i love this discussion actually. especially considering that Mick, Keith Olsen, Christine, Lindsey and Stevie all seem to have slightly different versions, embellished for better story-telling effect. Wendy says something a bit different now.

so is all we have to go on for what we thought happened their stories or there is something else too?

The one constant, though, is everybody else has maintained that it was New Years Eve, 1974. After that, Bob wasn't really part of the Mac's equation.

weren't they all saying forever that they met just once in some mexican restaurant and that was it - one phone call one mexican restaurant meet and they were in... but then Christine recently said that they actually had 2 meetings, once in that mexican restaurant and once at Mick's (i think?) house? and i can't really remember exactly, but i think these 2 meetings were not at exact NYE timeline that we were hearing about forever?

I've never understood the meetings themselves to be on New Year's Eve. Just that they got the call on NYE. And, the way I understood Christine's comments is that Stevie and Lindsey met at Mick's house before they went to the Mexican restaurant, which is different from the other accounts, but not that different. In all cases, Bob was out on NYE, 1974.

Default So many accusations

I want to make it very clear that I NEVER said that Fleetwood Mac ran this site. Anyone that says that should show me where I said it.

Also in England you should be advised that Reprise Records was Warner Brothers!

Why would they close y thread for Bob being regarding Bob being deleted by FM when so many had responses to make. Does tht not tell you who is discrediting who. They must even own this site as well, or why would thread have been closed? Ask yourselves that question. Also, all other sites of FM have deleted Bob Welch's credentials. Doesn't that make you see things in the real light of day/11

Default Mamagement has NO control/ It's Warners

I personally believe that Warner's has not released those songs from '68 to 74 because they have a boxed set to sell and until that's done , those songs won't be released.

I also must add that Clifford Davis/Adams has no control over the masters being released on I tunes or any other form of download.

Well I Highly Doubt it's Warners Fault! Fleetwood Mac Wants To Get Rid of the 1971-1974 Era.

To Mick, There Was 2 Eras. Of Fleetwood Mac
  • Blues Era
  • Rumours Era

Sadly, Not One of Bob's Singles with FM Charted
