I also don't see how it was a money thing. It's not like he had family to support at that point and as far as I know he never had the financial difficulties that Mick had.

You're kidding right? Besides it being pretty obvious around the GOS rollover clips... The guy just about admitted he needed the FM "vehicle" his word, to keep the accountants happy.

I'm well aware that she toured extensively for Crystal Visions. But Crystal Visions is just a compilation and not a true solo album. Again, she's still playing the same old songs.

As for Trouble In Shangri-La being as good or better than her previous work, we'll agree to disagree. Those who know me on these boards know what I think of that particular album.

Oh please...!! it's a VEGAS ACT!! There's no question!!

Lindsey Buckingham, I think he was the most superlative guitar player this band will ever have. A true shining light. After Lindsey, everybody else seems a little palid. I'm not talking talent, just chemistry for Fleetwood Mac.

She also said in 1993 that her biggest regrets in FM were not having had a #1single and Lindsey leaving: "Not that I’m criticizing the guys we got in to replace him-Rick Vito and Billy Burnette. They’re both fine musicians. But I do regret that Lindsey’s gone. There was a creative chemistry there which, when it was right, was absolutely amazing. Our individual approaches to music were so different, but there was this point where they met that was quite magical. To find that quality with other musicians is very difficult. It’s a once in a lifetime thing."

Nobody agrees with me, but I believe LB and CM has a solid relationship until CM left the band. And I believe that his anger after she left was about him wanting her there, and money.

I do, I agree with you, brown.

I wish I liked it.

When La Nicks locked eyes with LB during SG, it gave me chills.

Why do you call Nicks "La Nicks" all the time?

I agree with you that LB and CM had a solid relationship, though I think he perhaps lived a little in fear of her

I disagree though that her departure after the 40 Dance dates caused an long lasting riff. I do not think that LB and CM ever really had any kind of relationship outside of FM - like say, going to the mall or lunch and hanging out. But, who knows, maybe they did things like that. So, once the inital shock and perhaps bitterness of her decision faded, they just went into nothing. But, others have theories about the band being bitter about CM during SYW. I never really took any of LB's comments as snipy. I think most of them were him trying to describe the new dynamic of the band, which inherently had to acknowledge her departure. But, others saw them as that, so maybe they were.

Interestingly, I do not think I can recall that La Nicks ever slammed Chris. She has pretty much always spoke lovingly of her, like a kid sister.

The music is actually comparatively mediocre to my ears. However, the emotion just works for me.

Force of habit. We used to do that when I was a kid. Remember, I was reared in the fairly French environment of Southwest Louisiana. I mean no disrespect by it though.

The emotion work but the music be mediocre? What you mean by "music"? You mean songs? You mean playing? You mean what, Le Strand?

I know -- it's just a trendy thing.

Would you call me Le Dave? I like the sound of that!

In 1982, Stevie say to one rag that Christie not play organ well, that she play like baby with fat fingers on keys.

Chrstie get quite mad & throw drink in Stevie's face ... CRRRrrrrraaaaack! (No just kidding about that last part)

I think the addition of the extra five+ musicians and vocals watered the music down. It was, however, a little better seeing it live in Atlanta. I missed the wilder and rawer edge that the Mirage and before eras represented. Plus, it appeared to me that the songs were slowed down and keys were lowered. So, there was that. But, like pizza, even when FM is bad, they are still pretty good

As for the emotion, other than LB's Big Love and, perhaps, ISA, I found the music mostly rote and emotionless when compared to earlier shows. But, the sparks a flyin between LB and La Nicks more than compensated to me.

perhaps - though I could see you, in the right light, as La Belle Fleur; it would require mirabu though

Actually, I believe the exact quote was La Nicks placed grains of corn of the keys and CM pecked away with her large beak
