The album was still a huge commercial success.
In the time-honored tradition of perseverance, Mick made sure Fleetwood Mac moved onward. Unlike other members who have passed through the band, Lindsey, Stevie and Christine are the only ones who have left, but eventually came back! There is no band quite like them!
Even without Lindsey, the tours with Rick and Billy were successful. The live performances that recorded and initially released on VHS tape, show that they still remained a viable band despite the shift in chemistry. I only wished that it featured the complete show, without Stevie's post-show filmed close ups (similar to her Red Rocks video).
I would like to assume that the entire show was filmed, and all of it still exists. In the unlikelihood it will be re-released, it would be nice to see the whole concert. The same goes for the Mirage tour film.
