How much higher could they possibly go?

the rolling stones??

bon jovi?

the eagles?

all higher or in the case of stones off the charts higher.

that said, other than the diehards i don't see how average concert going legends-before-they-die-watching people who don't even know who is in FM at any given time will pay much or any more with Christine. although with good advertising maybe... but when did FM had good PR lately?

I can see the Eagles doing that, but Bon Jovi are no where near as well known(or good, imo) as those other 2. How much are they charging?

The Dance hit harder than focused fans could have dreamed it would. But I don't know if that was PR or just the state the world was in at the time. And there was the Clinton bump too.

I guess lightening can't strike twice -- 15 years later and older.

Well, Viacom (MTV), ClearChannel, Warner Bros., Ticketmaster, et.al. all had a lot invested in making that album a hit.

The Clinton thing hurt their image more than helped, IMO, and "The Dance" helped restore their image.

Hey, remember that they have signed that new, groundbreaking deal with Clear Channel. I don't understand really what it's for, but maybe it has to do with new material.

Acording to pollstar, which is the company that records all of the concert and ticket data information, Fleetwood Mac's average ticket price was second highest for the past twelve months. Bon Jovi was 4th. http://www.pollstar.com/atpDetail.aspx?SearchBy=

Are people thinking that they might actually have another leg of this tour in 2014? Depending on John? I just want to see what people think...I would LOVE for that to be true!!

i know for sure Mick and Lindsey both wanted it. i was counting on Stevie to nix that. but now if Christine is in the picture, don't think Stevie would be an obstacle anymore, if John is up for it.

I'm sure if they tour again the promoters are going to want to know what the back up plan is incase John becomes ill again...I hope that's not the case but with cancer you never can be sure...

Since this thread is supposed to be about Christine... what do we think SHE would want to do with Fleetwood Mac first? Tour? Record a Mac album? Or would she just be glad to be back in the saddle and not care?

I'd say an album because she has material already ready for a "solo" album(possibly

).

Well, both Mick and Christine have said that she's been writing songs. I think she would like to record first. Also, although I think Christine now accepts travel as a necessity, I can't imagine she's just itching to get back on the road ASAP. I think re-bonding with the people creatively in a studio for a few months and then planning a tour after would be the natural assimilation process and in keeping with what they have done in the past.

maybe you should make a poll?

i'm thinking either record or happy to be back in the saddle.

I suspect it's the last one. That being said, if I were her, I'd want to do a short tour with them again first to get back into the groove of being in the band, which would make for a stronger album. On that note, I'd hope they'd go right into the studio following the tour.
