We would actually not only get the album of new mac songs but get to hear 6-8 of them live in small venues!?! Wow!!

And all that before their final cashgrab GH tour begins!

I hope it's minus five or six.

Well, of the past few things I've seen, Lindsey doesn't have much of a voice left. So I think the backup singers are now a necessity(unfortunately).

you are missing a lot! did you hear Lindsey singing NEW songs? from SWS? EP? his voice is great live on those.

there might be backup musicians, no backup singers for 4/5.

I didn't buy the EP. The ONLY FM release I've never bought. My fanatic friends told me that it was bad, and not to waste my time.

While stuck at work the other day, I watch a few recent Youtube videos, and maybe he was having a bad night, but it was bad. Hardly any range left...

edit- I will agree that I saw him solo in Nashville, 2-3 years ago, and I was very surprised with how strong he was that night.

see? he sounded like that on both of his last 2 solo tours. and with live Sad Angel which was new song.

i think he has to adjust the key and range when singing old songs with Mac / Stevie so that it works for her. but on new songs and solo he sounds really strong.

since they'll be doing new songs, he will sound good. if they really do this tour, i might skip the GH world tour all together!

your Stevie fanatic friends?

exactly why she shouldn't be cobbled on to this new release at the last minute. her fans will hate it anyway - just like they did EP, and it will not be cohesive just like EP wasn't with her ancient song added on the last minute.

I have a feeling they're hating us right now. lol...

Please let this happen.

It's interesting to note that the McVie/McVie/Buckingham/Fleetwood quartet incarnation of Fleetwood Mac is only estimated to fill "smaller sized venues". This possible venture is being sold as "artistic" and "intimate".

The McVie/Nicks/Buckingham/Fleetwood quartet incarnation of Fleetwood Mac back in '02, '08 and '13 was still selling out major arenas. At the end of the day, Fleetwood Mac knows where their ticket sales stand---it comes in the form of an airy fairy chiffon head called Stevie Nicks.

That being said, none of these people really need the money, with the exception of Mick, who has always been cash hungry. So, bring on the artistic tour. I'd be happy to buy a ticket and any new Nicksless music that it promotes. I still say that Stevie's ego will not allow her to sit out. I vote she mails in 3 songs by the end of the year that the Mac will start producing with her laying down vocals for 10 days in the first quarter of 2017.

Don't forget sustaining a concussion from a stray platform boot as the outline of a flying ribbon laced tambourine is printed across your face. If Alice through the looking glass screams that she can't wait, the ghosts through the fog will mend your starshined thrown down heart.

Green Day is playing 9:30 club in DC. you think Green Day is playing that intimate venue because they cannot sell out arenas?? Green Day sold out 9:30 club in seconds of course. it should be incredible. fans are hungry for such intimate events!

Prince was alternating between 300-seat clubs and large arenas, selling out both. Bryan Adams is doing small theater tours one year, followed by arena tours next year.

as a fan, i WANT to see my favorite performers in intimate setting. as a fan i don't want to pay $150+ for crappy seat in arena to hear my favorite play 12 songs. Pretenders fans are not happy and are saying Chrissie has sold out after talking how she despises arena tours and would do only intimate venues.

Haha.. I have to love Stevie on some level in order to understand all that.

Most of my FM friends are Steve E. fanatics. I can't believe that they haven't had me killed...

I agree. Leave the old goat to her cud, and let them shine like they deserve to! "Goat free, as free as the wind blows...."

With tickets costing a fraction of the price of the 2014 tour. I'm not saying Stevie isn't a huge draw, but I also wouldn't be surprised if a Stevie-less Fleetwood Mac gets bumped up to larger venues than what they're expecting.

[UnwindedDreams]

Smaller concerts could mean a show in venues such as PNC Bank Arts Center or Coney Island Amohitheater. Those venues are less than 20k. If they're going to play a venue such as The Chicago Theatre or Constitution Hall, I can't imagine they would charge less than $150 for orchestra seat. Christine would be with them so the demand is there and they'll want to make something! I also would imagine Mick would sell his meet&greet ticket packages.
