Of course seeing the whole band in its flesh was great too.

Let them rest up and we see what is up their sleeves and what direction they go in time. Remember this is FM.

My only gripe is they did not play "Hold Me".

I was really hoping for Hold Me. Especially after those "leaks" we got before the tour. I remember an article (I can't remember which publication it was from) that said Hold Me was in their set because they interviewed them for the article at a rehearsal. So they might have rehearsed Hold Me, but decided to cut it. If they do a farewell tour in 2017, which I really hope they do, I hope they have Sara and Hold Me on the set. Those are my two favorite songs.

Yes I agree.I love Sara too.I dont remember either of what source that said "Hold Me" was in the setlist.Maybe somebody else remembers.

Now we need the stats of numbers of this tour.Total cash that came in ,Attendance numbers and more . It should be interesting and mind blowing. .I know it boring for others here but it must be the geek in me.LOL.

Was it 3 or 4 shows that they cancelled out plus the show Mick got sick at.

In an issue of Rolling Stone there was a picture of the board they were using to put together a setlist. Hold Me appeared in that photo as part of the set. Sadly it did not make it to the stage. Maybe next time! I'm hoping Storms comes back...I missed Unleashed and really regret that.

Well at least Hold Me got some attention from the band. It's good to know that it was at least considered. It could have been a huge hit for this tour if Christine or Lindsey introduced it properly. Something like "this was the first single from the Mirage album, it was a big hit back in the 80s and we hope you still like it." Or "we haven't played this song in over 30 years but now we can with Christine back."

Hold Me is my favorite song and the one I most want to hear live. Now that they've done Think About Me it gives me some hope that they might try Hold Me again. My second choice is Isn't It Midnight. I would love to hear a live version of Isn't It Midnight with Lindsey. It would be the perfect high-energy song to play just before Go Your Own Way in the set list.

Would be great if they get their faces on the tube or flat screen as they call them today and perform .Show up on the Macy's Thanksgiving parade and sing Sleigh Ride and which is probably to late to get into it and they are just to pooped to do it.,Dick Clark's New Years Rock n Eve.Do a Mac on Ice as ice dancers dance to Mac tunes as they play live on the set.My imagination is up and running.LOL...............

They were only on the tube to perform a year ago on the Today show as I remember.

Although Macless, I'm pretty sure they will re-air
The Stevie Nicks Blue Christmas ABC TV Special 2009
again this year.

I figured by now we'd have that on Blu ray.

I have no expectations of the musical-future of this band.

I doubt it they will tour on the scale again. Maybe Stevie en Lindsey will make another solo-album and tour the US only (it's been 26 years ago a solo Stevie performed in Europe and cannot even remember did Lindsey so). Cannot afford flying to the US, so I think I saw them for the last time this summer.

Saw them two nights in a row in Amsterdam and a week later in Antwerp as well. Both nights in Amsterdam quite upfront. Rock concerts in Holland are general admission for 99% of the times, so I was early both nights and had a blast.

Highlights: Lindsey's guitarplaying and hearing and seeing Christine McVie behind the grand piano playing Songbird (twice! They skipped it in Antwerp).

Special release this year in fashionable DVD-A format.

secondhandchain · #27 11-22-2015, 01:26 PM

Would love to hear about their last night. Any interesting speeches? Any clues as to the future? Were they emotional?

They probably won't tour like this again with all five, though you never know with FM. We were perhaps very lucky to get Christine back at all as nobody thought she would return. But if this is the last round, it's the best note they can go out on - with all five, still playing to good crowds and getting good reviews. Remarkable achievement. Getting back to the Rumours lineup is like good closure for them, after everything else that has happened.

I do expect that Stevie will continue solo for awhile yet and the others will continue to reunite now and then.

Just found this video of Mick and Stevie at LAX. Supposedly this was Tuesday.
