Songs they will keep/drop/add

yes. and it was always Stevie that couldn't deal with keeping her more obscure songs.

playing older / preBN era FM songs has nothing to do with Stevie because they don't affect her part of the FM setlist. and Stevie and Mick were insisting in the interviews that they cannot play more obscure songs because public will run for the bathrooms. yet now, they like to pretend those interviews (even from 2013 tour!) don't exist and the 2 of them were always the staunchest proponents of the obscure.

Stevie's last solo tour was the only one where she was finally bold with the setlist - good for he! maybe she continues on this Mac tour too and drops Rhiannon and Dreams in favor of her deeper FM cuts.

Stevie's little dig that they couldn't go into the pre-1975 catalog because of Lindsey in their most recent CBS interview was simply nauseating. If she so loved Station Man or Rattlesnake Shake, why didn't she figure out a way to sing them (imagine her singing RS...lordy) in lieu of one of her own songs.

And she absolutely should consider shelving Dreams (although she would likely point out that SHE wrote that song and it's the only #1 that their version of Fleetwood Mac ever had so they HAVE to play it!), and that ramshackle version of Rhiannon that she's been lumbering along to for the last 20 years, and replace both with something deeper.

I don't know, all this talk about deep cuts in the next set doesn't feel realistic. These guys are going out on the road to fill arenas all winter, not to reach deep into their past (or contribute anything from their present). They have one job on this tour, and they all know it: fill arenas.

Even any songs they add from Crowded House will boil down to song recognition. They aren't going to sing a Crowded House b-side.

That stretch of time between Peter Green's classics and 1975-1977 classics will be mostly ignored. Hypnotized, Station Man, Tell Me All the Things You Do, Spare Me a Little, and so on.

But as long as we're dreaming, how about Emerald Eyes?

Thoughts?

Dreams wasn’t done on her 24 KG tour other then in Australia where it replaced New Orleans. But that was like 10 our of the 70 shows.


That being said I think they’ll definitely do Dreams on this tour, I just don’t think Dreams is as unthinkable to not be played as Rhiannon. I think Dreams will sound great with Mike Campbell, breakdown and Dreams have a similar guitar tone. Sara and Gypsy are 2 hits they i really hope don’t get played.

Dreams is FM only #1---I don't think she can get away with not playing it on an "FM" tour. Just my opinion though.

I have to say that I like that she largely skipped it and LBCM skipped Don’t Stop last year.
