While I've been impressed with some of the clips of the tour, I made the very hard decision when it was announced, not to go and still have no regrets. I am excited about the "EP" but the Mac will never fully redeem this fan until they put a stop to the "big machine", ie the never ending ATM that is that old and worn out set list going around to the big sheds. I get the classicness of Rumours but 35 or so years on, 3, maybe 4 selections max, not 3/4 of a concert to the detriment of their vast and stellar catalogue and the new music they've kept from we fans for far too long. Would be great to get excited about Rumours and not bored with it, pull out I Don't Want to Know for instance and drop a staple like Go Your Own Way, I'm sure the applause would be just as loud. Listened to "That's Enough for Me" a few times over and what a great set list opener that little nugget would be. Sigh....

On Ice.....you are singing to the choir !!! Amen to that! If The Mac is not that excited about putting out new music, they could at least dig a little deeper into that "stellar catalog" for those of us who having been driving down the road for 35+ years to relish their live shows. "That's Enough For Me" is an AMAZING song that has seldom seen the light of day. Dust off that gem and jump start some new life into the show. For years, I camped out to stand in line for front row tickets to FM concerts (even during the lean/lame BEHIND THE MASK years)......Well, tickets went on sale weeks ago and I have yet to buy them. Guess I'm sitting in the balcony for the first time in my life.........Oh well, at least I have "SISTERS OF THE MOON" to look forward to.
