That's some pretty insightful stuff. I suspect that Anthony DeCurtiss is right. The tour will sell like crazy. No doubt about that, but most people will be going to hear Go Your Own Way, Dreams and Rhiannon. Which sucks for me because I want to hear the new stuff.
I don't think this album is going to be a huge seller, but let's take into consideration what that means by Mac standards: If it sells 2 million, that's a lot of plastic pancakes. But by Mac standards it would be low. However, I don't think it will do much more than that. I put my estimate at 3 million tops.
I think we'll also see a lot of copies on used bins within a few months for several reasons:
--Some people who liked the 70s sound will not like the new sound, especially Lindsey's quirkier stuff. Even if you remove the quirky Lindsey factor, this happens with every band that's been around that long.
--Some people will not like the way Stevie sounds anymore.
--Some people will make copies of this thing with their computer and then try to sell their original.
