I agree with this. I might add that she might be able to sell well by herself, but charge lower if not for Pretenders etc.

Stevie's 24k Gold tour was insanely popular. My belief was just like yours. I thought she could no longer fill arenas. The tour was extended twice. She never had so many sold out shows in her career. If Stevie was not with the Mac, they would have played to less than half the audience. 2/3 of the Mac's singers could not even fill small theaters. I know it eats people up to admit it but Stevie fills arenas. So much so, that Mick destroyed the legacy of the band to fire Lindsey. He chose sold out arenas and money over legacy. If Stevie was to announce a solo tour with no opening act, she would get pretty much the attendance as this current Mac line up. Its been that way for quite a while. The only tour was On With The Show because there was a huge demand for tickets because of Christine reuniting with the band. In 1986 Stevie filled arenas even double backing to cities because of sold out shows In 1987 The Mac with Stevie filled about the same amount of arenas 1989 Stevie filled arenas with a mildly successful album and tour 1990 The mac played with less people in mostly full arenas 1997 The Dance sold out - no comparison 1998 Enchanted tour - not as big as the Dance but Stevie fills arenas again after dismal Street Angel tour Unleashed tour was very successful and played to mostly full arenas On With the Show - sold out 24K Gold - full arenas, sold out shows, extended twice. Would not stop. Long story short, she has always packed the house equal to Mac tours except 1994 but the Mac was playing night clubs at that time Its sad but true, most people who go to Mac shows are there for Stevie. I remember skipping school in 1987 to wait in line for Tango tickets. It was a huge line and almost everyone in line was commenting they were only there to see Stevie. No one cares about Christine. Not that Funny was a waste of concert time, blah blah blah I don't like this fact but everyone knows it especially Mick.

Stevie made them all wildly popular on a long term basis and extremely wealthy, including Lindsey.

A happy ending with the classic lineup would be anticlimactic for the Fleetwood Mac story. Quote:
A Stevie solo show will do better than a Fleetwood Mac show without Stevie, but a Fleetwood Mac show with Stevie will do better than a Stevie solo show. And, Fleetwood Mac does better when Christine is in the band than not, so obviously people do care, at least in the context of Fleetwood Mac. [/QUOTE] Quote:
Stevie is obviously the most popular member, but people understand the difference. There is a context with Fleetwood Mac that draws in more people.

I think if she booked a new solo tour with nothing to promote and no big well known opener she wouldn't be playing 20,000 seat arena's. Since I have been a fan ( 2001- now) her tours solo have been in ampitheaters mainly with some exceptions . |

Bad example. She’s in the Hall twice. He’s only in once. Mick Jagger had some low points. His solo albums were forgettable.

Why is Cyndi Lauper not in? Why is Melissa not in? Why are Jon Landau & Irving Azoff being inducted over Diana Ross, Cher, & Tina Turner as individual solo artists? The interesting thing about the music they played before Stevie's induction by Harry was that they played Rhiannon twice during the video package and Crying in the Night; I thought she was inducted for contributions separate from her Fleetwood Mac role. Rhiannon closed the video intro out too; it wasn't just a passing clip, it was a focus. It led me to wonder if the Hall took this seriously. Do they even know Rhiannon and Crying in the Night are songs from groups called Buckingham Nicks & Fleetwood Mac |

To me the RRHOF is a joke because their rationale behind who gets inducted and who doesn't and the x members of certain bands that are excluded are questionable. ( Why the hell is Bill Champlain and Jason Scheff not in as members of Chicago? They had hits with them in the 80's and had long tenures in the band) I can't help but feel like her induction was a calculated move by Irving as like a big F- U to Lindsey and a way to justify his firing by proving she is the bigger star then him. Cyndi, Tina and Pat have either sold more albums, won Grammy's sold more concert tickets are icons in the gay comunity and have done numerous things to helo the LGBTQ community etc. WTH is the criteria to get in if those stats alone don't seem to be enough.

I don't think anyone would dispute that the 24K tour was a huge success, but the fact is, Stevie was largely a cult favorite for a long time before the last decade. Her appearance on AHS, and definitely the success of OWTS, and popularity with younger people is what bolstered her recent surge in popularity. It happened in the 90s and it is happening again. We shall see how long it lasts this time...

Neal Schon an Gregg Rolie…Meh. Tina should have been the first woman inducted twice. Quote:

Jagger's solo stuff IS for the most part forgettable, but, please, let's not pretend that he's not in a "celebrity league" far and away beyond that of Stevie Nicks (or anyone in Fleetwood Mac).
