Though most of their success came in the 1970s with albums like Fleetwood Mac and Rumors, they have managed to sustain a large following of passionate fans throughout the years of their existence; fans that will surely pack the Mellon Arena this Saturday for their performance.

This tour, unlike most Fleetwood Mac tours of late, is in support of a studio album ? the first of theirs in 15 years. In fact, Say You Will, which was released last month on Reprise Records, is also the Mac?s first venture sans Christine McVie, who is one of the band?s founding members.

Instead, songwriters Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham spearhead the new album equally, each contributing nine songs to a lengthy eighteen-track record.

Over the years, an astounding 17 different people have rotated in and out of the band but, this time around, the band is comprised of Nicks, Buckingham, John McVie, and Mick Fleetwood. Despite much dismemberment over time, it seems as though the band has been able to put aside personal problems in order to focus on their music during this reunion.

Fortunately for you, the fans, this will surely transfer to their live performance. If you can scrounge up the dough, be sure to make it out on Saturday to enjoy one of the most celebrated bands in the history of rock.
