Wish List: Set for "The Classic"
 

I imagine the set we get for The Classic will more or less be what we got for the On With The Show tour. However, here is what I would love to see (I think it would make for a great final tour set as well!):

(I have always wanted to hear "Tango" segue into "Chain")

01 - Tango In The Night
02 - The Chain
03 - Rhiannon
04 - Say You Love Me
05 - I Don't Want To Know
06 - Second Hand News
07 - Everywhere
08 - Dreams
09 - What Makes You Think You're The One
10 - Brown Eyes
11 - Tusk
12 - Sara
13 - Isn't It Midnight
14 - Big Love [Acoustic]
15 - Landslide [Acoustic]
16 - Never Going Back Again [Acoustic]
17 - Hold Me [Acoustic]
18 - Gypsy [Acoustic]
19 - Eyes Of The World
20 - Little Lies
21 - Gold Dust Woman
22 - I'm So Afraid
23 - You Make Loving Fun
24 - Stand Back
25 - Go Your Own Way

26 - World Turning
27 - Don't Stop
28 - Silver Springs

29 - Songbird

Its a good thing you said "wish' list ;)
The Mac is very ritualistic about their sets. They will play most of On with the show and remove a few songs to make it shorter. They will play their standards: The Chain, Dreams, You Make Loving Fun, Second Hand News, Rhiannon, Little Lies, Go Your Own Way, etc. I think its safe to say Stand Back will never be performed on a Mac stage again. Sorry chiffon heads :)
I assume they will have to shorten things up a bit. The Eagles go on last?
BTW, your wish list is pretty much the On with the show set list. Really? You wish to see almost the same concert again?

I suppose a wish list mixed with a dose of reality ;)


Also, The Eagles are on night 1 and Fleetwood Mac are on night 2. I agree that (again, in reality) it will be shorter than the average show.

My wish list would include a Buckingham Nicks song and one of the older Christine tunes, maybe Spare Me A Little Of Your Love, and be heavy on the Tango songs in honor of the anniversary and consequent reissue. I think that there's a good possibility Seven Wonders will make its appearance again, as well as Everywhere and Little Lies. I would like for Lindsey to pull out the title track or even Caroline but I'm not holding my breath. I would like them to retire some of their obligational songs like Dreams, Rhiannon, Don't Stop etc. (and also Stand back for that matter) to make room for something new but I know they probably won't. The never before performed tracks that I'd like to hear in place of some of the above mentioned are:

I Don't Want to Know
Tango in the Night
Caroline
Big Love (studio version)
Crystal
That's Alright

I don't know if a Buckingham McVie song would be performed but ultimately I think it wouldn't make much sense since those dates are sandwiched right in the middle of other dates of the Buckingham McVie tour, but in a perfect world it'd be nice to hear Stevie harmonize to one of them.

I LOVE the Tango/The Chain segue idea and I too have always thought that would be great!

I really doubt The Classic shows will have any surprises at all. Totally agree we will see an abbreviated On With the Show set list..something like:

The Chain
You Make Loving Fun
Dreams
Second Hand News
Everywhere
Rhiannon
Tusk
Say You Love Me
Big Love
Landslide
Never Going Back Again
Gold Dust Woman
Little Lies
I'm So Afraid
Go Your Own Way
World Turning
Don't Stop
Songbird
Silver Springs

For this kind of show it makes sense but I can't help but wish they'd add Oh Well, Spare Me a Little, Why, a BuckVie song, and even a BuckNicks song mixed in with the above standards. I'd even go for Stand Back coming back if we'd get a few of those others.

I think their set will be an even 20 songs, with Songbird as the final encore. They skipped Songbird a lot in 2014-2015, but I think they'll play it for these big festivals. I know they're just going to play the usual Fleetwood Mac set. My only must have song is Sara since they didn't play it in the US in 2014-2105, but they did play it last July at the Dodgers stadium.

I'd say this is a very likely set list for the Classic shows. The fact they are playing to festival crowds that includes non FM fans means they are even more likely to stick to the established hits and well known songs.

ooh ahh...ooh ahh
 

at the top of my wishlist is that Big Love is not performed again. it's beyond silly at this point. and the whispering in NGBA...sigh...can someone tell him to stop?

Amen, Kubrick2788!

Here's mine (no particular order):

Tusk
Second Hand News
You Make Loving Fun
Oh Daddy
Go Insane
Songbird
Bleed To Love Her
Big Love
Everywhere
Monday Morning
Come
Temporary One
My Little Demon
Red Rover
Don't Stop
