How about all those extra layers of vocals in most of the songs? Are those all the backing singers, or are some of those pre-recorded?

On another thread, someone commented that it didn't even look like Lindsey is actually playing guitar, because one could hear guitar notes when his hands were obviously not touching the strings. (I think this was during a piece of "I'm So Afraid.")

I realize the days of seeing just the five of them on stage, no extra musicians, no "embellishments," are long in the past, but I want to at least know where the extra sounds are coming from.

The pre recorded / programed tracks are all part of Mick's ever evolving plan...Sometime in the not to distant future ( technology willing ) he will replace the entire band with hologram's so he can continue to collect touring revenue from the retirement home...As an added bonus Mick with a single mouse click will be able to replace any band member with another from any given era...Example...With one click during "Gold Dust Woman" Mick will be able to replace Lindsey with Peter Green...The show will be billed as "Mick's Fleetwood Mac Experience"
