I agree. Absolutely haunting.

She has backing vocals everywhere on Mirage that are bone chilling.

[SteveMacD]

"Don't Stop" is no less not mystical than, say, any of her "Penguin" songs, the song HAHTF, OMH, SYLM, "Sugar Daddy," "You Make Loving Fun," "Think About Me," "Love Will Show Us How," "Got A Hold On Me," "Everywhere," or even "I Do." Her voice can be deep and haunting when needed, but she's like the Paul McCartney of Fleetwood Mac. For the most part, she's the one who writes the lighter poppier songs. And, for me, that does not equate to mystical.

"Oh Daddy", has the mystic I speak of. So does "Mystified". lol

I would still love for her to record an album of standards. Just her at the piano.

I love her voice on Sentimental Lady. She enhanced the song the same way that Stevie enhanced Midnight Wind.

I guess that's not what I'd consider "mystic," per se. "Mystified" sounds like a '50's jazz number.

The Fleetwood-McVie BluesBand: Mick, John, Christine, and Rick Vito.

They opened with Say You Love Me on the first leg of the Shake The Cage Tour as well. I saw the 3rd and 4th shows and that's what they opened with. I think it's a great opener and we should all say we love her.

But I do think Think About Me would be a great surprising opener or Love In Store or even Hold Me

This maybe just the opportunity that Reprise has been needing in order nudge them into remastering the rest of FM's catalogue. Rumours has been done to death.

For the most part, true. However, that's what makes songs like "Sooner or Later" and "Oh Daddy" special, because they don't fall into the same category as most of her other contributions.

I'd be surprised out of my mind. EMS would have to escort me out of the concert. But what a way to go.

I say the same thing about Hold Me. Um, not Love in Store, but I don't think that has a chance of getting itself in the door anyway.

If they opened up with TAM. I too would have a heart attack.

I think "Behind the Mask" is one of the best post 87 songs by FM period.

Agreed, I love that song.
