Like Phil Collins, it'd be hilarious if say in 5-10 years, Lindsey rejoins cause this era flops and they call it the We're Not Dead Yet, Either Tour lol

More likely 2 or 3 ..but if we're still around I am sure ticket prices for a Nicks solo show in her ribbon and bow bedecked wheelchair may have dropped a bit.

A good contrast with this is “Edge of Seventeen,” a great, driving song in need of a more imaginative arrangement that will sustain its many repetitions and length. Lindsey could have done wonders with that. Last edited by aleuzzi; 06-27-2018 at 09:21 AM.. |

Hopefully she'll still have her turkey waddle stapled back.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks this song is such a dud live, even without the factor of it being overplayed. Should've been retired after the Rumours or Tusk tour.

There is no doubt that Lindsey turned Dreams from okay to great. Three chords: F, G, Am7. That was it. Played simply on my keyboard at home, it is a proper dud. On Rumours it is a gem. Started to lose its shine live around 1983. Now it's a piece of hard plastic crap. She was right to ditch it from the 24KG tour and I was disappointed after seeing her in Sacramento that she had brought Dreams back in when I saw her in Sydney. And had the hide to act like bringing it back was doing us a favour. I feel some empathy for Stevie I must admit. I also write songs and I am the same as her, I write chords and basic melodies. I rely on my producers to arrange them. I am always very appreciative when they come up with better arrangements. I don't know that Stevie is. |

"Edge" has so many repetitions without much variation in the supporting instrumentation. Lindsey was great with songs like this. Admittedly, sometimes his "vision" takes away something from the magic of the demo, but songs like Gypsy and Dreams--well, they wouldn't be anything memorable without him. |

However, I think Lindsey gives himself a little too much credit at times. “Rhiannon” and “Crystal” come to mind. The Buckingham Nicks versions pale in comparison to what Mick, John, and Christine brought to those songs. Being a genius in the studio only works if you have the right people.

You should just block me. PLEASE block me. You obviously have huge issues with me, so please just block me, because I'm sick to death of you ranting at me.

But I have to cavil with some of the earlier opinions that "Dreams" would be nothing without Fleetwood Mac's recording (which I love). "Dreams" is an excellent lyric: tight, cynical, ironic, sly, but also a passionate little narrative. If I didn't know Stevie wrote it, I'd never in a hundred years think she wrote it. It's more like Elvis Costello, post Angry Young Man. (It has a lot of the same sly push of "Kid About It" or "King of Confidence." I don't think "Dreams" has been given due appreciation by fans as a lyric. Sometimes I wonder whether people really perceive all the subtext in the song, or the way that it scans so beautifully with little cocky statements embedded at the end of lines. It should be studied more closely. Mick's kick+snare and John's bass are deliberately recorded to simulate the steady heartbeat of regret and warning. It really is a beautiful track, overflowing with the craftsmanship and ideas that Fleetwood Mac was renowned for. It's Stevie's best song, by far, and it's probably Fleetwood Mac's best lyric, or one of.
