But she has no voice left. None of them really do. Either nasal, or whispering, or yelling, or croaking. Oh my.

I love BuckVie, too. If Lindsey could produce a BV II, that would be great. I wouldn't wager on it happening, though.

This is stunning to me! And I love that Brooch. BuckVie II would make me fly to Indiana to see it with you.

That sounds pretty good, and it's only dropped a half step(although the original was never completely in C - Lindsey had been f*cking with the tape speed[I HATE it when I can't play along without retuning - which is half of Tusk]).

These days I see nearly all my shows in Nashville. Indy is an hour away from Bloomington, and nearly all tours hit both towns, so I just wait for the Nashville date! I can walk to all venues in town, cocktail in hand. No driving, no paying $30 to park, and hit the honky tonks the minute the concert is over.
See ya in Nashville!

We could've had new FM music played on the On With the Show Tour too. But Songs from the Vault was more important

If only $he respected the band like $he claims $he does. I wish $he would have just quit and let the other 4 carry on. $he could go make money, and we could get more music.

$he strangled the band. (I think Tony said that.) But I love that analogy.

I've said for 15 years that $he's the worst thing that ever happened to FM.

Her stardom killed their creativity. Gotta milk those hits!!!

Chili was right, they should have kicked her out after Mirage.

Much reverence to ChiliD

What I find interesting is that while FM needed her in the band to be marketable and have respectful sales, she also needed FM to make bank for a while. I'd say 05-13.
Attendance and ticket prices at FM shows in 09 and 13 were greater than her solo shows. Stevie's the star, but that name Fleetwood Mac just sells even more.

Come 2014 or 2015, she probably could've went on a solo tour without a special guest such as Pretenders, and played the sports arenas. She had Glee and American Horror Story momentum.

Then we couldve had a four member tour with new music.

Chili is always right!!!

I hope he's doing better now. I believe he's back at home, again.

Its interesting to think of the possibilities because after Mirage she did not give the Mac any real hits. Lindsey probably would not have left in 1987 and its interesting how the rest of their career would have played out. They clearly would not be as rich as they are today since Stevie puts butts in the seats but their legacy would have been better defined.

Stevie's solo career would have still went through the decline and maybe still there would have been a Dance reunion that saved both their careers.

We all know Irving made the Mac surrender bigger percentages to Stevie for touring. I just wonder if that started as early as Mirage (since she was a big solo star).
