You cant say that for sure. No one thought "The Dance" would ever happen, not even Stevie. So my optimism holds despite your opinion.

But they toured for The Dance. I thought you were saying you wanted just a live performance on DVD with Christine, and that they didn't have to tour?

The problem is, ironically, Mick. As it stands, he won't let Chris back in unless she tours. I see his point--to a point. But the band is getting old and why not just let it happen on album? He can send any old lineup on the road, as he's done in the past.
And let's not forget, Mick changes the rules when he needs to: he allowed--no persuaded--Chris to contribute to Time, even though it was clear she would not tour with the band that year. In order for anything to happen (most likely not in 2008 at any rate) someone's gotta give. |

Personally I think that if there is a collective will for the 5 of them to make some more music together then they'll find a way. It doesn't need to be a whole album. a few songs released on iTunes would be fine. If they all wanted to do it some of the recording could be done in L.A. and some in Kent.
The 4 who still want to tour could and Christine could sit at home and mind the dogs. the trouble is the number of "ifs". As the great Ruud Gullitt (footballer and manager) once said "if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle" ![]() I do not think the collective will exists. Once Stevie started making her "not without Chris noises" if I'd have been Christine I'd have changed my phone number in case Mick got on my case. I think she probably feels that if they recorded together the pressure to tour would inevitably follow. She never really enjoyed touring all that much and it's been 10 years. I just don't think she can face it. I would rather she sat at home and not tour out of some missplaced sense of loyalty or duty which would show in her performance.

It just irks the hell out of me that everything centers around whether Lindsey &/or Stevie want to get it together for Fleetwood Mac to exist.
Screw 'em!!!! If Mick & John want/need to do something, get people who WANT to be in Fleetwood Mac and get to work!!!

Oh, they could get Bekka Bramlett and Bob Welch, probably Billy and Rick, too. That's all I'd need.
Actually, I'm still liking my idea of just putting together a new incarnation altogether. I'd love to see an indie/power pop variant of Fleetwood Mac that would be Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Alex Chilton, Susanna Hoffs, and Jay Bennett. (A John McVie bassline on "September Gurls" would effing kick ass.)

I saw Fleetwood Mac live on the TIME Tour in Phoenix and Christine McVie WAS on that stage performing with the band.

I did not know this. I thought she played the superbowl in 1993 and that was it.

I would love to see the band tour again, as a whole or with the SYW lineup, but not against anyone's will. Christine has made it clear, time and again, that she doesn't want to tour anymore. She can be poked and prodded till kingdom come, and eventually she may change her mind, but that doesn't mean she'll truly want to be there. I personally don't want to see a bunch of people who would rather be home up on stage, trying to get through it. That especially goes for Christine, and if Stevie truly feels the way she does about touring without Chris, it also goes for her.
I don't know if this is ever a possibility, I don't know if it could happen or even be considered, but I would love to see Mick, John and Lindsey go out together if neither of the ladies are interested in touring and see what that leads to. I won't lie, it's the Rumours lineup I prefer and am most interested in seeing, but perhaps they could even work in some past members into that lineup. I'm not sure what kind of setlist would come out of it, and it may be too similiar to a Lindsey solo show plus a few other tunes, but I'd certainly attend something like that. |

Well, you know, this is as likely as any of the other options. As Christine once said, "Anything is Possible."

Superbowl. The inauguration. I didn't think she did anything else with them on stage.

That's what I thought. So is that, VivFox, what you saw?

Fuzzy memory. Christine never played live with that incarnation of Fleetwood Mac. Maybe you're thinking of the "Behind The Mask" tour? As far as I know, the only other blonde female to sing live with THAT incarnation of Fleetwood Mac was Bonnie Bramlett (Bekka's mom). For Christine, it was bad enough she was on an album with Dave Mason. She wouldn't be caught dead on stage with him.
