I stumbled upon this recently (maybe someone here linked it?) and it makes me sad.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bnh4qRCLwLc While I think that a lot of interactions are staged, there are real moments in between and this is one of them. I probably will be buying a ticket if they come to Germany, but it won't be the same. Rumours 5 are magic. The rest is good music, sure, but magic? No. Also: THIS - http://www.ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/sh...4&postcount=48 I don't think there is a comeback from the latest shenanigans. So much history ending on such a bad note. I just hope it was not a 'spur in the moment' thing. Last edited by missundercover; 04-22-2018 at 12:30 AM.. Reason: Added the Link at the end. |

I've just gone on Lindsey's website- there's a Seeds we sow overview video that I don't remember being on there recently. Maybe it was and I missed it. In the light of recent events his comments on it take on a greater resonance.
The song choices on the video seem very apt: Seeds we sow, End of Time and Illumination.

and no, these videos were there since before Seeds came out. maintenance and updating of that site is dismal. as is any social media connected to LB, unfortunately.

It’s embarrassing that at this age the band members still act like children and can’t get along. They are not growing old gracefully.

The thing with this band is, sure, they are professional musicians who will still put on a technically good show. They will play a bunch of songs that the audience knows and will most likely make a fortune. But there is something specific about this fivesome that just gels and when together, the game is upped several levels. In 1997, they were a LOT better than the 1987-90 band (and sorry but I just refuse to even talk about the county fair circuit in the mid-90's), and something was just not right from 2003-2013. Live and on Say You Will, Christine's absence was glaring and it just wasn't the same. In 2014, it all came back. There was a magic in the performances that had been missing for the prior decade. It's the same with Buckingham McVie. I actually enjoy the album (as I did Say You Will), but it just wasn't the same without the three voices on it. It is an absolute shame that the likely final chapter of this band is going to be written in this way. And that's not a knock on Mike Campbell or Neil Finn. They're there to replicate what was already done and they will do it professionally, but whatever it is that comes together with the Rumours 5 will not be replicated.

A couple of weeks after it was all confirmed I still don't know what to think, given that we don't know the full circumstances yet.
Much as the Mac's live shows had become more than a little ritualistic, even with Christine's return, I always enjoyed them and got a kick out of the fact that casual fans came out of the gig feeling the same. When you've had a realistic claim to being the world's biggest act at one point, even though that was 40 years ago, a line-up change at this stage in the game is not going to work in the same way that the growth and setbacks pre 1975 eventually did. Neil and Mike are in a class or two above Billy and Rick, however and the uninformed fans plus Stevie diehards may still make the band a worthwhile live proposition at this point, although you have to worry about Christine's continued ability to deliver. I admit I am intrigued by the possibility of studio recordings, particularly involving Neil Finn. Maybe Christine's desire to do a blues album could somehow morph into part of an album with the FM moniker in it. I wouldn't put the mortgage on that happening. What an irony it would be were a new FM album to emerge. Logic somehow dictates that Fleetwood Mac #14 has been put together to fulfil a contractual obligation to tour and that may well be it. Christine surely didn't come out of retirement for this and John has indicated that by 2020 he will be done. Given Lindsey's solo and BuckVie creativity over the last few years I'm just annoyed that a wider audience will miss out on his full potential in the setting of Fleetwood Mac. I'm sure he's difficult to work with and that's partly how we've got to this point. So many lost opportunities. It's just too sad.

the only time the "difficult to work with" arises is when you have SN in the same room. toxic exes. Christine said something like that in interviews for BuckVie - that she has always find it incredibly easy to work with him, and it's just gotten easier now, and that she can only ascribe these difficulties to somehow always arise from SN / LB relationship.

Maybe she's a giant pain in the ass to work with and after 10/20/30/40/50+ years, he just doesn't give af about it and says what he thinks. Likely, they're both annoying and while Lindsey seems to be able to want to work with her, she just has no interest in even trying. Ugh...I find this whole thing to be increasingly irritating daily. |
