Of their fanbase,WHAT percentage are going to know Bob Welch songs? 5%? I'd guess less than that.

100% agree with you --by the end of this tour--I am willing to bet this set list is pretty close to the OWTS Set list, with a little Crowded House and TPH thrown in for good measure.

I still hear “Hypnotized” and his solo version of “Sentimental Lady” on the radio. I don’t know that people realize that’s Fleetwood Mac, though. Neil said they worked on “Hypnotized” a while back. Could happen, but I won’t be surprised either way.

Or they could just do a whole new version. Isn't that the point of playing an old song- to rejuvenate it, put your stamp on it and give it a new, contemporary lease of life? I'm sure if they wanted to Neil and Mike have the ability between them to create something worthwhile that doesn't just try to re-tread the BW solo version.

Whilst its downright offensive they never honoured Danny while he was alive, and they only ever played Bob Welch material in the first couple of years, I'm not sure it would really be screwing them over to play their music now in death. How is it screwing them over?

It will probably surprise a lot of people on here when I say this, but Lindsey's FM songs largely leave me flat. It's his work on Christine & Stevie's tunes that garners my love & respect for him. On Tusk especially he elevated songs like Brown Eyes and Beautiful Child beyond the mantle of simple pop/rock. Oddly enough the only Lindsey FM songs I truly love are the Tango In The Night title track & You And I, Part I... which didn't even make the Tango album . Now his solo work on the other hand fascinates me. Which is so totally opposite of the case for me when it comes to Stevie- I love her FM contributions, but her solo works are mostly garbage to me.
So will I miss Lindsey in FM? Of course. His stage energy & purity of artistic motives are what will be missed the most. Not to mention Lindsey's phenomenal guitar playing. Not just the energy of his playing, but his style of playing... that whole mystical Spanish-style thing he morphed into from 1997 onwards. Go Insane from the Dance is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. He ended up sprinkling little bits of that style into most of FM's live performances over the past 20 years, and I thought it was truly magical. As far as what this new iteration of FM does or doesn't do... at this point I don't really care. I think they became fully dead to me when I heard they added Second Hand News to their setlist. Not only had they fired the architect of the sound that brought them fame... but they straight up mocked him by playing that song. Shameful. But as Mick would say, onwards & upwards. At least I have the huge back catalogue of FM & solo works to drown myself in. Lately I've been exploring Peter Green & Bob Welch's solo albums... it's been a nice diversion from the toxic caricature FM has become.

^^^^^ Love this!!
You and I part I is a BuckVie tune (Buckingham/McVie) I do love the production as much as you do. Tango is a gem. I listen to the remaster in my car and he did amazing work. Nice contrast to Tusk and no where near Rumours. I loved what Billy and Rick did with their live sets. Both tours. Christine actually had a solo and she was very very keyboard driven. Especially, on the BTM tour. I guess toward the end it was getting tired or they weren't into it. But, the shows I saw were off the charts good.
