If you’ve ever wanted the Rumours years, the Peter Green blues, and a September night under the lights without the arena ticket, Chesterfield Amphitheater has the move. On Friday, September 11, the venue presents Big Love—The Ultimate Fleetwood Mac Experience, a St. Louis band that has been living inside this catalog since 2014 and knows exactly what the songs are supposed to feel like.
Doors at 6 p.m. Music at 7. 631 Veterans Place Drive, Central Park, Chesterfield. All ages. Bring a chair or a blanket. The amphitheater does not rent lawn chairs, and the only reserved real estate is the green stadium-style seating in front of the stage. Everywhere else is general admission: lawn and standing pit.
Advance tickets are $20 GA and $25 reserved through 11:59 p.m. September 10. After that it’s $25 and $30. A four-pack of GA lawn tickets is $60 while it lasts. Food trucks will be rolling. Full details and tickets.
Big Love isn’t a karaoke lineup in Stevie wigs. These are some of St. Louis’ top players, and the set is built as a trip through every era that matters: Peter Green’s bite on “Black Magic Woman,” the ache of “Landslide” and “Dreams,” the snap of “The Chain,” then the windows-down run of “Go Your Own Way,” “Don’t Stop,” “Gypsy,” “Everywhere,” “Say You Love Me,” and “Rhiannon.” That’s the point of the night. One band, the whole map.
They already proved this room loves them. Last September the lawn sang every chorus back. This time the date is Friday the 11th, the tickets are still cheap, and the songs still hit. If you know the records, you’ll hear them played right. If you only know the radio hits, you’ll leave knowing why people still lose their minds over this band.
