Did you hear about him. He had some kind of heart surgery and it messed up his vocal cord. They dont know if its permanent.
It happen like last week. I had no idea heart surgery can mess up your vocal cord.

It will be weird without him but I will say they picked a perfect replacement in Mike Campbell from the Heartbreakers . Vocally it will be very different but Mike’s guitar style fits perfectly . He’s a beast .
Mike Campbell plays the guitar in Boys of Summer by Don Henley....one of my all time faves.
Mike is without a doubt one of the most underrated guitarist of all time . He’s just such a tasteful player . Never does anything crazy , just finds the perfect part for the song . Didn’t know he played on Boys of Summer, that’s awesome .
Great show. I was a bit disappointed that i didnt hear every song i wanted to but the show would have gone on all night if they played everything. Stevie still has some pep in her step to be 70. Mick is still a kid at heart with seemingly boundless energy.
Good to reminisce.

Thoroughly enjoyed the show. Was hesitant without LBuckingham, but it was worth it. (I’m a big Buckingham fan going back to the 70s.
This is what my 13 yr old wanted for Christmas, and LBs absence was a big debate for him as well.
We both agreed it was good show.
Even enjoyed the crowded house song.
One of the surprise highlight was the cover of Free Falling.
Good crowd. Good show. Would do it again.

Ok, so here is a subject I can speak to. Great points on Mike Campbell, aka my favorite guitar player. Totally underrated. Oddly enough I have always felt the same about Lindsey Buckingham being underrated. Mike C. got to show off a little bit more in the MOJO album. Check this clip out- classic Mike Campbell. Picks up a slide & plays with it a while at about the 1:55 mark, and later they break it down around the 2:35 mark and Mike goes off.
It might have had more to do with her being trashed and barely able to stand up, as I remember the set was fairly short!
Good one Steve, can't believe I haven't seen that one. You know what album that's on?
I like his solo show better anyway, it’s cheap and you can pay a little more for a meet and greet. This tour he had a full rock band. Last time it was just Buckingham on acoustic, which he can make sound like two guitars.
In a short span in maybe 1980, the paramedics were called to Henley’s house twice for teenage prostitutes who had overdosed. One was 15, one was 16.
I remember how trashed she was...kept going on and off stage.
I had the biggest teenage crush on Stevie Nicks in the 70's. Cute face, unbelievable voice, long flowing dresses and the hypnotic dancing.
WOW !!! That was wild . Yeah I think Mike C and Gary Moore are the two most underrated players of all time . Can’t get enough of both of them . I got to see Eric Johnson for the first time live a few months ago . Had front row seats and it was Mindblowing . Always say that Jeff Beck was the best I ever saw live when we was touring with Vinny C, and Tal but EJ was a close second !! Both those guys make me wanna go home and throw all my guitars away (which would make my wife extremely happy).
The album is MOJO. Another good tune on that album is "Something Good Coming". This is the first album with Ron Blair back full time on bass.
Only time I got to see them live was at Charlie B's Ranch Arena not far from where I-85 crosses over into Georgia. Middle of a cow pasture with huge, diesel-powered generators. Before Buckingham & Nicks joined. The late Bob Welch was lead guitarist. Mick Fleetwood played a LONG drum solo. Just past dusk, it had started to rain, & one the generators powering the lights had gone out leaving some partial illumination of the back of the stage. A surreal experience at age 12 that has stuck with one now (almost) 59!!
Any surgery can mess up your vocal cords. I replaced a knee and couldn't talk or sing right for about 3 months. Assume it was from the intubation.
