Sad that Lindsey won't be there but I am sure the quality of these shows will be very good with the first rate talent involved. And we'll see where it goes from there.

Couldn't agree more.
For me, I think it's best to think of this as a "new band" as I expect the setlist and sound to be very different.
I hope they dig deep into the Danny Kirwan and Bob Welch pool of songs as there are some gems there than should sound sweet with Mike and Neil.
Danny's song "Dust", in particular", sounds like it could have been written by Neil. Danny (and Bob Welch to a lesser extent) had a very similar songwriting style to Neil with sweet melodies, introspective lyrics, and spacious musical textures.
I was just listening to Danny Kirwan's Fleetwood Mac song "Dust" and then Neil's song "Edible Flowers' (co-write with his brother Tim) and marveling at the beauty of the two songs and how they seem to have arisen from the same songwriting well. See below ...
