It was beyond an exciting time!

Yes, I remember this picture! There is John, too.



I also remember some article or video, where Mick said something like the worst kept secret is that Christine is returning to Fleetwood Mac.

YES!! I remember her interview where she said she was making music and sending it to someone!! BuckVie tunes that I was dying to hear for 4 years.

Wow, I do remember this photo. And the BBC had her on. It was all so telling.

I'm so glad ya'll remember that. It's not exactly a "I remember what I was doing when..." kind of moment for me, but I definitely remember seeing that pop up and thinking "holy sh*t, is this really happening!?"

It was so great to see the positive vibe that Christine brought back with her and then everything started to take a weird turn by the fall with the tour kicking off and the Rolling Stone cover with Stevie, the passive aggressive comments about not having her promised year off etc. Both exciting and such weird times all at once.

I'll never forget my week of Fleetwood Mac in October of 2014. Road tripping to see them in Pittsburgh and Columbus. Truly some of the happiest adventures I could ask for. Lots of driving and Fleetwood Mac tunes. The roar from the crowd in Pittsburgh as Christine started to sing YMLF...I'll never forget it. Goosebumps.

It's hard to process that within ten years time Mick's restaurant has burned to the ground (where that photo was taken), the entire band has splintered, Lindsey nearly died, and both Christine & Brett have passed.

I went to see them in Oct '14 too, but NJ. One of my three trips to US just to see the Mac. I always rent an economic or compact car but they may give you a larger car, and at that time I got a Mustang. Cool weekend.

I swear, the crowd roar for Christine at the LA Forum almost made me faint. And I went so many times. Which is why I was poor around XMAS 2014.

I thought, "These fans have sold out 6 shows! They really did know who she was!! What a great feeling.

I also went to the second show in London in 2013 when Christine also appeared for Don't Stop. Word had appeared in the press and online about her earlier appearance and I distinctly remember a chant of "We want Christine! We Want Christine!" breaking out half way through World Turning. I would like to report that Stevie was stoney-faced but memory fails...

I was there that night too and that roar is honestly one of my, if not THE, absolute favorite moments in my Fleetwood Mac fandom. It was absolutely incredible. And 4 songs from Tango!? My little 80’s kid heart was full that night. What a show!

It's still one of my favorite videos to watch on youtube. If I'm ever having a bad day, it always makes me smile!

OMG, I involuntarily burst into tears, especially when she smiled.

And I was here, oct 2014, but at the left side, very close to Christine.
