"Special Guest" on upcoming tour???
 

Sorry if this has been discussed already, but did anyone notice the promo for the tour says "plus special guest"?? Anyone heard anything about this? Is Mick drumming or something? Will he have an opening act??

thoughts? speculation?

hmmm, this is the first time i see special guest thing. is that for specific venue or in general?

"Special Guest" is just promo hype for "a local artist is opening act" :nod:

Eric Clapton created Lindsey Buckingham? Now THAT is "news"!!!

but he doesn't seem to have any opening acts at most places, correct?

I saw this on nickslive.blogspot.com today... I never looked that closely at it before either. I dont know if this was for one particular show or not, but you're right, he never has had "support" with him before.

Maybe it will be more than just local bands (although that would still be fun!)

Sheryl Crow?
 

Highly unlikely. In fact, Lindsey would probably have to open for her (He opened for Tina Turner in 1993 OOTC tour).

Just curious... where did you pull Sheryl Crow from!?!?:shrug:

There's only a special guest on some of the dates, specifically Napa, CA, the last show of the tour aka Stevie.

My thoughts exactly.

Sheryl Crow
 

"Just curious... where did you pull Sheryl Crow from!?!?"

Just in jest, since I think Lindsey was the voice of reason that killed any possibility of her joining Fleetwood Mac a few years back. Don't know if there are any hard feelings, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Lindsey opened for Tina Turner
 

Yes, that was a very strange bill but it was very good. I had a front row seat at the Milwaukee Summer fest show. Lindsey rocked and Tina was smokin. They both were very good. Those were the days.

Well let's hope that's the case - I HATE opening acts, I just want what I came for! :)

Maybe Christine McVie is touring with him! :lol: (Well, we can dream, can't we!!)

OK, that would be a guest appearance I would find acceptable! :lol:

If Lindsey does go to the UK solo, I wonder if Christine will show up. She attended a show with Mick's Blues band.

Lindsey, please go to England and be wonderful to Christine and don't tell her she burned her bridges or that you're happy to have 33% more room. Tell her you love her and miss her.

The McVie/Buckingham Setlist Before the LB set:

Eyes of the World
Don't Stop
Hold Me
Mystified
Isn't It Midnight
Crystal (w/ keyboard solo)
You And I (part 1 & 2)
The Chain
Shadow of The West
Songbird (w/ LB on guitar)

That's how Lindsey should close his set. Christine would open and he could come and do a song with her. Then after he does his show, she should come out for that close.

I was thinking about Songbird last night. My friend was saying of Winnie the Pooh that he loved it when Eeyore said that he thought that Christoper Robin wanted to be alone (I think Eeyore just knew that tears were imminent and he wanted to get away before they started) and how he walked away out of the Enchanted Forest and everyone else just followed without words.

Well, unable to help myself, that reminded me of Fleetwood Mac and how on The Dance dvd they just put down their instruments and walk off stage without a word to the audience, following Don't Stop. I thought that was so cool. Then, Christine comes back for Songbird and she is the one who delivers the whole band's goodbye song. Which was lovely for the DVD.

But the tour was lovely with Farmer's Daughter with all of them at the foot of the stage too. So, it's 6 of one and half dozen of the other.


But, ok, we know that Christine would not perform songs in the plural, but what if she did come out and just do one? I would be happy to have her song, Songbird as the goodbye song in an LB solo set. Gives me chills.

As long as we're dreamin tho.. I love that set list!

Ok. But Crystal seems odd.

Michele

And blasphemous...

But it would probably annoy Stevie just enough to make things fun.

Michele

Christine has that amazing key solo at the outro.. but yeah even better that it would annoy Stevie.. lol

Christine McVie and Our Lindsey !!!
 

:cool: Michele,
You make us all laugh sooo hard !!! :laugh:

We Lindsey-Lover gals appreciate your
very truthful commentary!!! Thanks!!!:]

he had an opening act on the Out of The Cradle tour.

Did he? I saw him at Peabody's Down Under in Cleveland. I don't remember one, but that doesn't mean there wasn't one.

Yep, he had one when I saw him at the Wiltern in Feb 93. A girl whose name I had forgotten by the next morning doing a solo acoustic set.

That certainly does ring a bell Chili. I think she was selling CD's at the venue now that I think of it.
