Wally is being quoted that Mick doesn't want any "additional" percussionists on tour. Why does everyone assume this means nobody else but Mick is playing percussion? Read what Wally said again and think about it. Maybe Mick meant he wants nobody additional to somebody he already has? I don't read Wally's quote as being exclusive to everyone. Just him. Don't forget Mick had Steve Rinkov and Taku on the SYW tour. I believe Rinkov was per Mick. Taku was per Lindsey. Maybe Rinkov is still in the mix? If not, somebody else must be.

It makes sense Mick doesn't want another of Lindsey's guy on this tour. It sounds like typical FM politics as usual. Even if the band needs to cut back on expenses this time, it's a sure bet Lindsey and Stevie still have their own backups signed on, per usual. Has anyone clearly stated Mick doesn't already have his own backup?

I'd give them all huge props if only the 4 of them went out, did an intimate show, touring 2k-5k seat venues. I'd be there giving the loudest applause in the house, even if they hit a few clinkers. They don't have the courage and lack of concern for $$$ to do something like that for us devoted fans. This is a money grab, aimed at the general public, once again. No new music to promote either. No, a stripped down intimate tour this is not. We're talking arenas here, guys. Only Mick on beat?

Fleetwood Mac is touring arenas in 2009 with 6o something year old Mick Fleedwood as the only percussionist?

Who really believes this sounds plausible?

Maybe Lindsey just told Wally that or maybe Wally was saving face by saying that Mick didn't want any extras on the tour....

Spoke with Mick today and he also posed for some pictures for me. Will post all that after I get some much needed rest.

Taku was Lindsey's pick? Somehow I doubt that.

Not too much of a dissapointment. At least we'll get more Lindsey stuff.

You mean Mick was at NAMM this weekend? I thought the Mac had started rehearsing for the tour (started 'gelling', as Stevie's PR release said).

I'm curious, what's Mick doing there? Not shopping for another sound-wired vest, I hope....

We're waiting for more, Gruno!

edit: never mind, I went back and re-read Michele's post about Stevie's PR release -- it said Stevie was looking forward to the 'chemistry', not that they were actually already rehearsing and 'gelling.' My mis-read. I suppose they don't need much time to rehearse for this tour, since they can play all the songs in their sleep, anyway....
