Same! I'm dreading it like a 13 minute Stevie speech!

To each their own. If it had been called Fleetwood Mac and Mick, John, and Christine were on it, it would have been Fleetwood Mac.

Off topic: but, how was the Dirty Knobs show?

[John Run]

The press drumbeat with the constant Stevie and Lindsey mentions are all too predictable in their presumptive outcome. There will be some sort of hand holding reconvening of the Lindsey and Stevie Fleetwood Mac. If there is a short run, either an Azoff driven Vegas Sphere run, or a London, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles Stadium farewell, or simply a soundstage to Netflix performance, the star-crossed, angry lovers will hold hands on stage once again. Lindsey will speak of organic cycles, Stevie will talk for minutes on end about how she was the one who knew they would make it, even when Lindsey didn't believe it, and she was the one who loved him before he was rich and famous, and of course Mick will smile endlessly as the checking account rebuilds itself, and he tells all who will listen, this was the definitive Fleetwood Mac, and its only right the band ends with this line for its final time on stage.

Book it into your 2025 calendar, and grab those air sickness bags when you depart your next flight.

My response to this is: YEP

Nope…nope…nope…Not this time. Christine is gone (RIP) John is done. Stevie is where she wants to be at this point in her life. Mick will have to sell some more of his “stuff “ if he needs the money. Lindsey should continue to do Lindsey. He should pull some musicians together and put together a Traveling Wilburys type band together.

ALL. OF. THIS.

I pray that this is all correct.

As much as I love Lindsey, he'll be a loser like Mick if he goes back. He suffered PUBLIC HUMILIATION at the hands of the Old Goat. If he goes back and holds her hand, THEN I'M DONE WITH HIM. Pathetic.

I really just don't see it happening, but I've read the room incorrectly so many times before.

I do think Mick is hedging things a bit here, talking explicitly about things happening perhaps not in the context of Fleetwood Mac. He's got his faults as we all know but deep down maybe with the loss of Christine and a growing sense of mortality he just hopes that if one or other of them were to go on that final tour of Canada they would leave us on better rather than bitter terms. So I'm cutting him some slack. He seems to have reconciled with Lindsey a little, which is good.

And if I'm wrong and something Mac-related does emerge, I won't go. Others might get something out of it and that's fair enough. Even the government would make some sales tax or VAT out of it...

It was fantastic. Mike is incredibly entertaining. There were a few times I thought “what if…”

My favorite moment was how he quietly said “This goes out to Don” before playing “F*** That Guy,” and then made it an audience participation song.

What I found interesting was how Mike and Steve made a point of saying they didn’t use computers, click tracks, or piped-in music, that they were entirely live.

Mick's comment about a reconciliation between Lindsey and Stevie "that doesn't have to be a tour" is I think the very telling piece. Clearly the two of them wouldn't survive another road show, whether that's because of ego clashes, or if the odd chance that her comments about his health have any glimmer of truth to them that precludes him doing months on the road or whatever... Mick at least is holding the space in his head for them to do a final show somewhere, somehow ... at least that's how I'm reading between the lines of his comment. He might be thinking he can convince the two of them to hold their fire for a SINGLE show, or a SERIES of shows (Vegas or wherever).... we know Irving will be down with making money in whatever form. I can see Lindsey being open to the idea of closing out the band with something, even with Chris no longer there. I don't agree with that in any form or for any number of gigs, but....we know the personalities involved...

So..... stay tuned

It's ironic that of all the solo and band shows that I've seen since 83, Stevie has cancelled FAR MORE shows then all our band members combined, including the 2 recent ones. She truly is delusional and living in her own fantasy world these days.

I am so tired of seeing that headline all over the web "Mick wants Nicks/Buckingham rift to heal." The headline should continue "because Mick needs money."
If he was so concerned about this rift, he would have postponed the 2018 tour and made sure the rift was ironed out. Its ridiculous that now without a band and limited income that he plots this for himself.
Just as I thought he could go no lower.

That’s very true… especially since Stevie has toured what- 20 solo tours versus Christine’s 2 tours and Lindsey’s 7 tours? But as part of FM, I have no doubt you’re right, and she has probably been the reason most FM shows were canceled.

I think Mick is sincere that he really hopes Lindsey and Stevie reconcile purely because it makes him sad that they aren’t speaking, and not because he wants a tour. Lindsey’s willingness to forgive Stevie is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of the quality of man he is.

You're delusional. Go throw some holy water on your Stevie shrine.
