Fleetwood Mac did not exist without Stevie so its hard for her to remember those years. Many years later Mick realized that Fleetwood Mac cannot exist without Stevie.

She’s so upset about her departed best friend Christine. So upset she decides to dedicate her last song to her complete with photos of the two of them. Then she also brings her other friend on stage during the same song. This is beyond bizarre even for her. Why not do something else with Sheryl? Nutjob.

And then Christine wouldn't have been able to return.

Stevie just needs to retire now. She sounds like sh*t now, trying to hide behind her backup singers and tracks. "Hey Stevie, we can still hear your droning warble!"

Homer, if you believe your statement that, "She really is coo coo for Coco Puffs" and likewise hmm3, if you believe that your statement that, "She is totally insane", is true then you're, both, only reinforcing your belief that she is mentally unstable and are punishing and abusing her for her disability.

The Eagles just announced their swansong farewell tour. Its called the "Long Goodbye Tour." It starts in September 2023 and continues all through 2024 into 2025.
I think my prediction will come true. Irving will talk Stevie into a farewell summer tour next year.
Its sad our band Fleetwood Mac never had the honor of a farewell tour. But you know who ruined that scenario. The band was already on its last legs with health and voices. Yet someone could not tour one last time with the guitarist because of ego.

Steely Dan is opening for the Eagles. What a show! How appropriate too. The Steely knives referred to in Hotel California was a stab at him. His girlfriend at the time was a huge Eagles fan and he could not stand it. The Eagles knew this and they were friends with him but thought the line was funny. No matter how he tried to stab the Eagles he could not kill the beast.

That is the concert of the year. The Eagles goodbye will sell out but Steely Dan too? Incredible.

Yep. Of course, he could have STFU about the Classic fests, played a couple of Peter Green songs, and delayed his solo album (which, ironically, got delayed three years, anyway). Maybe don’t pick the final stretch to be an a$$hole. Maybe appreciate you got one more Fleetwood Mac album (sort of) and be completely political. Nope. Not Lindsey. He had to be such a colossal a$$hole that Irving Azoff responded to him in the press and gloriously let the world know that of all the colossal a$$holes he’s dealt with -which includes The Eagles, Steeley Dan, the Doobies, etc.- Lindsey Buckingham was the colossal-iest a$$hole he’s ever dealt with and it brought him nothing but sheer utter joy that the last Fleetwood Mac tour was the most profitable Fleetwood Mac tour ever.

But, sure, yeah, it was all Stevie.

I'd go see this tour only if Bernie and Randy (if his health permitted) were on it. I've seen Vince and Deacon with them and I've seen Glenn with them.
I bet it'll be the same setlist that's on their recent Live at The Forum album.
After their History of the Eagles Tour, I think the shows got blah. They sound beautiful but the setlists are way predictable.

There's the three year rule in Fleetwood Mac. Last FM show was end of November 2019. Also that show was majorly marketed as THE FINAL CONCERT (small print was end of the 2018 tour). During the show, Stevie said the audience would be their last audience for a while.

Stevie was planning to tour through at least 2020, she would have done the oldies set at festivals and amphitheaters. I think she may have made an album considering her comment to Ellen with Sheryl Crow about making albums because you love to. And she probably would have toured that 2021 or 2022.

I'm sure you know Crowded House was touring 2020 and on for their Dreamers Are Waiting album. And The Knobs too.

Hard disagree. Mick and Mike talked about Fleetwood Mac still doing festivals and a small run of shows here and there. Fleetwood Mac as a touring entity was over, though.

Lindsey said the same thing after the Hollywood Bowl show at the end of the Tusk tour.

Which would have meant Fleetwood Mac could’ve done a 2022 run of festivals and a small run of shows in select markets. Christine was still alive and not entirely opposed.

Easily postponed.

Are you being facetious? Steely Dan is not a person's name. Dan Fagan &Walter Becker are Steely Dan just like Vincent Furnier is Alice Cooper.

But the subject here was a farewell tour for FM like Eagles Long Goodybye - that tour is not a small run of shows. If Stevie was touring ia solo album in 2021 and 2022 like she did for In Your Dreams, would she take the time out to rehearse for a small run of FM shows? I guess she would if it was the same setlist as the 2018-2019 shows. Though when she rehearsed for Classic, it was after she finished her tour with Pretenders.

Right, so exactly what I was saying. It would be two years until you saw Mac again. And Stevie's three year rule started after the SYW Tour. So 2019 to 2022 is three years.

It is in fact a reference to Steely Dan, but not even close to that reason.

“One of the things that impressed us about Steely Dan was that they would say anything in their songs, and it didn’t have to necessarily make sense,” [Frey] said. “They called it ‘joke sculpture.’ When we thought of this song ‘Hotel California,’ we started thinking that it would be very cinematic to do it like sort of The Twilight Zone – you just have one line that says there’s a guy on the highway, the next line says there’s a hotel in the distance, then there’s a women there, then he walks in. It’s just like all one-shots just strung together, and you sort of draw your own conclusions from it.”

Frey recalled that he and Henley "were sort of trying to expand our lyrical horizons and just take on something in the realm of the bizarre, as Steely Dan had done.”

That’s one of the reasons they mention the group in the lyrics; another was because the Steely Dan song “Everything You Did,” which was released earlier in 1976, included the line “Turn up the Eagles, the neighbors are listening.”
