Default Mike Campbell’s comments on Christine

“Oh dear…..sweet Christine has left us…..that voice, those eyes, that smile. No one like her in the universe.
I remember in rehearsal once after playing “I’d Rather Go Blind,” she looked at me and said, “I like playing the blues with you, Mike.” I’ve never met anyone with such an angelic aura. Always so kind to everyone.
We will all miss you so…..no one could ever fill those shoes….

Mike”

I’m blown away they rehearsed “I’d Rather Go Blind.”

I saw that, too! She even commented on his playing.

In 2018 when I saw them, he was fantastic.

It saddens me because they practiced all these gems but in the end the masses of asses would not be into the songs.
Good grief Neil actually sounded good on Hypnotized and they dropped it like the plague.

After all the crap about getting to expand to the whole FM catalog without LB being there dominating the set list decisions , that they dropped Hypnotized - a song that still gets a relative amount of airplay and that Neil Finn sounded perfect on - was a total joke. Unfortunately, Fleetwood Mac just never would go out of their comfort zone and force some rarities on the audience.

I feel lucky I actually got to see Hypnotized. I wasn’t planning on going to Louisville, but I had to once I saw the first setlist.

The last setlist was void of any of the charm of the early sets.

I think that's what annoyed long time fans so much during the press to promote the tour. They spent decades playing only the hits or only 3-4 new songs from a new album, flash forward to 2018 and they are a new band thats going to celebrate the the pre-1975 back catalog? Everyone knew (who hadn't drank the Mick coolaid) they would only do a handful of shows before they scale back the set, which is exactly what they did. The ONLY thing notable about that tour is the fact that it was Christine's last and the absence of Lindsey Buckingham. As if Stevie Nicks' fragile ego could handle watching people take a bathroom break during Station Man.

There were so many comments flying that it was Lindsey's fault for the stale setlist. Egg in the face...AGAIN.
