Like we're under obligation to see them before they quit or give them our support? I skipped the last tour (twice) because of the lack of an album. And I'll do it again. I don't need to go just to be in their presence. It's a nostalgia act offering nothing new and I'm too young to be nostalgic about Fleetwood Mac. If they never release a new album then I'll never see them again live. I would accept free tickets, but otherwise....

It's funny when people say stuff like this like they know exactly what's going on.

Other things to spend money on than a rock concert, especially a redundant one. How about contributing to fighting disease, helping homeless or elderly, etc.?!

... I just want Christine to do another solo album, like she'd planned to do before rejoining. It would have been out by now.
I completely, 100% agree.

thats very noble...
...but as far as I'm concerned- have money, will spend on FM.
If I never saw them on (most probably) their last tour I'd always regret it- album or no album.

.......How about taking the money and telling a stupid person in you may have in your life this: "Here is some money, now you can afford to have your head surgically removed from your ass."

I would regret it, too. I thought the last show was explosive. Having Christine back was one factor for me. But then I was pleasantly surprised by some of Stevie's vocals. Gold DustWoman was amazing. I was not impressed with their approach to Sisters. But, who can top that Mirage performance. I don't know how they decide the arrangement. But not to have big guitar solo at the end of Sister's is beyond me.

Little LIes.. not one of my fav's. was incredible. Big surprise. Second Hand News was also superb.

That you think you know. I think I covered that in my comment. Truth is none of us know what is going on, but I doubt what is happening has all been pre-planned and strategized.

I will see them, regardless.

They ARE the band of my life.

The clock is ticking, and it's only a matter of WHEN one of them kicks the bucket.

I do hope that when one of them does die, that they call it a day, like the Eagles.

When one of them "checks out", I won't be the least bit surprised. They are not getting any younger. Next month Christine will be 73, right?

Are you kidding me? Spoiled brat? Are you for real? I saw them twice on the last tour, shelling out over a hundred each time. Why would I want to see them next year without any new music? I'm not spending any more cash unless they do what artists do and create. New music. If they die before they put it out I will be sad, but not because I didn't see them one last time. I'll be sad because they would have wasted any opportunity to grow.

Amen. Good point. Though if the band does release new music, I'll be first in line for a ticket to their next tour.

That's the thing. I have a lot of things to spend money on and they have to excite me into spending it on them. For me, that means new music. They don't lay any claim to my money. They have to earn it like we all do. Playing all the same old songs that they performed better 20/30/40 years ago doesn't really get me going anymore. There's got to be something new.

I'm not sure. I honestly try not to think about it.

I might be okay with dying before Christine does...
