We can always hope. I mean, we did get lucky with the Unleashed tour having dates for England (Yay for Manchester!) so you never know. I'm willing to bankrupt myself of the very little I have by way of money to see her if she gets over the giant puddle lol.

I don't think FM touring the UK for Unleashed was too much of a surprise, I don't think they've ever done a world tour and not visited the UK (since Rumours). I do wonder why Stevie hasn't toured the UK solo since 1989, I'm sure if there was even a little more marketing of her in the UK they could drum up some pretty good ticket (and album) sales. Not that it matters much to me anymore now that I live in Australia. Now what would REALLY piss me off if she now toured the UK but didn't come to Australia! If she were to tour Oz next year I would hope to go to at least 2, maybe 3, but doubt I would travel all over the place to see her, not since there's such little variation from one show to the next, apart from rather insignificant (and probbaly completely unintentional) note changes. I know Stevie likes us to believe that she re-lives 'the magic' every time she performs the same songs night after night but I find this hard to believe. Hope I don't sound too negative, perhaps I'm just bitter because I've never seen a solo Stevie show!

Well it was a surprise for me lol. I'm still squeeling after reading Mick's biography and finding out that the original lineup performed at my college campus. Trust me to be the last one to arrive at that party lol.

You don't sound too negative at all. Just sound very practical with a hint of pessimism, as is the British way hehe. I would be miffed too if I was constantly served the same performance. But then again, I'd probably still go and be just as excited because the first few times it no doubt wouldn't have kicked in that I was in reality in the same space as Stevie Nicks. I havn't seen her perform outside Fleetwood Mac and I would sorely love to see her. I would say that I very much doubt I will (because I do) but I thought the same of R.E.M. and Fleetwood Mac and had life changing experiences at both.

Stevie's Gold Dust tour in Oz, though it was a good few years ago, leads me to think that she's not averse to the idea of international shows when the time is right. The Mac got a hell of a good reception this side of the pond, with some saying the Dublin shows were the best of the whole leg (I'm just saying ).
I'm reasonably confident that some UK, European and Irish dates are on the cards for the next few summers.
