with no offense meant to citizens of that wacky (fun!) beach community if any exist here on The Ledge.

Sorry, I live not too far from "Rehoboth Beach", so I had to comment that this is the correct spelling. Why was this your only trip? Rehoboth is really quite nice.

Anyway, maybe Stevie just misses Chris plain & simple; she just doesn't like being the only woman in the band. I guess if this is the case, there will not be another FM tour although this is not what Stevie told Ellen when she was on her show not too long ago.

Actually if you listened closely, it is what she said. Or at least what she implied. Yes, she said Fleetwood Mac was never a closed door and the answer wasn't "no" to a future Fleetwood Mac project. However, she also made a caveat to that statement by saying IF maybe one day they could lure Christine back. In other words, never say never to Fleetwood Mac but don't hold your breath unless Christine is a part of the proceedings.

But, your conclusion is not supported by your argument. For all we know, she brough up the idea years ago and the band shot it down everytime. She has said she always wanted to do "Always Been a Storm" - but it did not translate well. That implies she convinced them (or vice vera) to the point they actually tried it. She also practiced "Straight Back" for the Mirage rehearsals. So, I conclude it is unfair and mostly incorrect to say that she is unwilling to be innovative with new things, especially in light of her new stuff in the last four solo tours as well as with The Mac.

Let's not forget that during BTM line-up. Both Stevie and Christine stated very publicly that they would not continue in FM without eachother..then Christine went on to record Time with that line-up. Stevie said she would NEVER be on the same stage with Mick again..and we know that did not stick.
Then Stevie said she couldn't see a FM without Lindsey being in the band during SYW line-up. I think anything is possible depending on where their careers and bank accounts are next time Mick calls.

It's getting a little old about how much of you all are doubting Stevie, and it's getting to the point of where it seems that you are all hoping she never does anything new. I remember in about September of 2006, when we started hearing word that a new best of was in the works, nobody believed it, and everyone said she would never release another album again. But when the word became official, that shut everyone up pretty fast. Stevie is being vague about any new projects because she hasn't started anything yet and won't until late Fall at the earliest. We've heard from multiple sources that Stevie will begin working on a new album soon after the tour ends and she has a few months of respite. Nothing is in the works right now, so how can she talk about something that doesn't even exist yet? Let's just see what happens in the next few months, instead of going off on every article or publication that mentions Stevie will do something new soon as being a falsity!

As for SYW, no it didn't work because Stevie missed having Christine there, tensions were extremly high and she was given very little input by Lindsey. She would probably be willing to do a small "reunion" tour in the next few years, but she certainly doesn't want to invest another 32 months into the process of recording and touring if Christine won't be there, and i agree with that. They tried it once, it didn't work, so now they'll have to try something different.

So, he more room to add other stuff. I mean do we really need to hear GYOW or NGBA one more time a la Dreams or GDW?

If GYOW wasn't in his or any set, I'd cry. Same for GDW.

Well I think he is a LOT better with his set and realizes the need to change it....

He has done, just on this tour:

Down on Rodeo
Steal Your Heart Away
Save Me a Place
Red Rover
Turn it On
Bleed to Love Her
Shut us Down
Bwana

Along with other rarities....I Know I'm Not Wrong...Holiday Road

I wish Stevie were more like him...

Are you kidding me? BC is not that hard to sing....at all. Sisters of the Moon is hard from start to finish...

No, I am not. BC on the record and live is way higher than SOTM, which is relatively simple in design, a hallmark of La Nicks' writing. She put over SOTM with an intensity rarely seen in a performer, but the song itself is not that hard. Play it both on the piano and sing along.

Those are great and I wish Stevie would too, but my point is he has more room to add those as he has had way less records and hits than La Nicks.

Yeah but, shes not even doing hits!!!!

Enchanted
How Still My Love
Sorcerer
I Need to Know
Rock and Roll (please die)
Fall From Grace

It just depresses and amazes me how bad this set list is.

I guess if she went along with the album version of Sisters it could work. But to be honest, I think Id rather have Running Through the Garden or Freedom in the set before that.

Interestingly, if she sang SOTM in the same key and vocal intensity as RTTG live, I think it would be okay.

But, if people want the Mirage performance - it will never happen on any level and in any song, though R&R live vaguely approaches it.

True - so I guess she views them as non-hits like LB does his choices - though Sorcerer was a single that got barely modest airplay.

IMO, when she gets to R&R in her set, she can sing it in her sleep. She is so warmed up by that point that she could sing anything in that slot. Its where Long Way to Go SHOULD be.

She must, but LB's non hits are much more interesting and fun because he doesn't tour. This was the first live appearance for many songs in his set and the others hadn't seen the stage in years. Of course he does the FM stuff, but the other songs he does make up for it. Stevie is gunna have to pull something amazing to beat the Holiday Road-Turn it On combo...
