But, I'm not sure Billy had the assertiveness that's required to lead a band down a new path, like Lindsey had. The problem magnified when Dave Mason joined, because they were also being subservient to his legacy instead of focusing on new material as well as Billy's BTM songs.

And that is exactly what I didn't like about the post Tango/pre- Dance Line-ups of FM in a nutshell. Thanks dude.
