Okay, since it is a dream setlist, here's what I'd like to hear:

1) Big Love - Not the acoustic version...a full on version like on TITN. Someone suggested this on another board months ago, and as soon as I saw it, I thought it could be the next best opener after The Chain. (which I'm leaving out of this set!) After this, they launch immediately into:
2)Long Distance Winner - This could rock. And I want to hear Lindsey's guitar work at the end. After the welcome...
3) Dreams
4) Miranda
5) Gold Dust Woman
6) What Makes You Think You're The One
7) Rhiannon
8) Eyes of the World
9) Thrown Down
10) Shuffle Riff (with a different title, of course)
**Break for Acoustic Set**
11) Down on Rodeo
12) Space Needle
13) Never Going Back Again
14) Gypsy (like AHI 2000)
**End Acoustic Set**
15) Tango in the Night/I'm So Afraid - with Tango leading directly into ISA
16) Storms
17) Second Hand News
18) Smile At You
19) World Turning (Stevie singing Chris' parts)
20) Go Your Own Way

Encores:
21) Sisters of the Moon
22) Come
23) Frozen Love
24) Say Goodbye

They all leave, then Stevie & Lindsey return for
25) Landslide

I resisted the urge to include solo songs, just to keep the list down. Whatever the setlist turns out to be, I'm going to love it...

:laugh:

~~Angela~~:wavey:

Thank you!! Finally! lol After all, this is a.....FLEETWOOD MAC concert!! :D That's a good setlist, it never crossed my mind that they could end on Landslide...DUH! And Tango, segue, ISA, wow! Another goodie! Kinda like Oh Well into Green Manalishi on the White Album tour...
-Brian

I know, right? As much as I enjoy Go Insane and Stand Back, and would love to hear something like Sorcerer or Planets or Say We'll Meet Again, I'd prefer a straight on Mac show. Because who knows when we'll get another?

As for Tango/ISA, I read somewhere that Tango came about from LB playing ISA. They just seem like a natural fit. (I really wish we could hear Tango live!)

Mike B.

Mine is a dream list like everyone else's but here goes. (This is not counting the new songs):

The Chain
Dreams
Don't Let Me Down Again
Landslide
Save Me a Place
Crystal
I'm So Afraid
Gold Dust Woman
What Makes You Think You're The One

What I call the Rhiannon part of the show
Sisters of the Moon
Three Birds of Rhiannon (hey, it might be on the new album)
Rhiannon

Go Insane
Angel
Eyes of the World
Station Man (like it was done on the '75 tour)
Gypsy
Monday Morning
Fireflies
Never Going Back Again
Storms
Second Hand News
Seven Wonders
Not That Funny
Beautiful Child
Go Your Own Way
Tusk
Don't Stop (with Stevie and Lindsey alternating leads)

Encore one
Silver Springs

Encore two
Stevie comes to the piano and does Songbird (I know alot of you will disagree with me since it is not Chris doing it, but what is a FM concert without Songbird towards the end? I can actually hear Stevie singing it and think it would sound great!)

And just when we think Stevie will leave the stage and the night is over, the lights come on and Linsdsey, John, and Mick are there and they surprise us with Sara!!!


This was fun! It will never happen but it was fun!!

Nightbird - We can only keep hoping for Sara, right!?!?

As for Songbird, I just don't see Stevie singing it. Besides, I think there are so many songs of Stevie's that we never hear live, I think I'd rather hear her do one of them. I'm thinking Storms maybe, or really ANYTHING from Tusk.

They just HAVE to do "Sara"!!!!

I'll be really disappointed if they don't.


However, I would totally DIE if they did "Storms". I waited to see that song live my whole life!

Dream set list
 

My dream set list . . . talk about a pipe dream:

Bwana
If You Ever Did Believe
World Turning
Cocaine
September Song
You & I Part 1
Can't Go Back
Angel
Monday Morning
Sable on Blonde
It Ain't Me, Babe
Sweet Girl
What Are You Doing in My Life?
That's All for Everyone
Hot Fun in the Summertime
Twilight on the Trail

Perfect set for Mac . . . perfect show!

Re: The Chain????;)
 

Hey chiliD!
Thanks, though my list is quite long. I wouldn't mind if they played for ten hours of their life at a show! I didn't realize the acoustic set would mainly just be Stevie and Lindsey. And of course I had to add Lola. Now that would be something to hear live. Hell they couldn't play the whole B/N album and I would be fine! If Christine were still with the MAC, then I would have added so many pre-S/L songs like Homeward Bound, Spare Me a Little, Station Man, Why, Just CRazy Love, Believe Me...etc! Oh I can dream!

-April:)

If I REALLY had my way...
 

Ok, dependent on mental health & litigation issues being solved.

(the house lights go out...loud cricket noises come out of the PA system...a tall thin long-haired person walks toward the center stage mic)

(in a British growl) "HOWYADOIN, PITTSBURGH!!! I'm Dave Walker, I used to sing with these people for a short time back in 1973, so will you PLEASE GIVE A WARM
PITTSBURGH WELCOME TO....FLEEEEEEETWOOOOOOOD MAC!!"

(all leave stage....stage left empty & dark with tiny blue, swirling lights...cricket noises come up in the PA...after about 15 minutes...sillouetted people start taking places on stage as the stage backdrop starts to brighten in an imitation sunrise...to the surprise of EVERYone the lineup is Mick, John, Christine, Lindsey, Peter, Stevie & DANNY KIRWAN!)

Sunny Side Of Heaven
Station Man (Lindsey, Stevie & Chris handle the vocals, Danny & Lindsey trade riffs on the solos)
(Lindsey, Stevie & Chris leave...Peter & Danny kick into one of their instrumentals...)

World In Harmony

(all leave stage again...stage gets dark again, yet with pale dark neon lights around the perimeter...a giant ROCK-OLA Jukebox rolls out as backdrop behind Mick's drumkit...an off stage '50's DJ type announcer comes on.."Ladies & Gentlemen, for the first time in 30 years EARL VINCE & THE VALIANTS!!!" Out comes Mick, John, Peter Green, Rick Vito, Billy Burnette, Christine McVie...they launch into...)

Roll With Me Henry
(w/Christine & Billy sharing the vocals)

Only You Know & I Know

(joined by Rick Vito, Bob WESTON, & Lindsey)
All Along The Watchtower

(EVERYBODY comes out on the stage...Christine starts playing the piano with a waltz beat...)

All Over Again

(a special arrangement...with a chorus of background vocals that seem to go on forever...."Doooo It, Allll Ovvvvvver Again" building in intensity, sutble yet intricate guitar-army bits by Lindsey, the two Bobs, Rick, Peter, Nigel, Dave Mason, & slide parts by Jeremy, Danny & Billy strum Everly Bros type jumbo acoustic guitars...the crescendo ends suddenly, with Christine playing solo and singing, 'I'd do it all over again'...then launching all by herself into..)

Songbird

(while all the folks on stage sway, arms around each other, the crowd as a whole whip out their Bic Lighters and sway with the band)

(at song's end, not a dry eye in the house, either in the seats or on stage....group bows & waves, Stevie, Bekka & Chris collect bouquets & stuffed animals from the front of the stage, the guys shake hands and wave...takes about 15 minutes for everyone to leave the stage. Houselights go up, original recording of Oh Well, Part 2 blasts over PA...the crowd buzzes as they leave the venue in an orderly fashion)

Bob Brunning writes a review of the show and includes anecdotes about the backstage goings on…includes photos & publishes as a book.





*************************************************


SkyLark,

They opened their set with "The Chain" on the Tango & Behind The Mask tours without Lindsey; and on the Time tour with a whole new cast of characters...that they're only missing Christine from the Rumours doesn't mean, to me anyway, that "the chain is broken"...as long as there's a Fleetwood Mac, the chain just keeps adding, subtracting & changing links, but never BREAKING them! :)

Changing the Links!!!
 

:wavey: Hi chiliD...Musical Lexicon Man!!!;)

You are so right...I see your point about breaking up
The Chain...in other words they just Keep Fixing IT!:D

You... have me gasping for breathe and dreaming about
F. Mac!!! I'd definitely have to make it to your concert!;)
Iam not toooo far from Pittsburgh...this is so exciting !!!

I especially like the Guitar Army idea at the very end!:cool:
I can already hear Christine's piano with J&L on acoustic!
My intuition tells me she may be on board!Sniff!!Sniff!!!:eek:

Reserve me a copy of the Bob Brunning Scandal Book! hehe!
Good one Steve!Your the best! Thanks for a fun post! Luv, Sky:)

Hey chiliD,
how I would love to be your FM concert in Pittsburgh! Every possible incarnation of FM playing together at one show would be freakin' awesome!
I'd stage dive off Mick's drumset just to see them play!

-April:)
