Huh? You contradicted yourself right there in the space of one paragraph. From "not crazy with her solo material mixing with band material"; but then it's ok if Buckingham Nicks material IS included...without Buckingham being in the band? THat really doesn't make sense.

Thanks so much for posting these. Time flies so fast. It was a great set list and it makes me miss "crazy"Stevie and miss Christine.

To be fair, her Buckingham Nicks material TECHNICALLY isn't solo material.

While Billy did a great job on "Don't Let Me Down Again", I'd rather have had "It Ain't Over" in the set. It was one of HIS songs (novel concept), Christine and Mick were on the original, and it was a perfect fit for the tone of the tour.

This tour is when "Stand Back" got into the FM setlist.Am I right.

Yes, I was surprised to hear it whenI saw them at Boston Garden but they did indeed play it.

Hmmm. I'll have to see if I can give it a listen somewhere...

I'm extremely surprised to hear that they performed the song "It Ain't Over," if only just once...until it was over! How could this not be common knowledge? I hope there is a bootleg of it. Too bad it didn't become a regular part of the set list.

They never did that one.

Thank you so much for setting me straight! Your attention to my egregious indiscretion is very noteworthy.

Sorry for the confusion. I did not contradict myself. My central issue was with Stevie's solo songs, which are signiture solo songs. However, Don't Let Me Down Again is not just a Buckingham Nicks song -- it's also a Fleetwood Mac song. It was an early staple of their live sets, and appears on their LIVE album. That makes perfect sense.

Still need clarification? Consult my lawyer.
