Stevie - MOJO - 'The Story Behind Christine McVie's Live Return'

[getTusked]

My god I can't believe the huge stir up this article has caused!

I think everyone on here has a valid point about several things..it's so interesting to hear from everyone.

This is just my lil old opinion, but I feel like there are so many things we don't know or aren't taking into account. To me it makes no sense for Christine's first show to be in Dublin. Isn't she from London? Didn't Fleetwood Mac pretty much start there? Naturally it would make sense for her to show up there first.

Also, think about the set list for a minute. Don't stop is her big song, so having her first come out to World Turning is a little strange...could they have done it? Yes, but it wouldn't have quite the same effect. FM is pretty scripted and by the book when it comes to the tours so you knew you weren't gonna get any big surprise or anything out of order. Also, what would she do for Say Goodbye? Just awkwardly stand there while Linds and Stevie sing to each other?

I don't think Chris has any intentions of recording or touring with them again. If she did, then they probably would have been willing to do more, possibly add a song or keep her there for the 2nd encore. That would have been a great segway to a new album. But if she doesn't, than it doesn't really matter.

I also think things may have been different is she was willing to come to the US and do something. If she comes to the Vegas show, that might be a good time to throw in another song or two, since that appears to be the last show of this tour. Then they can play around with it and make it special.

Lindsey is protective and defensive about Fleetwood Mac and has admitted several times how pushy and intense he can be...so even if there's truth to the article, I don't think its a "wow Lindsey's an ass" situation. I think he just goes about it with more thought and detail than the others do. Stevie and Mick are probably thinking "who cares! let her do whatever". LB doesn't think that way and never really has.

Ok sorry....I'm done lol
