Hi all
What are the odds of Fleetwood Mac playing Christine's Buckingham McVie songs on tour this year?
I'd love to hear Red Sun with Stevie's vocals and Game of Pretend would make a good pre-Songbird encore.
What do you think?
I bet Lindsey would be absolutely ropable if they did this.

P.S. Sorry about all these hypothetical threads. I just really like exploring the what-ifs in life.

LOL Seriously though..it will NOT happen, guaranteed. Stevie, Neil and Mike had zero part in that, so no.
Speaking of...I just put on the BuckVie album and it's making me sad all over again knowing how amazing it would have been as a last FM album. :( I was picturing them singing In My World onstage with Steve twirling as LB sang "dancin', spinnin', dreamin', singin' in my world..." I can hear them all harmonizing on Love is Here to Stay on "wind blows...one way, time goes, but love is here to stay..." Mick getting to show his stuff on Too Far Gone with the drums...GAH! :distress: It just would have been the perfect way to go out...it's such a GREAT album to listen to. Sigh....these people...:mad:

I thought I was the only one who imagined Stevie performing on those songs! It would have been so wonderful....

Zilch. Stevie would never allow it.
I don't even know if Songbird will be included this time around. Christine is doing minimal playing these days. :shrug: So Game of Pretend is a definite no.

They were written in her key after all.

Might be a better shot of hearing Holiday Road on this tour than a BuckVie number

I really don't think so, however I wonder if a buckingham Nicks song will make its way on the set, especially a Coffee Plant demo.
Even if Lindsey were there, I don't think any BuckVie songs would've made the set.
Unless of course they compromised and let Stevie do "Stand Back", but otherwise she'd have probably nixed it. :rolleyes:

Prior to Lindsey’s departure I was daydreaming about Red Sun and my absolute favorite, Carnival Begin, with the three part harmonies!
I don’t think Stevie would be adverse to those songs but I do think it would be in very poor taste to do them now.

Anything that involves Lindsey that isn't Fleetwood Mac will be banned.
Guaranteed. Banned by Stevie, of course. :rolleyes:

She's the worst thing that ever happened to them.
Know what I've banned? Goatwood Mac.

That would be a dream. Or, like they planned... Christine was going to guest in some of LB's solo shows and I imagine they would have played BuckVie or Hold Me or World Turning... Carnival Begin is a gem, too!

She did one in her solo set, so she might think of it as "hers" now to do if she wants (as in, doing it solo has given it an association totally not BN). Other than that one song, I'd say no.

I love Christine, and she has some of my most favorite FM songs; however, she's always struck me as the, how do I put this... least connected to her songs. What I mean is, Stevie has said several times she thinks of her songs as children and can't pick a favorite one because she loves them all blah blah, but Christine clearly does not feel the same way about her songs. She was interviewed for the Mirage Deluxe Edition and she admitted she hadn't bothered to listen to it weeks later. So I really don't think she feels passionate about her set list for the tour, she's more practical and is probably content to play whatever the rest of the band is fine with.
I would love to hear Songbird with guitar this tour.

No chance of BuckVie songs. Amongst all this mess, one of the saddest things for me is the realisation I'll probably never get to hear any of those songs live. I held out some hope of a BuckVie UK tour. Failing that was the chance Carnival Begin and On With the Show might have appeared on a Fleetwood Mac tour as they didn't feature on the BuckVie tour. No chance now.

i know. and that's why Lindsey was #CryingUncotrollably at the end of the last BuckVie show - because of the very real possibility they may never do those 8 songs live again. if he only knew........................

Is this a serious question?! Really? Only when the BuckVie/FM album was in its' conception stage could I hear Stevie's voice on some of the tracks. Sorry, didn't happen then, and IT SURE AIN'T HAPPENING NOW! That's one record Stevie Nicks never plays at her "pad" :woohoo: . Sure she says she's listened to it and loves it, but thems just Stevie talk. We know the real truth!

And sadly I don't think there's a chance for BuckVie 2. No matter how happy Christine looks in all the publicity shots. She also betrayed Lindsey. But we know that when there's a chance of creating, Lindsey can't resist it, so who knows? :shrug:

What a farce...she really did jab it in there no? Lindsey can still create. Keith Urban wants to create with him. I think that would be awesome.

Is there no chance of this still happening? It doesn't seem like Christine had much of a big role in the situation or was even happy about it so is there might still be a chance she wants to maintain her and Lindsey's relationship?

IA with this. I love Christine's songs because they're always catchy and pleasant to listen to but I feel like they're just not very 'hearty', if you know what I mean. Especially compared to Stevie and Lindsey's songs which are very 'hearty' in their own ways.
Wait was he really?
yeah. he started kinda tearing up in the middle of Game of Pretend, and by the time they were doing final hugs he was crying in Christine's shoulder. we figured that must have been because they knew FM tour is coming up and they may never do BuckVie or any of those songs live again.

I wonder if Chris gas done the right thing and actually called Lindsey in support, in my gut I feel like she hasn't which is very disappointing
