Fm Channel May 1 On Sirius

Between the early stuff, Crowded House, and TPATH, they have more than enough to cover Lindsey’s absence. Lindsey only had seven or eight songs in the set.

Also, GYOW isn’t going to ever be cut from a Fleetwood Mac setlist. It’s one they have to do.

Perhaps, And those are Mick's sentiments too--but I don't think Neil can do it justice. Similar to when Lindsey and Stevie attempted "Say You Love Me" Disaster. And not to stir the pot further because i know this has been hashed around--I want to hear FM at a FM concert---not CH or TPH. But I am sitting this one out and hope the folks who see this iteration really enjoy it.

Classy comments, Storms123. I remember when I read FM was touring as Dave Mason, Billy, Bekka, Mick, and John and playing with REO Speedwagon and I think Pat Benatar and just feeling so bummed, and having no desire to see them. But my brother and his girlfriend went and said the concert was a lot of fun. All three, in fact. There was no way I could have seen that version of FM, but like you, I certainly wasn't hoping they would fail or that people would have a bad time.

I saw them at Kings Island Timberwolf. It was a lot of fun and all the bands were really good! Don't forget Orleans. The beer was flowing.....

Hey, I was at that show! I actually talked with Bekka before the show. She was going to ride that bungee cord-like ride they had. “Dreaming The Dream” blew my mind, especially with the fireworks in the background.

I enjoyed all three bands at the Indy show. The worst part was the audience members bitching(we had lawn seats, so we could hear everything around us), that "it isn't FM without Stevie". But Bekka blew me away, with Dreaming The Dream.

Technically speaking, the best singer, hands down, that FM ever had. And she's still got amazing pipes!

Let's see..so what you are saying is giving a new line up a chance worked out pretty well for you and listening to people saying that the band should just be over since it no longer had their member of choice was tiresome? Hmm...

I'm afraid of heights, so there was NO WAY I was going up there. It was fun watching everyone else do it. It was going on all day, so it just added to the entertainment factor of being at a concert within an amusement park. Hats off to Bekka if she did it.

Yes, THAT particular song stands out in my mind. She did indeed nail it and the atmosphere only added to it. It was beautiful!

Sorry I missed you! So what else did Bekka have to say?

Thank you !I love Music--I love LIVE music I am truly saddened by what's happening to this group right now. I hope beyond all that I (we ) have the opportunity to see the Rumours 5 again. I won't be seeing this iteration of FM, not because I don't respect what they've done as a band historically (or the new group separately), but because it actually has the feel of "throwing spaghetti at the wall and let see what sticks" I have HUGE respect for Mike Campbell. Had the privilege of seeing one of the last shows on the TPH tour last summer (if we only knew). He's truly an amazing musician. I've never really followed CH, but have checked it out on line, and honestly, while Neil is a great artist and musician--I don't see how he can do what Lindsey did--and let's take a step back and admit, they are asking him to fill Lindsey's shoes in some way. I don't think he can, and if this is the last time I Can see FM live--I don't want to be left with that memory as my last FM concert. I saw OWTS at MSG and Prudential Center--I will have that as my memory of the farewell tour should they not get their isht together while they are all on this side of the dirt.

I think it's too late, and I would hope that Lindsey wouldn't go back.

I mean, SOMEBODY has to have some credibility in this scenario!

And that's the saddest part of all. Because for as much as I want to see them all together again, I also think Lindsey needs to tell Mick and Stevie to stick it!

I really disagree here Homer, Lindsey belongs in the Mac. Neil does not. Sorry, I have no ax to grind against the new members, if someone offered me the gig I'd totally take it....but it's wrong IMO to be so unforgiving as to permanently bar any possible reunion. It would completely be soap opera to the nth sickening degree, but it's never been pretty in the inner workings of this band.
I love them too much to see them go out like this...
