You wouldn’t say that to Bob Dylan!

I don’t think there'd have been the expectations for something like Buckingham Fleetwood McVie compared to an entity called Fleetwood Mac. Fleetwood Mac would still have been an arena rock band in this scenario. Maybe it would have been larger than Lindsey solo/Mick Fleetwood Blues Band, but it would be its own thing. I also don’t think Stevie would have been threatened by it, especially if she was working on new music. The guys having their own entity would have taken pressure off of her to make more Fleetwood Mac music. Plus, it would’ve been easy to say Lindsey needed a rhythm section and Mick and John needed the work. In any case, crediting the original GoS to Buckingham Fleetwood McVie would have been more accurate, since it wasn’t quite Fleetwood Mac, but not quite solo, and would have been better than pissing away six years debating if it should be released as a solo album or merged into a Fleetwood Mac album.

Also, they debuted 4 new songs for the Dance. That was average for the Mac when they released Mirage and Tango, they played 4 new songs from each album. |

My Wild Heart ticket cost almost as much as the album. Ticketmaster and other entities changed that. Most people prefer to go to summer amphitheaters and hear the same songs over and over again they can sing along to. I heard Smokey Robinson say on Stern once that there are songs he has to do so they dont throw meat at him. Many performers get locked out of the creative process due to the big money machine.

Thing is—with the exception of Lindsey, none of these musicians work on their instrument(s) between tours, so a reunion of these “advanced in age” persons would demonstrate further ossification and creakiness. If they were really going to do even a handful of shows well, Christine would need to stop watching Narcos and start practicing again, building up stamina in her legs and hands (I can’t imagine how degraded her voice has become), John would have to pick up the bass, and maybe Stevie would have to switch to flat shoes (to match the flat vocals!). Even Mick is a shadow of his former self, when it comes to playing.
Lindsey still writes, records, practices… I guess so do Mike and Neil. |

Remember Stevie lied when she was asked by RollingStone why she wasn't on the LBCM album, she said she had been on the road since September 2016, so she didn't get their premise; the BuckVie album was worked on in from 2014-2016 - the work didn't start when she was on her 24 Karat Gold Tour. She wasn't happy that they got an album out without her. |

There are two reasons I can think of that John and Mick didn’t join them on that tour- they didn’t want to because they knew it wouldn’t be as big a moneymaker without Stevie or they weren’t invited to. I’m not sure about John, but knowing Mick and his love for being on the road and making some money, any money, I have a hard time imagining he declined. Something that just occurred to me… Lindsey said right around the time of the Dance that he was concerned that FM touring with REO Speedwagon and Pat Benatar might have damaged the legacy of FM. The same could be said of the band if they had concluded with the Buck/Vie album and tour. Playing casinos would not have been a high note for FM to go out on. |

Please help me understand, you're saying that if Lindsey, Chris, Mick and John toured then the ticket could have said "Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie" and that's it? No mention of Mick and John on that ticket?
