Behind The Mask Concert Tour- 1990

For now.” (The book ended here).

That goodbye must refer to what he previous told, “That summer’s series of Euro shows also saw both Chris and Stevie announce in midtour that they would be leaving the band. Both women were wealthy and famous, and neither felt like continuing the pressure and the pace that went along with life in Fleetwood Mac”.

Well, that last paragraph is far from accurate, since the real reasons (specially Stevie’s) were completely different, or so I read.

I think Michelle has written she was there for one of the final nights in LA or Oakland and commented about Lindsey. There is a video on youtube of Lindsey on the last night in Oakland.

So you're saying that MICK IS A LIAR?

Now that's shocking. About as shocking as a AAA battery in a toy.

When Mick finally hangs it up and needs money, he will auction off his prized possession like his drum suit he had for the 1987 and 1990 tour. I will buy it for you so you can hang it on your wall next Biddy's undies.

HELP ME
OH GOD
HELP ME

I bet you did not run to the concession stand then. You had tears of amazement in your eyes!

Abstaining from love is also dangerous.

OMG listen to Chris's keyboard playing. The recording is picking up her playing that you might not hear so much. Its insane! Its wild! Slightly psychedelic and intrancing sounding.....boop boop boop...boop boop boop

According to some sources, this was the week when Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie announced they were leaving the band at the end of the 1990 tour.

Mick said the reason was "they were wealthy, famous and didn't felt like continuing the pressure and the pace that went along with life in Fleetwood Mac. The two ladies reached this decision together, although both indicated they would continue to record with the band in the future". (My Twenty-five Years in Fleetwood Mac, Mick Fleetwood 1992).

However, many believed that Nicks’ and McVie’s departures were hastened by bad blood in the wake of Fleetwood’s 1990 book.

I vaguely remember hearing that Chris was finished touring with the band an eensy-weensy bit before Stevie, but it was very close on the actual calendar. I don’t think either of them had any bad blood about the book (other than disgust with its trashiness). Remember that Stevie would frequently introduce Mick onstage as the bestselling author — whether tongue in cheek or not, she wasn’t really angry about his book. When they both decided they were done touring, my impression was that they were just very tired, especially since the band was really struggling to appeal to a radio audience and sell albums and it wasn’t working. People get tired — remember how Bob Welch got tired after a run of bad luck (a fake band, low sales, artistic stagnancy)? Stevie was battling her tranquilizer addiction and Christine missed what was left of her family. A person can sour on a band that isn’t cool anymore. It takes a lot out of you to smile in public to try to prop up the organization indefinitely.

I don't think chris had any bad feelings about the book...? i mean, mick painted her in a very good light.. (better than anyone else, imo!) and i don't think stevie was too upset either after she got over the initial revelation of the affair bit.

I tend to believe that they were just tired, and less than enthused. The early-mid 90s were not kind to FM, they were sort of fading at that time... they probably figured the band were on their way to an eventual 'end point' anyway.

Grunge killed off the classic rock stars, at least for a few years. Look and Lindsey's opus, OOTC. He couldn't get arrested with it.

Grunge is when I turned to country music. I need HARMONY and MELODY, and country groups were FAR closer to FM and The Eagles than grunge could ever be....

Freeeeeeezin'.........Shut the actual FUKC up, Eddie. Just STFU...

Me too…..I couldn’t agree more. My new #1 band has been Little Big Town. “ The Country Fleetwood Mac “ ( per Kelly Clarkson) Every album they release is better than the last one (IMO)

But he did make Stevie seem like an idiot a few times outing her for falling off the stage on the RAL tour and taking microdot acid and could not stop laughing trying to find Mick and the airport, and threatening the band making Tango about going to Rolling Stone. True the affair was the most revealing but Stevie got spooked at the book because she asked Mick directly "what's in it?" She knew that he could of had the greatest tell all of all time. He just leaked a few juicy ones. She threatened to sue him.
