Of course, it would be nice to have Stevie there, but I would be OKAY with just the guys being on the stage as well.

The word "jam" & "Lindsey" in the same sentence is an oxymoron. Bob Welch? Yeah. Peter Green? Yeah. Rick Vito? Yeah. Lindsey Buckingham? I don't think so.

"Jamming" just doesn't seem to be in Lindsey's musical DNA.

Where would Fleetwood Mac play if the line-up was Lindsey, Mick and John? What venues?

I am sure he does in the studio. John wouldnt have hold out those SYW sessions before Stevie flew in if they didn't jam. And I bet that some of the GOS stuff came out of improvisation on basic songideas.

I just wish he'd took that tension onstage. In a Mick john lindsey-setting the risk that that would happen is 200% bigger than if Stevie would be involved. Then he automatically falls back in "control"-mode.

No. I would think bigger than that. Radio City?

I suppose if John McVie were to join up with MFBB, they could just call THAT "Fleetwood Mac"... I wouldnt put it past Mick

It seems as though there is a kind of a regrouping effort going on, done by Mick Fleetwood. John McVie's presence is essential in calling the thing FM. So he's in, too. Rick Vito should be in, too, since he's been touring with Mick recently. Christine probably still wouldn't want to tour. A BTM lineup tour without Christine would feel somewhat incomplete, but might they bring in Bekka at the last minute?

I bet they can use the FM-name only if LB/SN are in. I haven't heard the band broke up. So I can imagine that you have the wish but the fact John isn't in the MFBB could have something to do with that. A band with those two EQUALS FM, so I think there are bussiness-arrangements with
S & L.

I've read some things that Sheryl Crow may be touring with them. Now "with" is the operative word...would she be the opening act, or actually playing in the band? I think they're getting her involved so Stevie would be more inclined to agree to do the tour with another female artist in the entourage.

I'd suspected as much myself. But as SC's just brought out a new album, I'm not sure she'd go straight from that into FM.

Oh please, that would be too cruel.

Just let her be the opening act and then join them for maybe one song or something. I'd rather that Christine perform from her home via satellite than that Sheryl Crow play with FM for a whole 2 hours.

That's interesting Steve. Where'd you read that? I'd like to check it out.

The only way I see her benefiting my concert experience is by being the opening act. That way, when Fleetwood Mac comes out, they're just that much more exhilarating because of who they're following. Please! Say It Aint So!

FM likes to do a triumverate of the 3 strong songs in a row (which Lindsey also did for the UTS tour). If instead of Tusk, Stand Back and GYOW, we got, Tusk, Stand Back and First Cut is the Deepest, I wouldn't want to live anymore. I'd just quit my job, stop eating and wait for death to overcome me.

Then, there'd be Strong Enough in the encore . . .

IMO i could not care lss if LB tours or not.

I would prefer to see Rick Vito back.

But most of all i would prefer to see a different set list.
By all means play Go you own way etc, but please play things like Oh Well, Man of the world etc
I would also like to see some of the Behind the mask demos played live.

My line up would be MF,JM,RV,CM(highly unlikley)/BB/SN & Bob Welch in it.

In other words a different set list after a couple of concerts etc
