I think the pre-B/N FM and the post B/N FM were just 2 completely different bands that happen to share the same name and a bassist and drummer. I also kind of think that, even with the talent, the PG era FM would have been relegated to a couple hits and a lot of virtuoso love ala Steve Vai if things had stayed the same. In any case, I know that Buckingham reached out to Stevie to make Buckingham/McVie another FM record and put a ton of money in everyone's pockets, (which Mick ALWAYS needs), but for whatever reason Stevie wouldn't do it, so they couldn't legally name it a "Fleetwood Mac" release. Jump to a year+ later and now Stevie wants to get out there and make some touring money, and Lindsey apparently just lost it. It was here say, but supposedly Lindsey was super pissed that Nicks can decide if and when the rest of the band get to make any serious FM money. He wanted to delay the tour by a year to show her she wasn't in charge of the band, and the rest of the band decided they'd rather tour than wait for him to come around. I saw the performance on Ellen, and was pretty underwhelmed. Could have been the setting though, and maybe it's a different beast in an arena.
