Current Fleetwood Mac Rehearsals That Have Just Wrapped Up...

"Hypnotized" is such a mesmerizing song. I would LOVE to hear Lindsey cover that song.

 

I wasn't too impressed by the last tour. It was far too much a Lindsey Buckingham one man show. And Mick's drums were way too loud in the mix. The highlight for me was Stevie singing 'Sara'. I bought tickets for this round too only because Christine is back. I'm hoping for a more balanced band effort. I like to think that the last tour was the rehearsal; this one is the real thing.

 

Not sure what you're trying to say here, or how it's an answer to what I wrote....

 

I'm a casual F-Mac fan at best, but I always felt C-Mac had the best voice of the three frontliners. Glad to hear she's back.

 

It's called sarcasm. You honestly believe that her rejoining Fleetwood Mac is the only reason fans would want to see them in concert so soon after the band's latest tour?
You do realize they are a classic, timeless band with millions of records sold and millions of fans all over the world, right?

 

I saw them twice as a 4 piece but it just wasn't the same. A good show, mind you, but it was lacking that certain something...or someone
I also wish I could blink my eyes and make Say You Will disappear forever....

 

Yeah, thanks for reminding me...

If Christine hadn't rejoined the band, I very much doubt they would have undertaken another tour so quickly. I would have been quite annoyed if I'd paid their high prices to see them last year and then they announced they were coming back with Christine.

 

I think I got what you're saying- if I had seen them last year without her I probably wouldn't do it again this year. Add her back to the mix and maybe I would. That would be true for me.

 

Well, with Christine back in the fold, they can start to perform "C'mon Get Happy" again.

 

or Indian Lake

 

Yes. So? Your original comment/point is still lost on me. You still haven't made it clear? What were you trying to say?

You: "If Christine hadn't rejoined the band, I very much doubt they would have undertaken another tour so quickly."

And? Of course they wanna celebrate her rejoining the band. Could they have easily done another tour without her? Sure. They're Fleetwood Mac. They don't NEED her. Are they better WITH her? Yes.

I'm glad she's back. After all, how many bands have all of THREE talented songwriters?

 

Susan! Stop twirling and put that top hat down THIS INSTANT!

 

It was a semi-cynical response to the statement from someone else "She's crucial to this incarnation." As in, yeah, she's crucial, because now they can do another big tour a year later, when they probably wouldn't have. Not saying I'm not happy to see her back or that she isn't important for other reasons.

 

He could you know, he has the range...

 

Ok. Then I completely misinterpreted your comment. Sorry! I actually thought you felt like they really needed Christine in order to continue to be "credible" or a "force to be reckoned with".

 

Wolfgang's Vault has (or had) some recordings from a 1975 Fleetwood Mac concert, and you can hear Lindsey singing "Hypnotized" there. In that lineup's earliest shows they had to do songs from the Bob Welch albums to fill out the set.

 

Yeah. I don't doubt for a second that it would sound absolutely wonderful. I think it would give me chills. And it would be a nice tribute to early Fleetwood Mac.

 

Exactly!

 

Yeah, I was wondering what you found so disagreeable. Not only would they have not wanted to go into another big tour so soon, particularly Stevie, but I doubt they would've done good business doing arenas and covering the same cities as last year. In fact, the last tour ended at the beginning of this year. Christine is the only reason for this tour, both in their willingness to do it and their commercial viability.

 

I'll be hoping for Albatross, Rattlesnake Shake (25min version with Underway),Green Manalishi,Stranger Blues, My Dream,World In Harmony, Shake Your Moneymaker, Sandy Mary, Loving Kind, Tiger and Oh Well when i see them with Peter, Danny and Jeremy on the 50th anniversary tour.

 

Crush on LB?

 

Yes. I admit it. I'm not gay, but, man, do I have a male crush on Lindsey. Me: "My name is Thomas H. Thomsen, and I'm addicted to Lindsey Buckingham!"

 

Like Keenan Thompson, he's ya main MAN!

 

He did, on his first tour with the band.

 

Sounds like a worthy archival release. That is, if they actually recorded any of the concerts.
