Your ideal Mac setlist?
I was looking through the archives and saw a similar thread, so I thought I would make a new one for all the newer ledgies like me. Basically choose 22 songs that would make up your dream concert :thumbsup:
Here's mine: The set up is this is their farewell tour, no more solo, it's the end of it all. :shocked: (but that will never happen right? right?!?!?) The Chain Big Love (full band) Miranda Straight Back Go Insane Frozen Love Sara --acoustic break-- Twisted Gypsy Sorcerer (Buckingham Nicks style) Beautiful Child -- Fireflies (Christine joins now :rolleyes:) Outside The Rain (oh yes :]) Hold Me Think About Me Trouble Thrown Down Long Distance Winner The Ledge --encore-- Tango In The Night Sisters Of The Moon Never Forget |
Tough one!
Second Hand News Dreams Sugar Daddy Big Love (Full band) Butter Cookie (Keep Me There) I Don't Want To Know Bleed To Love Her Gypsy The Challenge Stand Back Tango In The Night Brown Eyes Slow Dancing Skies The Limit Running Through The Garden Save Me The Ledge Fireflies ----- Little Lies Crystal Blue Letter ----- Songbird |
ohh this is such a great question! Mine is a bit weird, but here goes:
1. The Chain 2. Outside the Rain/Dreams 3. Gold Dust Woman 4. Frozen Love 5. Rhiannon - wishful thinking...Rosebud style-ish? 6. Slow Dancing (Lindsey/Stevie action??) 7. Brown Eyes (Chris intro!!) 8. Fireflies 9. Everybody Finds Out 10. Love Will Show Us How 11. Big Love (FULL BAND!!) 12. Go Your Own Way 13. Stand Back 14. Isn't it Midnight 15. Landslide - electric guitar intro to Twisted 16. Don't Stop 17. COVER TIME!!!!!! "California Dreamin' (We finally get to relive the moment Lindsey and Stevie met!) 18. Silver Springs ENCORE: 1.Sisters of the Moon 2. Miranda -----this is where Lindsey goes to the mic and goes "I'd like to invite the most beautiful, amazing, fan in the world to the stage: Miranda!" And he dedicates the song to me..hehe 3. Crystal 4. Say Goodbye |
I actually couldn't cut mine down anymore (especially if this was the last time we'd ever see them!!!) I know there's quite a big part in the middle which is very Stevie orientated and realistically her voice couldn't cope with it i think but sure we can all dream ...
Not necessarily in this full order but relativley close !!!! The Chain Crying in the Night – (electric version) Sorcerer (Buckingham Nicks style) Thrown Down ------------------------------------------ Big Love (full band) Gold Dust Woman (Where we get a “an go hoooooomeee” - like in the Dance) Gold and Braid (Stevie in the white platforms and the tambourine – her and Christine could dance together) lol ------------------------------------------- Sara (extended version) Think about It Beautiful Child Angel Bella Donna (recruit Roy Bittan – him and Christine tinkling the Ivories!!! Lol) -------------------------------------------- Little Lies Seven Wonders Isn’t it midnight -------------------------------------------- Rhiannon (like back in the good old days of Midnight Special or in Stevie’s live in Chicago dvd) Sisters of The Moon World Turning Go your Own Way - Encore - Storms Crystal (Buckingham Nicks style only they share the vocals) Leather and Lace (Stevie and Lindsey (forget Don) Silver Springs (Dance style where you can feel the tension in their stares at one another) |
The Chain
Say You Love Me That's Alright Book of Love Woman of 1000 Years Steal Your Heart Away Oh Well Angel(Stevie's, not Bob's) Why Albatross I Don't Want To Know Green Manalishi Don't Stop Can't Go Back You Make Loving Fun The Ledge Emerald Eyes Think About Me Save Me A Place Hold Me Monday Morning Hypnotized |
I separated Stevie and Christine into their own sections so I could have a moment over each of them :D
Everywhere Go Your Own Way Sara World Turning (Chris shaking her maracas ;)) My Little Demon Green Manalishi --------------------------------------- Gypsy Gold Dust Woman (With those Paris '77 wails) Edge of Seventeen (Christine and Stevie both singing with Liddy on guitar) Beautiful Child Landslide Rhiannon (Stevie goes slightly nuts and all 'Taken back, taken by the sky''s are replaced with 'dreams unwind, love's a state of mind') --------------------------------------- I Want You (Another Stevie and Chris duet) Over My Head Brown Eyes Isn't it Midnight Butter Cookie --------------------------------------- Oh Diane (Full Band) Seven Wonders Monday Morning Say You Love Me Tango in the Night --------------------------------------- Encore (Which will happen whether the crowd want it or not, It's MY dream, right? :p) Don't Stop The Ledge Songbird The Chain |
That's hard, but I'll give it a try !
The Chain Say You love me Everywhere Gold Dust Woman What Makes you think you're the one? Over my head --- Acoustic pause, big one : Landslide Never Going Back Again Gypsy Crystal (Lindsey singing, Stevie doing harmonies) HONEY HI (absolutely !) --- Back to rock n' roll : You make loving fun Oh Well Angel Beautiful Child Oh Daddy Rhiannon --- Ending with : Tango in the Night Isn't it midnight Go your own way Stand Back Tusk Blue Letter. Would have had The Ledge, Hold Me, Thrown Down, Songbird, Little Lies, Brown eyes, Seven Wonders, Edge of Seventeen...and a lot more, but it wouldn't be ONE concert anymore... |
In no particular order...
Long Distance Winner Crying In The Night That's Alright Thrown Down Running Through The Garden Twisted I Don't Wanna Know Crystal Sisters Of The Moon Angel Straight Back Leather and Lace Tango In The Night Big Love (full band) Steal Your Heart Away Miranda Can't Go Back Oh Diane The Ledge That's Enough For Me Don't Let Me Down Again My Little Demon Make Me A Mask Trouble |
Monday Morning
The Chain Dreams Everywhere Gold Dust Woman I'm So Afraid Sara Second Hand News Never Going Back Again Gypsy Big Love Go Insane Landslide Say You Love Me You Make Loving Fun Silver Springs Over My Head Rhiannon Go Your Own Way World Turning Tusk Don't Stop Song Bird |
This is my setlist:
(In Order) Intro Everywhere - Only McVie on stage Big Love - Only Buck on stage Outside the Rain - Only Stevie on stage This was a neat way to personally introduce each member to the audience. The Chain Dreams Over my head Don't Stop Can't go back Fireflies Frozen Love continues into... Sisters of the Moon McVie amazes the audience with some classical music. Brown Eyes Classical Rhiannon/Rock Rhiannon Sara Gypsy Gold Dust Woman Second Hand News Tusk Go insane Little Lies Go Your Own Way Say You Love Me Stephanie/Django Landslide Oh Diane Extra Long, Team Based rendition of Hold Me Encore Silver Springs Over and Over Beautiful Child Crystal Songbird |
I've thought about this only a little, so this is rather preliminary in a way... still, I'd probably never settle on anything, knowing me! :laugh: Also, I'm cutting out Christine (it brings tears to my eyes is all... Stevie singing "Say You Love Me" nearly made me break down at the concert! :laugh: Not that Stevie wasn't anything less than wonderful - it's just that I miss Christine... :(). Anyway...
(Full band, all songs) Big Love Seven Wonders Caroline Tango In The Night Straight Back Gypsy Sara Not That Funny I Know I'm Not Wrong Sisters Of The Moon Storms Gold Dust Woman Second Hand News Monday Morning I'm So Afraid Landslide Rhiannon Extended Encore Dreams The Chain Go Your Own Way Silver Springs Second Encore Tusk Yeah, actually, that's pretty much perfect I think! :D |

This is my idea for the final mac shows. One in north america, one in europe. Christine joins the band again, as the iconic 5 members close the book on Fleetwood Mac.
The concert starts in absolute silence. A large video screen starts a 10 second countown much like in a silent, or home movie. The studio version of world turning plays as old video from the pre-rumours days plays. We are journying thru the history of fleetwood mac. Thunderous applause erupts when Christine, Stevie, and Lindsay, are shown joining the band. the clips begin to speed up, while the music gets louder. We move thru rumours, tusk, and mirage within 20 seconds. this montage continues with stevie solo, tango in the night, lindsay leaves the band, the shake the cage tour, the dance, say you will, and unleashed. The clips now at a blinding speed, and the music near-deafening, both cut off abruptly. A single spotlight shines down on the stage, illuminating buckingham. He screams out "looking out for looooove", and the band lauches into the full band version of Big Love, as the stage lights explode with dazzling light. Stevie and Lindsay do the infamous grunting, but in a way that makes it seem as if they are fighting. The song ends, and the concert continues. Big Love(full band) Say You Love Me(three part harmonies) Gold Dust Woman(with snippet of sisters of the moon) Not that Funny Gypsy Everywhere acoustic section: Crystal Never Going Back Again Second Hand news(Stevie Sings) Hold Me Landslide return to electric instruments Rhiannon Go Your Own Way You Make Lovin Fun Sara Monday Morning Don't Stop. Encore: The band leaves the stage while a deep ambient sound plays in the background. The sound of a heartbeat emerges from the distance. This encore showcases the talents of each member in an intense, energy filled sequence. The Chain:represents the band as a whole, and the ties that bind them. John's bass solo is extended, and the second half of the song is his show case. This segues into an elaborate percussion sequence, where each member is playing a percussive instrument, leading to... Tusk: obviously mick's showcase, and matches his manic personality perfectly. Im' so Afraid: Buckingham gets his catharsis out of the way. Little Lies:extended version, where Christine rocks out, and smashes her synth in the process. exclaims "i've got blisters on me fingers!" Edge of Seventeen:10 minute version ala soundstage, height of energy of the concert. At the end, the stage is engulfed in white confetti, while stevie lets loose a scream, followed by a "stand-back" kick. The band all gathers by their microphones, sing songbird acapella style, and wave a bittersweet farewell to fleetwood mac. |

can i tell you, that as i was reading this i was imagining it in my head and then i started to cry.....i would absolutely love for this to happen, but what an intense ending to Fleetwood Mac...ending..i can't believe i just said that. But the whole video montage, "BIG LOVE" thing...genius. |
The Chain
I Want You (from Go Insane, alarm clock included) That's Alright Hold Me Dreams (acoustic, with Stevie playing guitar) Cast Away Dreams Thrown Down Down Endless Street Outside the Rain Tango in the Night Big Love (album version) Sisters of the Moon Rhiannon Caroline Come Sweet Girl Frozen Love Angel Goodbye Angel Then Christine steps out one last time to sing Songbird. |

Anyway, the reason that the encore/showcase section is so intense, is because IF(a very big if) this was the final shows of FM, it would be Stevie, Lindsay, and Christine's last chance to express their emotions toward each other on stage. Their FINAL chance to have a "silver springs" moment. The theme of the setlist is uncovering this "emotion" as the band plays songs from various periods of their career. By the time they reach the encores, this emotion has been fully revealed, and the audience is face to face with the raw, unleashed fleetwood mac. This pain reaches apex with the "coming-of-age" of Edge of Seventeen. Like the songs protagonist, FM must leave behind the past, and enter a new, uncertain future. When the song ends, we are hit with the full impact of all of the pain the band has been through over the years. However, the band comes to terms with the pain, and finds calm solace in the future during the acapella songbird. No matter what happens in the future, they will always have the memories of the best times of FM, and their bonds of friendship, to help them overcome any obstacle the future presents. 'That is how Fm should end. NOt with nostalgia, or spectacle, but with comforting closure. |
(This is what I think the Unleashed tour would have looked like with Christine in the mix)
01 Monday Morning 02 The Chain 03 Dreams 04 Say You Love Me 05 I Know I'm Not Wrong 06 Gypsy 07 Oh Daddy 08 Rhiannon 09 Second Hand News 10 Little Lies 11 Tusk 12 Sara 13 Big Love [Acoustic] 14 Never Going Back Again [Acoustic] 15 Landslide [Acoustic] 16 Over My Head [Acoustic] 17 You Make Loving Fun 18 Gold Dust Woman 19 Think About Me (or Hold Me) 20 I'm So Afraid 21 Silver Springs 22 Go Your Own Way 23 World Turning 24 Don't Stop 25 Sisters Of The Moon 26 Songbird There a ton of other songs that I would LOVE to hear live, but I think that had Christine been with the band this setlist would be pretty realistic... |

I scolded her, and told her that she'd be eaten alive, on the FM boards, by misspelling his name! She was like, "I almost looked it up, before I messaged you!":laugh: |

I scold people for using LindsAy, so to avoid confusion I call him Liddy. :laugh: Try shouting 'IT'S LIDDY' when FM comes on in HMV and not getting trange looks :thumbsup:
