fantasy concert

[mikeymac]

OK, this is a bit self indulgent, I'll admit. But I was thinking today how I have no regrets of missing the unleashed tour, since I've seen most of the songs they played DOZENS of times. And I have no idea what's next for the band, but I was fantasizing that wouldn't it be nice if they did a tour that featured "deep cuts" seldom or never played live, and at the same time paid tribute to past members. Anti-hits, "un-unleashed", a show for fans that are sick of Go your own way, Dreams, The Chain etc. So here's my list, trying to be somewhat realistic based on what they've done in the past. Singer in parenthesis when not obvious:

Sisters of the moon
Can't go back
Station man (Lindsey with Stevie)
Affairs of the heart
In the back of my mind (Lindsey)
Beautiful child
Tango in the night
Love is dangerous (Lindsey)
Angel
This is the rock (Lindsey)
Miranda
Spare me a little (Stevie)
You and I
I don't want to know
Smile at you
Blue letter
Everybody finds out
Green Manalishi (Lindsey with Stevie)
Crystal (Lindsey and Stevie)
Hypnotized (Lindsey with Stevie)
Storms

Now something like this might pry me away from my computer for a night I can dream can't I?

Your ideas?

[Silver Springs]

I made it to the Unleashed tour last year in Manchester and I loved it. And they played Storms! Was fabulous and marginally better than the studio version. It definitely made up for the fact that they didn't perform Silver Springs *pout*. However self indulgent this thread may be, people still love to come up with their ideas and reply :P

Ledge
Sara
The Book Of Love
Paper Doll
Beautiful Child
Rattlesnake Shake (Lindsey because it's too much to hope for a Peter cameo lol)
Sugar Daddy (Might be interesting to see how Stevie approaches the song)
Caroline
Skies The Limit (Stevie and Lindsey)
Bleed To Love Her
Man Of The World (I hope Lindsey does it justice)
Temporary One (Stevie *mutter*)
Sisters Of The Moon
Without A Leg To Stand On (Lindsey and Stevie)
Eyes Of The World
Stand Back
Fireflies
Empire State
Blue Letter
Storms
World Turning (Stevie and Lindsey)

Finale: Silver Springs (Because it be cool )
Tusk (Well Duh! :P)

Add Fireflies, and I would dieeee for this to happen.

[KenshiMaster16]

1. Monday Morning
2. Dreams
3. I Know I'm Not Wrong
4. Gold Dust Woman
5. Peacekeeper
6. Gypsy
7. Second Hand News
8. Tusk
9. Sara
10. Big Love
11. Landslide
12. Never Going Back Again
13. Storms
14. Seven Wonders
15. What Makes You Think You're The One
16. Not That Funny [extended w/ Mick solo]
17. Rhiannon
18. I'm So Afraid [not slower version]
19. Stand Back
20. Go Your Own Way
21. The Chain [w/ extended ending]
22. Sisters Of The Moon

My fantasy concert would include Christine. The band would be touring a new studio album and featuring at least four or five new songs in their shows. Dreams would be dropped. Songbird would be dropped. The Chain would be dropped. Don't Stop would be dropped. Rhiannon and Landslide would be history, and Go Your Own Way would not be the last song before the encore. In other words, a new set of songs sans the same old formula.

The band would delve deeper into album tracks and there'd be this incredible "anything could happen" energy.

Fantasy indeed.

[Matthew]

Sure, it would be tour with Christine.
And the setlist probably something like this:
The Chain
Dreams
Everywhere
Rhiannon
Eyes of the World
Say You Love Me
Gold Dust Woman
Hold Me
Gypsy
Tusk
Isn´t It Midnight
Sara
Little Lies
Stand Back
Go Your Own Way
Don´t Stop
World Turning
Songbird

COMPLETE fantasy, but I'd love to see a full-blown 16 member rockin Mac reunion... like a once-off special or something, where everyone performs... The ideal setlist would be something like this:

FLEETWOOD MAC: FIREFLIES
(The "why can't we all just get along" tour)

*Electric Opener*
The Chain (all 16 members)
Purple Dancer (Danny and Chris)
Hypnotized (Bob Welch; Stevie and Bekka on backing)
Rhiannon (Lindsey, Bob Welch, Peter Green and Danny Kirwan on Guitar)

*Acoustic Set*
I'd Rather Go Blind (Chris)
Dust (Danny)
Landslide (with all guitarists for orchestra effect; but only Stevie and Lindsey front of stage)
Man of the World (just Peter)
Why (with all vocalists on harmonies)
One Together (with all vocalists on harmonies) (cheesey, I know)

*Rockin mid-way*
I Wonder Why
(I'm A) Road Runner (aka, concert toilet break )
Black Magic Woman seguing into Sisters of the Moon
Tusk (Stevie and Bekka play(?) fighting on stage during guitar solo )

*Blues set*
My Heart Beat Like A Hammer (Jeremy)
Jumping At Shadows
World Keep On Turning seguing into World Turning (including middle Drum solo)

*Broody guitar-off*
In The Back of My Mind (Billy and Rick)
I'm So Afraid (Lindsey)
The Green Manalishi (Peter on vocals; Lindsey, and others joining on Guitar towards end; Stevie and Bekka on howling backing)

*Final blow-out*
Second Hand News (with each member singing a part in the order they left the band; in a Sound of Music "So Long, Farewell" kind of way )
Go Your Own Way (guitar orchestra; double bass)

*Encore*
Oh Well (parts 1 & 2) (each band member slowly leaves the stage during part two's fade out, til it's just Peter left )
All Over Again (just Chris on Piano)

Damn, I really wish this could happen now!

Oh my lord. Please excuse me while I go yak in a bucket. I cried when I saw her singing You Make Loving Fun on YT and they were tears of horror, dissapointment and longing for Christine.

Yep yep.

My fantasy concert would be Christine, Bob Welch, Mick, John, Jeremy, Peter and Danny. They could sing what they liked I'd be too blissfully happy to see them all on the same stage to care too much but I suppose a blues set would be rather lovely. Bob covers Peter's songs rather well, I think.
