Well I wouldn't go that far, Eric,

Why not? Don't get me wrong, Stevie Nicks is very talented. However, I would actually go see a show if it was the same lineup now but with Christine INSTEAD of Stevie. Stevie had some great songs, but I think it would be much easier to come up with a great set of Buckingham/McVie songs than Buckingham/Nicks songs. Songs like "Rhiannon" "Sara" "Dreams" and "Gypsy" aren't necessarily bad songs, but they just sound tedious to me, like they never quite take off anywhere special. "Sara" especially I find rather boring. The setlists I saw for this tour looked kind of bad to me. I'd still like to go to say I saw them once, but none of my favorite songs would get played. That would suck.
It was wierd, even before I started investigatig their music a couple months ago, when I first saw promo photos for the recent tour and album I thought they looked really funny without Christine in them. I always thought of Fleetwood Mac as these FIVE people, and that it just wasn't the same unless it was those 5 people. They went through SO many different people to get to a lineup that proved successful, it almost seems unfair that they're calling it Fleetwood Mac without Christine. She's a "Mac" too ya know.
It's like how Led Zeppelin were those 4 guys and those 4 only, and how Emerson, Lake And Palmer couldnt be anybody but Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. Something about the current lineup just doesn't seem right. It would be wierd having an onslaught of Buckingham songs and Nicks songs, with no favorite songs between them.
But I'm getting WAY off topic! Sorry. As soon as I get my cable modem back I'm gonna have to check out the pop up vid. All I remember was a clip they showed of Lindsey botching some special effect, but it was funny.
And as far as Gold Dust I think I hear that on the radio more than any track from Rumours that was actually a single. Remember Hole's cover version of that? It rocked.
