Buckingham receives enormous applause after he performs his new marterial in concert: PEACEKEEPER, WHAT'S THE WORLD COMING TO and SAY GOODBYE, and entire crowd standing ovations for his brilliant COME.

I don't know what's been happening recently, but during the first half of the tour, people were leaving in droves during Come, on a beer or bathroom run I suppose. In fact, I've heard this happening recently too.
I'm sure people are enjoying Say You Will in concert, because it has been getting some airplay, and it's a very catchy song.
We can all sit here and play PR people and say what they NEED to do to sell more albums, get these singles played on the radio, etc, but really, is it going to happen? Is this type of music going to do all of those things? Is Fleetwood Mac still a band capable of competing with the Justin Timberlakes and Avril Lavignes of the world? I don't think so. And no, I don't really think a video would help either.
The music they are putting out is still great, we all know that, but I just think that the belief that FM will be a "hot" band again is wishful thinking.
Just my $.02
