Great small venue.
Yes you re right she might mix it up…I hope she does.
Are you thinking of going ?

Yes to London! I would like to have seen Fleetwood Mac in that arena. I listened to a recording of a wonderful Bruce Springsteen concert there from 2013.

Was the Fleetwood Mac show there very good?

She is like 76. This will probably be her last tour

She's addicted to it. She'll go until she can't. It's her "family"

I just had a flashback to Patti Caldwell.

Since OSOTM was her highest charting solo album in the UK and Europe, she should play the entire album for them.

Two Kinds of Love with her vocal coach or Waddy! Did it chart at #3 in The United Kingdom?

The show was very good very professional great sound.
I had seen video of previous shows so I knew what was coming…..but my husband who is not a big fan thought even 8 years ago they were going through the motions.
We sat on Lindsey’s side so that was great…we missed Silver Springs the last encore song ( we had to race to catch last bus back to Halifax) ..
So I cried all the way back….
Would I go and see them …yes I would, will I go and see Stevie…No.

That's fair. I don't think this will be her last tour. Darlene Love, Debbie Harry, Dionne Warwick, Cher, Diana Ross, Gladys Knight, Patti Smith, and Patti LaBelle still tour and they're in their LATE 70s or 80s. It may be her final European Tour but I'd bet she'll do Isle of Wight or Glastonbury before she retires as a one-off.

Silver Springs is great but that's probably the best example of going through the motions

I think Christine stopped playing Songbird on the Europe leg because her hand was hurting her.

Did you go to Wembley Stadium for the 2019 concert?

Christine did play Songbird July 2015 …Lindsey came out to accompany her.
No I didn’t go to Wembley 2019…I wouldn’t want to see them without Lindsey (well not after what happened in 2018).

I can’t see Stevie doing Glastonbury…I would like to be wrong.
She would fit the Legends spot on the Sunday afternoon…Shania Twain is doing it this year..but I think Stevie would ask too large a fee.
Yusuf/Cat Stevens did it last year and was wonderful…

What sets most of them apart is they still have artistic integrity.

If she tours Europe, Australia, and New Zealand this year and does the Free Fallin/Buffalo Springfield setlist, that would really be depressing for me as a fan. 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.
