Time Tour to go
 

Liked Bekka and the others. But, no CM, SN, or LB is not FM to me - though the Time line up was good - no doubt about that.

Say You Will tour
 

A day without Christine, is like a day without sunshine. And Bekka was great, sooooo......

More than the Time tour, which she did not do :shrug:

I'm aware. FM was always about REinventing itself, and the Time lineup was good, but was never given the chance to blossom. Reinvention stopped after old what's her name. I mean Mick seemed to want to try with Time, but backpeddled. I think Bekka's one of the best singers FM ever had.
AND, I voted SYW because neither one of them can hit any high notes anymore, and that's a turnoff, man....

Say You Will without question. I am still amazed to this day at how at all of the shows I saw on that tour, not one night did they mail it in :)

The Dance is up there for me too, because I got a chance to see the incomparable Christine McVie 5 times.

Round 1: Time
 

.....just because I've never heard a complete boot and I'm a Chiffonhead. I do love me some Bekka, though.

Round 1 - Say You Will tour
 

Round 1: Time Tour
 

I have to say that I skipped that one.

I love the way Mick & John play, so I saw two shows on that tour at the same venue, a year apart. The low-tech quality of the show enabled me to really enjoy the actual sound of my favorite rhythm section, unlike the later FM tours, whose excessive hardware & arrangements buried their deftness in aural devil's food cake.

Round & Round #1: Say You Will tour.
 

I'm basing this on bootlegs, although I haven't heard anything but snatches from the Time tour bootlegs. So I'm voting off the Say You Will tour, even though it remains the only tour when I've actually seen them.

The Time tour wasn't exactly an artistic watershed. But it was a nice, cozy, low-key affair that was akin to hearing a clean, professional cover band in close proximity playing Fleetwood Mac material. It was more Zoo-like than any other Mac tour, & I have good memories from it. It was also, by far, the easiest opportunity to hang out with Mick & John & just chat with them, for those who like that sort of thing.
I'm not sure what that says about you, Gaius, but it couldn't be good! :laugh:

Say You Will tour. Too many extra musicians, without having Christine McVie (like on "The Dance").

Basically I got burned out watching the whole thing go on in 2003 and 2004; very little setlist changes, same speeches every night from Mr. Pretentiousness and same solos a 100+ times all over. Of course, had the Internet existed for all the public in 1987 and had I been a fan then, I might have had the same feelings about the Shakin' The Cage tour too. But right now I'd rather hear another version of Vito doing "Another Woman" than Buckingham playing the "Come" solo to the same effect for the nth time.

No kidding! It took TEN musicians to take her place! :D

Round 1: Time Tour
 

Dave Mason? Bekka Bramlett? What the f*ck were they thinking? An absolute blight on the FM legacy that should be put in its place- the nearest rubbish bin.

Heh... I think you're in for a round of abuse ;)

Neh. It doesn't matter, & I would hope most people are tired of that particular war. People will like what they like, & hate what they hate -- & if that doesn't pass for profundity in Lower Possomtrot, I'll eat my hat!

I just wish the people who impale Bekka or Dave or other unpopular members of Fleetwood Mac on their verbal pikes didn't often turn around & yell at others who do the same thing to Stevie or Lindsey or Christine or Peter. It's the double standard that wears one down.

As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing wrong with saying that one of the Macsters belongs in the rubbish bin -- but don't cry when somebody else says the same thing about your beloved favorite. If you dish it out, learn to take it in equal measure. If you've ever posted anything insulting about any member of the band, you're really in no position to criticize someone else for doing so.

Round 1 - Time Tour
 

I have nothing about Bekka or Dave or different FM incarnations (yes, even without Stevie), but to hear a boot form this tour was like visiting a dismissed ghost house. The mood was scarily depressing, IMO.

That was easy.

I commend you for your words of wisdom which might yet stave off retaliatory and devastating bombardments. My scales are gleaming in appreciation.

Then again feuds and flames are the most entertaining to read. Please take into consideration the deletion of your post.

See Homer & Steve's previous posts. ;)

Time Tour
 

Goodbye baby

Most def. But, she must be seen in comparison to CM and La Nicks and IMO she is the third there, though I LOVED Bekka's voice.


I agree it was a turn off. But, I thought her rendition of Beautiful Child was hainting nonetheless and the two together on SG was one of the prettiest things I have ever seen or heard. In the end, I think SYW will go soon because of that and, more, importantly, because CM was not on that tour and I do not care if they had 40 backing musicians, her absence was glaring to me, though for what it was, it was a good show.

BWWHHAAAAAA :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: take that LB :laugh:

most were there on The Dance

Thanks for sharing, David; I totally agree. :nod: And I am not into personal attacks of any current or past FM members either. And in that spirit, I am sure Bekka Bramlett is a wonderful, caring person who is lots of fun to be around as well. And I don't fault her for joining FM; I would have done the same thing if I had the chance, regardless of whether I had any talent or not. But to my ears, I find her voice to be about as pleasant as nails on a chalkboard. And when that same voice is used to thrash Stevie's songs on tour... :eek: that's just not acceptable.

For what it was.......I've not watched my SYW LIB TWICE yet. No Christine. No high notes. TOOOO many musicians. Same old in between song banter.
ZZZzzzzzzz..... :p

Definitely the Time tour!

Ive watched LIB over 20 times since it was released.

I watched it once, on PBS. I couldn't figure out the plot.

Well, Dave Mason IS in the Hall of Fame (as a member of Traffic), and Bekka is one of the more sought after vocalists for many artists. Even Lindsey thought the incarnation had potential, so it wasn't that bad of an idea. FWIW, the "Time" tours (actually, pre-"Time" tours, to be more accurate, since they never toured behind the album) had the fewest musicians of any post-Mirage tour. And, the tickets were affordable!

The first time I saw Stevie live was in 1990. I was very disappointed in her performance. She looked and sounded like she was going to fall asleep, and she looked like hell. (We know why now, but at the time it was pretty off-putting, and I wasn't all that disappointed that she left.) So when Bekka joined, I felt she added new energy to the set. The only Stevie song that I ever saw her do was "Gold Dust Woman," and I guess my attitude is that if Hole can do the song, why not Bekka? Plus, I actually liked the new arrangement. It was SOOO refreshing, after the 87-90 versions. Actually, I would much rather she and Billy do a song like "Angel" or "I Don't Want To Know," but I would have been MORE offended if they didn't do ANY Stevie songs. It would be like she was never in the band.
