Well, to be fair, the lyric is “I can still hear you saying YOU would never break the chain,” NOT “WE won’t break the chain.” Technically, Lindsey broke the lyric in 1987…

And no I don't think so. At least where I live, their shows are FILLED with a lot of people in their 20s who bought Rumours on vinyl at Urban Outfitters and saw Stevie on American Horror Story. Those people don't even know I'm So Afraid, I've seen it with my own two eyes. They sing along to Dreams, Landslide, Go Your Own Way, Seven Wonders (thanks to AHS) and the really famous songs. But even songs like Say You Love Me, So Afraid etc they literally don't even know the lyrics. It's not a secret that the pre-BN era is not that well known to most people in the US at least today as it is to the megafans on this board. If the only people who bought tickets to FM concerts today were the fans who have been there since the beginning they'd be playing to barely filled arenas. It's not a matter of remembering as it is that most of these people are fans of the Rumours lineup. They just don't really listen to anything beside the Rumours lineup.

Okay, but all of the video I’ve seen of Stevie’s recent tour, “Crying In The Night” got a lot of applause, and that’s been out of print for how long? As with the return of Christine, I think people underestimate this band. Those early songs mixed with the regular classics will make for an interesting set.
