But they might want to consider Liam. He's a very talented piano player, he looks like a young Lindsey Buckingham and probably can duplicate both Stevie and Christines piano playing.

They've "worked" Rumours more than any of their subsequent albums since 1977, that they did it again in 2003 comes as a surprise?

And, that is, IMHO, what has damaged their reputation as much as having two of the main songwriters attempting simultaneous solo careers. Hence my feeling that Fleetwood Mac just should've called it a day on September 2, 1980 (the day after the Tusk tour ended).

No, no surprise just disappointment.

I tend to disagree. I think SYW had many non-rumours moments on it. From nicksfix.com:

Fleetwood Mac 2003-2004

130 shows from May 7, 2003 to September 14, 2004

The Chain
Dreams Peacekeeper
Eyes of the World
Say You Will
Never Going Back Again
Rhiannon
Gypsy
Come
Running Through the Garden
Big Love
Landslide
Say Goodbye
What's the World Coming To
Destiny Rules
Beautiful Child
Gold Dust Woman
I'm So Afraid
Silver Springs (arguable)
Tusk
Stand Back
Go Your Own Way
World Turning
Don't Stop
Goodbye Baby

*Later shows added Second Hand News and dropped Destiny Rules and Running through the Garden The set list may vary a little through the tour.

So - they played other stuff too and 7/24 from Rumours, though SS was dropped toward the end of the third leg.

Again, I would like to see them haul out otehr hits. But, such is life.

I think by the time I saw them in London they'd dropped Destiny Rules and Running Through the Garden so I made it 8 from Rumours and 6 from SYW

You'll still have to attend their next London show. Just in case.

Well I would if I thought there'd be a new set list or someone could guarantee that Ms McVie would be there. I'd get myself to Wembley or Twickingham

or as we Brits prefer to call it Twickenham.

I just can't see myself coughing up £100 ($200) for a ticket without one or preferably both of the above.

The thing is, the rumours will swirl about Christine like they did last time, so I bet you'll feel obliged to go, because if you didn't and she showed up, then you'd regret it forever! Of course, if you spend $200 and she doesn't show up, you'll regret that forever too

Here's an idea: a triple CD!

1 = Lindsey
2 = Stevie
3 = Fleetwood Mac

Never work...it's too great of an idea with too much compromise.

I got caught out last time like that. Next time I want an official announcement from the band or Christine's management

I enjoy Silver Girl...and from what I remember of it from Destiny Rules, the demo was much better than the finished product. He took out the flute, the vocals were different. I personally think he ruined Silver Girl, Say You Will, and Smile At You.

I definitely agree on "Smile At You." It was gutted of all anger!

Chrislit18 · #**120** 07-15-2008, 09:35 AM

Oddly enough I like both versions of SAY...

I really don't think LB ruined any song on SYW...I mean if Stevie didn't like the song after he did his magic with it, why would she allow it to be released...especially with HER name on it??

Silver Girl isn't THAT horrible....I think Illume is her worst song on SYW, and then the title track. SG isn't just Thrown Down or RTTG status.

Thats JMO
