Please tell them to right this wrong. Shame on them! It meant so much to Bob and I have to fight for this for him. He gave so much to that band and loved them so much. I don't know what else to say. <3 Wendy Welch

I agree with every word, Wendy. I'm appalled at the lack of any of Bob's songs in the set-list. Lindsey Buckingham would no doubt claim to be a better guitarist than he was in 1975 - he could play 'Hypnotised' then but apparently not now(?). It's disgraceful and shows a lack of respect to someone who sustained the band through so many personnel changes and actually got the band to move to L.A., without which I doubt it would exist now. And so many of his songs are classics!
I'm even more shocked that they didn't at least send a card or flowers. I'd bet that Stevie Nicks has a standing order with a florist that would put Elton John to shame! This has altered my view of them as people, and definitely not for the better.
I hope I speak for all fans of the band when I say how much we miss Bob and we know how much he contributed to Fleetwood Mac. Much love to you, Wendy.
