Oh dear.....
Firstly-who exactly is 'everyone?' Apart from the Rumours 5, there is Billy and Rick, Mike and Neil, Jeremy, Bekka and Dave.....forgive me if I'm not enthusiastic.
My guess is that, hot on the heels of his Peter Green Tribute Concert, Mick wants to do a similar 'one off' concert/DVD/CD

I would rather new music with this current lineup than a performance of just classics with Lindsey.
At least if the new lineup does an EP or album, I won't have to hear DDIO, I Got You and Free Fallin again.
Do your own damn songs! Paper Doll, Angel, I Don't Want To Know, Sweet Girl...lazy people

It's the most pathetic and transparent plea for cash that Mick has probably ever made...and that's saying something for Mick.
He'll cobble together some sort of show with whoever the heck is willing to participate.
It's ironic how in just about a month we've gone from one extreme to the other:
Fleetwood mac is probably done > Fleetwood mac is NOT done > I'll take whatever I can get (Bekka, return my call!!)
It's also kind of a repeating pattern with Mick, he pivots to this concept of "honoring all" or "playing with all" every time he's kind of dancing around all of the interpersonal issues within the band and having issues getting people on board. It's his way of playing offense, we'll do this if we can't do that.

Lindsey likely would not participate in such a carnival. As a Fleetwood Mac swan song it’s desperate and sad and ultimately embarrassing. But who knows?
More possible (and marginally less tacky) would be a night called Mick Fleetwood and Friends (kinda like the Bob Welch event).
it's just NME's regurgitation of what he said to LA Times or whichever magazine a week ago, that everyone else then picked up and made a clickbait out of it.

That ship has sailed. Jeremy is the only other original member of the band still alive. Dave Walker's contributions to the band weren't exactly memorable. The one guy who (other than Peter) deserved to have the spotlight on him for his contributions and foresight was Bob Welch and sadly he has left us. We all know the Stevie drama. Rick, Billy and Bekka all seem like people who would be willing to participate in such an event but the band (Mick) has done everything to try to ignore/erase those years.
There's plenty of unreleased material that he can still milk money out of. Rumours hasn't even been released on Blu-ray yet.

The LAST thing any of the other singers want on stage is Bekka. She will blow their god damned doors off their cars. She can wail like none of them.
Seriously, it would be insanely embarrassing to follow her.
AKA- it won't happen.

yep. Mick is just saying "everyone ever in FM" because he wants Lindsey in but doesn't necessarily want to throw Neil and Mike under the bus just yet. (and perhaps Vito since he played with him in Landon and usually i think does in his restaurant too.)
by everyone ever he doesn't really mean everyone ever in FM, he doesn't mean Billy, Rick, Bekka, Jeremy, etc etc.

I am surprised no one mentioned that I bet there are several surviving former members who would pass on such a spectacle. Most important no way in hell Stevie is going to share the stage with them anyway.
IMHO this is Mick projecting his guilt of the way he has treated most former members of this band. Rick and Billy were not good enough to come back for a tour when Lindsey was fired yet they are going to come back for one concert to pad Mick's wallet. yeah ok

"Everyone" meaning the famous 5. Not a bad idea but about 2 decades too late- may have been even better instead of the Dance - unfortunately one of the most vital early members Danny Kirwan would likely not have been fit to participate. Now though, the main contributors are have all passed leaving the amazing pipes of Bekka Bramlett to shame everyone else off the stage, would be a very sad spectacle and make all vocal deficiencies stand out like a sore thumb.:eek:

Yep, Mickey is so obvious. This nonsense is all about opening up a Rumours 5 reunion. Hell, that isn't even critical, he just wants a tour/show with the three Rumours songwriters. He would dump John in a hot second if he wasn't interested.
At this point, he knows his best bet to make the most post-pandemic money is with the 1975-87; 1997; 2014-18 lineup. He knows that while Lindsey has made it clear he would return, there is no way he's going to join some ramshackle band made up of Bekka, Billy, Rick, Neil, Mike, and whoever else he can scam into joining it. "The power of these five people and the beautiful music we made together is just too strong a force for us to not come back one last time...we all just realized there is so much love between us that we had to play together again" and so on.
And of course I'd go see this mess too. Like a bad car wreck, I'm too invested to not at least have a look. My only hope would be, that if Lindsey somehow figures out a way to even want to go back and stand next to that witch on stage, the days of the fake hugs and kisses are done for good. Too much was spilled about the real state of their relationship over the years and they're both in their 70's. Just go on stage, play the damn songs, and none of this trash for the stupid 'shippers' who get horny for a relationship that ended 45 years ago.
Honestly, I'd rather Stevie tell them to go away and that she's done. A second BuckVie album released under the Fleetwood Mac name. And then a tour with the foursome (and the inevitable army of backing bands they'll need to support them) in smaller venues.

If Everyone means all alive current and former members, we would see 13 people on stage. Then it would be better if they sing We are the world.

In the spirit of their bed hopping heyday they should just limit to to whoever has a carnal connection and that would mean having slept with each other or another band member's spouse. That would limit it to the Rumours five and the still musically active Dave Walker..there may be more of course but I am going with what we know for sure.

According to Billy’s book, your requirement would include him too, then. If this idea of Mick’s ever happens, I would love to see Rick return, as well.

LOL. You’re right about Lindsey. He is eager for the 1975 crew, but he still makes fun of them about Pat Benatar. No way.

I just don’t see Lindsey’s wanting to participate in this sort of thing, either, Jim. He has no emotional connection with those people — when they were in the band, he was out. He shares no band heritage with them. Nor has he ever been a big cheerleader for the band in all its permutations as a historical oddity or an example of continuity. For Lindsey, the achievement and the thing to celebrate (or patch up) is the Rumours Five and the work they did over the years. All his talk about cycles and nostalgia and final chapters are for them, not the others.

I'd think the closest Lindsey would ever come at this point to cheerleading the historical aspect of Fleetwood Mac would be to do Oh Well again. I know most people tend to hate his interpretation of it, but I think it works and he does a good job of it. And even that's a stretch - he's only done it on one tour since 1982.
Imagine Lindsey sitting there strumming along to Don't Dream It's Over, Free Fallin', In the Back of My Mind, or Love is Dangerous? I just can't see it. Although after what went down, I'd never think I'd see the guy share a stage with Mick or Stevie again...so I guess if he'd consider that, maybe I'm wrong and he would be open to an all "star" version of the Mac.

This is the truth. Part of me would want to see the Rumours 5 again, as it may very well be the last time, but the way they kicked Lindsey out and lied about it makes any kind of lovey-dovey reunion really gross to watch at this point. Lindsey always talked about the Eagles' business-only between guys who didn't like each other approach as a bad thing -- now I wish we could get that from FM. I don't know if I can stomach it. I wish I could unsee the fake romance from 1997-present anyway. Blech.

It's so good to see you, David! I don't really hear from anyone. I'm friends with one or two people on Facebook, but they hardly post! (I also hardly post!) It's hard to believe it's been more than 20 years since some of us were on the old page!
Remember all the struggles to try and become the official site or find other ways to overcome the server costs? (All you whippersnappers, we had fan sites for so many things that struggled in the 90s-00s and had fundraisers because server space was crazy expensive!) It's so strange to see things that were very fringe at that time (shippers! fan fiction!) among FM fans have basically come to dominate so many fan groups.
Sociology musings aside, how many OG Ledgies are around these days? As much as I like the music from the band, somehow the last 20 years of being an FM fan have been odd -- I never would have (but should have) predicted that the band would return to their animosity and sniping, but I'm really glad that we've gotten some of the quality solo output that came out and all the bonus material that came out officially on the (many, many) reissues. All the things that were hard to come by in the old days (Tusk documentary, demos, etc.) are easy to find online now!

If he goes back, I would hope he only needs to kow tow until all the papers are signed. Then once they are locked into tours and bound to each other, I hope that they can enforce the one person, one vote rule again. If that is not possible and he is playing errand boy to Stevie (who makes him answer to Karen), then it turns out he didn’t really survive heart surgery after all.

Do you think Stevie is kind of on a lonely island now with no communication with Mick or Christine?
Mick's pretty much been cross-media advocating for Lindsey to come back to Fleetwood Mac... but stating it's up to Stevie whether it happens. I imagine she's probably mad at Mick for that.
All Stevie's done lately is post a photo of her dog when it was a puppy and picture of Carrie Underwood, Bonnie Raitt, Sheryl Crow and Emmylou Harris.

The "Behind The Mask" and "Time" eras of Fleetwood Mac are forgettable at best, and horrible and worst.
The notion of planning a Fleetwood Mac tour to include Rick Vito, Billy Burnett, Neil Finn, Mike Campbell, Bekka Bramlett, Dave Mason, Dave Walker, and Jeremy Spencer is absurd.
Can we bring along Jennie Boyd, Carole Ann Harris, Eddy Quintela, John Courage, Curry Grant, Kim Anderson and Judy Wong as official roadies? Backup singers will be Lori Perry, Sharon Celani, Jana Anderson, Elisicia Wright, Stevvi Alexander, and Marilyn Martin.
This show will be so disjointed and fragmented that the audience will need ADHD meds.
Hell, since we're on a roll, let's bring along Clifford Davis' version of "The 1974 New Fleetwood Mac" as the opening act. The acclaimed country/rock Duo Bekka and Billy featuring Robbie Patton and Sandy Stewart can alternate as the opening act on select dates.
Are we going by bus or private jet? :nod:

I'm not sure he's the only reason it wasn't played on tours with him. But he is a co-writer for that song. Like I think Chris and Stevie choosr which songs they want to do in the set/feel the fans want to hear. Thus, we got Think About Me, Sisters, 7Wonders.

I think Lindsey was behind getting their Tusk songs played on tour. I think he pushed for Beautiful Child and Storms, for example. His goal was probably to revive one lesser heard Tusk song per tour.

Stevie said during Live in Boston or during one of my 2004 Tour Bootlegs before doing Beautiful Child "They let me do it this time".
Who pushed for Stand Back? I can see Lindsey being the one because it's uptempo and was perfect for going into GYOW

I don’t think he wanted Stand Back, but they definitely liked to have a trio of “hot” songs back to back during that part of the show. They sequenced the sustained momentum of three consecutive pulsing songs.

The sad thuth is she never had anyone to do/share those things with. Or anyone was good enough for her. I'd feel sorry if she wasn't such an awful human being. :shrug:
I truly believe that if $he had never joined FM, that $he'd be a happier person. Fame and fortune don't necessarily equate with happiness. Now $he's a slave to those, by her own hand.

Stevie said during Live in Boston or during one of my 2004 Tour Bootlegs before doing Beautiful Child "They let me do it this time".
Who pushed for Stand Back? I can see Lindsey being the one because it's uptempo and was perfect for going into GYOW
Oh Stevie the victim....again. She’s the first person to offer up the “we have to stick with the hits” BS every time the topic of set lists comes up.

Her practice of guilt tripping Fleetwood Mac tours is beyond frustrating. She doesn’t have the balls to decline them because let’s face it, she enjoys the attention, drama, and money. She then proceeds to complain about them both during and after they happen.

Right, I highly doubt that most of the rarities that were pulled out were actually Stevie’s idea nor that she had to fight very hard. I remember reading that Mick pushed for Sisters for a long time before they played it in 2013. But now that was part of her anti Lindsey mantra. Mean Lindsey never let her sing Black Magic Woman before!!!
Drop Dreams and replace it with IDWK, Angel, or That’s Alright. Take Landslide out and toss in When I See You Again :sorry:

She’s a 73 year old with the maturity of a high school sophomore.

I know she'd have succeed even if she hadn't joined FM because let's face it, she was born to be a star. The cost she paid is a different story though.
I think at first she wanted the fame and fortune more than actually being recognized as a well-respected singer/songwriter, and that's why she joined the band. In fact I'm not so sure she ever wanted the recognition from peers and critics. I never read any interview complaining about it.
She's probably now at 73 realizing what she lost in the process, but I'm not so sure about that either. :shrug:

When you surround yourself by a paid YES STAFF, they can do a lot of convincing you, of how wonderful you are.
But in her heart of hearts, I'll bet $he knows. I actually do feel a LITTLE bit sorry for her.
