Personally, this firing of Lindsey has sucked away what little desire I had left to see these guys perform live again. I was too interested in being 16 when The Dance tour was going and not going to a concert with my parents. Saw the Buckingham/Nicks version several times and then much to mine (and everyone else's) surprise in 2014, got to see the Rumours 5 put on one hell of a show. Rhiannon lumbered and sputtered. Christine couldn't hit half the notes. GYOW's key was dropped about 10 times. But it was nonetheless, fantastic to see them.
But, I don't know that I even care anymore. I would've seen this "Farewell" tour with the five of them. However, the way that this entire Lindsey firing rolled out has soured me on seeing this cobbled together all star band. I'm trying to picture myself in my early to mid 40's having interest in going to see this reconciled group of 75-80 year olds croaking out 50 year old songs and I just don't see it. They're too old. Their fanbase is too old (yes, lots of generations at FM concerts...but be real, look around, there majority aren't 24 year old hipsters). Time is not on their side.
I know I don't speak for everyone, but for me, after the stunts of 2018, the bloom is off the rose. If they ever reconciled, I am highly unlikely to bother.

And that's the legacy Lindsey was alluding to, and for many, the 2018 drama has done just that....killed it for many.. I am one of them. But I would kill to see them all one last time. If I only appreciated Neward 2015 was it......well May have partied harder with them. That was the night Lindsey waltzed with Stevie....
