Well, seven-year-old Australian me didn't see it on that tour. Or in 2004. Or 2009. Or 2013. So I'm VERY happy it stuck around, personally. Sounded good to me.

It's good. Just not explosive with the same passion. And that's what happens when you have to sing or act something a zillion times. They are only human.
But yes, I'm so glad you got to see it. You share so many things on here and elsewhere. You deserve it.

Default Silver Springs...

As good as the version from The Dance is, I think the SYW version packs in the anger almost as well. If choosing between the two then it's The Dance but I think it still was pretty damn good in SYW shows. It was fiery. I always wonder what Sara would have been like on The Dance tour...

Me too. I miss the upright piano for Sara.

The band was rocking during the SYW tour. Fleetwood Mac often steams ahead with real purpose when they have a new album to promote. Even though they didn't do a hell of a lot of SYW songs on that tour, the new material seemed to give them an urgency almost entirely absent in the two subsequent tours--and even in this On with the Show celebration. This is precisely why I want to see a new album from them before I ever see them on the road again. The new music will undoubtedly light a fire under them. That's always exciting to see....

By the way, did I mention how badly I want to see them release an album of new music? I don't know if I communicated that or not.

It's pretty standard for musicians to make music.

Keep coming to this thread expecting to see news on the new album but then I see posts about what songs they should do in concert.

Default Oh Well...

to tie this back to newer music and Hold Me, I hope that the Christine songs have the feeling of the Hold Me demo from the Mirage sessions. She does funky piano so well and maybe Lindsey will keep her songs a little more rough this time around. One can dream anyway. Maybe he'll fill them up with awkward whispers instead?

Now, "Awkward Whispers" would be a good album title.

It's a shame, I really think he has little voice left. When I saw them last, he was ONLY singing what he had to. The backup girls were singing pretty much all the choruses.

Chris seems to be the only one who still has "most" of her voice still intact.

Agreed... she was pitchy to me the first night.. but she improved so much by the third show that I had seen. Stevie was not pitchy at all. But, she only sings 4 notes.

Yeah, live Christine did sound the best, but Lindsey still sounds (mostly) fine on albums. It seems to be only live, night after night, where he has an issue.

When talking to Mick at a meet and greet, he commented that the person who has weathered the best, talent wise, was Lindsey. He said that it always amazes him how Lindsey can be on stage 100% of the time during the concerts, never take a break for long, and keep on "screaming at the top of his lungs, and keep his voice intact." I think those were his exact words. Maybe this last tour was just too much for the guy though?
