Wow! I've never seen that picture before. It looks like it was taken at the same time as that picture with Chris & Bekka goofing around with beards. The background is the same in both pictures. It looks strange seeing Chris & Dave Mason together.
Thanks for posting, Michele. |

It would have been nice/interesting to hear Christine and Bekka's voices together. It's a shame that it didn't come to fruition on Time.

As for the Dave/Christine tiff, I had a few sources, and Steve Winwood was never mentioned. I don't remember one guy's name, but he said a lot of it had to do with the fact Dave still enjoyed the nose candy, which given the issues she had seen over the years with friends/bandmates, had to seem distasteful to Chris. This guy also told me that Mick and Dave spent most of promotional budget on getting the guitars/drums to sound right. I can't verify any of it, but it sounds about right. But, ulitmately, my biggest source for the tiff was told to me by another guy who had the courage to tell me that Dave was a real asshole. This guy also told me that he was somewhat miffed at how Mick promised a new Fleetwood Mac, yet it played all of the old stuff (sounds familiar). I can believe the last point. Dave openly admits to having been called an asshole, and even to being an asshole at times. Steve Winwood isn't the only person who has had issues with Dave over the years. Clapton's had issues. Most of the Dave Mason Band from the '70s have had issues (specifically Rick Jaeger). There is a pattern. I also heard it from a few fans from back in the days when I ran that website, and the cocaine issue was mentioned more than once. OTOH, Billy Burnette told me (on a Q&A) that he enjoyed working with Dave. So who knows? I've said it before (in more humerous ways), but I think the issue between Christine and Dave is solely between those two. Think of it a different way: Mick liked Dave Mason. Christine actually lived with Mick, worked extensively with Mick, and went through hell and back with Mick. Who's opinion do you think she would have respected more? Mick Fleetwood's or Steve Winwood's? I think Christine is more than capable of deciding these things for herself. I could see Dave and Christine not getting along.

Unhappy to be playing with Dave or not, Christine looks great in this pic!

You will notice that Christine and Dave are at opposite ends of the room, showing the extent of their mutual affection (lol).
At least this photo proves that this unit DID play together as a band, at least for the record. I've sometimes wondered if Christine literally "mailed in" her parts. Good to see that that wasn't the case.

If someone says the group is practicing for studio work, I reply that they didn't start studio work until much, much later -- after an extensive tour. LET'S GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS! |

Is it just me or do Christine's 'legs' look like someone else's? As if her top half (with the keyboards) were photoshopped in...Look again!
