It's the FM sound WITH LB I loved. So for me, without him, what's the use.

Dare I wade in? Perhaps briefly.
Lindsey will be fine. He's super wealthy, has a solo career, a family etc. I'm still not convinced they just wanted to get rid of him arbitrarily.
Despite being mainly a Buckingham-Nicks fan myself, I know there was more to them than that. I've often wondered why they didn't do more of their work from an earlier time. They should before too late. As Mick has said, there wouldn't have been a FM without Peter Green, who regularly makes lists of greatest guitar players of all time. That's a legacy that deserves to be remembered as part of this group's history.
I just wish them all the best. I wasn't going to see FM this time but with Neil on board I might.
