Fans have given overwhelming glowing praise to Fleetwood Mac's show at London's O2 Arena last night (Tuesday 24 September).
The legendary rock icons kicked off the first of their three night residency at the venue, opening with the fan favourite 'Second Hand News' before blazing through a further 22 classic rock anthems.
Following the show, fans took to Twitter to give their reaction:
Fleetwood Mac was a strange show. Exquisite, but strange. My brain feels in a different space this morning. Not in a bad way.A different way

Fleetwood mac was amazing! 45 years later still going strong selling out a world tour that's what you call a band!

So, no Christine McVie last night, but Fleetwood Mac were incredible. 3 hour greatest hits set with some new and less well known surprises.

Fleetwood Mac impressively vibrant last night, Lindsey Buckingham providing the musical glue throughout the performance

However, while the gig was mainly met with praise, some fans did have some criticisms of the gig (albeit very mild).
Absolutely agonised over star rating for Fleetwood Mac. First 70 mins was five star. But late sag in set was so noticeable.

Only disappointment last night at Fleetwood Mac was that they didn't play Everywhere. One of my favourites :-(

Fleetwood Mac live in London last night
Speaking to Gigwise about their hotly-anticipated UK tour, the band confirmed that McVie would be making an appearance at their London dates.
"I think she's going to come and do the last two shows in London," said drummer Mick Fleetwood. "It's going to be great - Christine's music is so much part of Fleetwood Mac. She's been gone now for many, many years and she's like my sister.
"We're going to make her feel comfortable and have fun and I think people will love it. She's always honoured by the nature of her songs and the depth of that. When she decided to leave 14 or 16 years ago, we were sad and thought that maybe she'd come back, but she made that choice."
He continued: "A lot of people are saying 'is she going to come back?' and the answer to that is that she would be welcome, but that would be her choice. We will see. At some point we're going to knock it on the head, I'm not sure when, but in that context it would be something that would be entertained."
Frontwoman Stevie Nicks added: "She's coming to do two nights here and probably do 'Don't Stop'. I'm not sure, but she's coming to Dublin to rehearse whatever song she's going to do. We never wanted her to leave, so for us it's amazing that she is going to come."
