Wish I could see the short Neil & Liam Finn tour in January. It's a family affair with wife Sharon & other son Elroy in the band. They are playing a cool venue in Bristol. Old church converted to venue, about 600 seats. I'll have to get my Neil fix with the Mac in November. I think the set list looks interesting. Can't wait!

Are you in Bristol? Did you happen to see the Crowdies gig at Thekla back in '07?
Agreed that it would be great to see the Neil & Liam tour. Their album could have used an upbeat track or two but it's a great collection of songs.

I would absolutely think it sounds good. Thats never really the problem with these bands. I think just as someone that is all for authenticity when possible, this seems desperate. But I no doubt think it sounds good. I just can't get on board with it and the setlist didn't do much to sway me.

Of course, Gypsy is not in the set list, How could it be? Anyway, as a casual FM observer, LB and CM are the cornerstones of this dynamic group. - LB should have fired FM.

Just been listening to Lindsey's solo anthology; maybe, just maybe, he doesn't need the Fleetwood Mac gig ?

Certainly not from an artistic perspective, but to go from playing arenas to theaters...maybe his ego needs the big-name band.

The band is releasing a 50 year retrospective collection, which includes songs written by and performed by two late members (Kirwan and Welch). They include a few of those songs in their set. Do they have any slide show tributes to either of them as they do for non-member Tom Petty?

There's a great "new" song on the recent Petty box set with Stevie called "The Apartment Song".

the non stevie version of this song was already issued in 1995 so even the song itself isn't unheard

Isn't that a song on Full Moon Fever?

The one issued in 1995 on "Playback" is the Stevie version (demo recorded in 1984).
The non-Stevie version is on "Full Moon Fever" (1989).

No, I live in Seattle. 1 of my best friends lives in Bristol (England) & got tickets. Jealous. I'm seeing Fleetwood Mac in Seattle next month. I watched a few youtube vids from FM opening night. I thought they sounded pretty good, given its first night. Mike Campbell is smokin' on Black Magic Woman & Neil Finn did a lovely Dont Dream Its Over (with a little help from Stevie). & Free Fallin' seemed like it was from the heart. Definitely not the disaster that the show with Earth Wind & Fire was.

I've been impressed with the videos from Tulsa and Chicago too. Finn and Campbell are settling in nicely. I Got You in particular sounds great.
Funny - I grew up in the UK but am now in Seattle myself as it happens. Looking forward to the Tacoma Dome gig.

New interview with Lindsey Buckingham...
[www.rollingstone.com]
...as some suspected here, Stevie didn't want to be on stage with him ever again and gave the rest of the band an "Either he goes or I go" ultimatum.
I'm sure neither one of them are easy to deal with, but I think Lindsey is the more grounded of the two. I don't think anything in that article warrants such a ridiculous overreaction.Quote

Sounds like a real diva.
Buckingham, that is.
Team Stevie.
Sure she has good reason, and likely long overdue.

Buckingham smirks while Nicks speeches, so he's out and they become the worlds most expensive tribute band.
I remember the last tour before Christine re-joined.
Nicks was rambling on for about 20 minutes before singing 'Without You'.
And it was so incoherent even the audience was laughing.
So no, you can't blame Buckingham for a smirk.
Yeah, she did the same thing in 2014...it wasn't anywhere near 20 minutes, but it was still self-indulgent and off-putting....something about one of her sweaters or some article of clothing. Absolutely nonsensical.Quote

Funny; I remember this exactly as well. It was in Antwerp, Belgium; and the audience there was laughing at first... but soon became very iritated. (and rightfully so. Cringeworthy it was!)

As for Free Fallin', I read in Mike Campbell's recent Rolling Stone interview that he objected to it because he's played it so many times...yet Stevie convinced him to do it because, in her words, "The crowd will love it. It’ll be a moment." Kind of sums up the whole thing now with "Stevie Nicks' Fleetwood Mac."
