I feel like Mike Campbell also alluded to that---I think it was in the statement he released? But I could be wrong....time/ticket sales/reception will tell I guess.

It also depends on whether or not the chemistry is good. I think it could be. Obviously, Mick works well with Neil, while Stevie and Mike have a long history of collaboration.

Fair point and agree. The wild cards are how Stevie gels with Neil on the songs that have Lindsey's DNA all over them ( they should drop Gypsy, Dreams and Silver Springs) and how Stevie, Chris and Neil all gel together. Mike will hang back a bit I think (a la John) but his presence will be known.

They can keep Dreams but Gypsy and Sara most of all have got to go. And I'm already positive Silver Springs will never be performed again. Not by any FM lineup or by Stevie herself.

I agree. She has never performed it without him. Not once.

This is mean for obvious reasons, but I think it would be hilarious if Stevie finally did Fireflies on this tour.

Neil Finn Says He Needed Convincing To Join Fleetwood Mac: 'How Do I React To This?'

Following his shock appointment to the Fleetwood Mac line-up this past April, Neil Finn has revealed he needed some convincing to join the legendary band.
Appearing on last night's Interview with son Liam, the Crowded House frontman recalled getting the call from Mick Fleetwood about possibly joining Fleetwood Mac as he was heading off to sound check for a concert in Auckland that night.

"I just had this big goofy grin on my face and said, 'I'll have to let you know tomorrow, Mick. I've got to do a show.'"

He continued, "I was kinda nonplussed initially thinking, 'How do I react to this?'"

Liam said of convincing his Dad, "I was like, 'You've gotta go and see this out. This is amazing.'"

Finn revealed it took two days of jamming with Fleetwood Mac for things to click.

"… We had two days playing and it was, you know, I wasn't sure," he said.

"The first day, I kinda thought well… but the second day everyone came in a very more relaxed mode and we just sounded good straight away.

"The voices sounded good together and I'd done a little bit of homework and I knew the songs that they'd ask me to sing. It didn't feel that strange even. It felt like being in a band."

Finn again reiterated that he is indeed a permanent Fleetwood Mac member and will continue on with the group following their US tour.

"I've joined the band, I'm a new member. It's a new band. That's how they're seeing it, anyway," Finn explained.

"It feels like they're up for it. They're really hungry to make new music, they're hungry to be as good a band as they can possibly be and above all, they're hungry to have fun."

As TV Tonight reports, Interview was watched by 483,000 viewers. Watch last night's episode here.

Let's hope it's true that they continue after this tour, and make new music.

I don’t know.

I don’t really care if Stevie is on board with a new album. LBCM should have been credited to and supported as Fleetwood Mac.

However, keeping in mind that a Fleetwood Mac album with Stevie and Lindsey was never going to happen again, if this creates an environment where Stevie agrees to do another Fleetwood Mac album and that ultimately gives us another album with Mick, John, and Christine together, I’m fine with it and I can’t imagine them having anyone better than Neil or Mike if they can’t have Lindsey.

It won’t be a classic, but neither were SYW or LBCM.
