My thoughts on Christine's return
THANK GOD Im sorry to say , i was tiring of the current line up of the Mac. To be honest, if Christine did not return, i would not be buying the new album or forking out for concert tickets Now i am very much interested in whatever they do |

I have a mixed reaction on her return. On one hand I am very excited that she is back but I wonder for how long. Is this a one off tour or will there be a tour then an album and another tour. She is going to be 71 so time is of the essence here and they should strike while the iron is hot. The main drawback for me is if the setlist is mainly going to consist of what they have been doing for 11 years without her. Sure they will do some of her songs but they really should revamp the show and pull out more then just some of her hits. How about doing 2-3 songs from B/N era that they have never done live along with some of her stuff?

They had the past 15 years to do bucking ham nicks songs. They will never ever do them. But my thoughts on Chris's return: I'm so excited! I remember in 03 when her retirement was announced that I was looking forward to just stevie and Lindsey. This last tour was amazing, but 03/04 and 09 was just ok. By 09 I wanted her back. Since then I have learned to appreciate her more. 2 years ago I started getting the pre 75 albums just to hear her. I got in the mean time a few months ago.

Exactly. Plus, if they go to a 26 song set, there will still be room for some of the deeper cuts and/or new songs.

I'm happy Chris is returning to the Mac, I guess. It may not help, but it certainly couldn't hurt.

That's what touring does. Ever since I've gone on tour, my sense of time is nowhere near what it used to be.

If you do a lot of traveling, you forget which hotel is where. In and out of anonymous cities. I was talking to a woman who had a stroke about five years ago and she had sharp memory of all time frames before the stroke -- she even told me exactly when I moved out to California. But she has lost all sense of time since her stroke, because she has been in a nursing home ever since and one day, one year seems so much like the other. Michele |

I've often had to look at tour itineraries to jog the memory. I remember the shows, but the timeline is a complete blur. And GbV doesn't do a quarter of the tour Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks solo do.

It did bother me that in the 15 years since she left when they did tour it was more or less the same show as half of the show was songs they have done for years anyway. They could have revamped the show but they chose to play it safe and I think that is what they will do this time as well.

I do hope, for example, they do either Isn't it Midnight or Little Lies--and ditch Everywhere. I don't think there is a chance in hell that they will will ditch Dreams, Don't Stop, Landslide, Monday Morning, or Say You Love me, despite having heard all of them so many times. But maybe there will be three new songs in the set list? |

I think "Monday Morning" could be ditched. ISA, probably not.

They didn't play Monday Morning on this tour, so it's not an essential.
ISA I am pretty tired of in its current form. I completely spaced out during the song this time around and felt it just went on too long; it felt longer than the version I saw in '09, which I really enjoyed.
