Why am I not surprised----I was amped about this channel! I could already see myself cruising down the street with this channel blaring from my car. I was so excited about what they'd play and who we'd hear from. When I emailed SiriusXM I suggested The Chain as the first song they play when the channel goes live. This was going to be freakin awesome.....

Will they play Mike and Neil stuff too as a way to familiarize listeners with the new members? Will they play Lindsey's songs sparingly? They might play older songs to prep listeners for the shows if they plan on doing older stuff live. Bet we don't hear any BuckVie

[Lola]

I heard the tail end of a promo in the car on the way home from work. Don't Stop was playing in background and a voice said the channel number

[lovethemac1]

Does anyone else find it interesting, and a little bit strange that the initial start date of the Sirius FM channel was dropped about a month ago with no explanation? And that now, the week that they do an interview as a “new” ensemble, and the story of Lindsey’s horrible firing is out, the channel is announced again?

Could it have had anything to do with contract negotiations with Sirius? And Lindsey?

Or did they want to coincide it with their stupid tour announcement in the hopes that it will make the channel, and the tour, more popular?

I, personally, will find it hard to listen to it. I’m so disappointed with “my band” and the bunch of idiots they have become.

I got what I asked for! I suggested SiriusXM play The Chain for the first song on the FM channel and they did. The next song was Black Magic Woman from Live in Boston then Rhiannon.

When I heard the opening riff of The Chain I got goosebumps. I've been thinking about how cool this would be for so long. Even after the channel was delayed I still held onto the hope that it would start up eventually. Little did I know about Lindsey's situation back when I had this idea. Driving along, I was lost in the song then the vocals kicked in and it was like being jolted out of a deep sleep---disorienting and my body screaming NO.......

[dreamsunwind]

Stevie said that the band has Mick who she called "their fearless leader" to thank for Tusk I've never been so confused in my life.

Like she'd EVER give that title to Lindsey!!!

She'd rather choke on a tin can!

[sleepless child]

I listened to the first hour and was surprised at how much older Peter Green material they were playing. And a lot of Stevie. I heard Edge of Seventeen. And an interview with Neil Finn. I'm guessing they held off on the channel until they got the new ones hired and could promote the new mac on this with the interviews. Erase Lindsey I guess. Still bummed about him being gone. I can't wait till he opens up and tells us his version.

[Lola]

omg-----I turned it off after Got A Hold On Me. This was supposed to be me dancing around, singing and playing air instruments with my cats. Maybe it will be more fun tomorrow but today it feels off. If Lindsey was still in the band I would have taken the day off work tomorrow just to stay home and listen for hours. It's bad enough I left 15 minutes early today so I could catch the first song.

I heard a snippet of Neil Finn saying Mick played a little on a record he worked on with his son called Light Sleeper.

Did You hear Chris's intro to YMLF? She explained her songs on Rumours were basically positive except for this song cause it wasn't positive for John.:laugh:

[Neal]

I've had the channel playing at work for the past 2.5 hours, and only heard 3 or 4 Stevie songs; I'd say there's been more pre-B/N music than anything so far.

I am loving the live stuff though, and "Skies the Limit" was a pleasant surprise!

Any BuckVie in the first hour??:lol::lol:

Playing the older stuff was part of my email to SiriusXM. My take was the station had a responsibility to inform the listeners not just entertain. Educate the listeners about the various eras of FM and so on.

Your point about erasing Lindsey or at least minimizing him is a good one and makes sense on why the channel was delayed. Mystery solved I guess:shrug:

yup, Lindsey (and Mick) went there the day before MusiCares and recorded some interviews and commentaries, i suspect. they had to scrub that off, and add new guys.

The way Stevie has been talking lately good lord it's like she has the maturity level of a 16 year old. I'm actually so surprised by it, I don't understand why she's being this way. All it does is make her look petty and immature. It's as if she wants to cleanse her fanbase out so all she has left are the most hardcore, devoted fans who would love her even if she murdered someone. I follow a bunch h of Stevie fans/accounts on social media and so many of them are turned off by it.

[jkmaletic]

I've been listening a little. They've been playing quite a few Lindsey songs. They're definitely not afraid to play them. They played a little clip of Mick speaking about Lindsey producing Say You Will. They have a whole month to fill, so I would imagine they will play Buckingham McVie, Buckingham Nicks as well, hopefully. I like it so far.

You meant the ones that joined 'The children of Stevie'. I think there are a bunch of them here. They're all together in the Post Rumours thread. :lol::lol:

[Neal]

Yeah, 3 hours in and I'm really liking it. There's been a pretty even distribution of airplay - all eras, all singers/songwriters. :thumbsup:

[dreamsunwind]

To be fair, I fully believe Stevie is in some type of strange headspace right now. Tom dying I think REALLY affected her and that it had a big role in this. I mean look at who is 'replacing' Lindsey. None other than Mike Campbell-- Tom's best friend/musical partner. I think when you think about that, and (with all sensitivity) consider/compare it to what happened after Robin died, it's fair to say that Stevie doesn't handle grief well and makes erratic choices in the aftermath due to her grief.
I don't think she would have let what's happened now with Lindsey happen had Tom not died and I don't think this 'decision' has really sunk in with her yet. She obviously knows it's happened and knows she had a big part in it, but I don't think she's fully grasped it. And that's why I 100% believe, with all my heart, that down the line, when she's made her peace, she's really going to feel a lot of deep remorse over this.

Like someone else said. No matter how much you bicker, where exactly is the happiness in getting your bandmate of 40 years/musical partner of 50/ex-lover/person who once turned your world and kickstarted everything fired? Sure, now you can go on tour without getting into arguments with that person every other day, but do you actually feel good? There are people in my life with whom I have some issues, and who I don't ANYWHERE near the tremendous history that she has had with Lindsey, but if I ever let something similar to this happen with them I'd feel awfully guilty about it and I think Stevie will feel the same way soon enough.

[dreamsunwind]

Christine has talked a lot about Lindsey bless her heart.
She's like the only one, it's as if Stevie and Mick can't say his name. And John never speaks anyways so.

People around her should have prevented her from doing such attrocity if they realized she was on such an emotional rollercoaster because of Tom's death. Yet, they let it happen.

Every time I start thinking about what Stevie did to Lindsey and how he must be feeling, I start crying. And I'm not lying. I imagine myself in Lindsey's position and I'm sure he still can't believe it. But I don't know Stevie and how she's feeling and why she did what she did. I hope at some point she feels guilty but let me have my doubts until the tour starts. :rolleyes:

Yea why the fu** is neil Finn speaking so much. I get he’s in the band now but it’s been 3 weeks and he’s literally had nothing to do with anything involving this band. Not one real live performance or recording whatsoever. It really isn’t a big deal but I just find it very funny. Mick Stevie and Christine still talk more but neil Finn should not be heard more then John. And if John didn’t want to speak well then Neil should just be using this time to learn guitar parts and not an radio voice overs !

[Storms123]

When this station was meant to go live in February--they all allegedly recorded clips/interviews, etc--assume they scraped all of LB's?

Oh, I love that he's speaking so much! He wants stage presence! He has a new album with his son that needs to be promoted. Wonder how Stevie will react to his need of stage presence....:D

No wonder Kristen was blaming them first on IG. Later she added Christine and John.

Hahahaha I totally agree! I think Neil is supposed to be the 'singing guitar player' though, and Mike Campbell doing most of the actual guitar playing. I think they just had him talk since they cut out Lindsey's stuff.

[Storms123]

At least she's blaming the entire gang of loons., as she should. Makes it easier for all of the fan bases :)

Yeah, in one of Stevie's clips she was talking about the Rumours lineup and said mentioned how they're all still together. So that was clearly before.

[HomerMcvie]

Wonder how Stevie will react to his need of stage presence....:D

She totally thought she was turning it into the FM STEVIE show. I hope this backfires on her like a night of Colt 45 and a bag of White Castles. :angel:

[secondhandchain]

Me too. Every day I realize more and more that she had the FM Stevie show complete with her Tom Petty friends. GROSS

[Angel75]

Oh, I love that he's speaking so much! He wants stage presence! He has a new album with his son that needs to be promoted.

Neil and son Liam Finn have been touring and recording together for over 15 years. They have never stop releasing albums and music or creating/collaborating with others and have just toured nationally together. The fact they have ANOTHER album due for release is totally irrelevant....it's not like the fan base is the same at all.
This is not anything like LBs desire to tour his solo work concurrently with FM

[jbrownsjr]

They just played "Crash Into Me" from $tevie'$ soundstage.

I had to lower the sound it's so bad. She ruined a beautiful song. Yikes.

I've always liked her cover of that song. :shrug:

I'm telling you guys, I honestly wish Stevie was the one that was fired here. The bashing is just nonstop. Yes I know there would be some if she were the one fired on the other end. But I really honestly don't think it'd be as much. Whatever floats your boat and get you through the day I guess. :distress:

Honestly, how anyone could like that cover is beyond me. The tone quality honestly makes me cringe. And then they played Beauty and the Beast and it was sublime and I recovered.

Furthermore, I've had 3 different posters mention to me that you have been trolling. They are entitled to their opinion, whether you like it or not. I've often read posts by you that incite even more heavy discussion. Thus, I guess that is what floats your boat.

If you don't like it differing viewpoints on current events; you are allowed to stick with the $tevie forum.

And wishing $tevie was fired isn't something I would wish for. I more wish $he and Mick would act like a decent human beings. But again, maybe that's something that floats your boat, too. I wouldn't wish anyone get fired. Well, maybe the Cleveland Browns head coach. But other than that...

[jbrownsjr]

Some great songs Mick played today.

Spare Me A Little
Why
Beauty and the Beast
Miles Away
I Loved Another Woman (takes 1-4)
Stand On The Rock
Child of Mine
Homeward Bound
Never Forget
Heroes
Coming Home

[bombaysaffires]

I would tell Christine Perfect, "You're Christine f***ing McVie, and don't you forget it!"


I saw this on your signature and thought, "I wish she'd tell her that NOW!!" Coz the confidence she displayed in that remark seemed woefully missing in recent interviews and events. :shrug:

Can't bring myself to listen. Won't do it.

Mick and $tevie will not ruin my enjoyment of their art. Just won't support them with my hard money any longer.

I will go see BuckVie if Christine grows a spine.

Come on! You have more sense to know Jamie isn’t trolling! She’s been on this board 15+ years and contributes so much meaningful content including many situations where she’s given us incredibly exciting first hand info to the IYD sneak peak and multiple Qs and As.

Whoever those 3 complaints are need to take your very advice and if they can’t handle seeing different opinions other then “there’s no reason anyone could support this band and not have a moral compass” they can just not read the boards.

And on Crash, I don’t enjoy that song in any form but considering how much I despise Dave Mathews, I consider a slight improvement. But yea, it is Terrible tone.

As for the FM station. I'm enjoying it.

The only cringeworthy songs have been Landslind Live in Bos.. and Crash.. same tone quality... it feels like a record skipping when she bellows.. I just feel like it will never stop.

[Macfan4life]

LOVE this channel
I never heard Why on the radio (other than the live version 1974) until today. I got the chills and had to turn down the AC. Songs sound so much better on the radio. Also heard Homeward Bound. HOW COOL
They even played Hard Feelings.
Really love the interviews and live tracks.

Sounds wonderful.

What a (formerly) great band.

I'm too old to understand how this Sirius thing works.

[SteveMacD]

I’m really enjoying this channel. They’re doing a great of mixing things up. All eras of Fleetwood Mac on random is a decent radio station unto itself.

My only gripes are there seems to be a lot of bumpers and some of the non-FM artists they’ve played. It was a little ironic to hear “Hotel California” earlier today.

The bashing is nonstop because we know she was behind Lindsey's firing. If this was all Mick, Stevie would be irrelevant to me. And if you think it's funny to bash her, it's not. Nothing would make me happier than to know she had nothing to do with this. But she was the primary instigator.

When they played Heroes and Coming Home, I almost fell off my chair.

I'm working so it keeps catching me off guard. :D

[jkmaletic]

Has anyone heard any Buckingham Nicks or Buckingham McVie yet?

[jbrownsjr]

Has anyone heard any Buckingham Nicks or Buckingham McVie yet?

Neither. And I would love to hear either one.

[Macfan4life]

The interviews are great too. They had an interview with Finn, Stevie, Mick, Christine.
I heard today:
Walk a Thin Line
Stand Back live (Stevie solo)
Goodbye Baby (live)
Why
You Make Loving Fun
Gold Dust Woman outtake
Homeward Bound

I only have it in my car so I have to be driving but boy what a treat :)

Seems like Mike is going to be more along the lines of John when it comes to interviews; Neil is used to being the frontman and is used to jumping right in and talking.

[SisterNightroad]

Any Bob Welch era for now?

[SteveMacD]

Any Bob Welch era for now?

Yep. It’s a really great mix.

[SteveMacD]

“Nothing Without You”

Holy crap!

[jbrownsjr]

Any Bob Welch era for now?

Christine McVie was DJ for an hour. She played Hypnotized. Or, it was right before she came on. I was working.. so I'm not sure of the order.

[jbrownsjr]

“Nothing Without You”

Holy crap!

I love the end of that song. The vocals and the keys.

[SteveMacD]

“The Bigger The Love” by John McVie.

This is friggin’ awesome. Way better than I thought the station would be.

[Lola]

After my reaction to it yesterday I'm enjoying it immensely. Someone here (please forgive me I don't remember who) made the point about still being able to enjoy the music. I've dreamed of a FM channel for years while other bands I'm less interested in had their channels. My drive to work was the best it's ever been--half the time I'm barely awake since I'm not a morning person.

On the way home I heard Neil talking about playing World Is Turning. Yep, that's what he called it. According to him he's not a blues player so this song allows him to expand his lexicon and for people getting older you need brain plasticity. He added the song has a unique finger picking style and he can't wait to get his claw hand around it. I heard this with my own 2 ears.

[jbrownsjr]

Safe Harbour!! wow.. I love the sound of this track.

[lovethemac1]

I am just so angry with all of them that I found it a bit difficult to even want to turn on the channel. Yes, I had to take a deep breath and really will myself to do it.

But I did, and found myself with a few tears, listening to Christine talk about Lindsey. She was praising everything about him and his songs. That just struck me as more sad.

Then I heard Mick talking about the "Bob Welch" era. Hard to believe that he was actually referring to the man himself.......and he actually said that Bob was an important and often missed part of the band, and no longer with us. Really, Mick? Could he have not extended the same courtesy while the guy was alive?

THEN Neil Finn came on, and talked about FM, and I thought "What twilight zone am I in??" I have nothing negative to say about him or Mike, but it just seemed so strange to have someone that I know little about, discussing FM like he is a seasoned member.

The music is really amazing though. The deep tracks are awesome. But I am just one of those people who is so disappointed in the 4 that I struggle internally with this channel right now. Maybe in time it will be better and I can reach that place of loving the music without being bothered by what happened. Right now it just reminds me of what has happened.

And by the way, I loved all 5 equally. And I would be pissed no matter who was voted out. But my disappointment with the remaining 4 is tangible and real. And I'm tired of people saying "just get over it." I will mourn as long as I feel I need to, because to me, this feels like a death.

And I will go see Lindsey on his solo tours, and I will NOT see this group now. I would want to give each and every one of the remaining members the stink eye.......not that they would care.:distress:

Yeah, whenever his voice pops through my speakers it's jarring. And for some reason his bumpers seem to be really long; like everyone else has 10 second soundbites and he gets 3 min. monologues...? :laugh:

I fault him for nothing, though. Just sayin'.

This may be a naive question, but how does Sirius XM work? It seems like it is basically radio in the sense that it is streaming and certain content is scheduled for a certain time. So I’m basically wondering if it is worth it to subscribe or take advantage of a free trial. Is there any way to hear interviews or content mentioned here when it’s not currently airing? For instance, is there an archive that I can click to hear interviews, etc? Or do I just have to catch it on the air?

[Feather Blade]

I only have Sirius in the car and have been working at home the last couple of days. Tomorrow I will probably have the usual oppressively long commute though, so hopefully I can finally hear some. It sounds pretty good so far from all your reviews.

Like any other radio station, it is live. However, they often repeat blocks of programming, especially on the talk stations.

I've never used the website, so I can't speak to that, but I do stream from the app while at work. On there, you can jump around and listen to specific segments; it's the closest thing to an archive I'm aware of.

For instance, is there an archive that I can click to hear interviews, etc? Or do I just have to catch it on the air?

I have it in the car and at home but I've never paid much attention to how it works, I just listen to stations I like. You can always cancel after the free trial. Why not call them and see what they say?
The FM channel is playing a lot of great stuff. My only complaint so far is they don't explain much about the eras or who the songs were written by as often as I'd like. A standard Rumors era fan could use more info on the non Rumours era songs.

[Macfan4life]

Oh wow, did I say how much I love this channel ;)

Cruising to work this morning to Emerald Eyes and Homeward Bound.
Are you kidding me?
Best part was driving the Florida turnpike today to The Chain live 1982.

Interesting interview with Stevie about Say You Will. She said after writing the song she thought it was going to be a huge hit. She was sad it was not a hit and the record company was so disappointed with Say You Will sales. She said how proud they were of the album but without Christine there was no magic.
Heard Freedom and Got A Hold On Me and Oh Well live 1975 with Lindsey.

Heard Save Me on the radio coming home. Have not heard that on the radio since 1990 :eek:

[elle]

i've been listening in my car. they play interesting music.

i just cannot stand Mick's voice. and that douche seems to like a lot of music that i do too. on my ride home from work, he selected George Harrison song, than talk at length how much he loves Walk a Thin Line and played that, and then Why.

i want Lindsey's commentary now. and his selections.

He played “All Things Must Pass” just before I got home tonight and I thought “ugh I hate that this pompous jerk likes this wonderful song.” I missed Walk a Thin Line thankfully.

[elle]

Walk a Thin Line has been my number one request from Lindsey since 2011. i only got that one verse back in 2012 in Chicago Winery.

i knew Mick liked it, he said several times it's probably his favorite rumours era FM song. at one of the m&gs i was trying to get him to push LB / FM to play it. he said - LB NEVER played that live...... i was happy to dispute that considering that one verse. when he heard that, Mick looked at me like i grew several heads. :laugh:

but i'm still waiting to hear the whole, proper live version of WATL from Lindsey. :nod:

and, it was glorious and extremely sad at the same time to hear it on that FM channel today.

[Keith]

I've been listening to it whenever I'm home and I'm pleasantly surprised at how they are doing a terrific job with the playlist - playing the different eras, etc.

I'm not a big fan of the artists influenced by Fleetwood Mac - but the songs played are usually very good.

I hope this station stays around for a while.

Just had to pop in and give my applause for the Fleetwood Mac Sirius XM station.

"You Make Loving Fun" live just started... bam..

[jmn3]

The channel overall is pretty cool. I've heard everything from The Everly Brothers to Peter Green to a bunch of Say You Will tracks. I just have to listen and enjoy and not think about this stupid firing Lindsey stunt. I was late to a meeting today when they were playing Sara from the Tucson 1980 show.

I'm less of a fan of hearing things like Boys of Summer which IMO is beyond a stretch to link to the Fleetwood Mac channel. Additionally, I can't get into hearing Neil Finn talk about the band. It's just bizarre. Hearing someone say "When I got called to join Fleetwood Mac, about three weeks ago now.." about their involvement in a 51 year old band is just jarring and bizarre. I know he's technically in the band now but he has absolutely not one ounce of involvement in any of the music at all unless they start playing audio from that cell phone video rehearsal of The Chain.

[SteveMacD]

My biggest gripe is too much Jackson Browne, not enough Crowded House.

[SteveMacD]

I'm less of a fan of hearing things like Boys of Summer which IMO is beyond a stretch to link to the Fleetwood Mac channel.
Not really, though, since the band’s current lead guitarist co-wrote it.

[secondhandchain]

I listened to a little just now on the way home. First up SN's free falling. UGH what a HORRIBLE version. BTW if you get the sirius ap you can play shows on demand. Like Mick's show which of course i wont be listening to.

[Keith]

and I immediately turned on the Fleetwood Mac station (I love typing that) and they are playing "I'm So Afraid" (live version). My favorite Lindsey song and I always looked forward to him playing it live. Guess I'll have to go solo to see him perform it now.

First time I've heard "I'm So Afraid" on this station - nice to wake up to it.

[McLamb]

I'm pretty much listening only to this channel since May 1st. It's great that they are playing ALL incarnations of Fleetwood Mac, and not only focusing on 1975 and onward.

I tend to change the channel when they play the "influences" -- Jackson Browne, Eagles, Joni Mitchell, etc. And I must say, I don't quite get the Peter Gabriel connection, so not sure why he's occasionally being played.

Glad they have played a number of Stevie solo songs, but a bit dismayed they're only playing (so far) very few of Christine's ("When You Say", "Got A Hold On Me" and "Friend"). Haven't heard any solo stuff by Bob Welch nor Lindsey.

Can't understand why nothing's been played from Lindsey Buckingham / Christine McVie. Another opportunity being missed is not playing "I Pretend", the duet between Sandy Stewart (writer of "Seven Wonders") and Stevie, from Sandy's Cat Dancer album.

I'm happy to have this channel, and would love for it to become permanent, though it seems in just the first four days they're replaying the same stuff over & over.

I feel like this is a problem with ALL Sirius' channels.

[Keith]

the more I listen, the more it seems a bit repetitive, but still enjoying. They should ask fans of the band to guest DJ for an hour.. My hour playlist would be, give or take a few minutes:

Hypnotized
Storms
Red Sun
You Do or You Don't
Come a Little Bit Closer
Save Me a Place
Black Magic Woman
If I Were You
Wrong
Everybody Finds Out
On With the Show

Also, the station tends to make me scratch my head at times. For example, Christine was talking about the honor of being inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, then the next song played is Hypnotized...a Bob Welch song??

[Kyle]

I'm enjoying this new station. However, I wouldn't mind fewer non FM songs. I've already heard Witchy Woman enough times.

I just realized that Irving Azoff has a new interview show on SiriusXM station 106. He has already interviewed Jon Bon Jovi. I wonder if he is going to interview anyone from Fleetwood Mac.

[secondhandchain]

Heard a bit of Christine...poor things sounds like her choppers are floating around all over her mouth. :laugh:

[Neal]

Heard a bit of Christine...poor things sounds like her choppers are floating around all over her mouth. :laugh:

When she's speaking loudly (i.e. in concert to 10k people) she seems to enunciate better, and I understand her just fine.

However for years now, her regular speaking voice (i.e. interviews and satellite radio bumpers :p) sound like she's on a chardonnay drip.... :distress:

[Neal]

RE: the repetitive programming - I'm not sure if anyone caught the Prince or David Bowie limited engagement channels when they ran, but they too replayed many blocks of the same songs.

I noticed they switched it up though as the month went on, so there's a good chance we'll get even more variety in the coming weeks. :nod:

[ami0425]

So I have heard them play Stevie and Christine's solo stuff. Has anyone heard any of Lindsey's solo work? It wouldnt surprise me if they don't...

[elle]

on my way home this afternoon, Mick was talking........ about Tango. and how Lindsey left. but that he luckily came back, years later. and how lucky they are that he's back now.

must have been recorded that they before Musicares when Mick and Lindsey went to Sirius to do their interviews.

i now soooooooo want those Lindsey interviews to be aired!! so. bad. i need them!

[elle]

they should. he's been a part of the band for decades, much longer than some others.

but they probably won't. which speaks volumes about them.

So who is responsible for what does get programmed on this channel? There are myriads of FM and solo songs to play. Not to mention all the artists that FM and its' members have worked with. Walter Egan, Lana Del Rey, Kenny Loggins, John Stewart etc etc. Who needs the other stuff?

[jwd]

Heard a bit of Christine...poor things sounds like her choppers are floating around all over her mouth. :laugh:

OMG! I think that's one of the most insulting, if not THE most insulting thing I've ever heard about Christine. But I know what you're saying. Her speech has become a little "slurred"? She doesn't wear dentures does she? :laugh:

[bombaysaffires]

seems like she got veneers or caps or something. quite a few older entertainers (singers, actors, etc) seem to have gotten them and they all end up having the same slurry, lispy or somehow altered speech.

I just watched Roger Daltrey on an interview program and he's got it now too. :eek:

It's frightening! :eek: And not worth pretty teeth. Can't believe caps or veneers would change your speech so noticeably. Wow! Maybe it has more to do with the old age thing.

[bombaysaffires]

right? but I can't imagine they've all suddenly had strokes or something either, so..... Maybe they need to pick better cosmetic dentists!

You know, like some people get really good plastic surgery and injectables and all that done to their faces (whoever Stevie uses does fantastic work) and you can't really tell, and others look like they got hit by a truck. :o

I haven't heard any solo Lindsey either - but, since it is his solo work wouldn't they have to get his permission? I don't know how it works, but if I was fired I would probably not let them have my music. I don't know. It would be nice to hear some tracks from Go Insane like D.W. Suite.

[jmn3]

Maybe. Glad I'm not the only person noticing it with Christine though. Stay away from her dentist! :lol:

I heard it with Christine but also with Stevie too. There was almost a slight shh sound to some of her s's.

They do NOT need Lindsey's permission to play his songs. The fact that they aren't is probably the bands doing. WHICH IS SO WRONG. F#CK THEM! They just have to pay the ASCAP royalty fee.

In Mick's playlist, he plays Walk a Thin Line and talks about how Lindsey inspired him to do his album, The Visitor. I was really surprised to hear him talking so fondly about Lindsey but this makes sense if his interview was pre-recorded.

I wish Lindsey's interviews/playlist would air too.

On the Sirius XM website, you can usually get an e-mail address for the individual stations. Not so, it seems, with limited-run channels. I called and asked for e-mail contact for whomever is running the Fleetwood Mac channel, and was told they couldn't give out that info.

Five days in, and the channel is getting really repetitive. It's easy to see the list of what's already been played through the Dogstar site.

This channel hasn't yet played "As Long As You Follow", "No Questions Asked", "Paper Doll", "Love Shines", "Heart Of Stone" or "Make Me A Mask", among others (like "When I See You Again", though I'm in no hurry to hear that one).

I'd also like to hear on the radio the live version of "Everywhere" from the 1987 Tango In The Night concert video (I have it on the "Save Me" CD-single).

I really like having access to this channel. It just seems like I have a more extensive collection than they do.

[bombaysaffires]

Her shibbolentsh are shlightly shour.

watch Stevie when she talks during the CBS interview-- especially when she describes them listening to all sorts of singers from 27-65. Her tongue is constantly at the front of her mouth almost popping out, and she's rather lispy.
A lot of us commented on how lispy, and slurry her enunciation is on 24k. She's definitely had her teeth done but initially had it done years ago.... if you look at old pics in the early days of FM she had much larger 2 front top teeth and then at some point she's got the smaller, all same sized teeth perfectly aligned that come from cosmetic work. Maybe she got replacements a few years back? Maybe it's just old age slurriness? Girlfriend is 70 now.

[jwd]

I was really surprised at how easy it was to get this. I simply downloaded the app to my tablet. Didn't have to sign up for an account or start a trial subscription. Just searched for the FM channel and started playing it.

Haven't listened long enough to notice repetitiveness. It's definitely not a casual fan Top 40 FM track station. Loving all the early FM songs and more obscure tracks being played. "Where We Belong"(tango outtake), alternate "Rhiannon", from I think the deluxe box set, "Everybody Finds Out", and some live tracks as well. Actually playing John Stewart's "Gold", that Stevie was heavily featured on, as I'm typing this.

I like hearing the different band members with their commentaries. Christine on speaking highly of TITN and how SHE enjoyed the recording process at Lindsey's house. We all know how Stevie felt about that.

Mick was singing Bob Welch's praises and what he meant to FM. Apparently not enough for him to get inducted into the RRHOF though. Then "Woman Of A Thousand Years" is played. :distress:

Anyway, very interesting channel. I wish it was permanent.

[jwd]

Christine McVie "I'd Rather Go Blind"! Wow!

[jmn3]

They're playing "I'd Rather Go Blind" from the Christine Perfect album right now. Really surprised at how well they are mixing this up and bringing in so much rare stuff (although as we know, they're avoiding a certain someone :rolleyes:).

Hey some Bob Welch FM! "Sentimental Lady". NICE! Let's hear it for Bob Welch!!!!

I've heard more Bob Welch on this station than i've heard on the radio in total in the last 20 years. Hearing the band speak well of him is interesting given the RRHOF treatment the man received. While I'm a bigger fan of the Rumours era stuff, that middle period really has some great music. Bare Trees and Mystery to Me are full of great work.

Yes I heard the Mick interview last week how Bob Welch was such a great guitar player and how he changed Fleetwood Mac with harmonies, etc. Even in his latest book Mick raves about Bob. I wish someone would have the balls to ask Mick why he and the band (excluding Stevie and Lindsey) treated him so horrible even in the last years of his life.

She should get a whitening job, they're kinda gray...

[sleepless child]

I always thought something was up when I saw the sometimes it's a bitch video. her mouth didn't look right. Like she'd had her lips done or something. To me it was very noticeable.

They're playing Tango In The Night now. Chris talking before the song about a piece of music she had on piano and played it for Lindsey. He came up with a sightly different guitar lick then they ate dinner together. After dinner she said give me some time and I'll try to write some lyrics. She wrote the lyrics and those are what we hear on the record.

Yes I too am sick of hearing Jackson Browne! I’m not sure I even understand who in Fleetwood Mac he influenced.

Stevie is a fan.

I heard a clip of Mick talking about the RRHOF, and how at first he didn't care, but then he recognized the honor of being inducted, etc. And the next song was the FM version of "Sentimental Lady." :eek: Someone wasn't paying attention on that one!

[SteveMacD]

How much freaking Jackson Browne are they going to play?
OMG, I know, right?

And, when are they going to play some Elmore, B.B., and Etta with the early influences??? Or The Shadows???

To be fair, I also haven’t heard any Crowded House or Split Enz.

[jwd]

Live Hypnotized on now, Rumours era version! Cool!

[michelej1]

Mick and $tevie will not ruin my enjoyment of their art. Just won't support them with my hard money any longer.

I will go see BuckVie if Christine grows a spine.

Just listened today and yesterday. I heard a lot of Lindsey songs, including ISA and Family Man.

Christine described Hold Me as a duet with Lindsey and I thought, "Oh no, she said Voldemort's name!"

Michele!!!!! Don't leave please stay, we need your disposition around here more than ever. What are you thoughts on this **** show!

[michelej1]

What are you thoughts on this **** show!

Hi, I'm lurking and still here. :wavey:

I never thought Mick would do this. It's not that my opinion of him was ever high, but this is something I thought was beneath him. My thoughts are quite venomous.

I fear that casual fans only want to hear the hits and don't really care who performs them, so the tour should be a nominal success. Michele

[TrueFaith77]

Just listened today and yesterday. I heard a lot of Lindsey songs, including ISA and Family Man.

I think the concern is that Lindsey's solo work will not be played. Also possibly BuckVie. This would be a shame as this would be a great way for him to be heard by a new audience.

Your prediction is spot-on.

Obviously super curious about your venomous thoughts. :angel:

I've honestly gone through the five stages of grief.

I'm now at the acceptance stage.

It may not have worked out how *I* wanted it, but I optimistically hope that Lindsey will rise from the ashes and be super-productive.

I wish I had any admiration for the guys Mick hired, but Stevie and Christine are great artists and if this results in more recording from them... then so be it.

Maybe Mick, Stevie, Lindsey were all in serious pain and it all needed to end.

[Macfan4life]

Great songs again today

Gypsy early edition
When the sun goes down
Station Man
Hypnotized

Have not heard When the sun goes down in quite awhile. What a great song. I add it to the list of songs I love from BTM.

[TrueFaith77]

Any Lindsey solo or LBCM? :shrug:

I will check in regularly to confirm.

[Lola]

Holy smokes---just heard Teen Beat!!

Prior to that Little Lies with Chris explaining she had the music written first but no lyrics. She sat out by the pool then after awhile a verse came to her.

I heard John Stewart's Gold yesterday and Whenever I call You Friend. Songbird on now.

[dontlookdown]

I’ve been listening to the Sirius channel for the past few days and for the most part, like what I’m hearing. I haven’t been a loyal follower of commercial radio in decades, so I’m pretty critical. My go to has been kcrw in Santa Monica since the mid 90’s.

But with a catalog so deep, I can’t for the life of me figure out why I keep hearing tracks from “Time”. It’s easily the biggest dog that’s ever been released by the band. I’ve never known of a bigger collection of lazy uninspired songs by one band, capable of so much more.

I know I haven’t given it enough listens but I’m definitely hearing way too much attention paid to Behind The Mask and Time. Clearly the playlists have been “curated” by Mick.

Those two albums are the only ones that make me cringe several times throughout.
On the other hand, I’m hearing lots of interesting b sides and live tracks.
I hope they can get someone in to shape the playlists with more diversity.
It’s an interesting project and I think people will stick with it if they can change up the programming.

I actually appreciate the tracks from BTM and Time. You can hear Gypsy, Dreams, Don't Stop, Go Your Own Way on any channel. I love the deep cuts from less known albums. I wish the inspiration songs were not played as much.
I do think they can still dig deeper. I have heard only one Christine solo song. Nothing from ITM and nothing Lindsey solo yet. They played Nothing Ever Changes by Stevie on Friday. That was cool.

Agreed, I'm enjoying cuts from all albums. I'm impressed by the depth. I don't need to listen to their hits all day.

Musicares was 26th......
It was the 23rd of january.

I heard "Sugar Daddy" yesterday, which was a pleasant surprise, even if it's not my favorite. This morning, I heard a live version of "Songbird" and teared up as it ended. RIP, Rumours 5.

Christine described Hold Me as a duet with Lindsey and I thought, "Oh no, she said Voldemort's name!"

[Macfan4life]

Heard the ultimate deep cut ever this morning: Nights in Estoril. I only heard the ending. What an incredible song with lyrics, melody, and Chris's keyboard playing style. LOVE IT.
Also heard I will run to you by Stevie.
Chris spoke about Bare Trees and how John took the photo for the cover and how much she loved the songs on the album then played Sentimental Lady.

[Feather Blade]

In terms of no one having heard a Lindsey solo song as of yet; has anyone heard any solo songs from ANYONE not considered a current member? I've only managed to listen a few times in the car and wondered if they are just limiting solo efforts to current members only. Even with my small amount of listening, I'd agree with the folks who say they are tiring of the influence artist's songs.

no they are limiting it to only Stevie, Mick, John, and Christine:

no Crowded House, Split Enz or Neil Finn songs. no Dirty Knobs. but tons of TP and HB - 22 so far to be exact.

limited amount of Chris solo while bloated Mick and SN numbers may tell you something too, if you chose to read between some particular lines. also artists with same management are most played as "influences" i believe, so that will tell you something too. :shrug:

meanwhile - i haven't heard Albatross yet. but the search shows they did play it 9 times. so that's good.

Oh Well 21 times. the historic FM song that LB covered on most tours when he was with the Mac, and i never got to hear it live from him. i loved his version (however much some purists seem to hate it!)

[Neal]

We are not going to hear any of Lindsey's solo material on this channel, anymore than we will hear Rick Vito's or Bob Welch's.

Is it f*cked up? Absolutely! But again, their logic is that they're only playing solo material from "active" members of the band. :distress:

agree. it's a convenient logic to cover their pettiness. i'm sure that LB pushed for that channel in part because he loved the idea of solo and influences exposure.

except current members Finn and Campbell are not included (unless when playing on TP and SN solo).

and of course, any logic in equating LB with members of the band who were with them less than 5 years makes zero sense.

[HomerMcvie]

Because the greedy bastards are hoping the general public won't realize that the musical director got fired.

Playing Crowded Petty would advertise it.

i did a search for Go Insane too, which as we know FM covered on multiple tours. guess how many times that was played?? lol

meanwhile, Stand Back? played 9 times as live FM track, and 2 times as SN solo.


i have to rethink the timelines of band members too. there used to be timeline at the bottom of their wiki page which is now gone. Peter Green was really with FM just like 3 years i think? of course his outsized role way outshines the number of years. :nod: :nod:

Yeah.. didn't make sense to me either, but it was a different perspective so I thought I'd throw it out there. Maybe the band doesn't want to confuse the audience into thinking that Lindsey will be there for the tour so they don't want to play too much of his stuff? That might be why they are not playing his comments and thoughts that he probably recorded like they did, before this all went down.
Maybe someone out there has a Sirius XM bootleg tape of Lindsey's comments on different songs and influences that they can post on YouTube or something.

right. that's why they give us those penguins instead of the band pic everywhere for the tour - so not to confuse people who actually know who's supposed to be in the classic era band. ;)

the simplest solution is probably always the one - they are petty.

and they are not playing his comments because the same as that video of him describing his plans to tour with FM, recorded day after musicares, what he said on Jan 23rd would expose their lies. maybe they are splicing what he said to be in line with the bs they are selling. :lol:

oh that bootleg would be amazing! maybe KB has it? of course, people who don't wanna believe their favorites are not saints will never believe it anyway. i can't tell you how many people have blocked me or posted snide replies when i just shared that fan vid of LB talking about his plans. people don't wanna know, they wanna live in their fairytale world.

I think you know that I know the truth, or at least what WASN'T mentioned in the 6 minute CBS interview- that Lindsey wanted to tour solo in between Mac dates, and THAT is likely what the biggest impasse was. Why it wasn't mentioned could've been because of interview editing, or the rest of the band didn't want to get into that because it would make them seem callous (on the surface, at least) for not allowing him to do that. Maybe it will come up in future interviews - I think and hope they will address that and explain it. They should. I do understand them not allowing it though. Lindsey would be "double-dipping" in a sense. Yeah, they all have all the money they need, but it would still be bad in a business sense.

I don’t see why they would care about this though. Didn’t The Pretenders do this in between opening for Stevie? It’s not like they’re doing shows every night or even every other night. It looks like there’s generally space for Lindsey to have done solo gigs at other venues in between FM shows.

I’m just dying to hear Lindsey’s side of this. I think it’s a little petty of his family members to be liking other people’s (often nasty) posts or posting cryptic comments on social media when any of them could come out and set the record straight. I want Lindsey to explain what happened since the band members aren’t saying anything and for all we know the press could have it wrong.

I don’t see his family commenting as best they can as being petty. They are defending a family member. His family, both immediate and extended has been part of the FM family for 44 years, and longer if you factor in BN and Fritz. This is raw for them and am sure they all feel slighted and betrayed in some way (I am just surmising based on how I would feel in the same situation). Maybe they aren’t speaking right now because they can’t for legal reasons, but liking a tweet or a comment is their way of appreciating the support. Maybe they aren’t commenting because it really is Lindsey’s story to tell when he’s ready. Until the band is ready to be truthful and forthcoming about the circumstances (I think most can agree the cbs interview was a disaster) and/or Lindsey comments and the band gets their rebuttal, we are all going to react and behave based upon the suppositions we now know, whether they be fact or not. Lindsey, up until earlier this year, was always meant to tour this year with the band, he and Christine said it last year during their press, and Christine said it during the cbs debacle...until all sides speak, and speak the truth, we are where we are!! Lindsey’s family is supporting him, and I respect that

They are playing Lindsey Mac songs. But its true. I have not heard any Lindsey solo songs which is pretty sad. I have not heard any Bob Welch solo songs either. However they keep playing so many other bands as "inspiration."

The argument you might have is: FMac has given Sirius certain permissions with their songs vs. Lindsey's songs. i.e. Full price for my songs, baby!!

[jbrownsjr]

My guess is after everything is over, we’ll get the truth, and I bet Christine will be the one to give the most unbiased account of what went down.

She already played dumb and said she left for England. Which is probably a good 1/2 truth.

[jmn3]

Surprised to hear just now a clip of Mick talking about Behind the Mask and actually saying “it took two guys to replace Lindsey”...

[jmn3]

What if he withheld permission for the use of his solo material? I can't think of any other reason it wouldn't be played.

Really? After all that’s gone down you can’t imagine Mick or Stevie saying no solo material from anyone not an active member in the band - ahem Lindsey (despite him being in the band for 33 of the last 43 years up until two months ago).

Give me a break.

[dreamsunwind]

I don’t see why they would care about this though. Didn’t The Pretenders do this in between opening for Stevie? It’s not like they’re doing shows every night or even every other night. It looks like there’s generally space for Lindsey to have done solo gigs at other venues in between FM shows.

I’m just dying to hear Lindsey’s side of this. I think it’s a little petty of his family members to be liking other people’s (often nasty) posts or posting cryptic comments on social media when any of them could come out and set the record straight. I want Lindsey to explain what happened since the band members aren’t saying anything and for all we know the press could have it wrong.

I don't think that's fair. This is probably hard on a family, I can imagine it comes with a lot of emotional stress. His daughter even said that it made her cry. They have all the right to express their feelings while also respecting that it's Lindsey's place to tell his side of the story or say that he felt played by his own band.

I heard Lindsey on the way home from work. Got in the car and he was talking about Second Hand News. He said he was "left in the dust by someone we all know" and then the message of the song was kinda "yeah, I'm second hand news but if you ever get lonely baby I'm still here". I laughed at the way he said it, all swarmy like.

I wonder if SiriusXM got complaints about listening to Neil talk so much--seems like I hear him every half hour.

[Lola]

Forgot to add just now they advertised meeting FM in Chicago. Go to their website for a chance to win.

And, he talks SO MUCH. I feel like his segments go on and on and on. Just about every time he comes on it's the XM version of the Gypsy story.

[Lola]

"XM version of the Gypsy story" ha, ha that's funny. I wonder how much talking he'll do onstage. I can see John's face with Neil and Stevie yakking away

I loved the version of "Juliet" that was just played on the FM Station! I hope this station gets extended beyond May because I'm really having a good time with it. It's pretty much all I've been listening to - I'm so afraid I might miss something.

Sirius must love the Tango remixes. :p I've hears Seven Wonders, Big Love, and two different remixes of Little Lies.

I heard the tail end of "Nights in Estoril" this morning. :thumbsup:

ETA: Also, I've noticed a lack of Mirage love. Their other albums (including the pre-BN albums) are much better represented.

Additional songs should be rotating in on a regular basis. :thumbsup:

I've heard the remixes quite a bit. It's interesting that even though Stevie was pretty much absent on "Tango" she definitely shows up on the remixes, especially Big Love and Little Lies.. love her ending vocals.. wailing.. whatever.. she sounds so good on them.

Can someone post all the soundbites from Lindsey so far? I've only heard the one about Tango in the Night and how the band used alot of 80 sound influences ie synthesizers etc

I would like to hear what else he has said. I find it interesting that its been on for 10 days now and this is the first we have heard LB soundbites.

and the feeling of listening and it's so obvious how much he did for that band, and then being puzzled that he's treated like he's dead is exact one i get. interspersed with wanting to break my dashboard when certain other band members start spewing their bs. or when i hear everyone's solo stuff and meanwhile LB has a solo catalog as extensive as any of them and yet not a single solo song from him is played!

My own personal theory (and I am prepared in my flameproof armor) is that Stevie laid down vocals on some of the Tango songs that were not to band standards or producer preferences so they didn't get layered into the album songs, thus they were relegated to the remixes.

The TITN remixes are Stevie gold. She even makes Family Man worth a listen.

Good for Stevie liking that song- I hate it! It peaked at #90, I think, probably the lowest charting FM single ever, and right on the heels of Everywhere, which was a huge hit. But even though it was one of FM's biggest flops, that doesn't mean it's a bad song. In my opinion, it's a bad song. I rarely skip a FM song when I put in one of their cds, but Family Man is one song I simply can't stand.

Same. Worst ever Lindsey song. That and Empire State. His other songs on Tango are so good too, from the title track to Big Love to Caroline, then you have Family Man....

[jwd]

Lindsey is definitely getting more love on the FM channel than when I first started listening to it. I mean he actually has a voice on it now. I've heard comments from him on "Second Hand News" and the recording process of TITN.

The only solo songs I'm hearing are Christine's and Stevie's. I actually heard something off ITMT from Chris today. Not to mention her Christine Perfect songs.

Heard Stevie fessing how noticeably absent she was from TITN and that it just wasn't possible for her to record given the circumstances of her klonopin addiction. But she did comment how successful that album was.

All in all I'm really enjoying the programming on the station sans Jackson Browne, The Eagles, Joni Mitchell, and CSN.

Let's hear more pertinent songs and artists like Bob Welch solo, Lindsey solo, Peter Green solo, Jeremy Spencer solo, Billy Burnette solo, Warren Zevon, Tom Petty, Sheryl Crow, and artists that had more of a connection with FM and its' members.

Come on, you can do better!

Oh and I heard something played from Then Play On for the FIRST time today.

FM! There's a HISTORY there!!!!!!!

oh Empire State is far and away worse than Family Man. I can listen to Family Man 100x over before I listen to Empire State. Lyrically Family Man is pretty lightweight, but the acoustic guitar saves it, particularly the end. Gorgeous.

Empire State, with it's droning, digitally tweaked vocals.....bleh.

This makes me sad too. I can't imagine any of them resting in peace after this. What a shame to end their legacy like this and for them to leave it this way for the youth as well. Sounds like Lindsey wanted to keep creating from his family's perspective. Have to respect that.

Tusk is really interesting because while everyone gets all about how he changed the production of his music, it's really lyrically some of his most interesting stuff and it is ALL about how p*ssed he is at Stevie. What Makes You Think You're The One is all about that relationship. And even the music on that sounds angry -- the drums sound like a physical slap. It's kinda fascinating in that regard.

but from what I've read here and elsewhere, it sounded like he was dead (or never had anything to do with FM)


Ever heard of a guy named Bob Welch?

Fleetwood Mac hasn't either...:mad:

That's All for Everyone is absolute genius IMO.

I liked it at first and I can definitely recognize that it's a great song but after a couple of listens it starts to give me a headache. It just has that dizzying sound that makes it one of those songs where you can appreciate it listening to it as you listen through the entire album, but it's not the kind of song you can really listen to over and over. At least not for me.

[HomerMcvie]

oh Empire State is far and away worse than Family Man. I can listen to Family Man 100x over before I listen to Empire State. Lyrically Family Man is pretty lightweight, but the acoustic guitar saves it, particularly the end. Gorgeous.

Empire State, with it's droning, digitally tweaked vocals.....bleh.

:mad: Imma freak, because I LOVE Empire State. AND WTWCT. Family Man, I could probably live without...

The textures on ES make it VERY sonically interesting to me.

[jkmaletic]

A friend of mine told me that the channel was featuring Lindsey a lot this evening, so that's good. They should.

We really do agree on a lot Homer! ES is very interesting sonically. BINGO. I love the guitar on Family Man and don't hate the song but it's not one of my favs. Now what do you think of That's All for Everyone? I LOVE it. On headphones those harmonies are just amazing.

Yeah, Family Man is okay, but it just lays there. That said, I've never been a huge Tango fan. I much prefer Mirage.

I like That's All For Everyone, a lot. Especially those verse intro chords, Ab-F, which is a VERY unusual progression. Sounds like it could have been on Law and Order!

My least favorite Lindsey song on Tusk is Not That Funny, especially live! IDK why he loves that song so much. It's his worst song on Tusk!!!:wavey:

When the album first came out, NTF was my favorite LB song on the album. I still love it but never liked it live.

All that stupid screaming.

I've told the story a million times, but I had the Mirage video(on videotape) in high school. As much as I'd FORCED FM on my friends(and they like most of it), the one agreement we always had was: that I'd fast forward through NTF. Because they HATED it.:lol:

Love this tweet from Judd Apatow about the FM channel responding to someone who said who great it was. So good.

I don’t like it post Lindsey. It’s like listening to the official radio station of a country right after a palace coup.

[Keith]

to an alt. version of "Storms" - glad the band didn't use that version on Tusk. Some nice surprises again this a.m. "Everybody Finds Out" and a couple of early Christine gems "Dissatisfied" and "Spare Me a Little". Also, heard "Empire State" and "What's The World Coming To" - two terrific Lindsey songs.. now, "Go Your Own Way" live at Wembley.

Let's hope they keep this station going for awhile.. it's like a new friend.

[button-lip]

I love how his family has really gone hard defending him but it's also sad in a way because it's just so clear how much this has affected and hurt them.

They’re indeed a hurt family. I hope they heal soon and rise from all the sh*t the band did to him.

[jwd]

Been listening to this all day. Fun. Especially listening to the live songs and the Danny Kirwan and Bob Welch FM songs. Good stuff!

So I spent a fair bit of time in the car today. Heard way to much Neil Finn--Man does he ramble. Christine better have the whistle at the ready... b/w Neil and Stevie, I don't think they'll be able to play more than 5 songs before they hit the curfew. As someone mentioned earlier, he talked about honoring the legacy of those that have gone before him, specifically mentioning Lindsey...but he wound up speaking for a good 4 minutes. I also heard his thoughts on "World is Turning" Have they recorded something new :) Probably should learn the NAMES of the songs you are singing.
I heard the Christine McVie show which I loved. I also heard Stevie talking about "Say You Will" Mama has a little amnesia I think---she mentioned how they (meaning all of them)wanted this to be a double album and how there are tons more songs recorded. I've seen the "Destiny Rules" documentary many times---Mick and Stevie are TOTALLY opposed to the double album---WTF. She talks about getting into a fight with the label because THEY didn't want the double album....UMMMMM ?

That's what I love about it. It's other worldy, dreamlike and sounds like nothing else. I feel like i'm being taken away to somewhere else...again genius.

Wow. Again with the revisionist history. She actually threatened not to tour beyond the 40 dates that had already been booked if they went ahead with a double album. She knew Lindsey needed to make up money on the tour for all the money he would lose on the album (not getting royalties for his extra songs). He ended up having to cave on that one to get the tour going. Then she played it like she couldn't understand why he was so mad-- she wrote about it in You May Be The One on the IYD album. She was in Hawaii and they were fighting long distance

I hear hear the islands calling
I hear angry words
Flying across the ocean
Like some seabirds
Never stopping
I feel my blood racing
Can't believe
what you are saying
I used to love you
so much...

Girlfriend likes to push his buttons and then stand back and be like, "Wow he's so mad, how can I put up with this when all I want is to be happy and dance around my apartment?" :eek:

I thought that argument was over the sequencing of the track list? Not the double album/non-double album debate?

[Keith]

I love this version of "Oh Daddy" which is now playing on the FM station - I would have used this for "Rumours." I also liked hearing Lindsey's thought about not only the song but Christine - a slow-dirge cynical track by the grounded one in the band. Now "I'd Rather Go Blind" is playing - classic Chris!

yes I think we all have had that exact same scenario happen to us :eek:
Although today its amazing to see Christine pound the piano. I really miss her playing. I was listening to the Mac channel this week and they played Rhiannon live 1976 and Don't Let Me Down Again live. Christine was on fire. She had her own little symphony going like crazy. I miss that playing :(

Makes me wonder if she's really not able to do it now? And that really begs the question, is it physical, mental, or both?

At the Nashville BuckVie show, they started a song, and something was wrong(I think it was just a wrong keyboard sound - but they had to restart the song), and her key tech had to come out and push a button for her. Does she not even know how to change patches on her keyboard?

It's so weird, the difference between In the Meantime and BuckVie... I mean, she played most stuff on ITM, she did some videos for it and even if she was miming along to the tracks for the videos she was fully articulating like she was really playing, and her voice! It sounds soooo good and so warm and Christine-y on that album, and then I can only guess it's studio muckery done to it on BV.... but then her LIVE vocals on BV tour....wtf? Where did that gorgeous voice go between ITM and BV???

I know. I guess age has finally caught her.:shocked: What's weird is that she's the oldest, yet she hang on to her "good" voice longer than Lindsey or the goat. I think that's because she was always more of a "natural singer". The other two didn't really have that. Well, they did until about 35-40, then $tevie went to her 3 note range, and Lindsey took to the yelling.

I don't know but she barely played anything on Buck/Vie tour. Probably stuff that I can do and I have never played keyboard in a band :(

Listening to Songbird take 10 on Mother's Day. Lovely. :angel:

I think because her songs were always softer, her voice was always deeper and she used better techniques for persevering her voice when she was younger whereas Stevie and Lindsey had higher voices and screamed a lot when they sang, which sounded great when they were younger but probably not the best way to maintain a voice.

[Storms123]

Actually heard Lindsey today on FM Channel--he intro'd GYOW and talked about hearing it on the radio for the first time and how the DJ made a comment after that he (the DJ) couldn't find the beat.
Heard Neil Finn again--and I know I said it already, but holy hell does he ramble.
They played some deeper stuff from pre S&L which I love, but I am really starting to wonder--the casual fan who is expecting to hear the 11 songs Stevie says the "need to do", when they hear some of the older stuff (should they actually play it) they are going to be running for beers.
Which begs the question.....how many times do you think the set list changes.
