I'm glad she's doing rare material (particularly from an era in which she could write a concise, non-rambly song), but this video made me think that the endless talking before songs is to do with her feeling that she needs to compensate for not being able to sing them as well as she'd like. She wants to deliver powerful entertainment but can't show off on the guitar like Lindsey or the other musicians, so we get these hyperbolic and inspirational sermons instead. (So hyperbolic that we end up with mistruths like BN not being toured at all, as bombaysaffires notes.)
I'm just surprised that she seems to have no compunction endlessly mentioning the name Buckingham, let alone that album. I had formed the impression that she currently feels so traumatised by Lindsey and the album cover that she can't stand the sight of him and would just as soon refer to it obliquely as "a duet album from before Fleetwood Mac" or something, rather than keep saying "Buckingham" on end. Maybe there is a mellowing in progress, or maybe I misunderstood her mental state about everything.
