He does play it safe too often for my liking. He could have dropped Holiday Road. He could stop playing Big Love when he makes promotional appearances. He could quit saying that the fans expect Rumours songs. But I can't think of a single thing that's unsafe about DOR. It could easily have been one of the 3 pop songs featured (CAD, Show You How and It Was You being the others) before the album was released to entice casual listeners. Michele |

When he made comments about the record company not promoting his GOS album, he also remarked that the record company chose the poppy Did You Miss Me as the single. Maybe that wouldn't have been his choice. Maybe omitting DOR doesn't contradict the comments he made on stage during the GOS tour, but reinforces them. Maybe he didn't put Down on Rodeo in the setlist because he wanted to expose less commercial songs in the slot that DOR would have held. Since he had to perform the 3 songs that were released before UTS came out, along with GYOW, Holiday Road and Trouble, maybe he felt that there just wasn't room for one more "safe" play. Furthermore, DOR was pretty well known among fans already and maybe he wanted to showcase the songs from the album that were less familiar. I had a problem with Lindsey not doing OOTC songs. And I had an even bigger problem when he told us he was going to do them next tour and then all we got was Don't Look Down. So, I don't approve of his setlist choices 100% and I don't think disagree that he's smug. But the criticism you're leveling about the exclusion of DOR seems to prove the presence of his testicles, rather than refute their presence, as you've charged. Michele |

Was the song (DOR) written for/about former girlfriend Anne Heche?

The Drive, 97.1
The Set List http://www.wdrv.com/blog_stroud.php Posted: Thursday, 10/26/2006 at 12:10am by Bob Stroud I saw Lindsey Buckingham a few nights ago at the Park West. Lindsey's a trip. He's intense and focused, loose and raucous. He's touring in support of only his 4th solo CD in the past 25 years, "Under the Skin." I love this CD because it demands your attention. You can't have it on in the backround and expect to get anything out of it. You've got to be adult about it, sit down and pay attention. Your effort will be rewarded after 2 or 3 listens with gorgeously constructed melodies, and deeply personal lyrics. The whole affair is rather ethereal and eclectic....right up my alley. Buckingham and his band beautifully recreated the handful of songs chosen to perform from the new release. He filled out the rest of the set with selections from past solo efforts and of course the obligatory Fleetwood Mac nuggets. Which brings me to my point. The reviewer in the Sun Times quibbled with Buckingham's set list, (he also got snotty about Buckingham choosing to wear a v-neck t-shirt at his age.....HUH?) complaining that he should leave the Fleetwood Mac material for Fleetwood Mac and concentrate on lesser known and in some cases, unknown solo material.... not that there's anything wrong with that. Yet there is when you don't balance it out with a dose, if not a healthy dose of familiar, tried and true hits and near misses. Fans love the hits. They love to HEAR the hits. You can tell time after time by the reaction they get when the song begins AND ends. A buddy of mine saw Neil Young a couple of years ago and was wholly disappointed because Young chose to play nothing but his new CD that had just been released. He did offer up a couple of classics for the encore but that was it as far as familiar material was concerned. My buddy felt cheated. I hear it all the time from fans who are disappointed when the artist doesn't play enough of the songs that they've come to hear. Hey, in a perfect world we could all program what we think our favorite artists should play in concert. But it's not perfect and we're at the mercy of the artist to mix it up with hits and "deep tracks." And for the most part, the professional up on stage does a pretty good job of coming through with a memorable set list. Or does he? What's your take? When you go to see a classic artist, do you want to hear his greatest hits with a few deep tracks and 1 or 2 new songs, or would you be more than content in hearing nothing but the new CD? Guranteed your friendly neighborhood newspaper reviewer would vote for the latter. |

great whole show in Wisconsin
someone shared the whole UTS tour stop Oct 17 2006 Wisconsin (it might have been in one of recent threads here too, i can't remember where i first saw it). the setlist was insane, with 3 by-request gorgeously performed encores - Rodeo, Save Me A Place and Bleed To Love Her.
love having this, and listening and watching it just makes me sad thinking he may never perform like this again. PRIMARY SET: 1:22 Not Too Late 6:58 Trouble 11:21 Never Going Back Again 15:14 Second Hand News 18:59 Introduction To: 20:34 Cast Away Dreams 25:11 Introduction To: 25:25 "Fail" 26:16 Red Rover 30:59 It Was You 34:44 Big Love 38:32 Poem To: 39:17 Go Insane 44:21 Introduction To: 44:50 Under the Skin 49:19 World Turning 52:34 Cajon Solo 55:42 I'm So Afraid 1:04:25 I Know I'm Not Wrong 1:08:43 Tusk 1:13:30 Go Your Own Way ENCORE: 1:19:28 Holiday Road 1:22:37 Band Introduction 1:25:23 Show You How 1:30:52 Down on Rodeo 1:36:07 Save Me a Place 1:42:16 Bleed to Love Her
