5 wishes from the 5.
 

Please try to stay on topic.😎

Big Love - done live (Album version)
Julia -recorded by the Mac/ produced by Lindsey
Christine McVie box set of unreleased gems
The Dance- Box set
Fleetwood Mac box set 1975-1987 unreleased/alternative tracks

I hate to be a Debbie Downer but I dont expect anything new with these 5. That ship sailed 3 years ago. I dont have a list of 5 but I would take anything old or new from Christine and Lindsey. I also would love to get all the incredible demos i.e. Sleeping Angel, Beauty and the Beast, Think About it, and everything else officially released. Most important the entire US Festival released or the LA show released in its entirety with Hold Me, etc.

1. Fleetwood Mac to never tour again (in any configurations)
2. Several Lindsey solo albums / tour (with other 4 not bothering him)
3. BuckVie album
4. Lindsey to join the Killers on some dates on their next year word tour
5. 1-off reunion of the 5 for all the fans who want that (or some 10-dates residency some place the longest)

1, BuckVie album with Mick touring with them. It will add to the oddness of their chemistry.

2. Box Set Perfectly McVie Box Set of her solo, Chicken Shack, Perfect, Fleetwood Mac, and Christine McVie years/demos/B sides/BuckVie unreleased.

3. A tour with the talented 4 piece. No drama, diva, or fake monologues where everything is about MEEEEEE.

4. A Christine McVie Blues solo Album with All Stars.

5. Lindsey solo band to change. Guitar, bass, keys, drums, and only his vocals, and the back up vocals. No back tracks, or NONORGANIC material.

This would be the recent deluxe reissues just packaged together?

The only thing I can think of that I’d like from this particular incarnation of FM would be an intimate concert or special featuring some of their more obscure songs, such as I Don’t Want to Know, Crystal, Book of Love, Brown Eyes, That’s Alright, and Over and Over. Unfortunately that will never happen.

BLY, I really like your suggestions about Big Love being performed live like the album version, and a Christine McVie box set. It would be wonderful if her concert specials could be included on dvd in said box set.

I’m not sure how the Dance would have extra material for a Deluxe Edition like all the other FM rereleases, but I know the Farmer’s Daughter and Stand Back were performed when they actually went on tour and weren’t included in the original concert. Maybe their performance of Don’t Stop at the inauguration, too, but they probably can’t release that.

1. Christine solo album, just her at the piano. Songs in the vein of “Smile I Live For” and “Game of Pretend” but without other instruments or silky background voices.

2. BuckVie 2–pure pop confectionery

3. Christine blues album with sympathetic backing musicians.
...

I really don’t want anything else. I’ll support more Lindsey solo albums but I’m not aching for them.

1- Old I'm Not The Boss retires or expires, and Lindsey comes back, and they do what they can as a 4 piece, for the remainder of their years.

2- BuckVie, part deux.

3,4,5.....- well, they're just too old to do much else, if even the above was possible. It's sad watching your heroes getting ready for the nursing home...

Don't cha know, Heroes Are Hard To Find!

Not That Funny, Stand Back, Oh Daddy, Second Hand News, and The Farmers Daughter were all performed on the tour but not at the Burbank concerts. I think that's everything. Of course, Over My Head didn't make it to the tour, and Eyes of the World was played at the first show and then promptly replaced with Second Hand News for the rest of the tour. I suppose if there were interesting rehearsal (either pre-MTV concert or pre-tour) footage or outtakes that might be something for the diehards. I doubt they'd ever put that out anyway. You're probably right, there likely isn't much sitting in the vault to put out. Other than that EOTW/SHN switch, the tour set never changed.

I've said it before that I predict that she will be the last one standing of the five ( whether or not she will makes the triple digits that she claims she will) As for retirement as desperately as she needs to I do believe her about croaking out Dreams and Rhiannon and in a ribbon festooned wheelchair.

for some reason this reminded me of a quote someone made (one his bandmates I think) about Gene Simmons-- in his old age he'll stand at the end of his driveway with his walker/zimmer frame and flick his tongue at the passing cars.

Some performers never can let go.

Speaking of which, on a more somber note, did anyone see the US 60 Minutes program about Tony Bennett? He has Alzheimer's, and they had him do one last concert (I think he had been planning to tour when Covid first hit, and his decline has been picking up speed) at Carnegie Hall. They showed him at home and he clearly couldn't remember people or what he did ten mins ago or any of that, but when his accompanist showed up to rehears the songs all came back to him. Sort of like what happened to Glen Campbell (though his family trotted that poor guy around on a whole freaking tour, long enough that he even began forgetting songs, and that's pretty far gone for people who have sung the same songs over and over for 50+ years).

Will Stevie still be singing in her dementia, or just meeting reporters and telling the same FM stories over and over??

Wow, I’d forgotten about Not That Funny being played- I may have taken a bathroom break for that one. I don’t even remember Oh Daddy! I love Second Hand News but it’s pretty interchangeable with Eyes of the World, except of course more people know Second Hand News than Eyes because it was on Rumours.

Thanks for filling in the blanks!

And the wheelchair malfunctions during GDW. And it just goes back in forth in a very awkward way. and she screams... "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

And goatheads everywhere give her a standing O!!

Her Gold Dust Woman shawl got caught in the wheels .:lol:

It’s incredible how 3 people can hijack a thread. Stevie Nicks consumes a lot of people’s lives, I guess. Bringing her into every topic is proof of that. It’s not even that I’m sticking up for her- it’s just, why? Why bring her into every single topic? Why can’t people just say what they want to see from the band without turning this thread into another Stevie thread? I’m sick of anything Stevie, but it’s impossible to talk about anything else when 3 people continually, and for no reason, inexplicably bring her into the conversation. Every time. Usually it takes a page or two before one of those folks bring her name up, but here it took one page. Ah well. I know I shouldn’t say anything because it won’t do any good and will only bring about the same response that’s always given- calling me a chiffonhead, etc. instead of any real genuine response.

Chiffonhead, be thine name. At least it's on the table, now. :angel:
Own it.

Your Doppelganger. He slept right through Oh Daddy and does not remember it from the Dance tour. Are you possibly writing under other names here? Hmmmm. Oh Daddy was a highlight from that tour since it had not been performed on stage since the 1970s.
Even Stevie said it is her favorite song from Chris to perform on stage.

OMG... I woke up to this. :laugh::wavey:

You and the Oh Daddy. I'll bet you scream that regularly. :lol::wavey::laugh:

I agree. I think she'll be the last one, too. Because you know what they say, "only the good die young".

$he's gonna live forever.

There are just a few FM songs I hate, but Oh Daddy, When I See You again, and Family Man top that list. I really don’t remember Oh Daddy being performed but I probably just don’t remember it, which must mean I must not have HATED the performance.

I'll follow you down to the sound of my OH DADDY will haunt you


:)

You and Homer must be twins :lol:

I have to agree with Stevie when she said as magic as Fleetwood Mac can get, it does not get more magical than performing Oh Daddy on stage.

Maybe you are Homer.
Maybe I am Stevie

;)

I love When I See You Again
I love Oh Daddy
I love Family Man

They have performed Oh Daddy on several tours. The other two songs... NEVER!!! Can you imagine?

Oh Daddy is a SNOOZEFEST. Just admit it.

It was a nice rendition, too. With Brett Tuggle aboard, it was the first and only time the song had ever been done in concert with both a piano and a B3. I think Brett played a very nice, very audible piano part and Chris did her B3. It sounded very full and lush. The backup singers sang the backup vocals Stevie used to sing. The Irvine Meadows show was broadcast on national radio, and Daddy was included. Even people who ordinarily don’t like the song might love this Irvine performance.

Here's Daddy from Pittsburgh, audience. They threw a lot of reverb on the lead vocal.

Look, it’s already been well established Stevie is a liar, so of course she was lying when she said Oh Daddy was a favorite of hers!

I think when FM performed Oh Daddy in my area for the Dance, they changed the words, which was why I didn’t remember it… I believe they called it Oh Mick. As you know, the song was written for and about him.

Homer and I listened to Oh Daddy last night and we could only get through 30 seconds before he turned it off. He kept saying it would have been a really good song if Stevie had sang lead on it instead of Christine, but I think it would have sucked no matter who sang it. Except maybe Mike Campbell.

Maybe if Bekka, Billy, and Neil sang them, they would sound good!

OOOOFFFFF. I did love the songs and players on the BTM tour. But that's a bridge too far for me. :o:cool::angel:

Billy singing WISYA and Neil singing “Family Man” wouldn’t make the songs worse, but I think those songs have a ceiling.

Bekka doing “Oh Daddy” could be very interesting, since it’s basically a blues song (not too removed from “Wait & See” from Christine Perfect). She could definitely belt out during the chorus.

No no, I was thinking Billy would sing When I See You Again and Bekka singing Family Man and Neil singing Oh Daddy.

I would be in a straight jacket staring at the stairs. ... and would keep repeating, "and the dream is gone"

LOL What’s a matter baby… baby… BABY! :]

ANYONE should be able to admit that she's DELUSIONAL. She lives in fantasy land, along with her version of the truth(delusions).

You shouldn't have left so early last night. I was over my head, waiting for you to say you love me, and that the skies the limit, and that you're mystified.

You were the most gracious host! When I arrived, you said Welcome to the Room and when I left you said Goodbye Baby. When I apologized for getting cranky on here, you said That’s Alright, but if you do it again you can go Straight back to you know where!

Anabelle Lee is pissed! But, that's all right.

I found it boring, but harmless initially. If they hadn’t done it live, I would be happy to ignore it. But I have so many bootlegs with it on there that I came to hate it.

I definitely want a Dance deluxe version.

That is my wish for 2022.

They have done pretty well everything else.

Just the full DVD concert, plus good versions of Second Hand News, Oh Daddy, Stand Back, Farmer’s Daughter, Not That Funny and if they have it Eyes of the World. I’m not sure if decent versions of those exist which could be used - I know there was a radio broadcast with them on…

:shrug:
