Songs they will keep/drop/add

[KenshiMaster16]

Considering whom we're speaking of and their reluctance to change a setlist that drastically over the last decade or so, I'd be willing to bet we end up with something along these lines;

The Chain
Dreams
Everywhere
Second Hand News
Rhiannon
Rattlesnake Shake
Stop Draggin' My Heart Around
Say You Love Me
Sara
Station Man
Free Fallin'
Landslide
Hold Me
Gypsy
Little Lies
Don't Dream It's Over
Gold Dust Woman
Oh Well
Go Your Own Way
World Turning
Don't Stop
Silver Springs
Songbird

Pretty much. I doubt Silver Springs will be played, though. Maybe Sara?

Funny thing: Fleetwood Mac won’t be the only legendary band doing a Tom Petty tribute tomorrow night. The Byrds (McGuinn and Hillman w/ Marty Stuart) have been doing a couple of Tom Petty songs, too.

Without LB in the mix, I doubt we will ever hear Hold Me, Silver Springs or Sara again live.

I love Tom Petty very much and today brings up all the memories of that horrible day a year ago. But I don’t see the need for FM to do a tribute a year after his death regardless of Stevie and Mike. I don’t think people expect it. I think they expect a FM concert and hoo boy are they in for a surprise with this tribute or not.

It appears Stevie is driving this despite what Mike Campbell wants and that makes it particularly unsettling. Had he talked about how excited he is to do a tribute on this tour, perhaps I’d think differently.

I am struggling with the premise and notion as to why you would do a "tribute" to someone who was never a part of the band.

Well, two members of the band have extensive histories with him. Mike was his best friend, collaborator, and right hand man for nearly 50 years, and the biggest hit Tom ever had a hand in was SDMHA. It would be weirder, especially a day after the anniversary of Tom’s death, for them not to acknowledge it somehow.

The only reason Mike has this job, and I don't mean to sound crass, is because Tom is no longer here. Stevie paid her tribute during her solo tour. Yes he's an integral part of her musical evolution, but Mike has even gone so far to allude to and say, he really isn't on board with this (i.e. Free Fallin comments). At least that's how I took his comments in the article earlier this week. I respect your opinion and I hope we can respectfully agree to disagree on this front. I assume this group has collective connections to many artists who have passed on, if it's not being billed as such, I think it seems odd to earmark a part of a show (granted we are all assuming that's what they are doing and until tomorrow we won't know for sure) to someone who was never an integral part to the entire band.

I don’t think SS, SDMHA, or Songbird will be in the setlist. Although maybe Songbird for the first few shows then dropped. I think only Oh Well for the pre-BN but maybe a 2nd one that is dropped. Not sure why I care but my setlist prediction, not in order:

The Chain
Dreams
Rhiannon
Free Fallin
Sara
Gypsy
Stand Back
Landslide with annoying dedication to those supporting this farce of a new band
Say You Love Me

Imagine if $he actually said that!!

The only way I would even remotely change my mind about not going and try and grab some tickets is if they use this opportunity to really change things up (which will only happen if Hell freezes). Something along these lines;

The Chain
Dreams
Everywhere
Second Hand News
Rhiannon
Rattlesnake Shake
Fireflies
Say You Love Me
Angel
Station Man
Why
Crystal
As Long As You Follow
Gypsy
Little Lies
Don't Dream It's Over
Gold Dust Woman
Oh Well
You Make Loving Fun
Go Your Own Way
Hypnotized
Don't Stop
Landslide
Songbird

Throw in Brown Eyes, I Don't Want to Know, Man of the World, and Sentimental Lady and I agree- your song selections would really shock the fans!

IA. I'd understand if it's just a one-time thing for the opening show or the anniversary of his death and it would make sense considering how Stevie and Mike were close to him but a tribute to him in the form of covering one of the most covered songs in the history of humanity as part of the regular setlist for what's supposed to be a 'Fleetwood Mac' tour seems unnecessary. Especially if they're already planning on doing SDMHA.

TPATH did “Oh Well” when Stevie toured with them, so turn around seems fair.

You are absolutely right. I still have NOT purchased tickets to my local show in February. As it stands now, this is the FIRST Fleetwood Mac show that I will MISS in over 40 years.

Depending on what I wake up to tomorrow morning regarding news of the set list, I may or may not break down and buy seats. If I wake up and find that the band is really stepping outside their comfort zone and performing tunes like "Why", "Hypnotized", "Over and Over", "That's Alright", "Station Man", "Angel", and "Hold Me", I will consider attending.

However, doing the same set list sans Lindsey songs and just adding "Oh Well" and "Rattlesnake Shake" won't cut it for me. Moreover, Fleetwood Mac playing "Don't Dream It's Over" is sacrilegious. No offense to Crowded House, but WHY?

[WatchChain]

By the way, if anyone is in the wordly city of Tulsa tonight, can you provide a play by play set list?
