Would Peter do it?
I'm very facinated by the thought of Peter Green joining Fleetwood Mac onstage for their next tour, although I'm not sure that will happen. I guess my question would be, wold Peter be willing to do it, or would Lindsey be willing to share the stage with him. I certainly hope he would, since there would not have been a Fleetwood Mac to begin with if it werent for the Green god.

*While I fully believe that Fleetwood Mac underestimates their audience in a big way and really ought to "challenge" them more by playing more relatively obscure material and mixing things up a bit, I do think bringing Peter out on stage would be pushing it a bit too far.

Unfortunately, that ain't gonna happen. The two realities that really turn me off to the idea are 1) the audience (I mean, if half the venue takes a piss break when Lindsey plays "Come," can you imagine what would happen if Pete shuffled on stage and the band went into "Albatross"?) and 2) the fact that Fleetwood Mac on tour is not just Fleetwood Mac (apologies to Brett and Taku and the rest, but I just don't see them meshing very well with Mr. Green). |

I have to say that this debate only applies to North America. I think "Oh Well" and "Black Magic Woman" would be the only songs the North American crowds would get into, and maybe "Manalishi" and "Rattlesnake," though I'm not as certain. I think the band worked for so many years to get out of Green's shadow and succeeded that it wouldn't work too well.
Now, Europe is another story. I think it would be absolutely huge there.

You might as well put Christine onstage with Rage Against the Machine.

I think if Mac could bring themselves to do some gigs with as few extra musicians as possible, and leave the dozens of hangers-on backstage, then bring out Peter for a few numbers, that would work well in Europe. In fact I think they'd be killed in the rush for tickets. I also think that might be the only way in which Peter could be convinced to do it.
