Prerecords
Some interesting quotes from Taku shed some light on one thing that drove me crazy about Lindsey and was likely a factor in his firing.

what it shows to me is how the inner workings of the band have been going -- Stevie deciding what she wants /what she thinks the band should do, telling Mick, and getting him to make it happen for her.
Her whole "I am NOT the boss of this band" is hilarious. |
^^^Only that her wish makes sense, every other member of the band was on board with it and it is the right thing to do for a band that works almost exclusively as a live band for decades. it also pleases the fans, who don't want to get cheated on with canned music.
Stevie probably just put into words what everyone was thinking. |

:laugh::laugh::laugh: Seriously…. how many times Lindsey has said to many of us during his M&G (including you and me) that "it was all Stevie"? Next thing we know, Lori and Sharon were the reason Lindsey was fired…. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: I highly doubt Lindsey didn't want Taku on the band. Stevie herself said "she didn't want to be on the same stage with Lindsey anymore", hence she made Mick fired him. Were Taku fit in all this, I have no idea. But hey, it was fun! :wavey: |
:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: so now Lindsey was fired because he would not allow to get rid of pre-recorded tracks?? right..........
seriously though, the Taku story explains his loyalty to SN and his glowing praises to the band that toured last year in his social media posts. plus, it's not like Taku has not ditched Lindsey in the past, during UTS tour when he got better gig. |

Much as I have no use for what this band did to Lindsey, I have to admit I hate the prerecorded crap that had gotten well over the top in recent years. It was one of the main reasons I had no use in going to see Buckingham McVie also.
They lost any sense of spontaneity and things became way too programmed. |

sounds like Taku's info about that came from Stevie. and we know she's all about never trashing Lindsey. :rolleyes: and, how is now Lindsey's fault if Mick didn't want a percussionist over the years? Lindsey didn't really want backup singers in FM as far as we can tell, yet they were always there. |

in Neil Finn fan groups, many said how Neil was so stifled and boring in Fleetwood Mac's pre-programmed non-spontaneous shows. how he felt tied down and how they hated seeing him like that and they couldn't wait for him to go back to being his free self. that all said, i do think that old rich bands like Fleetwood Mac who are making millions and can more than afford it should use and pay live musicians if they cannot perform their music on their own anymore, and not having anything pre-programmed. so if they did this tour, i'm really glad. at least something positive! |
The least talented people are in charge of the band.

If you read between the lines, it also says that Stevie controls Mick.

Just for fun, I'm going to say that the event Taku mentioned he was approached by SN at in 2018 was MusiCares Person of the Year event. He was on stage playing in the tribute performances before Fleetwood Mac did their mini-set. I think Don Was and Kenny Aronoff may've also been in the tribute performances band too.
