Doing mostly old stuff, resting on past glory, and selling out all the way to the bank. But, since that matters not to me...The better question is what have we gotten since?
I would much rather have seen them develop into an Americana type band with a huge cult following, NOT milking the band's past entirely, and had more albums and affordable shows. Become a working band, again, with its own unique identity. Oh, that's right. It's Mick and John. If Lindsey makes a solo record that tanks, it's praised as being an artistic masterpiece, and Lindsey's above worrying about sales. If Mick and John put out a new Fleetwood Mac that takes the sound in a new direction and it tanks, it's just a pathetic attempt at keeping the band they've had since 1967 together.
Instead, we got a compilation, "Say You Will", ANOTHER live album, TWO repackagings of "Rumours", and a couple of grotesquely overpriced Greatest Hits tours that rehash the same old tired songs.
