This new atrocity is coming to my hometown, to play the Baltimore Arena.
now I saw Mac as a 4 piece here, I was close and the crowd surge to help Lindsey play his guitar was....so cool.

I would normally be over the moon that Mac was coming back but I can not bring myself to attend this.

I feel sorry for Mike, believe it or not, because during his grief over Tom he now gets sucked into the Fleetwood Mac drama/vortex.

That's probably how Mick justifies it as not a 'firing'. Well, we gave him a choice, knowing it was not a choice at all. wtf is wrong with these people.

Surely the history and legacy of the band dictates they should have made more of an effort than bringing in a new guy just 6 days after a bust up.

Like Kristen Buckingham said #whoareyoupeople

Stevie holding Lindsey's arm the whole time during Musicares speech and then stabbing him in the back. Who are you indeed.

Are you kidding? Mike can make some serious money. I'm sure FM can make more money touring than Tom ever did. Not an insult to Tom, I just know FM were/are a bigger touring act.

i know.

last tour they played DC arena twice, but they didn't play Baltimore.

this time i was not gonna follow them on tour like the last 2 tours. i was gonna just do a home show - so that would have been DC and Baltimore. i was planning to follow LB's solo tour in between, as many shows as i could make.

now of course i would NEVER go. i feel bad for Chris but she needs to walk. i would have to throw up hearing them doing the chain. there's no way to make it through any of their show now.

i know. i was on FB today and somebody said in comment to KB's post - oh she's saying that to fans for being bitter about what happened. no honey, she's liking all the posts from fans supporting Lindsey and calling it like it is.

Not so sure about that. Tom Petty was on the road a lot more often than FM - playing huge arenas selling out multiple nights in one city. They had become like the Grateful Dead -- with a huge touring fan base. Their setlists and arrangements were constantly changing, so fans wanted to go as many nights as possible.

Yeah, Tom was huge on the road. He was magnificent live.

Mike was an inspired choice; he'll bring an audience with him that wasn't the case when Billy/Rick joined....no offense to them. I mean they did have fans, but Tom and the HB were another level altogether, and a much bigger and more diverse audience. And they have nowhere else to go right now....so yeah they'll show up to see Mike which will help ticket sales.

Mostly agree with what you said. Except are they willing to pay top dollar for a concert with their guitar hero nestled in a FM show? It's not Tom Petty after all. They're gonna be playing FM songs mostly. It's not a step up for Mike Campbell, except he was "out in the cold, nowhere to go". TP and The Heartbreakers put on a hell of a live show!

Also, not many people are aware of Mike Campbell's songwriting credits.
The last thing he needs is money:

Boy's of Summer
Heart of the Matter
Here Comes My Girl
Refugee
Stop Draggin My Heart Around
Runnin Down a Dream
A Woman In Love
You Got Lucky


He has co-writing credits on all of those, which means he made buckets of money on each of them and still continues to. His kids will be earning royalties on these songs long after he's gone.

I've been thinking about Mike Campbell and his statement
""I'm making this my priority until whenever, you know. We'll see what happens," Campbell said." In my humble thinking I see this as an out card if things go south and I am sure they will!

Oh Mick, Stevie, Christine, and John, how could you do this? Its not like yrs ago, ya'll are old for chriss sakes! I wish they could have gone out with dignity and style as the five fireflies

I give Mike a ton of credit--he's in a bad spot and this isn't his fault. I've seen him live before--incredible talent no doubt. The statement he made about joining FM right after the news broke was classy and respectful. It eased the pain a bit

I agree he is in a tough spot, balancing it all and yet he handled it with tact and grace, he is a class act. I hope he doesn't get burned.
