I bet Mick was pleased as punch when Dave told the world THAT.
I saw these guys play in early October at the Konocti Harbor Spa. The only Nicks song they did was GOLD DUST. From Christine, they did YOU MAKE LOVING & SAY YOU LOVE ME & DON'T STOP & WORLD TURNING. From Lindsey they did GO YOUR OWN WAY. They also opened with THE CHAIN. The other songs were all from different times & places: ONLY YOU KNOW & I KNOW, WE JUST DISAGREE (the best song of the night), BLOW BY BLOW, DEAR MR. FANTASY, & I think they did ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER. Dave wasn't into it at all. It was as if a bar band saw an old friend in the crowd & he reluctantly went onstage to do a few numbers. The audience was polite but essentially there for the prime rib & rice pilaf. Mick & I talked out back about the band's future & the members. No one looked excited about anything -- except, as I say, the prime rib. GOLD DUST had been given a nice rearrangement: no kick or snare, only congas & percussion, heavy on the acoustic guitar. Bekka's overkill style didn't kill it, however, & it wound up being one of the best songs of the night.
