I still want to know...did they just forget about the killer guitar solo during Rhiannon and Sisters of The Moon? In the case of Rhiannon, did it get cut because of the new piano intro in 97 and every tour rehearsal since it just fell under the radar?
I've always wondered how much the removal of those solos was purposeful or just somehow forgotten.

Sisters was totally a victim of 31 years of inactivity. I doubt very much they went back to the 1982 shows or anything from Tusk when relearning the song. My guess is they played the studio track and tried their best to recreate that. In no way was Stevie EVER going to be able to carry the studio "to meeeeeeeeeeee" in 2013 so while 'her girls' did there wooooowoooo parts she chanted "sistahhhh" which was mediocre, but not awful. I didn't hate 2013-15 Sisters as much as most seem to but it sure as hell wasn't anything on 1978-82. I thought Christine added something when she returned on the keyboards that was missing during the 2013 tour. The Chain was totally neutered in 1997 and the arrangement has not changed since. I think also they were at a time trying to fit more songs into the show, so the solos had to be removed or shortened. Meanwhile, we had to endure 12 minutes of the Gold Dust Woman crackhead dance and Mick's stupid drum solo. As for what they did in 2018 when the set dropped to what, 18-19 songs....no excuses. Side note - the tight 5.5 minute version of Gold Dust Woman in 1997 is one of my favorites. I don't need the extra fluff that they later added on that one. |

when Christine came back, and especially on BuckVie tour, he was like a new man enjoying doing guitar solos on her songs - because Christine was happy to let him solo however he wanted. you could see him loving the You Make Loving Fun guitar parts.

Sorry guys if this sounds sarcastic, but after five pages in this thread, narcissism or not, one can imagine that Stevie Nicks somehow still rocks . As Oscar Wilde said, "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."

However, when I later saw Rick play guitar and sing, first for Bonnie Raitt and second for Stevie Nicks, it was like night and day. He was so much studlier as a guitar player with those two acts than he had ever been in Fleetwood Mac. He took control of the songs for Bonnie and Stevie and opened them up like a sports car on an empty highway. In Fleetwood Mac, he was just driving the limousine.

Another thing that pushed things in a new direction—I think—is the transformation of the technology of live music. In a nutshell, you went from electric and electronic in the seventies: analog synths, tube technology, vocoders, wah pedals, two-channel stereo for keyboards (like Christine’s own late-seventies board, the Yamaha CP30), manual samplers like the Mellotron (which used Cr02 tape), and all the fun stuff musicians screwed around with in the studio and onstage (usually they played shows with the same instruments they were using in studios). In the early eighties, what changed? The digital revolution and an initial turn away from vintage sound. It’s funny but digital technology down the line was actually used to replicate vintage sound. This revolution in the size and sound of microprocessors really influenced what all these bands sounded like in concert. The technology in recording has always been great because it eliminated leakage without having to put everyone in separate rooms. But in a live setting, you look for a kinetic strength that the vintage approach was so great at capturing. And let’s face it: drugs, too.

Hey nerd boy, a friend was axing me what keyboard Christine used on Think About Me(in the studio). I told him I wasn't quite that nerdy, but had a friend who would know! Yes, I was bragging on you.
So what was it?
