I think she'd think that song was hilarious. Really, it's no worse than "Rattlesnake Shake" and she did that one in Maui.

I didn't mean it that way. I don't think Christine would have anything morally against Come. She's not really the type to raise such concerns. I just think Lindsey will definitely not be able to have Come and ISA in the same FM setlist again, with 3 of them.

lol. yeah, it's not like she hasn't been doing it for decades. and not like there's anything new in their setlist. or that there will be.

he won't. and that's fine. Come completely solo was spectacular and got standing Os every. single. time. he can continue doing it solo.

Unfortunately, the fact that Lindsey does a song with Fleetwood Mac does not deter him from doing it solo and, the fact that he does it solo does not stop him from doing it with Fleetwood Mac. I wish that were not the case.

I have nothing against Come solo. Indeed, Come sounded excellent during the OMS, which is more than I can say for other songs.

i know, i'm talking about how it would affect me.

it wouldn't much.

the fact that he's not doing In Our Own Time with the Mac when other band members are doing solo songs just so they can have something rocking in the set is what does affect me. because i want to hear IOOT with the band. and i know that will never ever happen.

if he would do Walk a Thin Line solo, i would not care much whether he does it with the Mac. the fact that Christine will be back and that Mick says WATL is one of his favorite songs ever makes me want to hear it with the Mac (plus the fact that every time i went to m&g i kept telling Mick they need to do WATL... well other than that one time when i questioned why are they not doing Oh Well

).

Like you can have our band on solo songs

No, if you want IOOT, then you have to have Neale, Brett and Wally back on the road. You have to choose.

Okay, then can we also get "Got A Hold On Me" in the set?

You can have Sardonic World on the FM stage. You've never heard that live. So, that's your treat.

This got me curious as to when the last time Christine toured the way FM has been touring recently...Going back through the tour schedules the last time she played 60+ shows was...Any guesses??? The Tusk tour...So to say she's been doing this for decades is an understatement...Stevie and Lindsey have both made it clear 60 to 80 2-1/2 hour shows is a lot of hard work... Your either in for 60 + shows or your not...

Well, I can't believe she would ever take it on if she wasn't going to follow through.

With The Dance, they weren't contracted for more than 30. It was only after the tickets flew out the window like doves that they had the opportunity to expand the tour and she declined. It's not like she changed her mind on them or anything. She did what she promised.

If we're going there lets see if the "Men Of Mac" can still rock...Let's put "Fall From Grace" or "Ghosts Are Gone" in the set...I would like to see what LB would do with them...

"Behind The Mask" tour.

She did it pretty consistently from 1967 through 1990.

Not really. The shows are more of a formality in the grand scheme of touring. Getting up on stage is really the reward. If anything, the interviews and all of that crap is a lot harder than performing. Given the scale of their tours, even the hard parts of touring really do not effect them much. They're not traveling in vans and loading their gear in and out. So, yes, there is work, but it's not the hardest job in the world by far.
