I voted "nobody" since realistically this is likely to be their farewell album but, if Christine had rejoined 10 years ago and Stevie had refused to record, I agree that Neko Case would have been an amazing choice with her incredible vocal range and energy.

Unwarranted are the dire predictions that their last years will be spent be limping around, reduced to playing to half-filled road houses; their status and reputation so sadly damaged that it will nullify all they have accomplished. Bollocks!

The B/N version of FM was very generic in my opinion, which confuses me because their one album is very good. It's probably because they can't stand each other most of the time, and it really informs why there was not much output in 16 years of capitalizing on just the two of them.
You could tell in LB's body language during DR how he feels about Stevie. While they did have some great performances, adding Christine really re-energized them. Perhaps, Stevie will let that translate into the studio. (That's my first choice of what I would like to see.) They need more output and LB and CM as artists have recognized that and have written many new songs for their band. The more Stevie doesn't want to make new music with this band, the more it was about the huge paycheck she scooped up for doing this tour. If not, I would like to see Nancy Wilson. Same era.. good range, good harmony, and work some of her own tunes in. Not plausible, but it's a poll. Having said that, I think just the 4 would be less generic, more musical, and less popular. In my experience as a musician and a fan, some of the best music is unpopular.

Wow. Sorry you're having such a bad day. I don't recall ever saying I thought this tour with no new album was a good idea. In fact, I've said many times it's not. I wanted them to record first, then tour the new album. That's not what we got. The one thing about this tour at least is that we've got the writers and original performers of all the songs on stage. Bringing in strangers to cover your hits is far, far cheesier. If you would pay to go see that, well good on you. Have fun. And there are all sorts of fans and none of them have to meet my or your standards to qualify. I've followed this band for 40 years. This is a forum for sharing opinions. If you don't like other opinions, maybe you're the one in the wrong place. |

Its funny how these same discussions keep going around in circles over several threads- for what its worth I wouldn't mind Fleetwood Mac playing to significantly smaller venues so long as MJCL are there. Half-filled roadhouses and smokey casinos are just up my street and would probably be a lot cheaper- could go to more shows. |

That's why I think it would be better to have an established artist who has her own well known songs come in instead of a relative newbie. She'd sing a couple of Stevie's songs, a few of her own hits, and a couple of new songs. It's like what they did on the 1975-76 tour.

You missed the point. The others have over an album's worth of material recorded, and would rather have toured behind a new album than doing just a greatest hits tour. They would rather this have had some artistic merit instead of just being another cash grab.

It's hard to pinpoint, but I'd say sometime during the 90s Fleetwood Mac stopped being an amorphous entity, and finally froze into something solid and definable. What I mean by that is Fleetwood Mac is restricted to Fleetwood-McVie-McVie-Buckingham-Nicks. The public will accept one of those members dropping out, but will not tolerate new additions. So all of this talk about replacing a member is much ado about nothing. They've learned their lesson in regards to replacements. That's why they even cut a show short recently when Mick got sick and had to leave the stage. Yes, they could have gotten the drum tech to step in to finish the show, but they didn't dare. So if Stevie were to quit or get fired- neither of which are going to happen- the band could and probably would continue without her. I don't think that would be a quick process; it might be something like the 6 years in between the Dance and Say You Will. They'd wait to see if Stevie changed her mind, but would move forward without her if it became clear she wasn't interested. Because any way you slice it, you still have 4 members who are most eager to continue to make music. So why the hell shouldn't they?

That was a different scenario. That was just a cop-out. On that occasion they just froze because they've come to rely too much on routine and familiarity. They could have/should have continued.
