christine was the backer for the dance tour,
when WB wanted to tap into the back catalog money
she refused and that is why she hasn't toured with FM...
Christine also wanted to do Oprah,
but WB didn't think that FM would be good on her show,
so they pushed Stevie to Call christine and talk her out of Oprah,
that is why we only see Lin & Stevie on the late night shows doing Landslide...
christine is the richest of them all...

Fascinating. But I'm confused about the top part. What is back catalog money? And how was Christine the "backer"? Why hasn't she toured with FM?

Also the Oprah thing is interesting because it shows us how much power WB wields. Horrible. And, as Destiny Rules shows, how easily the band is set against each other by WB.

How could Christine be the richest of them all? That doesn't make any sense. Lindsey makes a mint from production and songwriting and has a bunch solo projects. Stevie makes has made a mint from her solo and fleetwood mac stuff. Stevie made 7 million off one song—Landslide. Christine is 3rd richest. She's not as rich as them.

I could see that this was probably the case in 1996 (before The Dance) But since The Dance and into the new millennium until now, Stevie has got to be richer than any of the 5 of them. Sure she has huge overhead and staff still, but she has made some serious touring and publishing royalties over the last 13 years. Stevie is set. But really, who gives a hoot, all of them are financially solvent, we really should worry more about ourselves.

And as far as all this Oprah stuff goes, It sort of makes sense. The time that FM should have or could have been on The Oprah Show was right after The Dance. And if they rejected her, Oprah probably has no interest in interviewing Stevie at all because of that incident. I heard Oprah say on a recent show, something to the effect that If someone didn't want her (meaning want to come on her show), then her attitude was she did not want them back conversley in the grand scheme of things... or something like that.

I want to say out of everyone in FM I believe and probably right that Stevie Nicks has the most money out of anyone in the group between her successful solo carreer and being in FM. She can perform the same venues as she does with FM to sold out crowds she definetly makes the most money out of all them. I think she is smart with her money too.

WHAT?? "A mint"? Do you REALLY think that Lindsey MAKES money off of his solo projects?

Hell, no. Why do you think he keeps coming back to Fleetwood Mac? So, he can make up for his solo projects' losses, that's why. Sure, the whole band makes enough to live extravagantly according to our standards, but I seriously doubt they're going to be challenging Bill Gates or Warren Buffett's territory. And Lindsey & Stevie make a bunch more than Mick or John due to songwriting royalties (but, don't Mick & John have a small percentage in the publishing of L&S's songs that are used for FMac? I think they do. Hence, the whole "Silver Springs" debacle in the early 90's)

Even Stevie's solo career is probably floating at just a fraction over "break even" at this point.

Well, now that she doesn't put half of it up her nose anymore.

Well, she can't play the same venues that FM plays.

I would add that in some markets she can, but overall, No, not anymore.

Other than the casinos, what are the same venues she has been playing lately -- discounting the Two Voices tour?

I've seen Lindsey on two different solo tours both in very small town's. Both were very small theater type venues. One in Hanford Calif. & one in Modesto Calif.

I dont ever see Stevie diong these little town theaters, point being I would think its easy for Stevie to pull in the bucks solo as to where Lindsey needs to play small town venues to bring in some cash???

Boy, I do wish she would, though. Seeing Stevie in a small house - like Denver's Bluebird Theatre - with less than 300 people would be a dream come true.

No ****!! When I saw Lindsey in the Hanford Theater I was able to hang out at the front of the stage with no problem!! I don't think the crowd knew he was going to let them strum his guitar during GYOW like I did tho!! But still such a different show at these samll venues!!

Locally she has played Jones Beach and the (insert corporate sponsor name here) Waterfront Center in Camden, PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ, etc. in the years following FM's stops at these sheds. Fleetwood Mac generally plays in places with between 8,000 - 20,000 capacity. Stevie generally plays in places with between 3,000 and 15,000 capacity. So although there isn't 100% overlap, there is a broad range in the 8,000 - 15,000 seat range where FM and Stevie share common ground.

Oh, heck with the Bluebird, how about the WALNUT ROOM?

(at least they have a better house sound engineer)
