I believe John found out about the diagnosis in Germany, right? We don't really have footage from the next two shows in Herning or Oslo but we do from the next two, the final shows of the European tour. It was quite interesting, seeing what the possible impact of that was on them. They both leapt to making dedications. To each other. It hadn't happened before on the tour, and only happened for the last European shows, and then Vegas.

STOCKHOLM, SAY GOODBYE (10.23.2013)
This is a song that I wrote a few years back, um, maybe ten years ago for the Say You Will album. And, um, I think it's safe to say that it was written at a time when much of the turmoil and underpinnings that fueled our early time in Fleetwood Mac, all of that was behind us as are many of the illusions that we might have held onto. Um, we're coming to the very end of our European tour. This is the second to last show and, um, this is something that Stevie and I do. By ourselves. It's a song I wrote about Stevie and, um -

You know, I've known Stevie since I was about sixteen years old - [audience member calls out] Ha, yeah, last year, he says. Yeah. Thank you for that. And, uh, you know, we've been down a long, long road together and there are times when maybe you just keep taking it for granted and think it's never going to end. But I'm realizing now, you know, that we are getting to a point where you can't really take anything for granted. And I'm just going to dedicate this - as we come to the end of this leg of the tour, the end of this cycle of touring very soon - I'm going to dedicate this song to Stevie. This is called Say Goodbye.

AMSTERDAM, LANDSLIDE (10.26.2013)
But secondly, besides that, I would like to dedicate this song to my band. I'd like to dedicate this song to Fleetwood Mac. And I don't know if Lindsey can hear me -
[Stevie turns to face Lindsey, back to the audience]
Can you hear me? So, okay, so I'm, tonight I'm going to dedicate Landslide to our band. So I want to dedicate it to Fleetwood Mac. And I'm also going to dedicate it to you, Lindsey. *voice cracks* For all the wonderful things you have done for me. For teaching me the little guitar pick that is in Landslide, that I would never have known if it had not been for you. And all the really wonderful music that you have brought into my life. And just for being a wonderful friend all these years. And, um, I just want you to know that, even though we argue, the love is always still there.
