I see a new album opening in the Top 10, probably staying there for a couple of weeks and then dropping off quickly. A big radio hit is a long-shot. SN and LB have written radio-worthy tunes in the last decade, but the band is just too old for that. Radio plays the new hits by young artists and the classic hits by the older ones.

The thing is, Fleetwood Mac is one of those iconic bands that everybody knows and a lot of people like or love because of a deep catalog of well-known songs. But I don't think the average concert-goer really knows who is in the band, besides maybe Stevie. The Eagles, arguably the only band bigger than FM in the 70s, are the same way. Most people wouldn't be able to tell you their convoluted personnel history; they just know that they will hear a bunch of big hits if they go to their show. That's why I don't think Christine's return can really transform the Mac much from what they are now. Sure we will all love to see her, but I just don't see that the attendance and ticket prices can go much higher.
BUT they will sure advertise HER return and you can bet that some will go just because CP is back in the Band!!!

FWIW, I went to see Journey this past summer with their really good karaoke singer, BUT it was NOT the same without SP, it just wasn't!! Would any of us go see FM without Stevie? I know that I wouldnt!!

BTW, Phil Collins is thinking about a summer 2014 Tour. Would you go to see him solo without Genesis??
