Tango in the Night tour.
How cool would it have been if Lindsey did the Tango tour. Those Tango tour videos on YouTube are kind of lame. They would have been better if they were filmed like the Mirage tour videos. The Tango tour videos are mostly not even actually filmed live performances, they’re filmed and staged rehearsals with shots of audiences mixed in. I would love to see how cool the Tango tour videos could have been if Lindsey did the tour and they actually filmed a live show like the did for the Mirage tour videos. I’d especially love to see live Hold Me, Sara, and Gypsy from 1987. It would also be cool to see which of Lindsey’s Tango songs they would have played.
But… I will say that I do enjoy Rick and Billy’s guitar work, I really enjoy their sound. |

I dont think anyone would disagree with wanting Lindsey to do that tour. However, I respect his decision and he needed a break especially what he went through with the Tango sessions. He clearly had PTSD from working with a few. He didn't need to do the album and he did. It would have been a fantastic show with him. However I bet the Tango concert release would have been just as tacky and bad. That was a goofy trend in the late 80s to make videos of "live" performances. The Mirage show had real camera men on stage, holding big cameras on their shoulders. By the time 1987 came along, they had those roaming cameras. It was not really the band but the glam of the late 80s that made that horrible release.
If Lindsey did the tour, I would imagine he would have quit the band afterwards. What would have happened? There would be no BTM. They would have been a dead band until maybe the Dance. But who knows. Maybe they would have had auditions and come up with different guitarists and had a different kind of album than BTM. Was I upset with Lindsey for quitting. OMG yes! But I truly think he needed that escape hatch.

If they’d swapped out “Over My Head” with “Isn’t It Midnight,” the 2014 tour would have effectively been the proper TITN tour.
That said, I’m glad it worked out the way it did. Rick revisiting the early blues was worth it.

yes, that's sort of true. We finally got to hear Seven Wonders and Little Lies with Lindsey on that tour. Its really sad that Isn't It Midnight was performed on 3 Mac tours but never with Lindsey. That should be a crime.

I suspect there’s a reason Lindsey wouldn’t play Isn’t It Midnight live.

If Lindsey had not been fired, I bet he would have performed it instead of Neil and Mike on the 2018 tour. It would have been incredible to do it as the second song welcoming back Chris in 2014. However much of the crowd would not know it so they stuck to one of her bigger hits uptempo song YMLF. But could you imagine it as her welcome back song? I would have needed a diaper.

Do you think it's because he co-wrote Isn't It Midnight?

That's an interesting take. Since Stevie did Storms live for the first time on Unleashed, would that make it a proper tour of Tusk?

1. The lineup that made Tusk did an extensive tour behind the album. 2. Christine wasn’t in the band in 2009, so the lineup that made Tusk wasn’t touring. 3. When the Rumours band got back together in 1997, they were promoting an MTV reunion tour and a few new songs from that album. However, that lineup never did a tour for TITN. The 2014-early 2015 tour didn’t have any songs that came after 1987. Usually when Fleetwood Mac tours behind a new album, they play four to six new songs. “Isn’t It Midnight” would have been the fifth TITN song. Swapping out OMH for IIM would have been something closer to what Fleetwood Mac would have done in 1987.

They also could have swapped out Think About Me and done Isn't It Midnight during On With the Show. The Dance Tour featured the four new songs from the album. Say You Will had seven new songs. |

Kind of strange to think that "Big Love" has never been played live in its album arrangement, either by Lindsey or the band. It was a big hit! They definitely would have played it if Lindsey had toured, interesting to think how it might have sounded.
The Tango in the Night live video is such a strange and dated artifact. Those extra "closeups" of Stevie especially are weird as hell. I'm glad it exists because it's the only professionally filmed concert (at least that I know of) with that particular lineup. |

But…..eek….. they may have played Family Man. That said, it might have been interesting…..he may have played FM as his acoustic ‘solo’ song.

But I’d always thought a full band version of the song live would have sounded great. Imagine Dragons did a good job performing Big Love, judging from the clip I saw on YouTube. |

Her zombie Klonopin moon-face and that stiff crazy hair. The Heart sisters hair looked more bouncy than Stevie's hair.

Better pokey than mokey? What was that phrase? We used to laugh and laugh, old boy.
