However, comparing 1979-90 to 2018 is pretty disingenuous. Fleetwood Mac was a current, active band touring in support of multi-platinum albums. They’ve largely been an oldies band since 1994.

I inferred from Mick's 2017 interview where he mentioned talking to Stevie about the set for the next tour that they were going to explore doing songs that they (Rumours 5) hadn't done in a while, and by that I thought Stevie was speaking on selecting her songs. Stevie in an interview around that time spoke about insisting on doing different things for the next tour and spoke about going through each of the albums and searching for stuff to do.
But I don't think she really showed for it on the 18/19 tour. No Straight Back, Angel, Sara, Welcome to the Room, or Everybody Finds Out. Say You Will was on the 50 Don't Stop package too and that wasn't touched. But heck Gypsy and Storms, a 2009 staple, were done! I think the pre-FMFM focus was done for fun but also to help replace Lindsey songs too. I remember hearing Neil on the Sirius Channel in May 2018 saying how much of a big responsibility it was to him to sing Lindsey's songs. Too bad they only did Blue Letter once, and/or didn't try Oh Diane, Can't Go Back or Mystified. I actually think Can't Go Back and Family Man would've been good for Neil, instead of Crowded House and Split Enz stuff in the set. |

LBCM did better than 24KG and IYD in the United Kingdom. Stevie did press in London for IYD, but not 24. Chris did press for LBCM in June of 2017. |

However, there was zero chance DDIO wasn’t getting played. Part of the reason they brought on Neil and Mike is because they have legendary careers and have made legendary music. DDIO is Neil Finn’s biggest hit, and it’s one of the most recognizable hits of the ‘80s. They wouldn’t have gone to the trouble of getting him if he didn’t have anything to bring to the table in terms of publicity.

To me it's like if they asked Marky Mark to join FM, there would've been zero chance "Good Vibrations" wouldn't have been played. So part of the reason they brought on Neil and Mike was to play music that Neil and Mike made outside of FM and not to make a new FM song or songs to play live? |

I just have no interest in comparing numbers. If I love something, I don't care if I'm the ONLY person who buys it, and gets it. I care about my artist being financially successful, but beyond that, if I'm the only one who "gets it", I'm good with that. $tevie fans have always loved to push her numbers. I couldn't give a f*ck about numbers. It's about music that I personally enjoy.

OTOH, £ind$€¥ fans want to give him full credit for their superstardom. That’s when the numbers come into play. I also don’t especially care, but then I’ve never credited any single member for their superstardom. Truth be told, Stevie is probably eighth on my of Fleetwood Mac members (if I counted Neil and Mike on that list, which I don’t, since they haven’t done anything significant with them, yet, she’d be 10).

See? Wtf? A numbers pusher at their finest! Congrats. You have MASS BLIND TASTE. I'm certain your mother is proud. I was (made my way to) front row for BuckVie. It was a true highlight of my lifetime of FM adulation. If I'd been the only one there, I would have felt sorry for them, but still couldn't have been any happier. Btw, I think $tevie just farted. You'd better go try and find it on record!

Lindsey's anger about numbers is what got him kicked out of the band. Anger is a very ugly thing.

It's funny how you've been a fan for what, over 20+ years? yet your bar for them impressing you has sunk to the floor.

Mirrors can be as well. Use extreme caution when you're near one.
