Calling card?
Some months ago Mick remarked on the possibility of releasing two new tracks as a "calling card" for the tour.
Looking less likely now sadly as the first show draws ever nigh. They did it with Billy and Rick on Greatest Hits. They even kind of did it with Dave and Bekka when Blow By Blow was on the World Cup 94 album. They should definitely do it ASAP given that all bar the newbies are the wrong side of 70 now... |

Two new tracks would be ideal.

and how sad that the whole EP time is being swept under the rug as it never existed now. |
I still listen to the EP because I put the songs on my ipod (yes, I still listen to an ipod). However, releasing a few songs like that in isolation, digital only, almost guarantees they will fall through the cracks. I hope at least one of them makes the 50th anniversary collection being talked of.

IF they release something, I think it’ll be closer to the tour.

I recall Lindsey, Mick and John recorded about 7 tracks before Christine came back on board. I think they may have been additional to the future BM songs but I'm not too sure. Also, I think the ones from those sessions may have just been instrumental tracks but I'm not certain. Edit: in retrospect I think a couple of those songs ended up being BM songs but obviously not all of them. |

But admittedly I'm going off topic here. |

Wasn't there supposed to be some kind of 50th anniversary compilation coming? Maybe the two or three new tracks will be on that, much like "The Chain."

you know, when a dog does its business people use the expression "he's leaving his calling card" on your lawn.
In other words, a calling card can be a turd.... in any sense of the word. |

ENCORE! THAT WAS ****ING AMAZING! A great new song by Lindsey(FM). Too bad Stevie didn't want to participate in some new Mac creativity. Boo Stevie(Yoko)! |

of interest:
https://www.rollingstone.com/music/m...-petty-724996/ Campbell talks about the plans for Heartbreakers to tour with different singers in Tom's place, following up by possibly recording new material with some other songwriters (hmmm, Nicks maybe?) and tour that new Heartbreakers material. so doesn't sound like there's much plan for MC with FM after the currently booked tour is over. and any new material MC would work on seems pretty clear would not be FM. |

In other words - I could never replace Tom Petty. But Lindsey Buckingham? No sweat.
:rolleyes: Well, regardless of that faux pas, I'm glad he's bailing after this tour (if that is indeed true). He knows he's not really a member Fleetwood Mac, and given the chance to make music with his REAL band, the Heartbreakers - of course he's going to leap at it. Get out as soon as you can, Mike! Don't spend years trapped in this travesty of a band! You can still toss Stevie a couple of instrumental tracks from a safe distance, if she ever wants to make new music again. They might as well save their money and hire a sideman to fill the gap. Even the biggest name won't be able to fill Lindsey's shoes, and the ones who are really worth their salt won't want to attach themselves to FM anyway. Or maybe they'll keep Mike in the band and let him tour concurrently! |

I do hope you get to see Lindsey with FM again if that's what you really want. |

Do a double disc like Journey did that one time; one with 10-12 new songs and another with 10-12 updated versions of their older songs. You could do;
Chain Little Lies Dreams Second Hand News Black Magic Woman Say You Love Me Hypnotized Oh Well Don't Dream It's Over You Make Loving Fun Go Your Own Way Landslide |
It would be nice if they could put a little EP together during the mid-tour hiatus, but I believe Neil has a short European tour scheduled during the break and with the holidays and such, I don't suppose they would have time.

I don't see why they cant put something together sans Neil and then get him to add bits afterwards. Christine surely has songs ready to be worked on and maybe Mike could bring something out of Stevie. Its a lost opportunity if they don't use such an opportunity to record something now they've gotten their chops. It would be Stevie's opportunity to show Lindsey you don't need to spend forever in a studio tinkering to make some music. |
