That would've been interesting to see what their take on this song would've been. It's one of my favorites, and if it lost the chug that it has now, I think I would be too upset.

1974 - 1982 - with Fleetwood Mac
1982 - 1989 - solo
1989 - 1996 - I haven't heard anything from this era, so idk.
1997 - with the Mac
1997 - present - with the Mac, I guess

I've heard OSOTM (Alice happens to be a song I love), and the two new songs on Timespace, but I haven't heard anything from Street Angel besides Blue Denim. I have Behind the Mask, but haven't listened to it, and I've never heard anything from Time (except I Wonder Why - I also like that song). I should've specified!

I like Stevie how she is today, right now. But I'm open to this next Mac project. Touring first before recording and using an additional producer, I believe will help them achieve a more uniform or band sound. If only Christine would do some more music with them, I'd be toally psyched about the next record. Just gotta wait and see.

She's more comfortable, animated, wears all the crazy outfits, etc when she's solo, and she throws on the Italian Widow Granny Dress in Fleetwood Mac. She's just become far too robotic and conservative within the realms of Fleetwood Mac's concert performances these days too.

Agree with every word louie said.

Sometimes I feel like she can be more herself when she is by herself (go figure,) but it's true. She doesn't really have anyone saying "you can't do that, bla bla bla". Bottom line though is that I love my Stevie any way I can get her. Whether that be solo, or with the Mac.

Ditto!! Well said!
