Hi Mick, you guys are great and Bob Welch was a big part of your success. Your fans would appreciate your support in getting Bob inducted into the Hall of Fame. Bob's era with the band deserves recognition. Thanks for all of the years of great music!

Just read that Christine McVie would like to rejoin Fleetwood Mac. She retired in 1998 & no one has ever thought she would want to go back (did not like the travel). She did play a one-off with band back in Sep & that seems to have given her the bug.

Would be soooo cool to see band with her (as they now rarely ever play her songs).

Saw them perform last weekend in St. Louis! (with Christine McVie) I went in thinking the show was going to be so-so, with all the hits. But boy, was I more than blown away. Every member put in more than their 100 percent in the show. They did pretty much every hit from their classic era (1976-87), and just about every song from 'Rumours'. Mick Fleetwood can still bang the drums and go crazy at the same time! Much of the attention was focused on Christine McVie, who 'retired' from the group 16 years back, but she was glad to be part of the band again. All 3 of the vocalists were great. Definitely one of the greatest concerts I've attended in a while!

I'm not go as far as saying I'm a Fleetwood Mac fan, but I know what makes them great and respectable in rock and roll. Their music still gets played on several radio stations because they fit into that category along with a few other groups from that era (the Eagles, Chicago, etc). The average person can at least name 5 songs from them, because their music is timeless. And let's not forget the struggles within the band, which arguably made them more successful at the same time. I do like all of their songs, even some off the panned 'Tusk' album. Heck I even like a few before the Buckingham/Nicks era.

Wow, Jason! Glad you got to see them. With Christie, too. Sure want to see them someday.

Hope to see you at Bonnaroo.

I would add Then Play On (1969) as an essential album for Fleetwood Mac. Also they have a few essential tunes from that era: Black Magic Woman, Albatross, Man Of The World, Oh Well and Green Manalishi.

RIP Peter Green :(

Rest in Peace Peter Green, 1946-2020. (It bears repeating.)

The passing of Peter Green prompted me to order a Fleetwood Mac boxset C.D. which covers their career from start to finish, covering all aspects of both Green and Buckingham/Nicks years. I hope it arrives soon. Also I believe John gets nowhere near enough love as a bassist. He is wonderful and truly the backbone of the band.

I just realized how much Belinda Carlisle and Stevie Nicks sound alike.

I can hear Stevie Nicks singing Belinda Carlisle songs in the 80s: Mad About You, Heaven Is A Place On Earth, I Get Weak, Circle In The Sand, Leave A Light On For Me, and I can hear Belinda Carlisle singing Stevie Nicks songs in the 80s: Edge Of Seventeen, Stand Back, I Can't Wait, Talk To Me, Rooms On Fire.

Fleetwood Mac could have performed Our Lips Are Sealed, and The Go-Go's could have performed Gypsy.

To me, the greatest member of the Mac. Deepest condolences to her family.

If this holds, it's sad but predictable. https://datebook.sfchronicle.com/music/mick-fleetwood-on-fleetwood-mac-were-done

Some of the others you can replace, but a Christine McVie. How do you replace her? Plus they're all getting old. Time to enjoy those giant piles of money!
