One would assume that they would be playing larger venues because there would be more demand.

And, I’m not worried about anything. Lindsey can play smaller venues as a solo artist, Mick can fall back on the blues...Everybody who wants to work can find a way to make a buck.

However, I also get that playing a two hour show to 2500 people is the same amount of work as playing to 4000.

i've heard many breathing a sigh of relief when we found out Mick will not be a part of BuckVie touring band.

“Many on the Internet” is anecdotal. All of the TeamLindsey FB crowd wouldn’t have made up one section of the crowd at a Fleetwood Mac show.

Mick and his band play bars, vineyards, and tiny clubs.

Yeah, and they made a Grammy-nominated album...

Mick Fleetwood on his own isn’t a huge draw. He doesn’t sing or write songs, he’s just a drummer. However, he has the “Fleetwood” name and Lindsey’s most critically acclaimed work was with the “Fleetwood” name. So, for Lindsey, including Mick Fleetwood means a bigger show.

“Fleetwood Buckingham” would get much more attention than either the Mick Fleetwood Blues Band or Lindsey Buckingham.

Did Mick write the orchestral/horns part of Tusk or was that Lindsey?

I know Tusk is listed as written by Lindsey but I thought Mick wrote that horn part that comes in after the drum break

Mick had the idea to add a brass band, but neither actually wrote the arrangement for the marching band. Neither read music.

That was it. I remember reading that in Play On now. Mick wanted USC Band to join them at the Forum in 2014 he writes in his book.

If Mac ever did a farewell gig at the LA Coliseum, I'd go for sure just at the chance of the marching band joining for Tusk.

I heard UCLA Band play Satisfaction before the Stones came on at Staples and it was freaking amazing.

not sure whether you saw when Lindsey did a Q&A at USC several years back, and it ended with him and USC marching band doing Tusk and GYOW. USC dept that organized it put the whole thing on youtube, very bice recording and very cool gig.
