It's a shame, I really think he has little voice left. When I saw them last, he was ONLY singing what he had to. The backup girls were singing pretty much all the choruses.

Chris seems to be the only one who still has "most" of her voice still intact.

Agreed... she was pitchy to me the first night.. but she improved so much by the third show that I had seen. Stevie was not pitchy at all. But, she only sings 4 notes.

Well, it's true.

This will either be the best thing we've been dreaming for for years, or the saddest money grab since the last time an ancient band ran out of fuel. I hope for a Say You Will with some Christine added.

(I haven't posted in ages but a certain Chris alerted me to a new album)

Oh come on now. With the record industry today there is no money grab with a studio album. But I'm with you....I still have to pinch myself we are going to hear Christine McVie new songs! Say You Will is a pretty high standard. I just cant wait to hear Christine on every song or at least her influence on every song.

First of all, it's fantastic to see you posting again!

But yeah, I pretty much agree. However, I don't hold any hope of a new album being artistically palatable the way Say You Will was. Lindsey is steering the ship, and the songs he has released since Seeds We Sow have been middle of the road garbage. If you haven't heard Fleetwood Mac's Extended Play or his songs from the This is 40 soundtrack, do look them up. I think Lindsey is trying so hard to be mainstream in order to appeal to Stevie that he's totally lost his muse. With Christine being the poster child for inoffensive pop music, and Lindsey and Stevie racing to the middle of that road as well over the past decade, I just don't see how anything Fleetwood Mac might come up with could have any teeth. It'll all be one giant inoffensive compromise so they can pull off working together one last time.

Word.

I do wish it weren't going to be this way, though. It might sound redundant, but I want Tusk 2.0, but recorded with the foresight that *this is it*. I would hope that recording a final album would be cause for adventure, for unconventional material, for abandoning the formula.

Yeah, live Christine did sound the best, but Lindsey still sounds (mostly) fine on albums. It seems to be only live, night after night, where he has an issue.

When talking to Mick at a meet and greet, he commented that the person who has weathered the best, talent wise, was Lindsey. He said that it always amazes him how Lindsey can be on stage 100% of the time during the concerts, never take a break for long, and keep on "screaming at the top of his lungs, and keep his voice intact." I think those were his exact words. Maybe this last tour was just too much for the guy though?

I have to agree. I brought a friend to one of the shows and the highlight of the show for him was watching LB. Amazing energy.

Lindsey's no spring chicken but I think this tour caught up with him. To be fair, a lot of his vocal work is 'shouty' so I can understand why he struggled. Christine started dodgy and then got better and better until the end of the Eurpean tour. Dont forget, they cancelled a couple of UK shows due to her voice problems and her singing at the Isle of Wight festival sounded quite poor. She was back on song for the London show I caught and it seems her voice for the Aus/NZ tour was great too.

Album:
I had to go back and look at the confirmed song titles; Carnival Begin, Red Sun and Too Far Gone.

If anyone is aware of any others I'd love to know.
