They'd better damned well play a Bob Welch song ("Hypnotized" or "Sentimental Lady") this tour as a tribute to a fallen compatriot!

Mick had better been layin' down the law to Lindsey that they WILL be playing a Bob Welch song, so he'd better get to choosing which one he's going to do.

Especially since we'll never have the chance to see Bob play his own tunes live...and probably not Danny either, but at least there's the remotest of chances, considering his health & state of being. And, Jeremy, of course, is still active in the biz, so we have the opportunity to see him play whether he plays any of his songs from his Fleetwood Mac days or not.

In the past 24 months (or less), Fleetwood Mac has lost members...this is the first tour they've done since that reality...so there'd better be SOME sort of tribute to the "Three Bobs" at some point in the set; even if it is a verbal mention. But, since Bob Welch was one of their major songwriters during his tenure, at least ONE song should be included in their set. It would be the rudest of omissions if they don't. It would make the Hall of Fame snub seem as insignificant as somebody using the wrong fork at a formal dinner.
