I agree. As I stated earlier, its a little bit of this and that on the album. Its incohesiveness is its lure. Chris showing such growth and versatility. Love ballads, bluesy horns, and an angry song. When Chris first joined she was the spice that you really look forward to her songs even though there were not many. By the time Heroes came around Chris was almost dominating the album.
1974 was a wild year. While the tour was short and probably not that successful its incredible to listen to these concerts and even that radio concert that were at the end of the year. On new years eve of that year the new line up was born. I often wish I could find a genie in a bottle because can you imagine if you could go back in time and go to a 1973 or 1974 Fleetwood Mac concert.
Another wish I would have would be to interview Lindsey. One question I would ask is that urban legend that Bob Welch and Lindsey ran into each other in a club shortly after Lindsey joined while they were still making the White album. Supposedly Lindsey asked Bob "How the hell did you stand to work with these people?"
