I like your idea, if we can't get new FM material, but I'm far from thinking it will "most definitely" happen. I think they would be even more afraid of playing new solo songs in a FM concert than they are of playing new FM songs. In fact, I'd see them as being more likely to bundle a Fleetwood Mac tour into a BN re-release and do "new" BN songs before any SWS or IYD songs. Although, if they did venture there, I think Soldier's Angel would certainly make the cut.

Maybe they'll do the whole Mystery to Me album in order.

Interesting that they want to do an EP before the tour... to see if they get on in the studio? It's confusing... to promote the tour?

Maybe they should do new songs on tour and release a live album a la The Dance... and then if they get on, fold those songs into a full album, which will have songs everybody knows, having been on the tour and live album...

Why do I feel as though this EP won't happen, and that the new tour shall simply be a rehash of a "greatest hits" tour, like Unleashed? I have absolutely no idea why I would feel this way. I have no reason at all to do so

Now, you see, I WOULD fork out £100+ to see that happen. I will not fork out the obnoxious ticket prices for the same old repackaged set that I refused to pay out for in 09.

No Christine, no dice.

Please, Please, Please... Perform "Dreams". It's been years (!) since we've heard the Fleetwood Mac arrangement

Okay, with that out of the way, I'd love to see an EP, but I'd be shocked if it actually happened. We can hope!

With the limited time between now and next summer to and make it easier, I'd love to see them record several simple acoustic tracks, and use that as the EP. Remember how well "Gypsy" went over as an acoustic performance with just Stevie and Lindsey? Everyone loved it.

I love how MIck is all like: we have so many songs to pull out of the catalogue. We did so many on the last tour and teh crowd loved it: umm... Storms... and what else?

So now we might get a rare gem like... IDWTK or Crystal... but just one, and they'll act like they have taken a chance. sigh.

I hope they bring SOTM back to life on tour.

In their heads, I think they look at Monday Morning (last played 1980), Go Insane (last played 1997, first time played with full band in 2009), obviously Storms, and Oh Well (last played 1994, last played with Lindsey 1982).

Ridiculous to me, but I think they look at that kind of stuff when making these statements. Not to mention, I think they still consider I Know I'm Not Wrong and Sara as something different.

Well if they pull out Crystal, here is to hoping Stevie takes lead vocals!

I don't know. With three band members talking about DEFINITELY touring, it seems that there may be a Greatest Hits compilation (perhaps like Crystal Visions with a DVD?) coming out next year that they are already aware of. That being said tho, they all talked about how there was going to be some Unleashed Greatest Hits pack and re-release of Rumours in 2009, which never saw the light of day, so maybe they are all talking out of their asses again and no tour will happen.

I guess they've got ants in their pants to go out there and make the most of the whole Glee thing. Really hoping for that EP or atleast some of the new solo songs incorporated into the set.

But I'll be going to a show anyway, since I didn't become a fan until after Unleashed.

When has that ever happened? Fleetwood Mac (since 1975 anyway) has never merely crapped out something rushed and half-a$$ed (well, okay, perhaps with the exception of "Ricky"

). They have too much of a polished legacy to uphold.

And THAT'S the problem.
