It was one of their better received tours, despite Buckingham's absence. Plus, when you think about it, Lindsey actually was just keeping the long Fleetwood Mac tradition of guitarists bailing out when a tour is either on the line or underway.
The tour was sold-out when Buckingham quit the band and there were no refunds. That's why the "Tango in the Night" tour was successful............Fans couldn't get their money back....

The McVies and Mick Fleetwood were too zonked out of their minds for Buck to even consider going on tour with them..... Nicks was around a total of 10 days for the making of the album, and Buckingham had to oscillate his own voice to make it sound like his former lover's. It was infuriating.

To think these people were 40 - 45 years old and acting like this.

>>>>Life on the road would exascerbate the groups' wasted behavior...... Buckingham would have to carry the rest of the members along for the ride while they'd just continue their standard workman-like duties and he did the majority of the work (frontman-singing-guitarplaying-arranging-production).

........Peter Green and Bob Welch had all the pressure dumped on them, as well.........Unfortunate but smart for them to bow out....
