Welcoming the audience, organizer Austin Scaggs, who played bass in the show’s 10-piece house band, said proudly that he’d assembled more women than at other Best Fest gigs, thanks to the lure of Fleetwood Mac’s two female songwriters, Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie.Īnd, indeed, the concert had an encouraging sprawl of voices and approaches that reflected the veteran group’s wide appeal (not to mention its recent resurgence as a hipster touchstone).Īnd Juliette Lewis, wearing a skintight yellow bodysuit, was somehow both funny and scary at once as she prowled the stage, whipping her long hair in time to Nicks’ commanding solo hit “Stand Back.” (Lewis wasn’t the only moonlighting actor on the bill Danny Masterson strapped on a guitar for “Second Hand News,” while Will Forte played Petty to Karen Elson’s Nicks in a crunchy rendition of “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around.”) See more of Entertainment’s top stories on Facebook > Ticket proceeds went to Sweet Relief and the Sweet Stuff, charity groups dedicated to helping musicians with health problems. The occasion was opening night of Fleetwood Mac Fest, a two-part celebration presented by the Best Fest organization, which has put on similar events honoring classic-rock heroes like Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and the Rolling Stones. Shimmering pop tunes, bluesy rock stomps and folky intimations of the occult: Every aspect of Fleetwood Mac’s multifaceted sound was represented when more than two dozen artists - including Courtney Love, Mark Ronson and Carly Rae Jepsen - gathered Tuesday at the Fonda Theatre to pay tribute to one of music’s most famously complicated acts.
