I have to be honest, I think in the case of "Don't Stop," they don't even think of it as a "Chris song" anymore. Obviously she wrote it, but I think they consider Don't Stop to be a "band song" at this point, a signature FM tune...I doubt they think, "oh let's pay homage to Chris and play that old tune of hers." Pretty much, it's going to be part of any FM concert...regardless of who is singing it. On the lines of The Chain and possibly Go Your Own Way.
I've always wanted them each to do one Chris song, rearranged to work for each of them...Lindsey on Hold Me or Little Lies; Stevie on Oh Daddy or Brown Eyes.
I never bought into the fact that Lindsey should only play/sing Lindsey songs, etc. It's great when the 2009 version of Fleetwood Mac starts playing Oh Well, regardless of the opinion that "Peter Green's is better" (of course it was, completely different guitar/voice and uh, it was 40 years ago!). The only thing I don't care for is taking a song like Don't Stop, a sing-a-long song where everyone knows the words, and then Stevie goes and hacks the verse up with grammatically ridiculous wording.
