Aawww those were the good old days....the brick house cover was one of my favorites too but I preferred the 1979 FM tour when the setlist included the disco tribute and Stevie performed Staying Alive while rollerskating across the stage....aaawww the good old days!

To put it more simply, you're not going.

If Stevie and Lindsey give readings from "Don Juan in Hell," I'd go. (I'm not going, either.)

I'm indifferent! I'd be MUCH more excited about it obviously if they were also talking about some new music, even an EP - which was discussed w Dave Stewart as a possibility last year. They could knock off 6 songs easily esp. with Dave at the helm co-producing or whatever. That man wastes very little time and could speed up the process. I'm probably dreaming...but one can only hope! I also just don't think Stevie wants to go out and try and sell another new record! She worked very hard in 2011 to promote/sell IYD! Unfortunately for us crazy fans, I'm sure an "Unleashed" type tour is a much easier pill to swallow.

Thats One of the reasons that I like Dave .He does not waste time in the studio producing music.Unlike the normal bickering and wasting time that FM do in the studio.Now who give a sheet if radio plays new FM tunes.But we use fans are dying to hear new tunes.SYW had great radio airplay with Peacekeeper and SYW in 2003.

WE JUST WANT NEW FM TUNES!

[QUOTE=Ghosty;1054675]I prefer new material to tours. What a bummer. Stevie, being the "prolific songwriter" that she is, should be making more music, not doing more randmom tours with Rod and then Mac with nothing new out. Big, major bummer. : (


she toured for 10 years with no new material and the same songs dropping a few along the way because it was too much for her and no one bitched as long as she did Rhiannon , dreams , and Edge of Seventeen .

Stevie won't be 70 years old until 2018. Even if this tour stretches into 2014, she'll still be in her mid t0 late-sixties.

Look, regardless of what Stevie says about FM from time to time, she knows that the band made her career. We all love her solo stuff, and she does have a huge devoted following, but her stuff with FM is what put her on the map as far as the masses are concerned. And she knows it. She has a deeply-rooted love affair with FM. They all do.

That's why I like to think that this tour is not the end of things. Opinions vary wildly on here, but I really do believe that the band will make new music one last time as a swan song...either before the tour (not likely) or afterwards. They know they're not getting any younger, and I really do believe that they care about the band so much that they will discuss or already have discussed their plans for the end of their tenure. They won't fade out like a puny pilot light. And they will NOT end their careers in FM with another greatest hits tour.

I like to think that they are smarter than that and have too much respect for what they have created to just let the band fade out without one more original album. They might not tour to promote it. And if anything, I can see them releasing new material just to satisfy themselves, and then put the band to bed for good. And if they DO end up touring for it, I'll see you all there, bathed in wistful tears.

I've been bitching about the sameness in her sets since The Wild Heart Tour.

[BombaySapphire3]

Anyone remember when Lindsey said something to the effect that the 2009 tour was supposed to stir up creative juices to make some new music.Now he and Stevie did produce some viable new music since then but he was referring to Fleetwood Mac.I really can't be excited about a second "oldies " tour in a row for FM.

[Regina]

I would be happy under certain circumstances:

BuckinghamNicks...leading into FM. Give a good five song 'recap' of their work prior to FM and then do the FM concert.As a bonus, do two new B/N songs. I think it would be a lovely nod to those of us who really wanted a B/N (N/B) tour and wouldn't hurt Mick or John any since they are in it for the paycheck (which, in all honesty, is what the other two are, too, but at least they give the appearance, once in a while, of being in it for artistic/nostalgic reasons).

OR

Do new material (too much to ask for, I know).

OR

Do a Fleetwood Mac oldies tour. BUT, half the set list should be things we either haven't heard live or haven't heard in 20 years, live. Ban Landslide, Big Love, So Afraid and Rhiannon.

So..therefore, in conclusion, I probably won't be happy because none of the above would probably be FM's choice. Will I go?

Yes.

It's interesting because I had a conversation with my brother today. And he went to see some singer I've never heard of. And he didn't like him. Not at all. Why? Because he "sang things I've never heard of instead of his hits." (SHOCKING! I almost wanted to go to this dude's show;-)
So...FM may know what they are doing, from a business standpoint but, it's still tough to swallow when they've been doing this stuff for so, so long.

i would love to hear SOTM (love that screaming guitar!), but other than that the only way i would like an FM tour is if there's no Stevie songs in the set whatsoever.

but - i did promise Lindsey that i'll come see him if he adds Walk A Thin Line - if he really must do an FM tour...

[StandbackStevie]

I will take them when they come around its alright to me if its just a greatest hits tour its all good to me i did though the 2009 shows were great but at times you can see Stevie is not happy, I agree with others she is happier and full of more energy on her solo shows. Can't wait for Mohegan Sun Show its just an evening with Stevie Nicks and thats the way I want momma in concert no opening act just Stevie. I feel maybe one more FM greatest hits tour in the works if it happens it might not. Stevie did go thru the motions on the last tour in 2009 with them.

They're kind of hoping to fill more than 800 seats though.

As for the Mac tour news... well, I'd rather Stevie stay solo at this point, and give us more new music. I guess Mick's guilt trip got to her.

I do agree on seeing Stevie then Mac.But I could use a Mac attack once in a while.We are way over do for new Mac tunes.I'm very happy Stevie is alone without Rod touring with her at these east coast shows.

...

A Fleetwood Mac tour without Stevie singing is also known as a "Lindsey solo tour". Which is also known as "empty seats.". It's also known as boring and self indigent.(except for his rousing show-stopping versions of Family Man & Holiday Road....yikes)

Pretty much sums up what I was going to say.
