McVie (née Perfect) died Wednesday, November 30, 2022, of an undisclosed illness
But Perfect, whose name…

RIP Christine McVie
The singer-songwriter behind some of Fleetwood Mac’s biggest hits, passed away after a brief illness, according to her family. She was 79.
“On behalf of Christine McVie’s family, it is with a heavy heart we are informing you of Christine’s death. She passed away peacefully at hospital this morning, Wednesday, November 30th 2022,” the statement reads. “She was in the company of her family. We kindly ask that you respect their privacy at this extremely painful time, and we would like everyone to keep Christine in their hearts and remember the life of an incredible human being, and revered musician who was loved universally.”
Fleetwood Mac paid tribute to McVie in a statement:
“There are no words to describe our sadness at the passing of Christine McVie,” the band’s statement read. “She was truly one-of-a-kind, special and talented beyond measure. She was the best musician anyone could have in their band and the best friend anyone could have in their life.”

Long story short, we had a fantastic night at the Nectar Lounge Friday night, our first Little Lies concert of 2023.
Of course we had a fantastic night. We love this band.
It was, though, a bigger deal this time around. It was the band's tribute to and send-off of Christine McVie who passed away at the end of last November. So the band not only performed their set of Fleetwood Mac classics, they devoted their second set to songs by Christine McVie featuring a Who's Who of local vocalists and one serious guitar shredder.
Molly Sides.
Shaina Shepherd.
Kim West.
Kate Dinsmore.
Jen Ayers.
And Kathy Moore.
Now the first thing that hit us about experiencing all these lead singers, one after the other on the same stage, is that we've had this experience before. It was the Rock Vault show in Las Vegas where lead singers and musicians from various classic rock bands perform songs by their own and other bands of the era. My point, though, is we similarly experienced a number of lead vocalists at that show. We observed how they present themselves and how they engage audiences. We got to compare personalities and styles and how we responded to each of them.
The same was true for us Friday night. Each lead vocalist's talent and skill is beyond question, of course. It's in the how of how they employed their talent and skill on-stage that sets each apart. It was a bit of a Master Class in fronting a rock band.
It was also an incredible and unique experience. And a genuine delight.
The second thing that hit us was how much fun everyone was having up there on stage. How much they genuinely embraced the experience.
This is not a small point, by the way. Because there's a joy in these songs, however classic they are. However much personal chaos produced them way back when. There is joy here. And The Little Lies experienced every last ounce of it.
And because they did...
We did.
And that is a gift, my friends.
The third thing that hit us, the last thing, actually, were the thoughtful moments in service of Christine McVie's memory.
To begin the tribute, Miranda Zickler read the words Stevie Nicks penned to her best friend, McVie, shortly after McVie's death.
In her note, Nicks writes: "one song has been swirling around in my head, over and over and over. I thought I might possibly get to sing it to her and so, I’m singing it to her now. I always knew I would need these words one day.”
The name of the song is "Hallelujah" by the band, Haim. Zickler and fellow Little Lies bandmate, Linzy Collins, then performed the song for the audience at the Nectar Lounge.
The lyrics, as Nicks suggests, are perfection to the moment.
From the third verse:
"I had a best friend but she has come to pass / One I wish I could see now / You always remind me that memories will last / These arms reach out / You were there to protect me like a shield / Long hair, running with me through the field / Everywhere, you’ve been with me all along,”
It was a superbly touching moment, a moment of solace and reflection, a moment of appreciation and remembrance, bringing us together in a public farewell which was then followed by guest vocalist after guest vocalist celebrating the music, songs, and performances of Christine McVie.
It was a big night. An important night. A letting go and a full embrace of a classic rock icon.
A heartfelt celebration.
Brought to life by The Little Lies... their friends on-stage...
And the fans of this music who came down to the Nectar Lounge one night in January to celebrate with them.
😊

Mick Fleetwood performed a Christine tribute at last nights Grammy Awards. He, Sheryl Crow and Bonnie Raitt did "Songbird" together, you can watch a video here. Christine actually won posthumous a Grammy for the orchestral version of the song "Songbird" from her 2022 album.
On the red carpet Mick said that Fleetwood Mac was over:
Fleetwood said he plans to still perform, but “not as Fleetwood Mac.” “I think right now, I truly think the line in the sand has been drawn with the loss of Chris,” Fleetwood said, referring to McVie. “I’d say we’re done, but then we’ve all said that before. It’s sort of unthinkable right now.” Fleetwood said he plans to still perform, but “not as Fleetwood Mac.” Fleetwood said surviving members of the band, past and present, are busy with other touring and performing duties, mentioning current members Stevie Nicks, Mike Campbell, Neil Finn and former member Lindsey Buckingham. “They all get out and play, so I’m gonna be doing the same thing, finding people to play with,” Fleetwood said.
I was expecting it but hearing him say it makes it very real and very definitive :(

...Listen to the wind blow, watch the sun rise,
Running in the shadows, damn your love, damn your lies... Fleetwood Mac, The Chain. (1977.)
My little tribute to mark the sad passing of Christine McVie in Nov ‘22... RIP.
I always think it’s funny how hard it is to imagine a song just by reading the lyrics, it’s hard when you know the song a little and almost impossible when you don’t know it at all. Today’s song is one that I have known for a long time although like many I had heard a part of it that for years I never knew was from another song... The music associated for so long with Formula One is actually the outro to this song! I can remember learning this fact when I was at high school and it’s still one of those fun things that so many people don’t know. :-)
The Photos are a “part 2″ of the last set, hope you enjoy them as much as I did making them. Cassi Xx :-)

Besties, can I show you my fave?
It’s from November 14, 2022 and it’s quoting Songbird by Fleetwood Mac, masterpiece by beloved Christine McVie. I ignored it at first because I thought it was a posthumous tribute, but she died weeks later and no one knew she was sick at this point, including her BFF Stevie Nicks.
This? Posted just before what was scheduled to be the final night on LA (about 24 hours before their publicists released the “OW-HS have parted ways” story).
And the conversation continues…
Who could you be talking about, Lighthouse Keeper? Not the woman you’re about to publicly cut loose.
This? Three weeks after Midnights is released. And we know he’s heard it (and Question..?) because he quotes THIS:
A few days before Harrywe’en. Not the UK usage of ‘cos here too. Which makes sense, for a resident of Eroda…
