In a "perfect" world, (my dream), Mick would extend the offer to all FM members. All would accept, and perform in the spirit of what the Mac once meant to them. It would be dedicated "with love and respect to the memory of Judy Wong", with the final show in San Francisco. Dave Walker could even open with "How ya doin' San Francisco?". The guitar 'duels' between Green, Spencer, Kirwan, Welch, Weston, Buckingham, Mason, Burnette, and Vito would be killer. After the last cheers fade away, and the band is backstage, Christine walks out. She sits down at the piano. As the last "like never before" ends "Songbird", Mick hugs Bob Welch, and Linds & Stevie share a farewell kiss. What do you think, Ledgies? The ultimate final concert? I know, I know. But, what dreams! Best always, Madelow.

Actually Mick has wanted something along those lines for a while.

Hello Steve: Really? That would be great! I didn't realize he was on good terms with everyone. If I had the chance to see Peter Green & Bob Welch live on stage together, I would be in Heaven. best wishes, Madelow.

I don't believe that just stocking a stage with a ****load of musicians will necessarily result in a great concert. I tend not to really like those "all-star jams" anyway. Sometimes it works & sometimes it's just a lot of traffic onstage.

My dream show would be mostly Christine and Stevie (in that order!), with Lindsey doing a few of his songs here and there.... (And of course Mick and John too!) Is that asking too much....
Sigh.... I'm sorry to say I'm not planning on seeing any of the "Unleashed" shows. Fleetwood Mac just is not Fleetwood Mac without Christine McVie. And they're definitely not worth paying the big $$, anyway. Just my opinion....

MY dream show would be Christine and Bob. Just the two of them on stage. Acoustic. Piano and guitar. It would work ... plenty of rockers perform just by themselves with guitar and call it "acoustic rock." (Roger McGuinn, Graham Parker, Steve Forbert for example.) As for the big extravaganza with the entire band, it simply wouldn't work to have a zillion guitarists on stage together. But if they took turns, that would work. Mick and John are on stage for the entire concert, of course. Peter and Jeremy come out and do three songs. Then Jeremy sits down and Peter and Danny do two numbers. Then Jeremy comes back and he and Danny do two numbers. Then Jeremy leaves and Chris and Bob come on stage. Danny, Chris and Bob together do three songs. Danny leaves, Bob Weston comes on, that team does three numbers. (I guess you have to let Dave Walker come and do one song ... ugh.) Then Dave and the Bobs go off and on come Lindsey and Stevie. With Chris they get to do six songs. Then a revolving door effect takes place where Lindsey, Stevie and Chris all leave for a song or two and then come back, while Rick, Billy, Bekka and Dave Mason each get to do one song each. (Did I miss anybody? LOL) Then the whole gang comes on stage together for the grand encore, consisting of two songs, "Oh Well" and "The Chain."

Songbird (while all the folks on stage sway, arms around each other, the crowd as a whole whip out their Bic Lighters and sway with the band) (at song's end, not a dry eye in the house, either in the seats or on stage....group bows & waves, Stevie, Bekka & Chris collect bouquets & stuffed animals from the front of the stage, the guys shake hands and wave...takes about 15 minutes for everyone to leave the stage. Houselights go up, original recording of Oh Well, Part 2 blasts over PA...the crowd buzzes as they leave the venue in an orderly fashion) Bob Brunning writes a review of the show and includes anecdotes about the backstage goings on…includes photos & publishes as a book.

Oh gawd I love it, Chili!!! Thank you for re-posting that!
Warner Bros. could film it and release it on DVD as ~UNLEASHED: The Musical~ I'd buy it. Chili, you could make millions as the original screenwriter. |
