Their history suggests otherwise. They kept Peter Green songs in the set that were from long out of print albums and not available on CD in America at the time during the 1987-88 and 1990 tours. The songs they are talking about are not nearly as obscure.

S&L Yanked their own songs out. I don't think Stevie will have any issue yanking someone else's song out if she looks out to the masses and sees empty seats LOL

Again, though, they didn’t yank songs like “I Loved Another Woman” or “Stop Messin’ Round” and those hadn’t been in-print in America since the mid-1970s, so I don’t know why people are expecting anything different on this tour.

Well that was still decades ago and things could have changed. Their audience has certainly changed. But either way if they're gonna drop any songs as the tour progresses it will probably be a group agreement based on crowd reaction.

Did Stevie drop songs on her last tour?

Yes she did, but it was subtle. Leather and Lace was in there in the beginning and ultimately punted, although I can't figure out why. It was really well done. I feel like there was one more change too, but for the life of me, can't recall it.

Oh I do know that. It was replaced by Landslide.

I'm not sure actually. What I saw, she played like 2 songs from the 24KG album and 2 from IYD if I'm remembering correctly. Those were the probably the 'least' known songs. All the other songs were her older, more well known ones. Oh and Crying in the Night. I don't know if the set list changed throughout the tour.

if i remember correctly, she had a really impressive deep cut / new releases setlist at first, with hardly any staples / FM hits. several not well known songs were eventually replaced by FM hits as the tour was going on, but i think even in the end it was pretty impressive setlist for her.

She did a fantastic job of pulling the obscure stuff out. I loved her last tour. It was fantastic.

And back in -- 1998, was it? -- she did After the Glitter Fades, Garbo, Sleeping Angel, Enchanted, Gold and Braid, Rose Garden, and Twisted.

For her, it was really -- twisted. It was shocking. Fans were in heaven.

Last year, Bella Donna and the Wild Heart were the big shockers. Good stuff.

For me, the set list of any tour isn't important. I'm more interested in whether the performances are passionate or just phoned in. The other day on Spotify, I was listening to Lindsey's live concert at Bass Hall, and even the standard Fleetwood stuff he did was so passionate -- it was as if he were singing those songs for the first time. That's what makes a concert worth attending.

She dropped Annabel Lee entirely (bummer) after a show or two and replaced Leather & Lace with Landslide (Not something that bothered me personally).

Outside the Rain/Dreams was replaced with Gypsy for a while before they were both added back to the set to replace New Orleans, with Gypsy remaining.

So yes, but still good for her with 8-9 non-staples (depending on your definition) persistent throughout.
1. Crying in the Night
2. Belle Fleur
3. Moonlight
4. If You Were My Love
5. Starshine
6. Gold & Braid
7. Enchanted (kind of a staple at this point but not a mainstream song)
8. Wild Heart
9. Bella Donna
10. New Orleans (replaced right at the end)
11. Annabel Lee (dropped)

So, Stevie has no aversion to doing obscure stuff, and the band has shown in a different era that they don’t have an aversion to playing obscure stuff. Then, the question still remains why people think she or the others will drop lesser known stuff when there’s nothing in their history to suggest that they will?

Oh Well, Rattlesnake Shake, Hypnotized, and Station Man are not really all that obscure, especially compared to what the Mac did with Rick Vito or what Stevie did on her last tour.

It never ceases to amaze me, at how down you are with this new lineup.


You know this isn't 1987, right? Do you realize the attention span of the average person, now? 98% of people couldn't give AF about Station Man, or ANY of the other songs you listed. SURE, WE DO, but we're in the 2%, NOT the asses that they want in the freaking seats. Not the asses that are going to shell out big dough, en masse, for this debacle of a lineup.

But they aren't Stevie's songs. Stevie doing her OWN obscure stuff is one thing. Doing someone else's, when It may not be resonating with the people that are actually going to go--that's where I think she/they are going to be more prone to removing it.

BTW---I would love it if Christine put her foot down and INSISTED something from Buck Vie makes it's way into the set list!! LOL
