It's funny to me that nobody calls it a cover band when Stevie, Lindsey, Christine, Peter, or Welch do their Mac songs as solo artists. At least with Mick and John doing the songs, there are TWO people who were actually part of the original recordings.

I've never been of fan of Fleetwood Mac incorporating solo songs into the setlists or greatest hits album releases, a la "Stand Back" from The Chain and "Go Insane" from The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac.

However, oddly enough, I don't really have a problem with Fleetwood Mac songs on a solo setlist. Stevie does Landslide, Rhiannon, Dreams, and Gold Dust Woman pretty much on all her solo shows/tours. Though I do feel that those songs should be a small minority in the setlist. Fleetwood Mac is one thing - various solo careers are another.

Anyway, back to Dave Mason, why didn't he do any Fleetwood Mac songs when, you know, he was in Fleetwood Mac?
