WelshWitch can correct me, but i believe he said Best Of not the GH. his GH is not anything that would make me happy. but his Best Of has a potential to be fantastic and there are all those amazing songs he never did live or maybe did just once that could see the light of the day if he selects them for the album and tours them. so after being initially hugely unhappy about this turn of events (almost looks like labels always spell some kind of trouble for LB ), i can see the upside if he selects the right songs. for years now i've had a huge list of his solo stuff (+ some Tusk and SYW songs) that i would LOVE to hear live and the list keeps growing as he releases new songs. why not highlight those amazing songs? Rodeo. To Try for the Sun. Twist of Fate. Gift of Screws. Red Rover. Rock Away Blind. he's gotta huge list of fantastic but relatively or completely unknown songs that deserve to be heard.

oh and i will live in hope he may put a couple of completely new songs on that Best Of album too.
I've never seen FM live, and I don't want to be tempted to pay as much as I did for BuckVie to get not nearly as good seats for FM. Unless FM can get their stuff together for a new album or he finally changes up what he wears on stage every once in a while, I don't want to pay up the nose.

lol, about Mick. Does his accountant suck or does he just flat out ignore that person?

I consider Greatest Hits and Best of to be the same, since they're both compilations. I get what you're saying though on that they're actually different.

Hopefully whatever is going on per WelshWitchPMD's source is not catastrophic.
Hi Soda! Even though we may not agree on wanting the FM tour or not, I really appreciate your take on it. As much as I don't want an FM tour because of the cost, LB makes way more money on it, which allows him to be ok with solo tours and albums and do the project with Christine. If he had enough money, why would he continue to work with FM or is the relationship between all of them not as bad as we perceive it to be?
