There was another screw up during Say You Love Me. The same problem at Chicago where the beginning did not start properly. I thought they were going to stop the song and begin again like Chicago but the band played on like nothing happened. At the end Christine commented "sometimes this thing works and sometimes it doesn't." This new technology is ruining concerts IMHO.

But the biggest mistake of the night was ground breaking. Mick Fleetwood forgot to introduce John McVie during band intros. After introducing the members Mick started Dont Stop and Christine counted down....1, 2 , 3 until they stopped and realized Mick forgot John. Mick had a huge apology. He said he was firing himself from the band. Christine joked when it was time to start Dont Stop..."should we start now?"

John's SUCH a secret weapon, Mick forgot about him. THAT'S SECRET!

I think Seven Wonders and Little Lies sounded better with Billy Burnette and Rick vito in 1987. The intro to Little Lies in 1987 and 1990 was keyboard based like the album version. Lindsey created the guitar intro which sounds classic but I prefer the 80's version. I also think the Mac did Seven Wonders better in 1987. But I would not trade Lindsey for the world and the Mac is lost without him.

That's the beautiful thing about music. Lindsey's great, but EVERYBODY has their place. Lindsey's great at many things, but not every thing. OOTC was great in many ways, but it was obvious that he needed Mick and John as much as Fleetwood Mac needs him.
