If it was only the BTM Tour, then it's not true that newcomers always played their external music on every tour.

BTM tour.

I’m still upset that they didn’t do “It Ain’t Over” on the TITN tour. Mick and Christine played on it and it would have been a great message for that tour. Billy singing a Buckingham Nicks song was weird, although it fit his style perfectly.

I was upset they didn't play Shaggy's "It Wasn't Me" at The Garden in 2019!

Oh c’mon they’re a new band, it’s going to be great! Father Mick said so!

Picture it…Fleetwood Mac 2024…the band plays the opening bars of “What’s love got to do with it” as Stevie makes her grand entrance in her signature Reebok platforms and a pencil skirt.

You obviously weren’t around for the ‘94-‘95 tours.

There’s more than enough on youtube.

I did witness the “we still have a sliver of dignity” tour in ‘97.

Do you think Behind The Mask songs weren't played in 2018 because people just would not have known them?

All Over Again was played because Stevie heard it on The Sirius Fleetwood Mac Channel. I gather she liked it because she had no regret about firing Lindsey and that she would do it over again.

I think that’s a time in Stevie’s life she’d rather not revisit. As you know, I thought “Freedom” should have been played. Mike co-wrote it and it’s subject matter was relevant.

BTM and Time are completely irrelevant to the masses and younger folks who were buying tickets between 2003-2018. Probably farther off the radar than the pre ‘75 catalog which already had a strong following amongst music fans and guitar players.

I’d challenge anyone to walk up to anyone under 45 at a show and ask them about Time or BTM without getting a blank stare.

You mean the “our careers are in the crapper so we’re pretending to like each other” tour.

Yeah that would be the one. It was still better than Mick’s All Star Band!

Definitely.
