I think reactions to the segment (which was even shorter than I expected it to be) will vary depending upon one's level of anger at the Lindsey situation. Content-wise it was exactly as I expected it to be (nothing revealed).
My initial reaction: man these guys are OLD. (Love them all, but father time catches up with everyone...) From that aspect I can see why they weren't going to wait for Lindsey. Particularly when word of a big Fleetwood Mac tour in 2018 has been out there for more than a year.
My impression of the try-out for vocalist part was that they brought two people in and (not shockingly) aren't revealing the name of the one they didn't choose. (I was only half-paying attention, though.) Was the interviewer the one to bring it up? I know the band talked about discussing different singers from 27 to 65; probably should have left it at that without mentioning they brought someone else in.
I have to admit that while not what I had been expecting from FM, the clip of Neil's live Don't Dream It's Over got my attention. I hope they include that in the set. (Saying that as someone who has no knowledge of him or familiarity with his songs beyond the couple that were hits in the US years ago.)
And I still love Mike Campbell. Though I won't be sorry if they drop ticket prices a bit because of the lack of Lindsey. |
Agree about the Stevie thing. She has either shortened or not toured at all several times for FM. So, putting this on her is just weak. I recall when they toured without Stevie of Lindsey. And I recall complaints that Buckingham always took forever to do an album. Wanting redo after redo after redo of songs. So, go your own way, Lindsey. Ya'll aren't getting younger.
