One thing that has always seemed odd is the members of Fleetwood Mac reported inability to properly handle their finances. After so many concerts and recording sales they should all be Ka-Billionaires at this point and only coming back to play for the joy of it.... which may be the case this time, I dont know for sure, but ditching Lindsey to get on the road... it appears they need some money.
Mick Fleetwood has been bankrupt at least two or three times over the years (perhaps more)...I've never heard of any money troubles among the three songwriters in the band.

Can't be said enough: Fleetwood Mac don't just put on a great show for being an oldies act even though they are. They legitimately put on a really surprisingly great show. And Lindsey is such a major part of that. Stevie is such a major part of that. I really don't think you can do it without either of them. Christine you can but I'm thrilled she's back. Its beating a dead horse I know, but at this point there's zero reason to fire one of your two lead frontpeople and replace them. They're too far down the line to actually expand on it and if you're going to a trip down nostalgic lane you might as well be doing it with the guy who can still crush it (again, same logic for if they replace Stevie. If she can still do it, no one else will do). Its just silly at this point, even moreso after watching these videos.

Agreed, Christine is replaceable and was replaced for a time, i think also Mick Fleetwood is amazing too, the way he beats with Lindsey's guitar, slightly off but its just unique, that rhythm section with John is awesome, would hate to see John replaced .

This was a really great song on an otherwise rather subpar album from that new Buckingham McVie project. But John and Mick shine as a rhythm section, particularly Fleetwood's drum breaks which make me smile so much more than a 70 year old man simply playing drums should. But it sounds @#$%& awesome. Like you said, incredibly unique player:

Everyone will hate me now, but i don't think Charlie is anything like as good as Mick Fleetwood.
Charlie is almost disinterested in comparison.
I know Charlie is loyal and all that but he just seems to wish he was elsewhere.
Its like he does the drums because Keith asks, not because he wants to.

keefriff99I think he means that for the people who went to Desert Trip, it wasn't just about crossing some names off a list...it was a real, live, vibrant rock'n'roll experience with artists who can still deliver even at their advanced ages.Quote

Exactly. I doubt you will find many who attend who felt like they were checking off a bucket list item and it wasn't an epic event. On the other hand the thoughts of those who didn't attend seem to feel like it wasn't a big deal event.

Will the Mac tour behind be a new lp?

I'll be very curious to see how they market this tour with this line-up. Cheaper tix? Smaller venues? Both? Secondary/Tertiary markets? If they are not willing to make that kind of adjustment, I would not be surprised if a tour gets cancelled/ postponed and we see a return of Lindsey for their "Grit Our Teeth And Bear Each Other One More Time Tour" in 2019.

I equate this to the Stones "firing" Ronnie Wood as far as the impact on the band, although perhaps I diminish Buckingham's talent in that comparison.

It's a little different...Buckingham's role as a songwriter, guitarist, vocalist, arranger and producer cannot be overstated. A significant stage presence as well.

Mick Mars might be available; and they are all in the same town...
so let's not over-react to this.
