Unhappy Thoughts on upcoming tour....

I've read and heard a lot of this "splitting of ways"/"firing" of Lindsey and I've come to the conclusion that if he's not with the band, I'm not going to the "Farewell" concert. What's the point? It's ridiculous!!! I want to see Fleetwood Mac - as Fleetwood Mac! Lindsey Buckingham is an integral part of the band. It's like an arm or leg is pulled away and it's not a whole team anymore. I know I'm just a speck in the big picture but I will not attend the concert. (I have been going to all the concerts solo and full band since the beginning). I'm sure they will be charging way too much anyway!!!

He's WAY WAY more than a speck in the picture. He's the f*cking creative genius that MADE them the band that they are. This next incarnation is going to be a LAME cover band.

SRhiannon says she’s the speck not Lindsey, you know she’s just one little fan.

Well, I misread who was the speck, but I agree with every word. I think they've made a huge mistake, and I hope they pay the price.

Stevie is the show for many, but they'll sure be missing more than 20%, with him gone. More like 40%! I mean, how many spins can she do?

It's like why? Why go and see a watered down lame version of FM. Mike C and Finn are great musicians but they at this point are replacements. The ONLY purpose at this point to even have a tour is TAKING YOUR MONEY and nothing more. It's gross.

Honestly, I get the feeling none of them (except maybe Mick) want to do this “big machine” anymore. Stevie herself said 24k was her most favorite tour ever and Lindsey and Christine looked so happy in the more “intimate setting” (Christine’s words). If that’s the case, let OWTS be the end of it.
Clearly money is a draw, but none of them are starving to death, and with the exception of Mick, seems like they have a decent handle on how to manage their finances

.���� Should have gone to Specsavers...(high street optician in UK)

Agree your point though, we saw them in Leeds 2015, he was outta this world.
I asked my husband and he couldn’t even remember Stevie’s performance.
I won’t miss Never going back again....

I won't be stressing out over finding floor seats in the first 10-15 rows, I won't fork over hundreds of dollars above face value, and I won't spend a dime on low quality, overpriced merch... but in all honestly I'll still be going as long as tickets are reasonable.
