Fleetwood Mac, (The Band) What's Left?

[jbrownsjr]

What do you think will come after the Stevie tour if anything?

Buckingham/Nicks: I won't rule it out because I never thought we'd get Christine back. But these are slim chances.

Buck/Wood: I believe Lindsey and Mick do love each other. The chances of them doing something together is bigger, (in my mind).

NIcks/Wood: Does Mick even like her? I know $he rules him but when is enough enough?

Finn/Wood: This is possible too. But I'd rather (obviously) see Buck/Wood.

Fleetwood/McVie/Buck/Nicks: Memorial show for Christine McVie. John would need a bass to play. :lol:

[UnwindedDreams]

I think Stevie will do another year of shows in 2024. Heaven forbid she should ever release an album of new music, which I thought was coming this year considering she released lyrics for her song about the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, she’ll tour that into 2025.

I didn’t think Lindsey would ever be on the same bill as Stevie again because it would project that the tour in 2018 was a mistake. However in his most recent interview Mick spoke of Lindsey as if he was still in the band, and in Stevie’s current tour, she has Lindsey on her screen 3 times: Stop Draggin, Gypsy, and Landslide (no photos of Neil, Billy Burnette, or Rick)
BUT
I think another FM Tour will happen, but I would probably say it would be Mick, John, Stevie, Neil, Mike, and Sheryl.

[HomerMcvie]

god, let them be DONE. Because it's over.

If I had to swallow anything, I'd take a Lindsey and Mick project, but I hope that doesn't even happen. Because it's over. Let it go. Stick a fork in it.

[Tusky]

I feel like Mick might play on a few Lindsey solo tracks - maybe one might pay tribute to Christine - possibly John too? I think Stevie will do some sort of solo release next year, whether that's live album/rarities. I'd be pleasantly surprised if there was another album of 'new' songs. If she does this I feel like they might market it as 'the final studio album', like Sheryl did with Threads.
It doesn't feel likely that the four (John, Mick, Lindsey, Stevie) will record again. Which is sad.

[BLY]

I see Mick may possibly play on a Lindsey solo project thats about it. “Fleetwood Mac” is done. I don’t see Stevie releasing any “ New music” If she releases the Rhiannon project I hope the original recordings is whats used.

[SteveMacD]

Move Neil over to keyboards and put Lindsey back in the band. Maybe add Colbie Caillat to sing Christine’s songs, given her familial association with Fleetwood Mac and Christine. Kind of like Derek Trucks in the Allman Bros. While I’d prefer Bonnie Raitt, I think she’d fall under the Steve Winwood category.

[vivfox]

I still think Stevie and Mick will figure out a way to be Fleetwood Mac again but if that never happens I think Stevie touring with equally good bands like she did with The Pretenders is a smart idea. Imagine an Alice Cooper/ Stevie Nicks tour or a Heart/Stevie Nicks tour or a Steve Miller Band/Stevie Nicks tour? Those would be great double bills IMO.

I agree Fleetwood Mac is done. For several reasons. But I'd like a memorial show for Christine McVie, not with the remaining members of the band, I mean not necessarily just with them. If them want to join, good for them, but the point would be with special guests, ala Freddie Mercury tribute show (I don't think it would fill Wembley but it would be a good show anyway, hoping there would be great performers).

About the other possibilities, frankly my dears I don't give a damn. They all are over to me. I tribute show would be the only thing I'd be interested in.

[sue]

[vivfox]

Fleetwood Mac is done. For several reasons.
Fleetwood Mac is never done. There are many touring bands out there with only one remaining original member in them. I know we're all still mourning the great loss of Christine but the show must go on.

[sleepless child]

I think Mick is the thread that keeps them together. I see Lindsey and Mick working together, but I think John is done. Stevie and Mick will work together if she goes back into the studio which I doubt. I would love a Christine memorial concert and the band playing with special guests. That would be great. And a final farewell to all.

[UnwindedDreams]

Just my opinion, but I think the best way of proceeding would be to make a final album using anything from LBCM sessions, new songs from Lindsey, new songs from Stevie. Do no more than 10 shows. Every show includes at least 8 Christine songs from her entire FM catalogue. If asked about 2018, just say we needed a break.

Will this happen? No. But I’d love it to.

This isn't Foghat. It's a group known for their FIVE personalities.

Yeah, idiots will still go to see the old goat, but they're truly dishonoring the legacy of the band, by carrying on as Fleetwood Nicks(or anyone else). It's over.

[David]

What do you think will come after the Stevie tour if anything?Another Stevie tour!

After that, anyone left should mount a production of Hedda Gabler on Broadway (out-of-town tryouts in Boston or Upstate), with Stevie Nicks in the title role, Mick Fleetwood as Hedda’s husband George, Sharon Celani as Thea, Lindsey Buckingham as the judge, and Jimmy Paxson as the servant Bertha.

Stevie already ruined the ending that WE ALL DESERVED.

For me, 45 years of following the same band, only to have the end be some f*cking cover band. Thanks a lot, you old miserable goat...karma's coming for you.

I agree. And there are some who say get over it, but I can't. it was so screwed up what happened. And for Stevie to put out a statement following some of Lindsey's comments in articles, where she says she has years of reasons for not working with him again, I mean please. Enough with that. How many times do you say you've gotten over it and then rehash it again. I just don't understand why the group didn't stand up to her. Lindsey was so spot on when he said it wasn't really about whose fault it was, because we all know whose fault it was, but it was about the finish line of the band and the legacy left behind. The legacy was ruined by her actions. And she talks about how important the band was to her. I don't buy it.

[aleuzzi]

Fleetwood Mac is never done. There are many touring bands out there with only one remaining original member in them. I know we're all still mourning the great loss of Christine but the show must go on.

That’s the thing, though: the show must not need go ahead—and it shouldn’t. Those bands touring with only one original member are often sad unironic parodies of their past. Fleetwood Mac was already in this territory by 2017, but the return of Christine, the hope for new music, and the novelty of the ongoing LB/SN feud made the whole tour interesting…

[louielouie2000]

I think what some of y’all are missing is that Stevie’s narcissism demands the drama and attention her professional relationship with Lindsey and FM brings. She can’t walk away from it because it would starve her of the fuel she runs on. She’ll inevitably get bored of the sycophants she’s surrounded herself with in her solo career and need a fresh shot of hysteria that can only be provided by Lindsey. Now the wild card at this point is all their health. I’m terrified of John dropping dead. But if that happened Stevie would still concoct something, even if it were a FM tribute tour with Mick and Lindsey and other musicians or a Buckingham Nicks tour. Mark my words, it’s not over until she or Lindsey dies.



PS- RIP Christine. This is my first post since her passing. Her death was so unexpected and hit me harder than I would have ever imagined. She was the center, glue, heart, and soul of this band.

[sue]

They could do the Legends spot on Sunday afternoon at Glastonbury…
Just one last throw of the dice….
It’s an amazing spot to do..and Rumours would top the album chart…again

Blondie are on at the moment they are very good and Debbie Harry looks amazing.

[aleuzzi]

If they did anything, they’d need Lindsey. If Stevie made amends with him NOW, after the prospects of music from all five of them is impossible, I’d be more pissed than I already am. They had it all right there in front of them and she quashed it. She had her reasons, but then if she reunites with him in the context of the band, she’d need to eat some crow and acknowledge her part in that missed opportunity. I’d rather not see or hear any such configuration of the band.

She mentioned his name right after the second song in Chicago the other night. For someone who states she made it all on her own and that Landslide shot Fleetwood Mac in the stratosphere, I don’t know why she mentions him so much. Wasn’t he just a moment in her story?

She also said she isn’t ready yet to talk about what losing Christine has been like. I take Christine’s word when she said she and Stevie didn’t talk when tours were over.

Addition: They had all the time to make new Fleetwood Mac music before the 2018 Tour, during it too, and after but Stevie didn't want to; it wasn't Lindsey she didn't want to record with - she didn't want to contribute new music to Fleetwood Mac at all. If Lindsey was Cujo in the studio, she would have never done Extended Play... she just didn't have the goods to bring to the group.

What exactly did she say?

[jmn3]

I don’t see anything happening again. Stevie doesn’t need Fleetwood Mac anymore and let’s just all say, she holds the cards. People are willing to shell out good money to listen to her croak through the same tired setlist whilst Waddy tears through Lindsey’s parts on her FM songs with the nuance of a nuclear powered chainsaw. If she had no drawing power solo, I could maybe see something at some point but not anymore and not at their ages. I also don’t see her giving a rats behind about Mick or his need to make money via another rehashed Fleetwood Mac tour if that situation were to come up. I don’t think she cares. And I don’t think she’d ever entertain bringing Mick into her solo band either. Maybe a one-off but not permanently and I doubt Mick would do it either.

The only likely things would be some Mick and Lindsey collaboration and a Christine tribute concert. And even then I could see both L and S taking part but given how tribute concerts can work, they may never see the stage at the same time.

[HomerMcvie]

And I don’t think she’d ever entertain bringing Mick into her solo band either. Maybe a one-off but not permanently and I doubt Mick would do it either.

Oh puhlease, Mick would jump at the chance. What else has he got?

I think he should slop together some "Ringo's All Star Band", or something like that. Otherwise, unless Stevie takes him in, how long until he files for his next bankruptcy?

[BigAl84]

Oh I'm having a flashback to the days when a large chunk of folks thought the biggest bright spot of kicking Lindsey out was that Stevie would finally make new music with the rest of the band. It was going to be a behind the mask fever dream. Us old timers calling BS on that were being too cranky and biased in our defense of Lindsey. :]:]:]

[BigAl84]

Can Stevie really do solo dates in arenas next year (without a co-bill)? That will be the third year in a row of the greatest hits tour and tickets are not cheap. It will be interesting to see what happens.

I being a Stevie fan thought that would happen. I bought tickets to shows thinking I’d hear new music. Then by the time September rolled around I thought I’d at least get Stevie gems like Angel, Affairs of the Heart, Freedom, or Welcome To The Room… shucks, was I wrong.

I am sure Neil and Mike would have jumped at doing a new FM album in 2019 or 2020 but Stevie took the offers to do corp gigs and festival dates to play a Gold Dust Tour setlist

Oh come on David I don’t think she’s even close to that. Swift just sold 150k in two nights in Pittsburgh. Stevie couldn’t sell out the arena without a solid co-headliner.

I think the biggest thing would be she would not allow it. He would take away from her to a degree. She can’t have anyone with a known name on stage with her in a solo show. And nobody tell me about Waddy’s pedigree because it isn’t the same at all.

Chicago did sell well. But, some of the other shows not so much. When I was in Vegas the same weekend as $he, they were giving tickets away.

She's scheduled for LA here early December and there's mucho seats. Swift or Mac would be sold out. The Billy Joel shows are selling.

Her audience is aging and she’s not exactly getting up on stage and putting on anything THAT interesting anymore. Fleetwood Mac (with any of the Rumours songwriters involved) has always and will forever sell more seats than any of them solo, including the queen herself. Put her, Mick, Mike, and Sheryl on stage as some half assed version of Fleetwood Mac and it will easily outsell her solo shows.

The “new” audience she is gaining through all the TikTok Silver Springs and Harry Styles influenced love is going to struggle to justify those prices. And in that group she’s also competing with the likes of Swift. Sorry, most younger girls are attending a Swiftie event before Stevie Nicks.

If she solidly embraced social media and released even a halfway decent new single with a cool video that engaged people who aren’t in the typical boomer/genx concert circuit, she could do a lot better. Not to mention her live show is generally blah these days. The songs are tired and she looks tired.

I’m guessing she’s making good coin and really just doesn’t care to do anything different or new. And she really hasn’t for a long time.

She’s not a huge concert seller any more, without some market draw from a paired act. But she’s still hella viable.

When I was a kid, I loved her and listened to her obsessively. Everyone I knew made fun of me for it. Now that I’m tired of her music and more than a little tired of her behavior, I see countless people singing her praises. She’s rock royalty…now…when I’m too bored to listen…

Karen would have to do the math on it. Is ole Dick going to take a bigger cut than whomever she has drumming for her lately and if so will those extra 50 seats sold offset the revenue? Steph ain’t giving up any of her money to Mick.

[bombaysaffires]

I think she just loves the lifestyle of being on the road. She's never been good at being home for long periods, despite her decades of protestations that she just wants to live on a cliff by the sea and write and watch the sunset. She'd last maybe a week. Ok, at 75 maybe two weeks.

Think about it-- what really does she have going on at home? She's not writing any more or recording, she doesn't have a family of her own. She doesn't seem to have any actual hobbies..... She's got lots of friends and god daughters, but let's face it, she's not realllllly super interested in giving anyone else much of her attention. Didn't she describe Christmas with her whole family (aunts, cousins, etc included) as her ready to ditch them all by the end of the day??

When she's touring, she's the focus of EVERYONE'S attention. People are away from home, so they aren't doing family stuff, or working in their gardens, or whatever normal stuff her team would be doing. Instead, they are out on the road, stuck in hotels, and focused on making sure she's good to go for the next show. She LOVES that. She loves the power of demanding the presidential suite, of private jets, and she loves the changing scenery of being in a different city every few nights. She's easily bored. She hated being home all during COVID. Staying in one place very long is gypsy death.

[SteveMacD]

Well, she's not selling great. Old Dick might sell an extra 50 tickets?

With Christine gone and John likely retired, Mick playing with either Stevie or Lindsey carries a bit more weight. It becomes the closest thing to Fleetwood Mac we’re likely to get. Kind of like when Ringo sits in with McCartney.

Fleetwood Mac became way for Stevie to stay on the road without over saturating her brand. She doesn’t have that anymore. Adding Mick to her band and swapping in a few Fleetwood Mac songs (Black Magic Woman, Oh Well, Manalishi, Don’t Stop) would be an easy way for her to stay on the road and give people a reason to come to the show. That said, how many more years of touring does she have?

Old Dick is just going to have to accept that 1k/show is better than nothing, and his options are FEW.

He'll still get to be "somewhat" in the spotlight(which the old drama queen needs), and gets to leach onto the fading career that is Stevie's.

After the 2019 Tour, my thinking was the name Stevie Nicks was bigger than FM, but I realized, Stevie’s not playing two nights in these arenas. On With The Show Tour had 3 nights at MSG, 3 in Chicago, 5 or 6 at the Forum, 2 in Texas towns. The only double nights Stevie does are at places like Ravinia which hold maybe 4,000.

I almost went to her Louisville show tonight but I just couldn’t.
You also would’ve spent probably at least $350. Her tickets are amazingly pricey this tour.

But you missed out on a fine cover of For What It’s Worth and the powerful I Sing For The Things Money Can’t Buy

Maybe Sara will return tonight too

Which year was this? And that's an amazing surprise. I love Rick Vito.

I could've gotten $55 nosebleeds, before fees, and I have a $75 Ticketmaster gift card, but I wasn't feeling a five hour round trip today. Anyway, I heard FWIW when I was at the pub down the street Monday night. Yikes! It's an iconic song from the '60s that everyone knows and her version wasn't good. It reaffirmed my theory about why she didn't make an album with Lindsey and Christine (she wouldn't have compared favorably, hurting her image) and my conclusion that it was absolutely for the best.

I think it was 1998.

Feeling old, now.

Are you going to hit the OHIO show with Billy? That should be pretty cool. They can fit about 80k for a show there?

It was probably 94, I’m pretty sure Rick wasn’t in the Enchanted Tour band.

I was talking about Bonnie Raitt.

I’m on the fence. I have a hard time imagining Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks playing at Ohio Stadium. It seems unnatural. Plus, I’m not a fan of Billy.

Ohio Stadium is a sacred place for me. I literally have instructions in my will to have my cremains spread in the Olentangy River right across from Ohio Stadium. Ohio State football is my religion and I’m not missing Ohio State football just because I’ll be dead.

So, seeing two 70s/80s icons there doesn’t especially excite me.

I'll mix your ashes with Woody Hayes and then throw them in the Olentangy.

... And John Cooper... :laugh:

It may be better than seeing The Stones and Kid Rock there. Billy will probably do Hang On Sloopy.

You could leave after Stevie’s set. It’s only one song less than her solo show.

I could see Waddy tearing up the Peter Green stuff.
Waddy, drummer, and bassist, okay.

But Waddy, drummer, bassist, two keyboardists, another guitarist, stacks of computer chips, three dancing girls, and a backdrop of pre-Raphaelite models and flying birdies?

But with Prince on the big screen!

god, let them be DONE. Because it's over.

If I had to swallow anything, I'd take a Lindsey and Mick project, but I hope that doesn't even happen. Because it's over. Let it go. Stick a fork in it.

Agree completely. Even after Mick's "line in the sand" comment, Wikipedia refuse to let anyone edit their Fleetwood Mac page to put the band in the past tense and insist on listing Mick/John/Stevie/Mike/Neil as the "current lineup".

I tried to edit it and got argued down by senior editors.
