Honestly, John is going to have to take pay deductions if he is not going to do any interviews.

That's hilarious how John kept coming over and giving Mick a tally of how much money he earned during the concert, but really John's head is never on the same level as Mick's during a show. So, what did he do? Shout it over the drum kit?

Lindsey's oldest girl used to love Justin Bieber, I wonder if either of them still do.

Those guys certainly looked tan, compared to Stevie in the middle.

I'll be glad to see Lindsey's leather jacket go for this tour. I don't know what color shirt he's going to wear, but just getting rid of the jacket will be a plus.

Well, Stevie hasn't sunbathed since when, 1978?

This reminded me - check it out Stevie was correcting the interviewer on the release year for Rumours! Stevie. That was funny, Mama. You got that fact right!

Another video.

This one starts out boring but gets pretty heavy at the end there.




Stevie talks about staying active & never stopping being one of the reasons they can still go out and play and not collapse on stage etc. They talk about the setlist. Mick says he's putting them on the spot but he wants a big component of the show to be highlighting Lindsey & Stevie somehow, whether that's an old song they've never played with FM before (WITHOUT YOU?!!?) or a cover (CALIFORNIA DREAMING?!?)..

Lindsey: "One of the things that I have noticed about Stevie and myself - and we've known each other since we were 16 and 17 - is that we are still somehow inventing new dynamics within the two of us. We are still discovering things about each other. Perhaps we are still getting back to things we once had... It makes it very sweet that after all these years we can perhaps now start to address some of the love that has always been there and some of the things that we have shared. Not just Stevie and me, but all of us together.. but certainly Stevie and me have been through things together that no one else has been through. It's nice to be able to acknowledge that and share that."

And then this one mostly talking about the setlist and what they will play.

[michelej1]

It's kind of disappointing to hear them say that they still don't have a clue what will be in the setlist, besides 2/3 of the same old songs, with the other 1/3 being comprised of "color" that will hopefully make this tour different from SYW and Unleashed.

Logically, I knew they still had to rehearse, play around with song arrangements and have songs thrown out, but listening to interviews I had it in my mind I imagined hints and I started concluding that there were certain things they WERE going to do this time and it had already been decided and to have it confirmed that nothing has been decided gave me a sharp reality check.

Stevie got a muscle spasm from her EAR down to her waist when she carried a guitar? Hmmm. Well, I guess she means her neck area.

I don't know, but if I was a body language expert, the way Stevie looked at Lindsey when Mick said that John's been sailing with his wife, I'd suspect that John wasn't with his wife.

Michele

[michelej1]

So, we had "Goodbye Angel" and now we have, "hello, hello Sad Angel."

Hmmm.

Michele

Haha yay! New weird story from Stevie about a neck spasm! I live for this stuff

I think Mick just said John was "too busy sailing or something in Hawaii" - I didn't hear him say wife. I just took her glance as a knowing look, the "that's John for you" smile.

I hope everyone is staying healthy, Stevie seemed to be clearing her throat often. Lindsey is making me nervous with how quiet he's being. What is up? They were really lighthearted during last tour's interviews. But I'm sure there is more to come. Maybe they're having an off day. Everyone's entitled to an off day or two.

Also, I'm dying with this 3 years thing. They have never done a three year gap enough times to make it a pattern lol. I mean after The Dance, that was like what even rounding the tour into 98...they didn't tour again till 2003. 5 years. Then the 09 tour, another 5 years about. Even from the start they never had a 3 year gap haha. It was every 2 years an album, then touring. Then 5 years after Mirage. I love her dearly, but she needs to stop. I guess I can't begrudge her for one of her talking points, like Lindsey's speeches on cycles and looking out for love

[michelej1]

They were on Extra. They asked Stevie which song would be good for Hilary Clinton and Stevie said Gold Dust Woman and changed it to Gold Dust Hilary.

I think Mick said wife, which was odd enough. I'm suspicious.

I think whatever Lindsey's deal is (tired?) is just transitory. I don't think it's going to impact anything. Maybe that's how he acts when he's trying to be agreeable.

Yeah, I'm not so disappointed but I see your point. I think If we set ourselves up for songs we want to hear vs what they will actually play...then I see the disappointment.

Reality is...FM is not going to branch off too far from Rumours (with the 35th anniversary year). I think at most we will hear the 2 new songs and Without You. That's the big surprises already unveiled. Any more than 3 "newer" songs and FM (in their minds) are venturing into insecure territory.

This gives me very little hope that we will hear anything from SYW, TITN (other than BL, of course) and anything "newer/revisited" from Tusk. Also, I really wanted to hear Crystal, Twisted, and Frozen Love.

I like that Mick is encouraging more duet/collaborations, but at this point I wouldn't put money on anything daring or too extreme.

I unfortunately agree with you.

I have several coworkers and friends that are very interested in seeing FM this time around ( for whatever reason). These are the types that aren't interested in hearing anything new or different.

LOL!!! "Sloppy datey??".... hysterical! It was just a second, but they so easily slip into Burns & Allen. If only I could listen to their stories all day... but sorry, Karen. LOL.

Faints at the thought...

[Macfanforever]

Thanks .I wish the interviewer had a better mike or have a mike hooked on him or pot up the mike that he is talking into.I could not hear the questions good.

[WildHearted]

What I don't understand is how Karen has managed to avoid hearing all of these stories for the past two decades.
