Buckingham Nicks Reunion Rumblings

^I thought "Say Goodbye" live was sublime, especially Lindsey's soundstage version where he is able to control the audio effects in much the same way he is currently doing on his solo tour. This also goes for "Soldier's Angel" at Stevie's Wiltern show.

I am in favor of both a BN release and tour. Tour is being discussed based on Stevie's most recent comments that it would be "easy" for them to do the live shows and that there is some kind of red tape holding up the cd release.

I thought that song was unbearable, with a plodding melody and a presentation that made it interminable. Oh, I whisper to you and you whisper back to me. I always say that Sunny Von Bulow came out of her coma, but heard that song and felll right back in.

The only thing that made it decent for me was the fact that Lindsey's introductions to it became intriguing as the tour was about to end. I preferred the studio version.

Even so, I think they still sound good together on SHN live. I think they can do tight harmonies.

But they can change the songs in ways we can't anticipate. Say You Love Me was the highlight of The Dance tour for me and it was different than all it's previous incarnations.

The arrangements on the old songs may be different and we might like those arrangements better.

Ok, ok. I got a little carried away when I said sublime. I just meant the Soundstage version still showcased great harmony. I really don't like the sped up recording.

Agree, new arrangements are interesting as long as its on something they've done live a million times or doesn't destroy the integrity.

Stevie & Lindsey do not have a problem harmonizing anyway. They have been singing together for roughly 40 years. They know each other's nuances and they are rehearsal whores. All they need is to get back to those basics. They could be there in a relatively short time.

I can't picture them ever going on a "Buckingham Nicks" Tour with John and Mick still alive/medically able to perform. Mick would probably have a moo-cow if he found out they were going out sans Fleetwood Mac.
