The Mac are touring and I think that is in stone just no dates yet. I really hope that they play my hometown of Providence, RI since they skipped it for the last 2 tours legs.

I always figured it was because Providence is so close to Mansfield and they would rather play there for some reason (cheaper to rent out? who knows..)

If that band could crank out a new record by next spring, I would find a way to concieve a child and give birth to it MYSELF.

Some have told me I look like I could give birth......

You know, I don't know about you guys but I'm beginning to form a
theory that Fleetwood Mac likes touring.....

burnt. Only hear/see 'em now when I am burning DVD's or recording TV appearrances nowadays (Havent played any FM related music at all as of late.)

Just needed a break, so I have taken it.

Christmas of this year will officially mark twenty years since I became a die-hard fan (after years of hearing Stevie's and FM's songs on the radio and loving them, getting 'Rock A Little' for Christmas in 1985 really sparked my fandom), and I still haven't burned out on them. Not even close.

Wow. I think you're probably one of very few people who wishes that Fleetwood Mac and its members would somehow be less prolific and productive.

The last time they put out an album was spring 2003. How could releasing an album or touring next year even remotely be seen as overkill? If anything, they're about due for something, whether it's a Mac album or solo projects from Lindsey and/or Stevie.

Especially after they made such a stink about bands like the Eagles touring incessantly with no new material to back it up.

I mean really, unless they were debuting a bunch of new material, what would even be the point of a Fleetwood Mac tour next year? It's not like they mix up their setlists at all (or even their arrangements). Besides the folks here who would pay to hear Stevie blow her nose into a microphone, who's going to pay for the same show they saw two years ago?

If it was good enough for The Eagles last March and Springsteen this Oct then it is good for The Mac, too.

Although Springsteen's show, I'm sure, will be only a half-arena set-up.

14.500 seats. The Eagles sold out here last March but I doubt Fleetwood Mac will.

Fleetwood Mac IS touring next spring and summer without a new album. I cannot see LB touring solo when he is touring with FM. I think he has pretty much said in interviews he would rather stick with FM and not do anything solo, as long as Stevie would agree to more Mac. He will make a bajillion dollars touring with Fleetwood Mac and lose money while saturating the market by touring alone. It is not too hard to figure out which option he will choose. (has chosen)

I do not remember him saying this - last I heard he had done a bunch of writing on the road and had been recording that

I do, however, readily admit he is more marketable as FM - sadly FM is not that marketable in terms of CD sales (new material)

As for being burned out. I think this will be the last go around for FM if it indeed happens, which has yet to be seen. I say this based on their ages and the fact that any new record and subsequent tour would not happen until LB and La Nicks were 60 and John and Mick older than that. But, who knows, they may do it. I do think, however, La Nicks could release another solo record before then if she is so inclined.

In the end, I do not blame them if they want to retire though it saddens me not to hear new music from them.

We have almost always been $*@(Ed by concerts in one way or the other. We were fine until The Worcester Centrum was built in 1982. Then Stevie and the Mac and everyone else would play there in New England and that was it.
Then in 1986 the Great Woods ampitheather was built and there went most of the shows in Eastern New England.

Fleetwood Mac (without LB) did play 3 dates at Great Woods in the early 1990s but they did come back to Providence on the fall leg.
I hope that they don't play the sheds this time. I am sick of losing out to Great Woods or the Tweeter center or whatever it's called now. I heard that The Mac wasn't very pleased with the way that things were run there on that last tour so I kind of hope that they skip it next tour.
