Reasonable ways to change up the tired setlist for 2018-19 tour.

Everywhere

Silver Springs

Add-in's:
Angel- it hasn't been worn out like the rest
Isn't it Midnight-- great Chris song and big LB solo
I don't want to know- never been done, why not?
Frozen Love-- homage to B&N before FM; was the song that hooked Mick
Oh Well- they need some homage to the band before B&N
maybe Sugar Daddy; I know some don't like it but it's fun
Seven Wonders- replace Gypsy with this
Tango - gives him a big guitar solo
Straight Back- this has such a great Stevie/Chris vocal interplay
I'd take Red Rover acoustic
It Takes Time... with Chris playing keys?

Yeah, I could go along with this- though, as others have also said I'd add NGBA to the 'Must go' list. Also not sure about Seven Wonders...wasn't it a bit lame last time they tried it? (cant remember).

hmmm...good question, anyone know?

She was still in the throes of her cocaine voice on that one, maybe it doesn't translate well to her more measured voice these days.

I recall it was done on the last tour but dropped fairly early on.

I thought it was great but maybe just because I was so happy it was in the setlist.

Would be happy to leave behind NGBA, Sara, Bleed To Love Her, and Gypsy. I honestly don't think Tusk or I'm So Afraid should go - they are absolute tour de forces live, and they're always played slightly differently. As with Gold Dust Woman.

While my instinct is to ask for SYW songs, because of Chris they're limited to BTLH, but I think if you balance it enough you could do:

- Isn't It Midnight
- Tango in the Night OR Caroline (Lindsey could totally find a way to rework them and transfer to stage)
- Beautiful Child
- Love In Store
- Thrown Down
- Big Love (full band, a la Go Insane 2009 which SLAYED)
- Save Me a Place
- As Long As You Follow (shot in the freaking dark. one can hope)
- Think About Me
- find a way to add Stevie to On With the Show. It's just so fitting.

and I am SO on board with adding Oh Well back. That, along with Storms and Go Insane were my highlights of Unleashed. Lindsey always crushed it!

Believe this is the same number of songs as 2014...I would love to hear.

The Chain
Say You Love Me
Dreams
I Don't Want to Know
As Long As You Follow
Rhiannon
Peacekeeper
Tusk
Angel
You Make Loving Fun
Fireflies
Bleed to Love Her
Landslide
Never Going Back Again
Over My Head
Straight Back
Think About Me
Gold Dust Woman
I'm So Afraid
Go Your Own Way
World Turning (Encore)
Don't Stop (Encore)
Silver Springs (Encore)
Songbird (Encore)

If they sang I Don't Want to Know and As Long As You Follow, I would be the first in line to buy a ticket! I know Lindsey didn't play on Follow, but it is on both of the FM Greatest hits album, and I bet the casual listener might think he's on it. I've always thought that song was a thank you to the fans for sticking with them throughout the years, and it's so damn beautiful. Would be awesome to hear Stevie and Lindsey on this.

definitely if Big Love stays it has to be the band version. He needs to let go of some of his sacred cows. For someone as innovative as he is in the studio, he needs to not be so staid live. No more of the speech that goes with it either.

Save me A Place has always been kinda bland to me...sorry... and it's charm is all about his harmonizing with himself. Not sure how that would go with the band. On a solo tour, with a lot of his pre recorded tracks stuff, I could see it.

I gotta say Love In Store is not one my personal faves; it is another song that never really gets off the ground but just kinda drones. However, the vocals are nicely done and you have cool Lindsey and especially Stevie parts to it so it could totally work live.

Agreed. We're at the unfortunate place, however, where they just don't have the physical vocal power to plow through song after song so it's a hard balance to find the right selections to excite the audience and actually sound nice.

Monday Morning instead of Second Hand News.

I think FM performed Seven Wonders quite well on the latest tour. I wouldn't add it to the 2018 setlist,though.

yeah it's ok. her voice is so nasally it sounds rather different.

And its somehow just.....lackluster in that performance. It does not have the energy that Little Lies has on the BuckVie tour.

[Wdm6789]

For Stevie, I think it would be cool to alternate Rhiannon and Gold Dust Woman, add Storms and/or Stand Back.

Christine, you pretty much can't change any of her songs. I think Over My Head is a better choice than Think About Me though, it's more recognizable. Although if Christine were to introduce Over & Over "Some of you might remember this song, it was the very first song on the Tusk album" there might be a positive reaction.

Lindsey, please at least get rid of Never Going Back Again and Big Love. I want Eyes of The World or Not That Funny. I could also do without Second Hand News. Blue Letter would be awesome, but I would want it to be a band song with all three singing like they did back in the day.
