IT'S been six years since their last world tour but it was like Fleetwood Mac had never been away as they rocked a packed SECC Glasgow.

IT'S been six years since their last world tour but it was like Fleetwood Mac had never been away as they rocked a packed SECC Glasgow.

The foursome are in the middle of a world tour which sees them travel to enough countries to make a band half their age exhausted.

Last night, their only Scottish date among seven UK stops, the band played a slew of greatest hits with energy defying their years.

During their history spanning more than 40 years, Mac have worked their way through an ever-changing line-up that saw them lose two guitarists to mental institutions and one to a cult.

Their current incarnation includes four members from 1977's Rumours tour; John McVie, drummer Mick Fleetwood, vocalist Stevie Nicks and guitarist Lindsey Buckingham.

Singer Christine McVie is the only one missing, having chosen retirement rather than touring with her ex-husband.

The group, now aged in their 60s, vowed they'd get the party started but they look (there's no nice way of putting it) old.

Nicks was in a witch-like lace dress while Mick Fleetwood's grey beard and ponytail make him look like a badly-ageing rocker.

Appearances aside, Fleetwood's drums are as powerful as ever and he even rocked out a 10-minute solo.

They were notorious for their rock'n'roll band bad behaviour in the 70s but when Linsey and Nicks took the stage holding hands it seemed old rivalries had gone.

But the emotional edge to their songs gives the hits their enduring power and stops Fleetwood Mac becoming jaded.

The crowd, who match the band in years, are beyond delighted with a fast-paced The Chain, an ethereal Rhiannon and a spine-tingling Big Love.

After a rousing version of Go Your Own Way, satisfied fans headed off into the night after a thrilling evening.
