Arguably, indeed. You'd certainly get an argument from me that Billy is the band's greatest songwriter.

To be fair, I think Billy and Rick have come a long way in terms of defining themselves, and I'm sure that band would be totally different today.
I think that's true. Things they've done since joining Fleetwood show a lot more individuality & scope. In fact, things they did before joining Fleetwood show a lot more promise.

As for the defining eras:
Peter Green
Bob Welch
Lindsey Buckingham
Billy Burnette
How can every era be the "defining" era, Steve? In the past, I've harangued you about employing your sociological approach & then sticking an aesthetic preference label on it. You're operating on two unrelated planes.

And, no, Christine wasn't at the Gibson gig, that happened BEFORE the release of the "Time" album (remember, they never actually toured in support of that album). I have it on video, and she's not there.
Chris didn't play any gig with the Time group.
