Little time for the rest of 'em..vacuity personified.
Note that they've also got a random playing acoustic at the back, so effectively they've replaced LB with 3 people this time...
Don't stop? Maybe they should
The live show will miss his solo version of "Big Love", IIRC he played that then went into Landslide with just Buckingham/Nicks, that section was really a highlight of the show for me.
It's not really bolstering talent though, just filling out the sound and covering multiple parts that were overdubbed on the records.
It's funny how bands only ever seem to need extra on-stage guitarists, keyboardists, percussionists and backing vocalists when they're old and past it.
When they're young and energetic they seem to manage just fine with the people who are actually in the band.

Quite surprised to see Marcus Brigstocke lurking around on rhythm guitar, though...
It sounds like one of those encores where a band bring on a couple of famous guests and jam their way through someone else's song that none of them really know very well.
It's just a muddled mess. Neil Finn isn't too bad, but Mike Campbell trying to ape Lindsey's soloing is just atrocious - especially given how great a player he is when he's doing his own thing. John McVie even fluffed the famous bass break, and what has happened to his sound?

LB certainly puts his own spin on the story when he tells his side.
In the case of what became Say You Will, Buckingham was working on a solo album. At some point, he decided to have Fleetwood and McVie guest on a couple of songs. Next thing, somebody suggested combining LB's half-finished album with Christine and/or Stevie's half-finished compositions and putting the whole thing out under the Mac name to maximise sales.
Somewhere along the line, it will have become apparent that some LB songs were suitable for the Mac audience and others were too far into leftfield. The result - two albums. Say You Will and The Gift Of Screws, respectively.
In hindsight, it is obvious that combining all of the material into a double album would have resulted in a sort of Tusk II - something Buckingham used to say that he wanted to avoid.
Ironically, taking the better songs from each of the above-mentioned albums might have resulted in something decent. (Or not, as you may think.)
