Yes he is a very different act but the real fans enjoy the rarities and the bucket list attendees enjoy the more obvious. It also kept it fresh and exciting for the him and the band. Fleetwood Mac have always toured with the exact same set so moving away from that comfort zone will not happen. Ever. But it is still a shame and a one off show or handful of shows with a rare song list would be extraordinary.
Most people on this forum take delight in finding previously unseen footage or demos or live versions.
It would be nice but dream on silly dreamers.
nobody thinks that's bad or unsuccessful idea. except for the Mac. that's exactly what i told Mick at a m&g "no reason for you to be like Grateful Dead but you can be like Bruce. he said, not gonna happen, not with the mac, we are not that kind of band. had a feeling he was regretting they are not while saying that, but obviously it's not up to him. Stevie and Lindsey seem to hold all the cards there, and they have their setlists set in stone.
