They could release a two-discs set of rare demo/live/alternate versions of the songs and tour behind that.

This would kick way more ass than just a Greatest Hits album by itself! Whatever they release probably will (or at least SHOULD) have all their music videos on DVD. If they do go the Greatest Hits route, I hope they do what Stevie did with Crystal Visions and have the regular CD with the hits and (unlike CV) two new songs, then a deluxe version with perhaps a bonus CD with some awesome demos/alternate versions/live songs and two more new songs and then a Bluray with all their videos in HD and maybe some unreleased live show or making of Mirage or Tango footage. This way they can cater to the masses and sell them the same old hits and they can also throw a bone to us diehards.

That's THE IDEA!! A special CD/DVD edition would be incredible, with new material, like video footages.
I really want to see something about Mirage on video! How it was recorded, the studio in France, the sessions. I suppose something like this but about Tango In The Night exists, but not with Mirage. The only I know is how the video of Hold Me was made.

I'm starting to rule out a whole new album...
Regards!

I agree. I'd love to know the background for Mirage. What they did in France, what they did here. Everything that was recorded, but left off of the album. All that inside stuff.

they have five months to repackage a greatest hits with videos and bsides, demos, a few new songs, etc. If they dont give us something... I will be dissappointed...Even if the concert tour had video clips, nostalgia, GIVE US SOMETHING! I hope they aren't touring just because they can...those tours are tiresome. Instead of the boys club...stevie needs to step up to the fore front and do a few atmosphereic numbers like SOTM

They are touring to make money.If the two writers then use said money to help finance future solo projects then it will have served some artistic purpose..but that is all.

I am hoping that that is not the ONLY reason...With IYD Stevie has just proven that at 64 she can still have passion and drive to accomplish something fresh and new...With Say You Will, FM did the same thing...I don't want to believe that FM tours only to cash flow solo projects

Say You Will was nearly a decade ago.Fleetwood Mac has not produced a note of new music since then.The "Unleashed" tour was exactly the oldies cash grab that Lindsey had once criticized the Eagles for.I don't see this next one being any different.Aside from the more worthy causes of funding solo albums the tour will serve to bankroll Mick's latest bussiness ventures and money making schemes.
