And now that I have immersed myself in all their back catalogue I must say: Nick Seymour is a fine bassist. Very melodic and inventive.
Not sure whether Herr Finn is doing himself a favor with this Fleetwood Mac tour joinder though ...
He does a fine job (and his voice doesn't sound out of place with the Macs), but replacing someone as mercurial and intense - and at the same time: gifted and utterly idiosyncratic - as Buckingham is an impossible and thankless task. Buckingham can probably drive you mad if you have him around all the time, but there is an absolutely mesmerizing "taut rubber band, will it snap?"-characteristic to his on stage artistry (not to mention how he plays guitar like no one does and sings with a voice that is neither male nor female) that cannot be replicated or matched by anyone.
That said, Stevie doesn't do a bad job with Crowded House songs:
Allegedly, she gave the band an ultimatum, "
it's either me or Lindsey ..." and the others acquiesced, but if that is true then that is like saying Art was more important than Paul in Simon & Garfunkel.
