Buckingham McVie can only happen once, at this moment in time. Discuss.

[secret love]

To me, Buckingham McVie is a one off. We won't see this again. There won't be a second BuckVie album or a second tour. We'll be lucky to see them perform as a duo outside the States/Canada.

I say this because next year the focus will be Fleetwood Mac and before/after that, solo, for at least Lindsey but possibly Stevie too. Christine appears unlikely to release a solo album. I'm sure she would rather release her new songs, and I have no doubt she has unreleased material from the BuckVie sessions, under the Fleetwood Mac moniker.

So much time and energy will go into the farewell tour, hopefully including making new music, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

What would a second BuckVie album be called? Lindsey Buckingham/Christine McVie II? Doesn't fit. They'd have to name it after a lyric or a song.

I still hold out hope that On With the Show and Carnival Begin have been held back to be played in the Fleetwood Mac Live 2018 set. But I doubt it. I mean, Stevie could sing Julia or Castaway as her "new" song but she won't - she doesn't have the balls, except to release those songs on a new half-assed legacy album of vault songs.

It's a sad state of affairs friends. But I eagerly await Lindsey's solo record in January. I'm not excited about a massive dump of Nicks vault songs however. And I'm annoyed that a greatest hits Fleetwood Mac tour I will no doubt attend if it hits Australia, is likely to prevent BuckVie II.

Don't undersell them. They're enjoying this, and have all the money they need. If they're still feeling up to it after the MILKING TEAT TOUR next year, they'll do something.

Apparently FM has two members who are still "artists".

I think after 2018 FMC World farewell tour...
Lindsey and Christine can then record, free as birds, their last goodbyes
to The Mac done...
So 2019 (we are wishing our lives away here) we could get a new BuckVie Album

at their Ohio show couple of weeks ago, Lindsey said BuckVie can maybe do all this again in 2 years.

not that i necessarily believe it will really happen, and on that exact timeline, but it's good to know they are planning on it!

I'm just still thrilled that I still get NEW music from my favorite group of all time. (even though all 5 are not together) Let's face the facts time is not necessary on their side. I do still think the 2018 tour will be supported with new music. Lindsey's "pop album" that is mostly done for a January 2018 release can and mostly likely will be a new MAC album. Wishful thinking maybe but I have called a couple in the past. We will see.......

PLEASE NO!!!!!!!!!

LB fans need this solo album and a tour he promised us back in 2012.

[dontlookdown]

Dunno.

I think Chris sounds very frail vocally. Not surprising after so much down time; but honestly I don't see how they can continue much longer with her unless she does what Stevie did to her voice, which was quite astonishing after how ragged she sounded in the late 80's.

But for now, I'm enjoying whatever this band does. Whatever comes our way in the future will be fun. I just hope they know when to call it quits before it becomes too stale and rehearsed.

Christine sounded great at the 3 shows I attended.

The key was lower on quite a few songs, but I thought she got better with each show. LB was out of tune on a few songs at my LV show but he sounded stronger than 2014 shows I saw.

yeah her voice improved with each show. she never sounded frail to me, just off at the first shows. but her voice is still very warm, and when she hits it right, it's pretty fantastic (and i'm not a Chris fan to begin with, but on ballads like WYWH and GOP she sounded unbelievable!).

and actually, she did have SN's vocal coach with her. on this tour.

The WYWH was so good at my shows, I got tears thinking about Dennis Wilson and the context vs. the intonation.

Is Wish You Were Here about Dennis Wilson? I know Only Over You was written about DW. Not sure about WYWH.
