I like this idea a lot.

I noticed no one has mentioned Christine!! I take it most of us think she is truly enjoing her retirement in England attending to her flower garden.

My wish is though is that she gets bored of the green thumb and decides to joing the gang for one last fling for the 30th anniversary of Rumours in 2007. A true "Fleetwood Mac Farwell Tour. It doesn't have to be 135 dates--short and sweet would be just fine.

A rock and roll chic like Christine can't live on tulip beds alone. Sooner or later she'll come crawling back to the Mac. Just you watch!

I did! I don't think she will come back and I couldn't see them doing a 30th Rumours Anniversary without her.

If I had to pick I would think it's Lindsey who might remain "out of the loop" given his history of being reclusive but I hope not as much as before. I'm willing to bet, Lindsey has more contact than in days gone by. Just because all the ugliness is over, and I think they are all truely friends. Given the fact that Cory is working with Stevie and also that Stevie has mentioned Darryl (Lindseys sister) as a close friend, I would think Stevie and Lindsey at least run the in same circles (cycles...whatever )
I would really like to see Lindsey release that solo album but at this point I'm loosing hope. I mean one little comment about his album and then no news for months. sheesh

Back to the orginal question, I just don't think Stevie or any other member of the band could just sit around playing bridge. It wouldn't be long before her creative side would be rearing it's head we have some kind of up coming project to look forward to.

Yep, I think you're right that Mick and John stay in touch and Lindsey might be the most reclusive. But with Cory working with Stevie, he probably does stay in touch a little more. Btw, I didn't know Lindsey had a sister? I thought he had a few brothers.

Stevie, to me, always seemed more reserved when she's with FM, both on record and on stage. I'm pretty sure it's the Lindsey influence. Case in point: that black, button up sweater he made her wear. I really hated that top!!

I have always thought that Stevie felt held down when she was with FM as opposed to solo. From her clothes to her performances. I know it's unpopular to think this, but I agree that it has a lot to do with Lindsey. Compare the SYW tour to Vegas to now! Huge difference. SYW tour, she seemed tired a lot and much more reserved and the way she dressed really was not hot. Vegas? Smoking hot! Now? I would go gay for her. I think it's obvious she's more herself and loose when she's on her own. Just my opinion.

THANK YOU!!! I couldn't agree more. She has pretty much said this very thing in various interviews through the years. Lindsey has always been envious of people's adoration of Stevie. I can understand this. He was the creative mastermind behind Fleetwood Mac's records and he didn't get much credit for that, at least on stage. I think, especially in recent years to keep the peace, Stevie has intentionally toned down her performances and look to keep Lindsey happy. I think she feels a lot more free when she's solo and it shows, on all of her solo tours.

I just like it when people arent afraid to express their opinions, whatever they are

I think the future of Fleetwood Mac holds some sort of something-or-other for the 40th anniversary in 2007.

Personally, I hope it involves some sort of public humiliation for the band that isn't too expensive for consumers to witness or hear.

I"d like to see a Fleetwood Mac version of Cirque du Soleil. Imagine a show where every member of the Mac -- Stevie, Danny, Bob Welch, John McVie, etc. -- exhibit acts of courage & skill, breathtaking physiographic formations & death-defying stunts hundreds of feet above the venue floor.

See Christine McVie & Dave Walker soar above the crowds on the trampoline & the power track, whilst singing "I'm a Road Runner" & the original, unrecorded studio take of "Hypnotized"!

Witness Stevie Nicks & Peter Green take Dave Mason by the ankles & swing him skyward over the vast abyss of space in the banquine act!

I don't know what you're smoking, but I want some!!

Well, I would love to see Stevie finally publish her book of memoirs - but only after she has declared herself positively finished ever recording and/or touring again.

Late 2006: New Stevie album; very short tour. But then she will selflessly and valiantly leave the road to rejoin Fleetwood Mac for...

2007: Fleetwood Mac tour - Mammoth, heavily-promoted Rumours 30th Anniversary blah blah blah. Christine will join them on a few shows in the UK.

As much as it kills me to say... I don't think we'll see another Fleetwood Mac album.

2008 onwards... Stevie gigs in Vegas...

And Lindsey... anyone's guess. I don't see a solo album ever happening, unless he produces and releases it on his own label. I don't think he'll do a solo tour.

Since 2007 will be the band's 40th anniversary, I bet they do SOMETHING.

What I'D like to see would be a new Fleetwood Mac album, however, not what most of you are thinking. I'd like to see an album of new material from all of the members who had significant tenures in Fleetwood Mac, specifically Stevie, Lindsey, Christine, Peter, Jeremy, Bob Welch, and Billy. Obviously, Christine still won't tour, and I bet Jeremy could be counted out as well. But, I'd love to see a 40th anniversary tour with Mick, John, Stevie, Lindsey, Peter, Bob Welch, and Billy.

I can see them doing another Mac album but i don't think they will tour with it BUT i can see them doing a Rumours anniversary tour and they don't need an album for that. it would be AWESOME tho if each member picked one or 2 of THEIR favorite songs (from other artists etc) and performed them........like Stevie did with 'Rock & Roll"
