Tour 2006? Straight from Mick

For what it's worth.... Read all the way to the end:

Associated Press Writer
CLEVELAND (AP) -- Mick Fleetwood sometimes has to lean over at
the dinner table and concentrate on what somebody is saying a few
feet away.
The 57-year-old drummer for Fleetwood Mac said his partial
hearing loss is why he became involved in Monday's experimental
"quiet" rock concert at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, in which
about 100 people took part, with mixed results.
The concert featured the band Eagles of Death Metal, which first
played two songs without any amplification. The audience, listening
through miniature radio receivers, reacted mostly with smiles to
the adjustable sound.
The band then followed with three amplified songs on speakers,
as it normally performs. Many in the crowd jumped up, dancing and
waving their arms.
The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, based in
Rockville, Md., measured the unamplified sound at 62 decibels -- a
normal level -- and the amplified sound at 124 decibels, which they
said is like a jet engine.
Fleetwood, a 1998 inductee into the Rock Hall, said many rock
musicians now wear ear protection or monitor their music
electronically, but he questioned whether quiet concerts would
catch on.
"Who's to say? Could you see 18,000 people someday listening to
Pink Floyd on head phones? Maybe, with a weird magic wand," he
said. "What I'd hope this does is make the point that you can wear
ear protection, such as earplugs, at concerts and still enjoy the
concert."
Ben Schreckengost, 21, a former member of a rock band, said the
quiet concert didn't impress him much. "I would think live is
better," he said. "I like to sing along. You don't feel the bass
and the drum."
But Yulia Kokhan, 26, enjoyed the muted tones. "I don't like
loud," she said.
Fleetwood Mac, a classic rock band dating to the 1960s, still
performs and will likely have another tour in 2006, Fleetwood said. ------

Did he mention what kind of tour?
Normaly they just tour 'round US.
Would be nice visiting Europe once more, the thoughts already is exciting.

Too funny... I was just about to post the very same article!

Interesting news, and seems to imply a potential 2006 album.
Not going to hold my breath though... my lungs aren't that strong!

Ah, and there goes Lindsey's solo album, then, once again...

[WelshWitchPMD]

I really wish that Stevie was not touring right now. She needs to get back in the studio with The Mac ASAP and be done with the record by Aug 1 2005.
This way they can start touring the end of summer.

i think i'll start saving now...

Sounds reasonable. Stevie could do her thing with Don Juan this summer/fall? and then go back into the studio late fall to winter 06. For all we really know, Lindsey could be working on songs for the MAC album now. I realize he has said a few other things but history shows that doesn'tlways mean much. I am excited about this and hope it pans out. It also coincides with what Taku said to someone in email from his sight...."Mac in the summer of 2006"

Seriously. I doubt album will ever see the light of day.

With all due respect to Buckingham\Nicks - I hope it's a reunion of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac. It's been talked about by Mick before.

Now, we cannot give up. If everyone keeps saying it wont happen then it wont and as odd and messed up it sounds for him to make a solo album..I am sure it will happen...Just beleive and you will receive.

Screw the tour, does anyone else see something wrong with this age? Won't Stevie be turning 57 herself in May?!?!? I thought Mick was much older than her.

No, he's not that much older than her-- This year LB will turn 56, Stevie will turn 57, Mick will turn 58, John will turn 60 and Chris will turn 62. So many articles get their ages wrong.

I've read many articles with Mick's birthdate being in 1942, not 1947. I've sometimes suspected that Mick at some point shaved five years off his age. He certainly looks more than just one year older than Stevie & there's no way he looks four years younger than Chris.

I don't know, I kinda think he looks ok for 57! But I like older guys.

Chris has said she felt like 'a big sister' to the guys.... Men don't seem to care as much about that 'age' stuff.... for some reason I believe him!

Then again, Mick at one point was the manager of Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, John McVie, Christine McVie, AND Bob Welch. That would add five years to anybody's life. As he said, it's no wonder he went bald!
