Lindsey on possible 2027 plans

You meant singles, didn't you? Cause albums contains the same songs in every country.

Except for compilations, it's not unusual for those to vary; I've seen some cases.

Thank you yes! Christine and Lindsey have more FM lead vocal hits than Stevie does in The U.K.

Mick, John, and Christine also helped produce Stevie’s songs.

Yeah- Stevies tours over the years will have raked in as much money as FM. But any 2027 tour would beat out anything that has gone before. One last tour…60 years of FM. 50 years of Rumours. etc. The demand would be huge. And the split would not include Chris or John. And let’s be honest, it likely wouldn’t be an equal S/L/M split. So she’d get a huge payday.

That said, people getting ahead of themselves. Lots of assumptions about a tour. Don’t jump the gun. We’ll get the documentary. And I can see a one off show (with special guests?). Maybe that’ll be it. Maybe another EP release. But maybe not the big tour being speculated. 2027 might be the disappointment 2017 also was.

I'd guess the split would be
SN 50%
LB 30%
MF 20%

Stevie has NOT given the Mac the most of their chart hits.

It was a joke
I am a failed insult comic that has been reduced to playing for an old message board with 23 views per day.

Actually lots of assumptions about everything. We're living up to the title Rumours. Well, we are talking about Fleetwood Mac after all.

Lindsey has only hinted at a few things and said he talks to Stevie. He lit the fuse, and we're just following it to find the dynamite, if there is any. But you know, for me that's the best part of all this. There's been an increase in activity at The Ledge.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this documentary getting more announcement compared to others they've made in the past? I think it's part of a 50th-anniversary package. And I hope the rest of the package lives up to expectations, is high-quality, and doesn't feel contrived.

While I respect Lindsey as a musician and producer and do think he got a raw deal in 2018, he and Stevie are both self-involved enough not to register that there is any issue with Chris not being there. They'll project photos of Chris during Landslide and feel like saints for their tribute to her. Mick will find a way to get over it, by thinking about the cash.

I would guess it's more likely to have something like a residency at the Sphere -- it's enough of an "event" to make it more upmarket (i.e. $$$$$$) than a regular Vegas residency and has a bit more prestige. It's also less wear and tear than touring, probably nets more income, they will get private jet transport to LA in between shows as part of the deal, and it doesn't cut into Stevie's regular touring markets.

As for the why -- Mick wants to play and wants to make money. Lindsey would see this as redemption after being fired in 2018 and also has no other way to get before big crowds.

As for Stevie? It's a way to tour and make money without risking oversaturation of the touring market -- ticket sales for tours are falling generally because of the economy, but an FM reunion after 2018 and on the 50th anniversary of Rumours will sell, and it will bring out people who have seen Stevie recently and might not be keen to see her solo again so soon given ticket prices. And she can feel magnanimous -- she really did not want to own firing Lindsey, and it really bothered her when people saw that she was the person who ordered it. That is why the band told those ridiculous stories about him not committing and his solo dates being a problem, and it's also why Stevie's proteges took to attacking Lindsey on social media (first time anyone has cared about Vanessa Carlton in 15+ years). Maybe her onstage chatter will talk about how both of them were wrong and both of them behaved badly, so she can get Lindsey to take some of the blame.

They are nuts. Yet I don't know if I would totally refuse to go to a show if it were to happen.

I agree with what you wrote. I think they will also promote Buckingham Nicks performed live as well as the 50th anniversary of Rumours. The show will be in demand.
Imagine Frozen Love, Don't Let Me Down Again, and I Don't Want To Know all in the same concert. Its a promoters dream.

They could just bill themselves as Buckingham Nicks and make Mick an equal partner. Even if it said Buckingham Nicks, the billboards with those three would be unmistakable.

This would satisfy a need for no one but Mick.

Lindsey wants to rectify the firing by playing under the name Fleetwood Mac. He'd make money he otherwise couldn't make touring with just Stevie and Mick, but a lack of money is not what's eating at him.

Stevie conversely would lose money (and autonomy), and is not desperate to "make things right" with Lindsey in any musical or professional sense. Nor is she looking to do something different for a change of pace.

[DownOnRodeo]

If it's Buckingham Nicks, they should be doing a residency in Alabama!
Perhaps a promoter can inflate a hot air balloon over a baseball stadium and call it The Sphere.

[DownOnRodeo]

Ugh, the more I think about any concert or residency or tour, the worse it sounds. Just think about decisions on song order! This is the pair that completely imploded over track order on Say You Will (and many prior albums as well, I'm sure). This is the pair that went into meltdown over what music (or absence of music) to walk out to at their band's own MusiCares extravaganza!

Sphere Residency Planning Meeting
Lindsey: "So for the entrance, I was thinking what would Jim Jarmusch do? And then I realized it would be really appropriate and cyclical if I entered the stage on my Ocean Spray horse while playing Introduction to Don't Look Down on a handcrafted 16th century Hungarian lute..."
Stevie (through the phone, being held by Karen): "Lindseyyy! There's no time for that!! After the animated Rhiannon short film and my 1 hour free-talk with the audience, there's only time for one more song of mine, remember? Duh?"
