Has LB been mentioned at all during this tour?

[secondhandchain]

Or has the edict been put down by SN to act like he never existed? It would be nice to say "this is a Lindsey Buckingham tune" before GYOW.

[FM77]

Why would they do that??????????

[KenshiMaster16]

Uh....because despite Stevie's ego, that doesn't erase his significance to the bands history? It's the same reason they could introduce any of the blues era songs by saying, "This is a ________ tune."

Exactly! That goat woman is trying to erase LB's legacy and contributions to FM, and make it all about her. She's WRONG for doing this and has turned into a spiteful bitter old hag. LB has been nothing but classy during this whole thing and even dedicated a song to her on his tour. Before that he tried even narcissistic nightmare that she has become. Did you know most people who went to that show believe that Lindsey didn't want to tour? NOT RIGHT.

Goat woman, bitter hag.

More misogynist comments.

I do, however, think the band should acknowledge LB during the show. Saying this is a Lindsey song seems odd. Since they are doing somewhat of a retrospective, would be nice to do what Kenshi said - say something about the key former members, a little story.

It is classless not to mention LB at all. It is also all of their fault, including Christine. Why she keeps getting a pass is beyond me.

hardly misogynist when those comments are specifically reserved for ONE female.

can i call her an egomanical, deluded goat woman hag black demon witch

because I am female? just because you call one woman (names she deserves) hardly makes the OP a misogynist.

WHAT?????? You have no idea what misogynist is apparently. I call Mick "Old gumby bad scarves". It's not a female thing it's a goat woman thing. The two people the screwed up FM are not my favorite people right now.

Very good point. You tell the audience it's a Peter Green song or a Danny Kirwan song. Why not Lindsey? It's just an identification of the writer, and it's harmless. So why not? Are they afraid that if they mention his name, they will hear some of the audience boo?

Because it would go to reinforce the argument in Lindsey's Complaint that but for his contributions they would be without a leg to (lucratively) tour on.

They're probably not saying anything out of an abundance of caution at this point.

that this is a reaction from supposed FM "insider" speaks volumes.

I think people are looking for things to be offended by at this point. The band is explaining the history of some of the more obscure songs. Stevie tells a long story about “Black Magic Woman,” beginning with how she didn’t know it was originally a Fleetwood Mac song until she joined the band. Obviously, mentioning Peter is crucial to that story. Mike is a guitar junkie and would probably make the same speech about “Oh Well” being written by Peter Green at a Dirty Knobs show. TMATTYD is an obscure song that the band only did on three tours with Danny and briefly on the Rumours tour. “All Over Again” also gets an intro speech because it’s obscure.

The three Lindsey songs are from two of their three most successful albums. People already know Lindsey wrote those, and most people know that he was sacked.

and no, people do not already know anything. or that he wrote anything or did anything for the band. they didn't in the past, but now the band and their PR are trying super hard to minimize anything he did. and we know he was uncredited in the past for tons of his producing work or co-writing work.

it's beyond insulting.
