Were these pre-Buckingham Nicks songs performed?

He may have SAID that, but he MEANT "I don't like performing Fleetwood Mac songs I had nothing to do with during the creation process."

How he SHOULD have felt: "I'm so happy I'm not starving and that I'm making money in a band with a history that I should just shut the hell up about playing the songs that made them famous to this point and do my best to make the songs sound as good as I can...and if Mick & John want to keep playing those songs, they're the bosses and I'll keep doing them and liking it...plus, if they even said 'play "Free Bird", I'd be more than glad to play it, too!".

Don't get me started on how much of a narcissistic a-hole with the spoiled rich-kid sense of entitlement I think Lindsey was back then...oh, wait, he really hasn't changed all that much.

That version on The Chain box is the same version that is on Mystery To Me. Weston's lead guitar work on both of the albums he was on was just spectacular. He is a FINE guitarist and is definitely one of those who is severely underrated, if not completely unknown outside of Fleetwood Mac circles.
