they've been interacting nicely so far. warm and friendly.

Yes.

Actually though, I don't think Stevie is overly attached to the song live. The problem is, if she stopped doing it, I highly doubt that she would place a "new" song like Angel in its stead. If she cut Sara, then we'd just lose Sara and probably wouldn't get anything good to replace it. So, I am not wishing for them to cut anything.

no cutting, replacing. since we know they won't just add...

and however much i don't like Say Goodbye, it is fittingly closing the arc of the story they choose to tell on this tour - from Landslide through Without You to Say Goodbye. so it has to stay, otherwise WATL could be a nice ballad-y closer too

If Stevie made a replacement, it would probably be switching in Soldier's Angel for something. That's the only thing I could see from her. Lindsey is more flexible.

So, do you stand at the foot of the stage softly singing the words to Say Goodbye with them, your eyes slightly misted over? That has got to be a sight!

Well, you know Lindsey. If this tour had a second leg, I wouldn't put WATL out of the running, after a break.

lol. you know me better than that Michele!

but i do think it sounds good actually, guitar work and singing, once i get over the fact that it's that song [which has that sound/melody i don't like].

Maybe gamble a few bucks too.

Just got back from the show. My third this week. No cutting Sara. It is amazing. This is the best they sounded. They are having so much fun. The one replacement is to swap out Not That Funny for Bleed to Love Her. They might have a perfect show. It was amazing.

And by the way - MSG not so great. The sound is ****ty there. Anyone who thinks that is the best concert venue is about as smart as Rolling Stone. DC and Chicago far better sound. Amazing week.

Exactly right about NTF. Stops the show dead in its tracks. Besides that, perfect!

lol - we have exact opposite opinion - Sara is a drag and slows down the show way too much (even though sounds better than i expected which doesn't say that much for it). Not That Funny is a badass coolness weirdest punkish song the way they do it now and says "we are full of energy and not some old farts and we've been that since Tusk", it has to stay!

[elle]

plus wasn't everybody here crying how the set is same old and stale? but you want to keep Sara that was done on the last tour, and throw out the one song that, besides Sad Angel and Without You, actually completely turns around the setlist from what it was in 2009????? Not That Funny adds that alternative coolness to the set and single-handedly changes the set to the energetic new show!

Let's see...from Mick's M&G, I asked him about Christine recording with them and he shot it down because "she'd have to tour." Thanks for being a dreamkiller Mick! He did threaten her with physical violence if she doesn't play at one of the London O2 shows, so you Brits are a lucky bunch!

The show was great as usual, much tighter than when I saw them in Columbus last week.

Hmm. Sara is an INTERnational treasure. Tusk and Sara are Fleetwood Macs Culthits. Not like the rumours and white album hits.
