Trade two old songs for two new songs

secret love · #1 05-15-2015, 01:37 AM

Most fans would know that Fleetwood Mac have truncated their set list by dropping Seven Wonders and Songbird. I'm disappointed that I probably won't get to hear these songs when I see them in Sydney later this year. I was looking forward to Seven Wonders especially.

However, why not take this opportunity to add two new songs to the set in their place?

They played two new songs during the 2013 tour without having a new album (the EP didn't come out until a few weeks into the tour).

Why not debut two new songs in Europe and Australia, one of Lindsey's new ones and one of Christine's?

I'm not ready for new songs yet. Save those for the tour when after the album is released. If we were to add two songs in the place of "Seven Wonders" and "Songbird," I'd go with "Hold Me" where "Seven Wonders" was in the set. Then at the end Stevie would close with something soft like "Landslide," you know, something similar to "Songbird." Then earlier in the set the band would play "Angel."

No I'm not bothered about new songs on this tour....
But would love, love, to hear "Angel"....I've just listened to it and I'm sure Stevie's current range could do it justice...

What to drop though, mmmm..... Big Love....no just kidding.
Sisters of The Moon, I guess.

you couldn't play Landslide and Silver Springs at the end though.

I want Seven Wonders back, it's such a bummer we won't hear it in Dublin. Especially since they sped it up, it's been top notch.

Replace
Songbird with Brown eyes and Seven Wonders with Angel

I totally dig this idea!

I guess I'd have to replace Seven Wonders with Straight Back.

Replace Over My Head with Think About Me
Replace Sisters with Straight back.

In place of Songbird bring in Why (on a sclae of 1 to 10 for the likelihood of that ever happening: 3)
In place of Seven Wonders bring in That's Alright (on a sclae of 1 to 10 for the likelihood of that ever happening: 1)

^^^"Why" is a good choice!

Throw out "Seven Wonders", "Dreams" (I know it will never happen), add "Angel" and bring back "Stand Back".
"So Afraid" can go for "Oh well".
"Little Lies" has to make room for "Hold me".

As much as I would love to hear two or three new Fleetwood Mac songs live, I know it is not going to happen, not this year at least. Though I think that we will get a new album eventually. It would just be such a wasted effort, all the work Lindsey, Christine, Mick and John have put into making new music, if that music was never released to the public.

I wonder if Stevie has heard Lindsey and Christine's new songs?

Anyway, I love some of the ideas people have suggested here, especially adding in Angel and Hold Me. I would not get rid of Little Lies but

Would also love for them to perform Steal Your Heart Away live as a band...Lindsey has done it solo but it would be even better with Christine and Stevie involved
