Really? In a live setting, I think OMH is vastly better than Hold me and Little Lies.

Ha! They're all pretty much sitting tight together in that 'genre'. Though Silly Love Songs has a KILLER bassline...

Depends. The '70s versions were killer. However, despite a noble effort by John McVie, "The Dance" version was pretty bland.

I would totally die just to hear Little Lies live just once in my lifetime. Ahh that would be so fantastic!!

No wait, he's even more rock than "Everywhere". There is no song ever recorded that is less rock and more glossy pop schlock than "Everywhere".

I can't speak for today, with their current voices, but in the past, they sounded amazing together on OMH. I'm not going to say it's better than Hold Me though, although I know Hold Me was, apparently a disappointment to them in concert.

I'd rather they do almost any song in their repertoire than Oh Daddy.

I would say that Little Lies is not a bad song, it's just done very bad things to FM's reputation. It's not actually facile musically. Just the chorus ruins it.

So, I have no problem with it in my own home, but I don't want it out in public. This is the last tour for all of them (probably) and to open up my paper twice a week and read all the catty Little Lies reviews would be kind of sad. Even though I don't think Little Lies is thoroughly awful, I find Everywhere superior to Little Lies in almost every way.

I think elle's got it basically right with what the Mac would do if and when Christine returns on tour.

a mix of the Dance combined with the setlist from the 2013 tour....

World Turning
Say You Love Me
Over My Head
You Make Loving Fun
Don't Stop
Songbird
...one song from Tusk and another from Tango in the Night.

I say remove all solo songs, Without You, and Sad Angel.

God Calumny would be hot with LB and SN.

Mmmm let me see...

- Don't Stop obviously
- Songbird, yes
- World Turning, maybe, but I think Stevie would sing with Christine, you know, maybe because she sang her part in the past tours...
- Over my Head, nice choice
- You make loving fun

I don't see Say You Love Me or any TITN or Tusk song in a possible setlist. We'll see...
Regards!

I'm still not convinced. Didn't Christine say something along the lines of "until we're ninety [the chemistry between the five of them] will still be there"? I think there's more than one tour left in the band.

It would be interesting to see what kind of background vocal arrangement they would work out. The "then he sings to me, so soft and sweet part ..." And then I wonder what kind of ending they would give it.
