There really wasn't anything to promote, though. They only had one new song out at the time, "Blow By Blow" from "Soccer Rocks The Globe," which they DID play at the shows. I'd agree if people could have bought new material. As it was, the last time I saw that version of the band, they encored with "Dreamin' The Dream," and I was frustrated that I had to wait like two months to get it on CD.

They just played what the audience wanted to hear, except that none of the original writers-Singers were there.

Except the Dave Mason stuff. Actually, Mike Finnigan (CSN's keyboardist and keyboardist for the Dave Mason Band) came out and sang harmonies on "We Just Disagree," which made it very close to the original. I also liked that they turned "Only You Know & I Know" into a Dave/Bekka duet. Yes, Dave has his version, but her folks also recorded it.

They should have played the TIME songs and three hits.

Again, that album was released after they stopped touring. What would have been the point? Now, where I agree is that they should have maybe had one or two of Billy's "Behind The Mask" songs (i.e. In The Back Of My Mind and When The Sun Goes Down). But, even then, they typically only had ten to twelve songs for their sets.

Why not? He played bass on the original, and co-lead guitar on "Welcome To The Canteen." If Fleetwood Mac played Chicken Shack numbers when Christine was in the band, why not Traffic songs when Dave Mason was in the band?

They made it a coverband themselves. Still, I enjoyed this concert better then the behind the mask tour.

And, say what you will, they were able to do it with just six people on stage. If Christine had toured, there would have been no additional musicians. When was the last time THAT happened?
