She should be taking NEW MUSIC around the world like she did with In Your Dreams… I still don’t think 24 Karat Gold was a tour for that album.

Maybe Mick Fleetwood will join her on tour.

Considering that this might be the last chance we get to see her live, and might be her 'Swan Song', it would really be nice if she realises that, and can fine tune this tour so that she is remembered with the respect and admiration that she deserves.

I will, say this about all remaining 'Fireflies'. Also, please, recreate the original 'Rumours' American Indianeske 'Gold Dust Women' without the 'Crackhead dance'. This is distressing to watch, really it is. Just my opinion of course! Amen!🤗

I prey to my god that NO reunion ever happens. Anything beyond Lindsey getting fired, and Christine dying is just pathetic. Please let it be over.

I hope so too. My opinion is that she doesn't identify as an artist anymore but more as an evening entertainer. I'm with you on Gold Dust Woman... that shaking head "dance" is actually offensive. What if there are addicts or recovering addicts in the audience?

Also I was bummed Fireflies was not on the 2018-2019 Tour setlist...doesn't matter that Lindsey wasn't on the tour, they still sang 3 of his songs, they could have sung Fireflies.

She told her audience every tour she asks Waddy if Gold Dust Woman can be dropped and he says No. I doubt that, she’s the boss and she loves doing those bizarre shakes that get the crowd going. GDW could be 7 minutes top live and she could do another song!

She's all about the big numbers that get the big audience response. She's continued to exploit Free Falling because it's one giant sing along that goes over really well. Now she'll exploit Christine's death for the next five years to pull on everyone's heart strings during landslide - making everyone forget just how overdone that song had become since 1997. Plus she's incapable of thinking of a different way to pay tribute to Christine, the lowest common denominator, the most obvious choice of all time is to use Landslide. That's all she gravitates towards these days. The most boring, expected, status quo decisions. But the entertainment writers love the nostalgic chatty grandma schtick that she's leaned so heavily into...

This is a really well thought out point. You're right. With the video wall behind her, she could do Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You, Sara or even Crystal!
Free Fallin' has been played every show since October 2018. Please give it up.

We all know why nobody spoke up!!! You wind up kicked out of the band. She's such an ego maniac she has no interest in the bands opinion. Plain and simple.

Haha…the real reason Lindsey was fired…
Not smirking, or chatting to Christine…No
He told her …your bum looks big when you do the artistic Crackhead dance.

I cringe and, also, think about the 'casual fan' who doesn't know about the drugs and the 'Go Insane' time-line in her life. They must be thinking, what the heck is this all about?
I also feel bad about the recovered addicts that just want to hear 'Dreams', 'Landslide', 'Sara', 'Sisters Of The Moon', or literally anything other than watch this! It disconnects her from her audience, instead of connecting with them. Please recreate the original Rumours version of 'Gold Dust Woman' with the beautifully haunting atmospheric American Indian, eske sound, that we love.
