Boo.
I concur. Putting of all of the touring aside, the volume (or lack there of) of their recorded/released material is abysmal. Granted, even during their heyday in the seventies, by industry standards, they were a band considered slow at work. Yet in 5 years they released 3 albums. I wish they were that slow today.

To add insult to injury, they can't even manage to get it together to give proper treatment to their already released material -- such as remasters of Mirage and Tango, Buckingham Nicks, plus various videos/material waiting for DVD release.

Most fans are lucky to be able to attend possibly one show each tour, if that. So all the touring in the world does nothing for fans who grow seven years older before they can expect something new.
