![]() Thank you! It took me an hour to form words into sentences that make sense. My vocabulary is not so bad, but syntax and grammar is difficult for me. And I'm pretty sure that when I reread, I'll find a ton of bugs.

![]() We are fans. We are more exigent, we deserve the best songs and not the usual oldies.
But.. They play for general people, who expect the usual hits. And also, they play for money. They look for sold out shows. They look for N.1 albums.. Or not? Well, see the THE DANCE sales and compare it to SYW sales... The numbers are obvious and Fleetwood Mac knows that. Do you think, for example, that today, a tour based on full Tusk songs would be finnancially succesful? I really doubt it. Tusk album was not Dark side of the Moon. Waters or Gilmour could tour with just DSOTM songs. I think Fleetwood Mac can't. Besides Stevie did changed a bit, include Beautiful Child in the SYW tour, Storms in the Unleashed, etc.. by the way, I don't write a perfect english either, if you see mistakes in my post, las disculpas del caso...

![]() What they did was testing the waters with their three new songs. Judging from that material, only Christine was still able to write a hook. |

![]() It was the same story for me, too. It actually took Christine's absence to make me realize how she truly was the magic fairy dust of Fleetwood Mac. She is the piece that made all the other ones fit together. Fleetwood Mac has always been known for love and war... but with her gone, there is just a whole lot of war, and not much love. |

![]() I first noticed when I saw the SYW live show.The sound was missing something and I realized it was lacking Christine.

![]() I'd have to agree with this.. back in the day when I saw her solo tours.. she'd always do dreams then outside the rain.. she was comfortable with patterns..

![]() Back to the Dance...
I can't believe 13 years have passed. I didn't watch it when it was originally released. My recollections of Fleetwood Mac up until that point were pretty much all Stevie-centered. I remembered hearing Dreams during the summer when I was a teen. Constantly. On AM radio, yet. I thought it was "creepy." And I remembered seeing Stevie a year or two before the Dance and thinking that she didn't look that great and wondered (vaguely) what happened. I came upon the Dance during Thanksgiving time during VH1's endless reruns. Came in on the exact same moment (during Silver Springs) each time I was channel surfing (Never get away, never get away...) One day, I stopped surfing. And that was that for me. That discovery happened during a difficult time in my life. A time post-a great deal of loss. And FM (and the Dance, in particular) did sell me on the idea of new beginnings and life and its (you guessed it) Endless Cycles going round and round (and round and round some more). I affectionately make fun of some of it but, no matter what, the Mac will always be hugely responsible for a HUGE change in my attitude and my life (and, in a circuitous way, my current career). And I'm very grateful for all of that. Now, lets all hold hands and sing Kumbaya. |

But Christine's impulse to put her sexy blues solo on it had died with the 1982 tour.

![]() I agree with you. I feel that the myth of two solo albums smooshed together was just lazy music criticism that caught on. I think it's the most cohesive Mac album since Tusk--and also the best.

![]() Hello Skuncles & all: Boy, that's hard to believe. It feels like yesterday. Glad for the new fans it brought, and the revival of "Silver Springs". Makes me feel old, though. Best regards, Madelow.
