So this version of Fleetwood Mac did technically limp into 1996, then, as they were still performing after midnight. I can recall that Mick pulled the plug on the band shortly after "Time" was released although there was mention of there being a corporate gig they had to do. Oddly, the NYE concert isn't on setlist.com

I can't quite make up my mind about this odd period of Mac history. I like a fair bit of the quixotic "Time" album. However, Mick's assessment in his 2014 book was probably right - "we ended up with a band of talented people playing good music, but they should not have been touring as Fleetwood Mac...we should never have done any of it.....there were too many essential pieces of the machine missing this time."

A tour that included Christine would have been pretty interesting though, although it's completely understandable that she didn't want to do it. Bekka and Dave didn't get on according to Mick's book, and Christine and Dave were not supposed to be best pals either.
