The thing with Benatar and REO was a lame idea. But, it's not like the album was out, so most Fleetwood Mac fans I talked to weren't that upset about it. In fact, the only people who ever get upset by it are Lindsey and Stevie fans who didn't actually see it.


That was not my experience, and I saw them twice. In my opinion, the versions they were doing were much better than the 1990 shows. Billy said on his Q&A years ago that the response to Bekka was overwhelmingly positive at most shows.


If anything, Bekka was doing more Christine material than Stevie Nicks material. For the most part, they only had Bekka doing Gold Dust Woman as far as Stevie material. And I liked that version. It was very different. It was fresh, especially after the horrid versions Stevie did during the 1990 tour.


It's not like they were touring behind anything. The album came out after they stopped touring. And, I have no problem with people covering old material. It's been going on since Bob Welch joined the band. The band has gone through changes in the past, but played on. The new kids have had to play the old kids' material. Lindsey had to do a lot of Danny Kirwan, Bob Welch, and Peter Green songs when he joined the band. Was he pretending to be Fleetwood Mac?

well i did see the show then it was in 1995 they played at the meadows in hartford from i saw if she was the blonde up front with billy burnette she was dressed up like stevie and trying to sing like stevie im sorry it didn't cut it for me at all and pretty much the rest of the venue as well i left in the middle of gold dust woman i believe not sure i want to guess it was the third song there lots of people leaving the arena as well i love fleetwood mac all versions really but it would have been different if bekka was not trying to fill stevie's boots cause she aint no stevie nicks the show sucked pat benatar,reo speed wagon and orleans were great pat was the high light of the show and I am a die hard fleetwood mac fan I am sorry the version of 1995 band of fleetwood mac sucked and it showed.
