Rumours tour. I find the set lists of the 1975 tours to be more interesting. They had the pre-1975 pop-rock, some blues, Buckingham Nicks tunes, and new songs, and they tended to mix things up a bit. They also mixed things up a bit more on the "Tusk" tour, too. The "Rumours" tour, at least after they dropped all of the pre-1975 stuff, save "Oh Well," was pretty boring. A set list of songs that were almost entirely from two albums really doesn't do anything for me.
Actually, this band was at their BEST during the '76 tours. The "Rosebud" era. The time when the white album wasn't exactly new, but "Rumours" hadn't been released. They were doing the new songs, but they were still doing the really old songs. So, it had a very nice mix. Moreover, the band itself was absolutely smoking, not needing ANY extra musicians, not even Ray Lindsey. And, Stevie's voice was still very strong (although Christine was starting to do the higher harmonies live). But, these tours aren't really an option.
