It's great to hear that Billy, Mick and Rick Vito are regrouping. That builds up hopes for a new album. What do you think are the chances that tunes like When the Sun Goes Down, I Got It In For You, Got No Home or Victim Of Love are getting played in concert?

I thought Rick left under bad circumstances? I think Chili knows the reason(straight from Rick), but has never shared it.
Has Chili not been here for awhile? I've not seen him for awhile.

He hasn't been on for over a week. I thought about posting a "Where is Chili?" thread but it seemed a little premature. Hopefully he'll come back soon.

Yeah, I really hope that there is a New England date sometime soon. Of course it will most likely be when I am traveling to see Lindsey.

It would be AMAZING to hear, When the Sun Goes Down. That is such a great song! I hope there will be more dates.

That having been said, I don't think it's too hard to imagine why he left. I seriously doubt it was just one thing. He seems to be a real family man, and Fleetwood Mac, at least in 1987-1990, was very demanding. And for what? One whole song (not even the great song), three co-writing credits, and no singles? Then, the girls were out, so how successful were future ventures really going to be? Rick could make more money touring as a sideman with Bonnie Raitt or Bob Seeger. Finally, there was, according to Stevie (during her bad period, so to be take with a grain of salt), the whole "Silver Springs" thing, and Rick was firmly in Stevie's corner. Just looking at things from Rick's POV, staying in that band would have been very difficult. In the end, even if he left under bad circumstances, everybody associated with that band seems to be able to move on, if they so choose. I mean, look at how Stevie and Lindsey left, and their comments about the band made after they left. Hell, Bob Weston was in Lindsey's "Trouble" video! Forgiveness and healing are as much a part of Fleetwood Mac as is predictable set lists.
