Obviously there wasn't time to do that for Australia, but they could arrange something for Vegas. Not sure I see the point, though.
Actually I was thinking they should do the show as a benefit and donate the proceeds to cancer research...

Probably would be George Hawkins.

What about Al Ortiz? He already knows how to play all of Stevie's FM tunes.

George Hawkins was in Mick Fleetwood's Zoo, the Mick Fleetwood band, Christine's solo band for her 1984 solo album and "In The Meantime", played with Lindsey on Saturday Night Live, and sang backing vocals on John's "solo" album.

He has playing chemistry with Mick and with Christine (if she's going to play with them), which makes him a better choice from a player perspective.

Ok, we may need to merge these 2 threads, but on the benefit concert thread I think we may have this all worked out.

Let Brett take over as bass player, bring Christine in to play the piano. stream it live online so people that cannot make it to the show can pay to watch it. Then donate the proceeds to cancer research.

This is of course all contingent on if the band is willing to play a show for free.
