Mick is sick 10 year anniversary

[Macfan4life]

Its been almost exactly 10 years since one of the coolest moments in rock history took place. Mick played sick until he couldn't and the drum tech came out to perform Go Your Own Way. Really incredible. Many bands would have just called it a night. OMG so much has happened in 10 years! Sadly 2 people on that stage are no longer with us

I didn't know about that episode. So cool the video included Songbird.

I know it's a complete different situation, but watching four of the five guys lineup, reminds me the april 2009 concert when they said goodbye in a similar hug. Only that time it was Christine who wasn't there. I'll always be a fan of that five people lineup.

The band never did go back and make up for half a show. Mick has played through some incredible pain so Stevie is right when she explains how bad he must be. The band resumed the night show without issues. This tour Mick never took a night off when his mother passed either. I guess it was true when they said ON WITH THE SHOW.

Lincoln, Nebraska was also the tour stop where Mick told the McVies he could no longer play with Bob Weston and he was fired. Weston went back to England and the tour stopped in 1973.

I love that clip... john's hand on chris's shoulder as they're talking is so sweet. poor mick must have really been a mess. i figured they'd never go back for another show though.

Yeah but they gotta say that to keep the crowd happy.
Really remarkable how they plotted a way forward for at least another song. For a drummer to step into another drummer's set and perform is risky. He did a great job and only missed the beat once but they carried on which is really cool.
I wonder if Mick has ever watched this and what he thinks.

He sure will include his thoughts about this episode in his third book.

You're actually eager to see if it'll fit, aren't you?

Actually if a third one appeared, I wouldn't buy it, as I didn't the second one. I think I have read the first one just twice (not like you who read it lot of times ). As I told in the past, some ledgie (I can't remember who) shared the txt file, and I downloaded it, so it's easy to look for, and find a specific episode, info, and that's why I often share quotes from the book, just to comment about some anecdote mentioned here.

I did enjoyed Mick's book, back in the early 90s. However thru the years I learned many events reported are of dubious credibility, but it's useful to quote them sometimes, just to compare.
