Yes, I know what you mean about BTM. But by the time you get to 1993, Christine had come full circle again. Christine didn't agree with Dave Mason in the Time tour, didn't know why Mick kept trying to mend a broken vase. When asked who she would have had other than Dave, she said:

Lindsey Buckingham, I think he was the most superlative guitar player this band will ever have. A true shining light. After Lindsey, everybody else seems a little palid. I'm not talking talent, just chemistry for Fleetwood Mac.

She also said in 1993 that her biggest regrets in FM were not having had a #1single and Lindsey leaving: "Not that I’m criticizing the guys we got in to replace him-Rick Vito and Billy Burnette. They’re both fine musicians. But I do regret that Lindsey’s gone. There was a creative chemistry there which, when it was right, was absolutely amazing. Our individual approaches to music were so different, but there was this point where they met that was quite magical. To find that quality with other musicians is very difficult. It’s a once in a lifetime thing."
