If you include Brunning, then you have to include Nigel Watson, Doug Graves, and other temporary members.

We are never going to agree on this issue sadly
Brunning was a member hired with the understanding that if and when McVie left Mayall that he was out the door. That issue could have gone on for 3 months or 3 years.
As for Doug Graves, well we've been over this ground in another thread. Was he a temporary member, was he (at least by his own understanding) a permanent one.
Watson was hired solo for the tour (hell he wasn't even hired he kind of just tagged along with Peter)
