Otherwise, they'd just open with "Go Your Own Way" and then fail to keep the audience past the opener. (like Clapton mistakenly did during his '75 tour by opening his sets with "Layla")
The first time I saw them was on that tour, and I was BLOWN AWAY by that being the opener. I thought for months that it should have been, and the it WAS! The only reason that's Billy's greatest contribution to Fleetwood Mac is because they didn't do "The Bigger The Love..."
