I think they shouldn't perfom GYOW, because now there is a current Fleetwood Mac lineup with Lindsey. And there are several cool songs they can play, from the early years and the post-Tango era.

Agreed. The should do songs from BTM and 'Time', as well as some solo tracks - and possibly a Peter Green track or two...

EXACTLY! That would be sweet AND make it a unique show on it's own.
Mick needs to get past his fear that no one will like anything he does UNLESS he caters to the "Rumours" crowd.
Billy and Rick have way, way too much talent of their own to have to do Lindsey stuff. Know what I'm sayin'? :wavey:

Bummer! I'd actually like to go to this. =L ChiliD would be proud of me.

Hmmmm, I didn't realize that Rick & Billy were in The Mick Fleetwood Band these days. I'll have to think about this one.

Let me know, cuz I wanna go! :wavey:

^ Guess we're screwed - both shows are sold out. :shocked: I transcribed a small blurb from The Buffalo News, written by Jeff Miers:

MAC BREAK

The sound of FM has morphed so drastically over the 40 years of the group's existence that one would be forgiven for failing to find a common link between the group's late-'60's incarnation and tha late-'70's band that gave us the platinum powered pop genius of "Rumours," "Tusk" and "TITN."

Guitarists have come and gone - legends all, from the mighty Peter Green, to the soulful and refined Bob Welch, through Lindsey Buckingham's baroque folk genius, and the one-two punch of rockers Billy Burnette and Rick Vito - while the group's sound persued various avenues, from hard blues to soft rock. One presence has always remained: the ecstatic, bug-eyed stare and rock-steady thump of skinsman and co-namesake Mick Fleetwood, whose drumming can be heard on Mac hits as disparate os "The Green Manalishi," "Hypnotized," "Don't Stop" and "Peacekeeper."

While Buckingham concentrates - temporarily at least - on his long-neglected solo career, Fleetwood has packed up his drums, grabbed ahold of both Burnette and Vito, called old friend bassist George Hawkins Jr., and booked a string of solo dates. The groups stops for shows next Friday and Jan 13 in the Avalon Ballroom of Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort. Both shows are sold out.

Paula, you should try it anyway. I'll bet there's tix at the box office the day of the show.

At least the author of this article knows that FM hasn't broken up. The radio commercials here for LB say, "Former member of FM." I cringe every time.

And, who wants to lay odds on him doing "Fooled Around & Fell In Love", too?:shrug: :lol:

Yep, he did that song last year at Mohegan Sun in CT.:lol: The show was free.

^^^Why is he doing a Elvin Bishop song?:confused: :confused: :confused:

He was the vocalist for him at that time and sang lead on that song. At least that is what I gathered at the show last year in CT. I was surprised to find that info out myself.

Are you serious??? I always thought EB was the singer! At the club where I work, there are BIG 4' pics of stars that have played there, over the years, over all the walls. One of the oldest pics is Elvin Bishop(NO ONE knows who it is, so I've said his name 10K times). I guess I just ASSumed that he was the singer, too....
I'll be damned.:rolleyes:

I found this info at answers.com just to make sure that I was not cracking up.

Mickey Thomas (born December 3 1949, in Cairo, Georgia), is an American singer.

He was inspired to take part in music after seeing a Beatles performance in 1964. He travelled to Atlanta with long time childhood friends Charles Connell, Lewis Oliver, Tommy Verran and Walter Wight. Thomas, Connell and Verran wound up in their first rock and roll band together. Ironically, Verran was the lead singer at the time. They split up to go to different colleges, but later reformed in the early 1970s along with friend Bud Thomas as "The Jets". While singing lead for The Jets, in 1974, Thomas joined the Elvin Bishop Group as a harmony singer, and eventually made it to lead vocals. His best-known achievement was singing on the chart hit "Fooled Around And Fell In Love", a #3 single in 1977.
