what next for LB?

I think it's pretty safe to say there will be no recording with Fleetwood Mac until their upcoming tour is over (if they ever record again, period). I think Lindsey will probably hold out and see what is going to happen with Fleetwood Mac before committing his songs to another solo project.

I cannot see Fleetwood Mac recording an EP, though I really dig the idea. Either the band won't record at all, or they will go for a full album since they were all actually able to agree on recording new material in the first place. That being said, I can't see the band recording in 2012 or 2013. Everyone just seems to have different ideas on what they want out of their band, and when. It looks like it's carved in stone that 2013 will be dedicated to another Mac oldies tour, though.

nice break-down of possibilities, seems pretty realistic to me.

i know Lindsey really wants to add another solo leg, but it may not work out. i hope for all the people who are still waiting to see this tour (or people who are in LB-live withdrawal phase!) that he manages to do it... but if not, 61-date tour from may through sept was a pretty nice and densely packed run!!

UK / EU tour... well, maybe he can somehow do a few dates in between FM dates, when he already has the equipment there, especially if it's a one-man show - kinda like he did Soundstage recording in the middle of SYW tour? (this idea originated from LB actually - provided in response to a m&g question, when repeatedly badgered by one of his UK fans.)

LB has been repeatedly saying in response to m&g questions (from numerous people with BN vinyls for him to sign!) that he would love to do something about BN reissue, plus possibly a really small tour, however the ball is in SN's court. although i personally don't care much about that album, seems that many wish to see something BN-related done in 2013, considering it's 40-years since it first came out. if some kind of mini-tour happens, i hope they add some newer songs (Twisted, SA come to mind), or BN songs that came out as FM songs later (IDWTK?), and not just rehash 40 year old ones.

i have no idea what might happen re any FM recording projects, but there are those 8 songs Mick and Lindsey both mentioned, that they would like FM to consider. so i agree with you, seems LB intended those songs to be FM songs, not solo... but whatever happens - and whenever - i hope it's extremely fast. LB (and DS, if he'd be involved) seem to be able to work really fast these days, so hope that translates to any potential FM project - or that there is none. LB solo on the road is too good... don't want him to waste away in the studio for the next 3 years working on some Mac project.
