LBT Rumour of Christine in NOLA

I mean, most people won't care, but the people who do care a LOT and the band should be more considerate.

It happened when Gilmour joined Waters in London a couple years ago. If the show is sold out how is it being inconsiderate to not give advanced warning? 20,000 people will get to see it either way and the shows would all be sold out whether she's there or not. And they'll get a great performance from the band which is what they paid for. Like you said, nothing was mentioned until after the tickets were sold so those people didn't buy tickets expecting Christine anyway. It's not shameful.

Fans who have been waiting for 15 years to see her again should get the chance to do it if they want. They should at least get the chance to try, rather than to live the rest of their lives regretting it, assuming this will be her last performance with the band -- and probably at all.

You can still get tickets for the show(s). You just need to work for it. Why put people through all that trouble. At a Meet and Greet show Mick said they should just buy tickets to all 3 events. He was just being glib, but I don't appreciate the remark.

If she appears at one show and not the others and we are never told which show it will be, it's inconsiderate, shameful and, frankly, a lot more than that.

I am not even sure he was entirely glib. It would not surprise me if keeping the fans in the dark about the date is yet another way to fleece them for what amounts to another golden oldies tour.

Until the Mac comes out with a full-length studio album of new music I can't get enthusiastic about their touring.

I don't buy the EP logic that the band is "assessing" if there's enough interest in a full album. That's bull. I also don't buy the logic that Christine's full participation on a studio album is continent on her willingness to tour. And finally, I don't buy the excuse that the band performs mostly old songs because audiences would otherwise walk. It's all bull.

I agree on the first two points. I don't believe they're going to record a full album based on the success of the EP. They'll record when Stevie wants to record. She didn't give the band any songs for the EP. She doesn't want to do it. Until she does, it won't happen. If Christine said she was willing to do an album, but not tour I just don't see Mick saying "Nope, no can do". That's ridiculous. On the third point, I think they absolutely believe that the audience would lose interest if they did not play all the hits.

For SYW the band didn't participate in the rumors and in his Q & A John seemed almost apologetic that they circulated at all, saying that there was never a plan for Christine to appear when they were in England. This time around, Mick does seem to be trying to fan the talk himself. Of course, It's more than talk, since Christine has indicated her willingness too.

It seems she won't rejoin the band for a full concert, but just for singing "Don't stop", as she already did in Maui with Mick: http://stevienicksnews.net/2013/04/2...mac-in-london/

Wow Michele, your post count is exactly 16,000 at this moment.

So has Lindsey now said this too? I'd like to hear the words he used.

The bridge may have burned, but maybe Lindsey is throwing her a rope.

I think you're overreacting. At least to this point. They probably don't know right now which show she'll be at and I'm sure she doesn't either. I doubt they've got that set in stone. It's possible they'll let that information slip as it gets closer to the gig and they have concrete plans. I think right now it's just an idea. A verbal agreement. The shows are 5 months away.
