Actually it was two. Rick Vito was on that tour with her.

I thought since we were discussing The chain, some of you might be interested in this. It's The Chain writing process.

Actually, this lineup was pretty darn horrible. I really hate the Time lineup. It's bursting with talent but it's just so bland. The songs had no flare that they had during the Rumours/Behind The Mask lineup. Even the early pre-Buckingham nicks stuff had heart and soul in every song whereas the Time bunch just didn't do it. Christine just sounds bored on all of her songs and Bekka would be good if she wasn't trying too hard to live upto Stevie. Overall, this lineup was just a random mess and the album was totally pointless.

(I always thought it ironic that, after he had blasted Christine and Stevie in 1984 for performing so many Fleetwood Mac songs in their solo sets and saying that their shows "bordered on being lounge acts" because of it, he'd then turn around and devote half of his setlist to Mac songs. He has a mercurial personality, that one!)

You have no idea how many times I've almost started a thread with this topic in that other forum. Not to mention that I keep seeing a Lindsey commercial for the upcoming Houston show, and they only play 2 seconds (out of 30) of "Show You How" underneath a voiceover that says he has a new album - the other 28 secs it's Mac Mac Mac.

I agree with you in that they were forced to do the Mac stuff. Had they been creative instead, I think it would have been a much better use of that talent.

Lindsey and Stevie had to perform the older Mac stuff when they joined, too, and that didn't seem to hinder them.

As much as I love the album 'Time,' I don't think that lineup really had much chemistry on stage. At least from the footage I've seen.
In the studio, they really gelled though.

I am not entralled with LB's work on the Green stuff and other stuff and La Nicks was just on harmony and never lead. Conversely, Bekka and the gang were on lead. But, touche' I guess.

IMO...that Chain from Time was terrible! That growl
