"What's On" Vegas Article/Interview

[bikerchic]

Great interview. Thanks. Wow, could you imagine Stevie sitting on the side of your bed singing "Sara" a cappella. I will forever think of the soldiers now, when I listen to Landslide, Sara and Gypsy

I think he wants to tinker with it. To me, that is stupid because neither one sounds anything like they did when they recorded it.

Also, she has flat out said it is LB in some interview in, I think, the 90's.

Finally, she released one of the songs on her box set - so she is not opposed to it at least that much.

But, who knows.

Optimism that went out the window recently. I agree, I now doubt it will ever happen also.

Really? I don't. I think Stevie's the more sentimental fool of the two and would like this project come to fruition, but Lindsey keeps finding ways to put it off. Some remastering has obviously already taken place, with LDW being on Enchanted. And who wanted it on there? Right.

^^^

Plus, at the Madison show at the start of the last leg of the SYW tour, LB clearly was not charmed about playing DLMDA. I think he is just adverse to that record.

see, but you also have to look at the context of what was happening at the time. in the 90's pre-fleetwood mac reunion and their recording of twister, as far as stevie was concerned, he could take a flying leap and **** himself, so it would seem.

then you have their reunion -- things are going great. the dance is very successful -- they're appealing to a worldwide audience and gaining new fans. they ride the train all the way into the rock and roll hall of fame and the grammy awards. they are enjoying being together again as a band (though i can't imagine there was drama on the road).

no buckingham nicks.

then we have stevie doing her enchanted collection and touring for a short period of time followed by random shows now and again and then trouble in shangri la -- stevie and lindsey are speaking to one another but.

no buckingham nicks.

nothing much is going on with everyone else -- they're in limbo. lindsey works on gift of screws for the billionth year and then suddenly the queen calls and his songs for a solo album morph into say you will. the album isn't commercially successful but does alright. however, they tour with the album for quite a while. people are calling it a buckingham/nicks reunion. stevie then goes into the gold dust tour.

no buckingham nicks.

rumors and speculation of a final fleetwood mac tour are discussed on this board -- but stevie is in australia and doing her thing with petty as well. fast forward to fall of last year -- lindsey finally releases an album of his own and tours. i'd imagine when it was decided that fleetwood mac would not be reuniting at this time, it was decided lindsey could add more legs to his tour. stevie is set to release yet another compilation. she will tour again -- with another artist -- without new material. it would seem fleetwood mac is shelved for who knows how long.

no buckingham nicks.

from a sales/marketing/publicity standpoint, in order to make selling the album lucrative to both stevie and lindsey as well as the record label that decides to reissue it on cd, the release would have to come at the tail end of a fleetwood mac tour -- and quite frankly, the best time to have re-released it would have been after say you will, imo. i feel like stevie holds the keys to the reissue -- and i don't think she intends to use them anytime in the near future.

fans have met him on this tour and asked him about buckingham nicks. if memory serves, he said he'd love to do it.

so who's the liar??

[strandinthewind]

But, I believe she said after The Dance that Mr. Buckingham was responsible for not releasing BN - I am too lazy to look up the interview.

[Johnny Stew]

Lindsey himself has said that, "Stevie calls me up from time to time about it [Buckingham Nicks], but it's never felt like the right time."

[skcin]

Didn't I recently read an interview with LB where he says that as far as BN goes, the ball's in Stevie's court, or something to that effect? Am I insane? Someone? Anyone?

nope, you're not insane. he did. if i wasn't pretending to work on a paper right now, i'd look on the lindsey board for it

[skcin]

^ Well, I'm just pretending to work right now, so I had time to look for it. From the Guitar World Acoustic 10/06 interview:

GWA Speaking of Buckingham Nicks, will it ever be reissued? At this point, it's got to be one of the most famous albums to have never been released on CD.

BUCKINGHAM I know, isn't it ridiculous? Stevie and I own the 24-track masters, and one of Stevie's managers has them at her house. I actually didn't know where they were for a while; that's one of those little power plays that goes on. It's become almost an extension of Fleetwood Mac politics, convoluted as they are. Everyone agrees that the record needs to come out, but everyone also agrees that it needs to come out at a time when there can be some kind of event to promote it, and no one knows what that is. Do Stevie and I go out and do dates as a duo? What are we talking about here? So it's in the ether. But the thing is, we'd better hurry up, because pretty soon it's going to be a little late.

yep. that's what i thought she can hold it over his head for whatever reason she sees fit at the time.

[Johnny Stew]

Well, I'm guessing that would be why Stevie calls him up from time to time about it!

Just because she has it, doesn't mean she's hoarding it.

[danax6]

So, basically they're both saying the ball is in each other's court. I do think it's all still a matter of, like Lindsey said, being available to do it at the same time and I think they tried to work out something at the end of last year but when Lindsey realized, hey, the album is well received, the tour is well received, I'm getting a green light from the record company, I can keep doing this for a while... he shelved the BN thing again. It's a matter of priorities and both have other priorities right now. But I do think that had it been up to Stevie, this thing had been released eons ago. Heck, she starting talking about back during RAL days already.

and it doesn't mean she isn't, either i don't think i'm reading into the whole "power play" bit either.
