I was a fan and old enough to have attended a Rumours or Tusk show, but I didn't start going to concerts until late 1979 (Styx! lol).

Let's face it, they aren't getting any younger. How many more tours can we really expect? I'll still see them if they come around, but not so thrilled to hear the same songs they've played to death a thousand times over. If they open with The Chain again, it's a good indication they are still stuck in the same old routine.

Never has there been a band I've followed for so long that has been so safe and uninspired when it comes to set lists. Neophytes forgive me, but they don't have to play Rhiannon, Landslide etc... to put on a good show! I think of younger big bands such as U2 and REM...a lot of their early hits that established them...they don't often play now....because they've evolved and developed newer material. They perform just a small fraction of their initial material. No one goes to a U2 concert and feels slighted that they didn't perform their first big hit "I Will Follow."

Unfortunately, Fleetwood Mac isn't that nimble or forward thinking. They've largely become just a band playing the oldies. Although, I must give credit to Lindsey for shaking it up some.

Well, we can always hope for a little change. I only became a fan in 2003, so I haven't been around to see them as long as probably most of you all.......
