Wow, I didn't realize she performed it that many times. How did I not know that?

It does seem kind of odd, since it's such a "band" song... but Lindsey was actually the first member to perform it solo, in 1992.

(I always thought it ironic that, after he had blasted Christine and Stevie in 1984 for performing so many Fleetwood Mac songs in their solo sets and saying that their shows "bordered on being lounge acts" because of it, he'd then turn around and devote half of his setlist to Mac songs. He has a mercurial personality, that one!)

LB can do no wrong - you know that - then again, he hadn't had a solo hit in years, so I guess he had to play something to sell out by half those gym halls

His most recent setlist was 60% Mac. Maybe Mick should call him and tell him to stop playing solo stuff at his concerts.

Stevie did, after all, write the lyrics (or most of them anyway) to The Chain.
I think it's good that different lineups of Fleetwood Mac recognize the history of the band and that it has had many different lineups. I personally think that Lindsey did Oh Well a lot of justice and the "Time" lot did a grand job on The Chain:

However, I agree that Bekka singing GDW was just plain WRONG! Bekka pisses me off though. Have you seen her up there with her tambo and fake growl like some bad Stevie tribute? Bekka-"wishes she was stevie nicks"-Bramlett needs a good slappin' IMO.

To be fair, BB is a talent in her own right and deserves kudos for that. Also, I really like the GDW I heard her sing. Also, and Chili will back me up on this, that band was pretty good if not great.

Rick Vito really rocks out on it. It was a nice little surprise in the set. Back then, there really wasn't an internet where we knew the set list the night of the show.
