And yet the increased energy level – and the addition of that whippersnapper Finn, who’s a baby of 60 – gave renewed strength to songs like “The Chain,” “Second Hand News” (which ironically begins with the lyrics “I know there’s nothing to say / Someone has taken my place”), “Everywhere,” “Gypsy,’’ “World Turning” and “Monday Morning.’’
The result is that everyone is feeding off everyone else, which is the way it works when a band is on a roll. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if a few new tunes – or even an album – came out of this incarnation.

This review brought up a lot of points I hadn't seen mentioned before. For example, the reasoning behind how Lindsey's departure allowed for a more diverse set list. And the lyric from Second Hand News- definitely a sense of irony that I'm sure conspiracy theorists will latch on to ("See- it IS a big F you to Lindsey" instead of the more obvious "it's a great song we love to perform.")
More importantly, even this reviewer thinks Fleetwood Mac might release a new album, or at least thinks they should. I do, too! I almost saw them in Cleveland instead of Columbus, but I've only got a few more days, and this latest review has me very excited!
