They did play 2/3 of the show so it was enough. I am sure fans were disappointed but understood the unusual circumstances. |

They could have done Say Goodbye. Or an Acoustic Version of Go Insane

They'd get A LOT of cred that way. With regards to "they should have gone on and played this" or "they should have played that" I think the band reacted pretty well in that crisis. It doesn't surprise me that they only did two more songs. They were all probably freaked out. Interesting tidbit: during the Tusk Tour in Rochester, NY, John McVie was suffering from food poisoning and had to make frequent detours from the stage. Throughout the night, a bass tech filled in for him. I mention this not as a way to say this is what the Mac should have done in Lincoln but as a reminder of how important Mick's presence is to the rest of the band. Without him at the helm, the ship sinks, or never sets sail. (Bad metaphors, I know.) I'm relieved to hear he is on the mend. |

With the inflated ticket prices, people have inflated expectations.
It should be noted that Steve is much more than a stage hand. He's toured with the band for quite some time. In 2009, he was even introduced alongside other band members... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkwTtiorhEg Steve is clearly visible in Say You Love me... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xubf1zQopNw As mentioned above, why couldn't Lindsey have performed an acoustical version of Go Insane? Seems like they gave up too easily. |

This band is so inept, it amazes me it still has the following it does. They can't agree on recording an album, can't stray from the setlist, can't deal with an emergency. It's seriously pathetic. I wish Mick a full recovery. Last edited by RockawayBlind; 01-19-2015 at 12:17 PM.. |

Finally made the time to watch the video. Kudos to whoever captured that; they had a good vantage point from which to film, too.
A couple of thoughts. The off-the-cuff comments made by the audience members sitting around the person with the camera are really funny. "Can't they just play without him?" (Uh ... no.) After Steve-the-Drum-Tech's highlight of his career: "Can't they just go on with this guy? He was good." Another thought: Seeing Chris and Lindsey do that lovely "Songbird" to end the night makes me long for an acoustic Buckingham/McVie show, just the two of them, unplugged. It sounds like an impossible fantasy ... but then, I never thought I'd see Christine (the beautiful Christine) in this band again.

Drumming is a special skill, yes, but if you can do it, you can do it. Every single night, musicians across America get together at bars, garages and who knows where else and play together for the first time. And the drummer falls right int. It's not rocket science. |

I'm sure the thinking was, oh get through this one more show and then we have 3 days off to recover. Problem is, you can't say to the flu-- hey, don't hit me hard until after the show and then you can slam me on my three days off. You're sick when you're sick, and sometimes that's at a time that's inconvenient for business reasons, but tough sh*t. At 68 you have to respect the limits of your body and give it a chance to put its energy into fighting the virus, not playing the drums (or whatever you do). |

I have to wonder if the setlist is just another one of those highly-negotiated points of contention with this band… you know, "well if we do THAT song of yours, then IIIIII've only got 6 songs and now you have 7" or whatever. I can see managers arguing over this sh&t behind the scenes. Maybe this is part of why the set never changes…. too many lawyers and managers get involved. If Lindsey did any of the songs he does totally alone solo, that could ruffle feathers because "you know, this isn't a Lindsey solo show!!" blah blah blah … Plus the fact that he's kind of neurotic about doing songs off the cuff-- he's infected with the same 'omg we have to rehearse this 6 million times' bug that the rest of the band have. Let's face it-- these are not "wing it" kinds of people, S & N. Chris and John I think are far more comfortable with just jamming on the fly. |
