they are not even doing their own material, aside from Rumours.

they just did 3 greatest hits tours in a row - if there ever was a time to do Oh Well, Black Magic Woman, Albatross, Hypnotized, etc, that would have been it (they did Oh Well in 2009, but not the latter 2 tours), so obviously it's not happening, unless they announce one huge all-FM-eras reunion. Mick had a lot of questions like that during m&gs, and what he would usually say is that he loves Peter and considers him the best guitarist that ever lived, and that he has tried that in the past, but Peter's health issues would not allow to reliably schedule any such performances or reunions.

so i don't really get all this righteousness and indignation of "why are they not doing other FM incarnations' songs". they are not doing even much of their own material, so why would one expect them to do someone else's? i just read on one of the other boards a question whether Peter Green's FM and BN FM should be considered 2 separate bands... in my opinion - yes. i was severely disappointed when i first heard that GH album in the early 90s featuring current FM incarnation - i expected songs similar to Peter Green era ones that i knew and loved, and that was nothing like what i heard. i listened to that album twice, couldn't believe my ears, and put it away for many many years, along with FM as a band i was absolutely not interested in.
