Begs the question, I’ve been thinking about it since yesterday’s news broke, do you think they do pull the songs out of the set list? Either way, would speak volumes. I am asking because I am genuinely curious as to people’s views too, don’t want to open a can of worms as to why “insert name” is an awful human being and deserves every bad thing he/she has coming to them. Honestly wanting to know what fans think

Maybe we should do a new topic for that.

They never should have put those in there in the first place, IMHO. They are just reminding people that Lindsey is gone when Neil attempts to sing those songs. I guess they felt four older and relatively obscure songs were enough, though, and the rest of the male leads are Lindsey's, so they went there (though perhaps a cover like Blue Letter would have been a better idea than songs Lindsey wrote about Stevie).

Plus, if their strategy is to pretend like this isn't happening, then they'll keep them in.

My guess is that we won't see a change.

I agree - never should have been in there.

I will say that regardless of winner/loser in this mess, Lindsey has played this beautifully. Making this public right at the start of both of their tours and when Stevie hall of fame nomination is announced (although he may not have known about that).

His timing is perfect.

I agree, I think they will stay there as well. (mainly due to to the fact that set lists don't seem to change much with this crew once a tour starts) I wish they weren't playing them because that is three more slots that could have been filled with something cool we hadn't heard before or hadn't heard in a long time, but it is what it is; they weren't going to have a perfectly competent male singer and only use him for back-up and duets.

Isn't it so that Don Felder wrote the main part of the famous guitar solo in Hotel California? They will get booed when they won't play that !!

Same goes for songs like GOYW, these are concert-staples they ought to play! no matter who's in the band. They did that in 1988, 1990 and 1994 as well. No problems with that back then. Ok, don't try to impersonate the acoustic Big Love ... that's too much.

I'm on neither side BTW. Who should I choose? I choose for the music. This law-suit isn't about who's side your on or being in or out Fleetwood Mac, it's simply a conflict about employment aka MONEY !! And that makes him as greedy as the majority overhere thinks about Mick and/or Stevie ...

It’s one thing making up stories and bending the truth for the press.
But this is now going to the courts.

To be clear, they didn't perjure themselves... they weren't under oath when they were interviewed. There's a world of difference. They also made it very clear they weren't going to badmouth Lindsey and were deliberately vague about specific details during their interviews. They could have mentioned the so-called smirking during the interview and then shown it, but they didn't. With this lawsuit, of course the band will unearth anything to make Lindsey look bad, but then again, Lindsey will do the same thing to make FM look bad.

Wasn't there an odd picture from the MusiCares red carpet where Lindsey posed like Jesus on the cross? That picture seemed very unlike Lindsey, very crass and melodramatic and outrageous, and certainly made me think something major had happened that night between Lindsey and the band. Something more than a smirk set the band off that night, including Lindsey.

They are all greedy but Lindsey or anyone else would be hard pressed to be as greedy as Mick. His avarice is so extreme it is cartoonish.

so essentially 9 out of 10 are on Team Lindsey, ya kinda gotta love it
I don't understand why Stevie fans don't think it was selfish of her not to phone in 3 tracks for a Mac record, she never even had to say boo to Lindsey since the handlers could have handled it all...give him 3 tracks, let him take 15 or so passes at it, choose 1 or hybrid a couple, whatever...and be done with it.
It would have thrilled millions of Mac fans and they would have gone out so well. I think it's also possible her well has run dry. BuckVie was a nice album and it would have worked as a Mac record with her breath on a few vocals. Just selfish behavior that has been apparent for several years now. I like Stevie, but feel she's behaved badly. I also understand she's mourning a few folks, so I have some understanding there too. All this sounds so unpleasant for everyone involved.

Lindsey is a pretty private person. For him to go to this length speaks volumes. He was wronged and tried and tried to talk to them and got nothing back.

After 40 years of working together and friendship and my goodness, what he and Stevie once were to each other. He finally came out swinging. Good for him. It's time for the curtain to be drawn back.

I hate it's come to this. Very sad.

If you think the lawsuit is only about money you are being naive. Lindsey is filthy rich. He doesn’t need it. He is hurt. He shaped the music and made these people stars and he is neither the leader of the band or the star of the band. However, he is the talent of the band and gets NO respect. Stevie is totally petty and Mick is the one who cares about money.

THIS.IS.IT. He is what made them, and they just throw him under the bus. F*ck them. All four of them.
