When It Comes To Love

I’m curious- why did you include this song by Billy?

It’s a Billy-Christine duet.

Good call. I was focused on 1988-95, but it would be nice to have that, too.

Wow, I guess I never thought her vocals were that prominent to call it a duet, at least not like Do You Know. But in that case, I would also include In the Back of My Mind, where Christine is also featured quite a bit.

It's been a long time since I heard this song and I didn't remember it as a duet. I just listened today and yes, IMHO it should be considered a duet.

Very true but ain't gonna happen. This is a Fleetwood Mac fan board and 75% of this board hates BTM and ranks it as one of the worst albums ever. So just imagine what everyone else thinks.
I really dig BTM. How anyone can listen to Mick, John, and Chris jam with a little Billy and not like it fascinates me. There is so much great playing on the album. It missed all the slick synth pop wrapping that some seem to enjoy on Tango.
The masses even forget about this line up and the album.
I had bought the cassette in 1990. A few months ago I bought a used CD of BTM on Ebay and listened to it "back to front" for over a week. I LOVE IT.

I did and still love BTM. If they can do box sets/ remastered releases from the lineups from 1967-1974 there is no reason they shouldn’t do a BTM release.

ITBOMM only featured Christine on backing vocals.

WICTL was an actual duet. They sing together throughout, Billy sings “I need to know, what you feel” and Christine answes “I’ve got show, it’s for real”. Listen to it again.

SYLM was the opener for the 1987 tour.

Unless that banner they were hiding behind didn’t come until later in the month.

Early June, things started with “Say You Love Me.” Not sure how long “When the Sun Goes Down” was retained, but it was there for several shows at the beginning of June in Northern CA.

I found Vegas online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGhd...bYuTYH5g0sZD6t

But who knows in early shows because we've heard that When The Sun Goes Down was played a few times with Chris on accordion.

Nobody believes me anymore!

No we believe you. It seems Say You Love Me was the opener early on before the tour was postponed. When it resumed it was dropped. The show I saw in November did have Say You Love Me but it was near the end of the set. Chris dropped Save Me and would alternate between both songs for the rest of the tour.
Now this tour does have some really infamous rumours and urban legends. Remember it was all over the Mac boards in the early days of the internet that the Mac opened with Sara in NJ in 1990? No proof of that ever. Another rumor was that Billy sang Rhiannon somewhere on the east coast in 1990. No proof of that either. If you say you saw them perform When The Sun Goes Down, I believe it. I could totally see that. The new guys finally had songs of their own to sing.
Going back to Steve's point. Did the Say You Love Me early dates open with the big masks? If not, is it not ironic than the Behind The Mask Tour did not have masks yet when the Farewell leg was announced they added Behind The Mask props. That's pretty interesting.

Those mid to late July dates are not accurate. Those dates were cancelled and resumed in October and November. When you click on them it shows a setlist and as if the show happened. According to that link, The Chain was the opening number when the tour started and Say You Love Me was not performed. It shows up as the opener in Las Vegas and Red Rocks, CO and then is removed again from the set.
Who knows.
