Fifty years ago tonight...

The fiftieth anniversary of the White album will be July 1975, so I'm curious if another deluxe edition is planned to commemorate the event.

I agree and think Christine felt that way too at the time. Always the wise one.

I doubt it…I don’t think there is anything else to release except for maybe a live show from 1975.

I was 13 at the time Lindsey and Stevie joined the group. They certainly had an impact on my cultural life

Truest words ever written. Fame was her only goal.

You know, what did John McVie once say.. something along the lines of "we all have egos" so it's just as well to remember that. Maybe Stevie wasn't the only one who couldn't control hers on her occasion, but it's the sour aftertaste of the denial of a perfect sunset for the band that irks a lot of us here, me included.

Steven Hopkins' comment re the merging of the two entities that had exactly what the other needed hits it on the nail for me. Oh, for a time machine to see and hear those early days of 1975 or their imperial pomp of the next few years. We got what we got. I'm grateful for that.

And that would be welcome on my part, as long as it is completely unreleased material.

Exactly my thoughts about this incarnation.

I believe Christine could see having both B/N in the band. She was open to it, and then when they started performing together, they all knew.

I’m all for some more 1975–76 live audio. The Trod Nossel Studios radio concert would be ideal. Yes, we’ve heard the bootleg, but it’s a lengthy, complete, and clear audio that would benefit from some remastering, and it showcases the band that first year sounding absolutely gorgeous. Instruments are on point, vocals are classic harmonizing, tempos are perfect, audience applause is miniscule. The small studio makes for a great sound field, and I still consider the “World Turning” the best from the early years.

I think the date of the in-studio show was Oct. 23, 1975.

The only thing better would be a show with some of the oddball inclusions, like “Frozen Love” or “Sunny Side of Heaven.”

I think there's a Warm Ways out there, too. Or is that during Rumours?

Absolutely to you and SteveMacD. Whatever they are now hardly matters. Fact is, if that milestone never occurred, most of us wouldn’t even think about FM. This website certainly wouldn’t exist. All five were necessary for the chemistry to be as potent as it was—and still is when we listen to the songs.

That said, my third favorite FM record is Kiln House. Good night.
