Setlist spoiler alert...

[UnwindedDreams]

FM performed "Oh Well" during Unleashed Tour. I'd trade NGBA for Oh Well since I think Lindsey would not allow NGBA to be traded for a Chris song!

I said this earlier, but can Stevie actually sing Seven Wonders? Would that put too much strain on her voice? If I were her, cut Silver Springs, move Landslide to the encores, and put Seven Wonders in the set. Or she could cut Rhiannon...she does leave that one out every other tour right?

The biggest bummer with Lindsey is that he does the same damn guitar solos for every concert, both touring on his own and with Fleetwood Mac. I've loved them the few times I have seen him. I know he tears the roof off the place with So Afraid, but he's really hurting his guitar cred by sticking to the same songs time and time again. Maybe he legitimately would have to relearn some of those old songs we always mention (Tango in the Night or an acoustic version for something other than Big Love)? That's a lot to ask when time is short and he already has to relearn/ease back into Christine's song. I listened to the RedBeard interview and it seemed like guitar playing was never natural to him and he learned by experimenting; he doesn't read music...still, it's kind of sad that with the pay he's making he can't give us different guitar showcases.

I'm rather sad Seven Wonders won't be in the set but I guess they can only do so many songs, and the casuals buying tickets want the same old same old I guess.

Considering the bands near 50 year history it would be nice to have a brief video montage of all FM members past and present during the show, perhaps during the acoustic set or before an encore.

Sure would be nice to hear a hint of new music as well.

If Stand Back isn't in, I'm rather shocked. I didn't think that would happen.

Probably in a much lower key, or with a ton of lower harmony notes, which would just ruin the song, IMO Stevie uses that tactic a bit too often, almost no song is safe these days. I get the impression ever since she started with the vocal coach, she's played things extremely safely vocally.

Linds is going to need a new method of garnering a little sympathy from the audience...

That's not creative, that's nostalgic bullsh*t. Sure, there's time & place for honoring an entity's legacy, but that's not what Fleetwood Mac has done for the last, oh, 17 years. Once Lindsey & Stevie returned in '97, it's been nothing but nostalgic bullsh*t. At least, with new personnel there was creativity. They've done nothing but jump on the Rumours hype bandwagon and stay there for eternity. It is crap, it was crap, it'll always BE crap. Stinking smelly CRAP!

Then hold your nose. If you can't take the smell, then go smell elsewhere.

ME TOO!!!!!!!!

I still laugh about the idea of Dave Mason being called 'creative' in Fleetwood Mac. No. This line up still sells out arena's. That's the problem. They think they have to do the same songs over and over, to serve the audience. And they may even be right. If you want to see this band in 2014-2015, don't expect ANY risks. They ARE a nostalgia act. A damn good one, though. They still deliver a certain level of quality. Tusk is the best album ever, I don't have the illusion that this old band will reinvent itself ever again. I'm ready to dive in memorylane again and see them in concert. If there is an Amsterdam-gig. I'll buy their new album, if it ever surfaces. But it will not be a good fresh album. It will be a pityful attempt to catch something that roots in the past, and therefore it will never have the tension they were searching for back then.

With all the old bands I have seen, I'm always really annoyed when they throw new stuff in their set, I don't want to see the new stuff, I want their classics. I saw Crosby Stills & Nash a month ago and they had a couple new songs but did not play Suite Judy Blue Eyes. I would have been much happier seeing Suite Judy Blue Eyes and cut the new songs.

Also, these bands should be serving the audience with these ticket prices, I paid $1050 for two 8th row floor seats. Fleetwood Mac better play what I want to see.

To each his own I guess. I prefer the nostalgia acts.

And eh, if they kicked out Sara and Stand Back, there still is guts in this band.
