I'm going to have to take your word for it. I haven't seen or heard it but I'm sure I read somebody somewhere say Stevie sang the lead and Neil sang back up vocals on Hypnotized. But if its Neil then fair enough- thats one more for him.

He could easily sing lead on a ton of Kirwan songs???? Yes, I know. But he doesn't. That's my point. He's just wasted. If they are going to have him- why doesn't he sing more. They are playing TATTYD but I understand Chris is singing that. For the record I'd have gone with Like it This Way or Jewel Eyed Judy. Actually, I'd also have also welcomed the much talked about Station Man.

He's a world class songwriter??? Yes. He is. But he isnt going to write and record anything with this bunch. If they had any inclination to record they could have easily done something ahead of this tour. The fact they haven't even done an EP collection suggests this is a short lived iteration.

Neil does sound good, imo.

For me, that might be a highlight by the looks of it. I do hope its not a bathroom break for the masses though.

This was GOOD, REALLY GOOD! Neil sounds almost as good as Bob here. Plus I LOVE that song. But, I'm still not going.

OMFG! I've listened to this so many times now. I need a full on version of this song NOW! Always been one of my favorite FM songs of all time.

Absolutely love this clip. Neil's voice is a perfect match for the song, and the harmonies with Stevie and Chris are magical.

Looking forward to more videos of these shows!! and seeing how the performances improve over time

Actually really enjoying what I've seen of these (though I'm not sure about Stevie singing Black Magic Woman).

A great set - only I would leave out Monday Morning and Second Hand News and replace them with Sentimental Lady and Freedom.

I'd ditch Monday Morning in favour of Blue Letter. A legit Fleetwood Mac song but not a Lindsey song since he didn't write it.

Well Sentimental Lady was a hit, even if for Bob rather than them, and Freedom is the only Nicks/Campbell co-write ever issued by Fleetwood Mac.

I really need to hear Hypnotized it's my favorite FM song after all. The short clip sounds pretty good.

He sings one Danny song, which is more than we’ve had in over 40 years. However, the two songs of Neil’s, especially DDIO, have greater cultural significance than anything Danny ever did, and I absolutely love Danny.

Christine sings with him, like she did when Stevie and Lindsey did it back in the day. But to your overall point, he sang lead or co-lead on at least ten songs.

And Neil is a world class songwriter. He had his share of pop success, but ultimately followed a more artistic route. If anything, I wish they’d do one from his most recent album that featured Mick.

It must be a strange feeling for Neil that a song which is no doubt a highlight of his own shows and would always get a huge crowd response, DDIO, is introduced by Mick almost apologetically, and then Stevie has to sing lead on half of it to make sure the audience pays attention.
