1984 was the last Dont Stop on a grand piano. Once 1987 rolled along it was all electronic sounding piano. My memory is the grand piano came out of the stage only for HAEWFY.

I believe that's correct. I remember HAEWAFY and Songbird... I think...

I can barely stand terrestrial radio. Once in a while but it's usually so many commercials. I don't bother.

Don’t Stop—it’s one of the first FM songs I remember (along with Rhiannon and SYLM). I have always LOVED the studio version with all of what Mick calls “the cream on the top.” The interplay of voices, the rousing shuffle, the synth playing key notes toward the end…
But it’s never been among my favorite live. I really dug Christine’s piano on it, especially that jazzy addition from the Tusk, Mirage and 1984 tours. But overall, it just never matched the magic of the studio version. By contrast, I love the raucous live performances of Hold Me from the Mirage tour… Last edited by aleuzzi; 06-15-2023 at 07:45 PM.. |

I LOVED the raw Hold Me. I'd give anything if it had always been a staple.

Yes, I really love the way her 1984 band did Hold Me. It was better than Mirage.

Which one did you see? She never realized it, but she was a great band leader. She knew how to arrange better than she ever realized, too.

kings Dominion in Virginia in the summer of 1984. Great show! I agree she was a great band leader. |

Agreed. And those audio files posted on YouTube are proof she was doing really tight, professional shows. I wish she had had the confidence to do more projects on her own. On the other hand, what I love most about her are her humility, modesty, and eagerness to be a team player within the band. She was always focused on doing whatever was needed to serve a song (as opposed to serving herself or her image).

I’m glad I have a couple of her solo live shows on CD for my MAC collection.

I don’t think it was lack of confidence. I think she didn’t see the point in doing something outside of Fleetwood Mac when she was the main hit writer in the band. She wasn’t Stevie, with albums worth of unused songs, and she wasn’t Lindsey, with about a million different ways of killing a cow. So long as Mick and John were there with her, she was in her element.
Even on her 1984 album, John helped in the demo work for “Love Will Show Us How” and offered the inspiration for “The Challenge,” while Mick and Lindsey actually played on the album. Hell, she even brought back John Courage to be her manager. Fleetwood Mac was where her heart was. Given all her hit singles, she hypothetically could have launched a comeback tour outside of Fleetwood Mac in 2013 with the core of her 1984 band plus whoever else. Wasn’t even joked about.
