Yes. She said she didn't see how he fit in with the band, but also remember that they go way, way back. Long before Chicken Shack, Fleetwood Mac, or Traffic. They go way back to when she was Spencer Davis's girlfriend and he was the roadie for the Spencer Davis Group. There's a lot of history there. I've heard a lot of rumors, having run a Dave Mason website in the past, several suggesting that Dave was still a cocaine user, and Christine found that objectionable by that point. I've never even tried to verify that, though.

At the show I saw, Fleetwood Mac played between Pat and REO. Did they rotate spots?

Actually, I saw them open for CSN a year before, and people in my section thought Fleetwood Mac stole the show.

And I can still hear all the people around me, bitching because Stevie wasn't in the band. People suck, and don't understand reinvention. And that night, I became a Bekka fan for life! Probably the best singer FM ever had!

Entirely possible. When FM took the stage at the show I saw, with their moody, sleepy set, it was very anti-climactic. Pat Benatar, whom I'd never seen, was actually quite good on stage. REO, despite the glossy pop stuff played on the radio, is actually a tremendous live band.

Hmm. Now you have me rethinking it. Maybe I am misremembering it. In any case, FM was a letdown to me.

At the same time, Fleetwood Mac was listening to audition tapes, none of which were inspiring Mick. Mick's first choice was Jerry Lynn Williams, but he said no. Per the story Mick and Dave have said, Mick jokingly made the comment, "if I can't find somebody soon, I'm just going put you in the band" and Dave said "I'd love to be in the band."

Traffic maintain the Dave Mason quit the band, and was never really a major part of the band. Winwood considered him to be an auxiliary musician in the band, never really a full member of the band.

Winwood stated once that Mason was only an invited guest in Traffic. I always thought he was an odd choice for FM. I never really liked his songs on Time but he is a good guitar player.

I'm very curious as to where this info derives. I've never seen such a statement about Christine and Dave and what caused the apparent friction.

The OCD in me wants to know why this isn't in the Post-Rumours forum.
