In fact, the only semi-blues they were still doing in those years (as an entire song) was “Oh Well” and that was Lindsey’s decision, as he told Jim Ladd in 1981. Mick, Chris, and John only wanted to play any blues, apparently, when they were waiting for Ray Lindsey to restring and played a little “Jumping at Shadows” in the down time.

Somehow after the events of 2018 people started pushing a new narrative that Lindsey Buckingham single-handedly dictated Fleetwood Mac setlists for the past 20 years or that he was the sole decision maker on using any kind of backing tracks dating back to 1997, which we have no documentation of how that decision was made. People just assumed because he uses them in his solo act that he also insisted on using them with Fleetwood Mac, without any proof.
I'm sure Lindsey was also responsible for axing Destiny Rules and Running Through the Garden in '03.......
