There's nothing worse than your gear crapping out mid show.

Tobin Sprout’s Hiwatt died mid show (first night of a three show leg) and had to plug into a DI box. He bought a Blackstar the next day.

My Yamaha CP30 started crackling every time I hit the keys at Whiskey Pete’s in Stateline. The sound man told me at intermission (my monitor was on the fritz) and said that he actually turned off my channel in the PA entirely.

I would ask Stevie which floor you are getting off on? Then I will remark that I grasped both of her hands at edge of the stage in Las Vegas at Caesars Palace in 2007. At that moment I felt I was with Rhiannon alone. It has been a long journey but my thoughts and feelings went back to the beginning when I first heard Stevie on the radio.At that time I was excited because the DJ said a new Fleetwood Mac song was coming on.As the new song played I was disappointed that the singer was not the one I was familiar with and really liked(Christine McVie). I guess I was won over. RIP Songbird.

I would ask Lindsey for his next show...
What can I do to convince you to play Big Love in the Tango album mode?

A Lindsey question(s) comes to mind immediately:
1. WHY oh WHY did the guitar solos get removed from Rhiannon and Sisters of the Moon when performed between '97-'15

2. When older songs were brought back into the setlist after decades of absence i.e. Sisters, Sara, Think About Me, Hold Me...did you listen to recordings from the Tusk/Mirage tours to brush up on how you played the parts live back then or was it all muscle memory?

Stevie: What really happened during the RAL Recordings.

A question for Lindsey (although other members could also provide answers to this as well): How involved were the other members on your Tango in the Night songs? Did Mick Fleetwood play drums on "Big Love"? Were most of the keyboards on your songs covered by the Fairlight, or did Christine McVie play most of the synthesizers?
