Another Fleetwood Mac tour...Are we happy or not??
 

I now this may be an unpopular opinion but I'm so disapponted with the news of another greatest hits FM tour in 2013...I wish Stevie would gracefully say bye bye to the boys and go solo... Lindseys excesses live now just bore me....I feel that Stevie just walked through the last two FM tours....Shes ALIVE during her solo tours...Any thoughts?:confused:

I'm disappointed not because it's Fleetwood Mac, but because this likely means we won't see any new material. Which means there will probably never be new Fleetwood Mac material.

Looking an the bright side, I'll be giddy at the prospect of seeing them live as soon as I'm over the disappointment. I became a fan right after Unleashed, so I've never seen them in person.

I'm happy about it -- but not as happy as I would be if it was BN or FM with new material...

Mezz, thats great for you!! :wavey: I'm an old timer and I've seen them since the Tusk tour and have seen Stevie since The Wild Heart tour....Time is ticking bye and I'm disappointed that there wont be any new material....Stevie seems to let the "boys play" during these last two tours and I'm not interested in hearing Lindsey grunt and groan for two hours...lol...I am happy for you tho...There's a real possibility that they might put some hidden jewels in the setlist...

This is me to a tee.

I can see why most aren't too thrilled about the prospect, but I've only been a fan since 2010, so I've never seen them live. And this may be my only ever chance lol.

If they add Hypnotized w/ Stevie on vox, I'd go.

I think I would need to hear Sister of the Moon, Angel and Seven Wonders to be excited about any FM tour

BTW, I can't find any announcement about a tour, or even another hits tour.

All I saw was something about movies on Rhiannon and Goldfish and Ladybug movies, which I've learnd is code for no Fleetwood for 18 months at a minimum.

LOL i had heard Stevie announced it on the red carpet last night for the award ceremony where she inducted Bette Midler for lifetime achievement award

I prefer new material to tours. What a bummer. Stevie, being the "prolific songwriter" that she is, should be making more music, not doing more randmom tours with Rod and then Mac with nothing new out. Big, major bummer. : (

UNLESS they use the tour to finally release the IYD documentary, hoping it will stir up interest. Otherwise, totally could care less.

Wonder if Stevie will ask Mac to do any of her IYD songs live?

Sounds silly, but in the 70's-80's it could be fun seeing as many live shows as possible. The songs were not as "old" and been done to death yet, and Stevie's wardrobe and hair and looks changed so often, and her vibe of the songs, it was always something fresh. I just don't feel that any more. So I'd rather have new material. Even with that, they don't play enough of it live when they DO have it, but at least we have the cd at home.

I completely agree with all of this:nod:

Prolific my a$$! The guy I work for releases 5 albums a year, and most are at least as good as if not way better than what we wait years for from Stevie and Lindsey a few times a decade if we're lucky.

Wow. A few words from Stevie as she passes by on a red carpet and you all know the setlist.

Look, as Mezzo said, there are people who've never seen them at all or not for decades, and it's only June, and who the hell knows what they'll do? Do I have my own wishlist of what I hope will happen? Of course I do. But y'know, if you don't like how it looks when the FM 2013 circus some to your town, don't go. Meantime, could you not pee on my parade? Ta.

Most of us have years of Fleetwood Mac tour experience, and we know all too well that the setlist has barely changed since 1980. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to predict what they'll be playing next year.
