Songs never performed live

[PenguinHead]

I figure about half of the band's recorded catalog has never been performed on stage in context of a Fleetwood Mac show. I wish they would delve into some of their deep album tracks. Christine's songs really aren't a preferable option without Christine, but they have plenty of other options. I wish they would stop dragging Stand Back around.

What songs from Stevie and Lindsey you wish they would bring to life and include in a Fleetwood Mac set list? My picks.

well, i've been screaming and begging for months now that LB should acoustically re-work Walk a Thin Line (in a vein of Deerhunter version) and perform it on either solo or FM tour. since he seems reluctant to add FM songs to his solo setlist, then he should definitely do it for any upcoming FM tour:D.

you don't have all of them, but i've bolded the songs that i would love to hear, and ones that i would just like to hear are in blue.

i asked lindsey in person about 2 months ago whether he'd consider doing Love Minus Zero at some of his solo shows, and his response was "maybe." he didn't add it so far and i don't expect it will happen in the near future. :lol: but also, he used to perform LMZ live (e.g., at AHI), so although that's not technically during FM tour, it would probably count as a live performance the way you seems to have it set up. also, Murrow is on lindsey's sounstage.

if it would be up to me, no SN or CM songs from the list you provided should be added.:p
but, i would love to hear Destiny Rules, which they briefly performed on the SYW tour.

[Lindsfan]

Stevies' songs:

Everybody Finds Out - my favorite of hers from SYW :)

Fireflies - just because I really like it, though with Chris no longer in the band, it would be kinda sad :(

Lindsey's songs:


The Ledge - Anything from Tusk makes me happy, but this would make me extra happy :thumbsup:

Tango In The Night - Because I like it, and DO NOT think it sounds like I'm So Afraid :distress:

Murrow Turning Over In His Grave - He's done it live solo, of course, but I love it, and wouldn't mind one bit hearing it with FM :)

Miranda - Yes, please. Awesome song! :nod:

Love Minus Zero/No Limits - :blob1::blob1:

Steal Your Heart Away - Same reason as Murrow :D

ha - look at our lists for LB songs - same (except Tango)! and yeah, i forgot he performed SYHA solo too. plus there are many additional Tusk and SYW lindsey songs that i would LOVE to hear live!!

[GoldDustGypsy]

I would love to hear That's Alright from Stevie and Book of Love from Lindsey! .....of course there are many more but those are definitely my top two. :D

Me too, for Lindsey's guitar intro. They played Running Through the Garden too, briefly, right? :shrug: Not on the list above, but again, I like the song, and Lindsey's solo, so I'd be good with them giving it another try.

[PenguinHead]

Another thing, since they are now essentially Buckingham Nicks again, I think they should look at performing songs from that album.

Fleetwood Mac has already performed two of their songs:

Frozen Love - once only, alas low quality recording
Don't Let Me Down Again - fantastic on the LIVE album

It would be great if they performed the others. Fleetwood Mac would do these songs justice!

Crying In The Night
Without A Leg To Stand On
Crystal
Races Are Run
Long Distant Winner

[Lindsfan]

They can play it back to back with Walk a Thin Line ;) and test both of our patience.

not a BN era fan (blasphemy i know:eek::shocked:). i guess i could live through them retrying Crystal although i can't stand the repetitive words of that song. maybe WALTSO. i know everybody else wants to probably hear the whole BN album, but that's enough for me.:p

[elle]

They can play it back to back with Walk a Thin Line ;) and test both of our patience.

how don't you like WATL? did you hear deerhunter version? when i first bought Tusk i had that song (both album and extra version) on a loop over and over for two days!:xoxo:

Could you imagine how crazy the place would go, if they launched into that??!!! We'd never hear the song over the crowd!

I would love to hear That's Alright from Stevie and Book of Love from Lindsey! .....of course there are many more but those are definitely my top two. :D

that's that rockabilly sounding song right? i could go for that...

[PenguinHead]

Me too, for Lindsey's guitar intro. They played Running Through the Garden too, briefly, right? :shrug: Not on the list above, but again, I like the song, and Lindsey's solo, so I'd be good with them giving it another try.

I believe Running Through The Garden was only performed once. Destiny Rules was performed at least several times before it was dropped.

I didn't include those songs in the "never performed" list, for the fact they were performed, however fleetingly (is that a word?)

It bores me. :sorry: Unless, of course, I'm playing the whole album...then it's fine. But I don't want it in a concert w/o it's fellow Tusk songs. And nope, never heard that version. Care to share it?

[PenguinHead]

You're right. I don't think Stevie or Lindsey have any idea how happy and crazy their fans would be if they simply busted out some of these songs in concert (and get off their asses and re-release the album (with lots of bonus tracks).

They look great, but they are going through the motions along with the recorded track! Good lip synching from Stevie!

[GoldDustGypsy]

that's that rockabilly sounding song right? i could go for that...

Sure is. It's a personal favorite of mine..... I'm a huge Mirage fan. :thumbsup:

[PenguinHead]

Really? Any time the subject is brought up in interviews, he seems so ambivilent about it.

[Lindsfan]

Really? Any time the subject is brought up in interviews, he seems so ambivilent about it.

My memory's not always great, but from the accounts and recordings I heard of the interview ( I wasn't there ) he spoke a LOT about it. I think the ambivilance in the past was him trying to be diplomatic and not put Stevie on the spot. But that was then...

[elle]

Really? Any time the subject is brought up in interviews, he seems so ambivilent about it.

somebody must have covered it in all our reviews from 92Y convo - look through that thread on lindsey board. he was very frank about it, although i think that's the part of the conversation he ended with "i better not say anything more, stevie will get mad at me". :lol:

never heard that version. Care to share it?

One More Night

Isn't this a "Live" song??

Well fortunately they finally played STORMS at the Unleashed tour, a dream came true to me. so my wish list would be:

Welcome To The Room, Sara (yeah, though I know many of you hate this song)
Affairs of the heart
As long as you follow
Thrown Down
Mystifed
Tango in the night

LINDSEY"S SONGS

The Ledge
Murrow Turning Over In His Grave
Love Minus Zero/No Limit




Ok, just to make sure...you ARE talking "Fleetwood Mac", right?

"I Don't Want To Know" was played live by Buckingham Nicks

"Murrow" was done live at Lindsey's Boston Soundstage

"Love Minus Zero/No Limit" was done at one of Stevie's AHI Benefits, if memory serves.

(and, also just confirming that you know "Love Minus Zero/No Limit" IS a Bob Dylan song, right?)

And, I'm pretty sure that "The Ledge" WAS played at a few (but not many) Tusk tour shows...with Lindsey playing a Fender VI baritone/bass guitar on the song (as he did on The Dance tour on "Farmer's Daughter")..at least he's been PHOTOGRAPHED in that time frame, on stage with one.

David? Confirm please!

as Lindsfan and i both already stated - yes, LB performed Murrow and LMZ live before.

and i forgot, but yes i've seen vids of Ledge performed on the Tusk tour, and if not it is definitely on Tusk tour rehearsals videos that can be found on youtube.

David? Confirm please!

Please understand (I edited the initial post to make it clear) I'm not addressing all songs that were performed live in varied instances (such as one-off benefit shows, solo outings, etc), but just those in the context of a Fleetwood Mac show. To my knowLEDGE, The Ledge was only rehearsed for the Tusk tour, but it never made the set list. And, yes I know Lindsey/Fleetwood Mac is covering a Bob Dylan song.

[Artemis]

I will never, ever, ever understand why they haven't performed Thrown Down live. It's so obviously the best song from SYW, and I don't think it would be incredibly challenging for them to do it live...

I'd love to see Miranda live, too. I can sorta see why they haven't played IDWTK since Stevie doesn't like the song at all, but, with it being performed on Glee... it would make sense to bust the song out.

Really though, I'd just love for them to acknowledge that they made albums in other decades apart from the 70s. :laugh: Gypsy and Big Love are the only songs that still get played from albums made after Tusk now, I think? That's just saaad.

Someone mentioned Crystal. According to Mick's book, the band DID perform that song during their first shows preceding the release of the White Album. My assumption is John McVie pushed for that, since it was his idea to include it on the album.

[elle]

Red Rover (didn't see it on the original list, but did they ever perform this?)
Murrow


Lindsey performed Red Rover solo on Soundstage, same as Murrow - so neither one of these was performed by FM - at least that's my understanding. there was a mention a while ago in one of the forums that FM may have performed Red Rover at some point during SYW tour - not sure whether that's true or not, but i remember either Lindsey or somebody in his solo band commenting how they had to put it together to make sure that it sounds right for the Soundstage - so i would assume it was definitely not performed ever before the Soundstage.

EDIT: i agree with you, i would love to hear RR live again.

[bangdrum]

They did Red Rover on the SYW tour. Second leg, I guess? I saw them do it at Jones Beach in 2004. Remember it distinctly because the stage lights were blue and white.

I know for sure they played it in Marysville, CA and Madison, WI on SYW tour. Maybe a few other dates as well. :shrug:

I, too, would love to hear it live again!

[Villavic]

I Don't Want To Know" was played live by Buckingham Nicks

Interesting. When?

Yes, second leg (when they also added Sara.) They did it in Hershey, PA as well.

[MacShadowsBall]

It really is a shamed that more songs from Mirage/TITN haven't been done live.

[chiliD]

Interesting. When?

Their final series of shows in Alabama in '74.

[Artemis]

Interesting. When?

They sang it really well, too!

Definitely. Although I want FM to do it, Lindsey could even a version of that at his solo shows without the band.

LINDSEY"S SONGS

Caroline
Tango In The Night
^ Even tho I am a huge chiffonhead, I would prefer to hear these two songs live more than any of the of the Stevie ones. They would both kick ass live! I don't see why Linds never pulled them out.

[vivfox]

I'd be perfectly happy hearing any song from their catalogue that has never been performed before, including the songs I don't like. For example, I hate the song Oh Diane but if Lindsey were to sing it live I would hold my cell phone(aka lighter) up in the air and sway my arms around and sing it loud and proud like a true fan. I wish they would toss out every song they have performed before and replace them with songs they've never sung in concert. And if they wanted to make a ton more money and make things more exciting for the fans, then they could switch the song sets up in a different order for every show. It would make Stevie so dizzy she would twirl herself right off the stage and into our arms.

[caroline79]

Caroline could have been so amazing if they had played it live :distress: That would be my top pick without a doubt.

[AliceLover]

STEVIE'S SONGS

I Don't Want To Know - This would have to be dropped down a few steps vocally, but I think it would turn out alright. I love the album version, perfect song to play on a sunny day.

No Questions Asked - While this song is completely a mess in terms of structure (i'm not a musician, just observing), I love the vocals.

Affairs Of The Heart - Probably would flop live, but its one of my favorites.

Not Make Believe - Less lead guitar, more synth. This would be a perfect modern day 'dreams.' Would be perfect in the 2nd or 3rd slot in the set. I think Lindseys version for SYW is PERFECT.

Running Through the Garden - I regularly play the live version from 05/2003 in Columbus, Ohio. This song definitely had potential to reach 'Sisters of the Moon/Stand Back' levels live in concert.

LINDSEY"S SONGS

Can't Go Back - This and BOL paired back to back in concert would be dreamy.

Book Of Love - This would definitely be tough to recreate live in concert, vocally. But I think just Mick, John, and Lindsey playing on this would be stellar.

Miranda - I never understood why he did every other song from Say You Will except this one. It's definitely concert and radio friendly.

Steal Your Heart Away - This song is so dreamy. Another chance for SnL to share harmonies.

^ Wow, looking at Lindsey's list of songs with the band (sans live tracks) really is shocking. Lindsey's solo material is so much stronger, IMO.

^ Also, whichever "You and I" it is that has the fairlyland type intro should be played as they take the stage.

CHRISTINE"S SONGS (for the record) -----> For the hell of it, Christine did her best songs live, anyway.

Warm Ways - This could be AWESOME live. However, I think the energy of the show would have to be taken down, so maybe put this at the end of the acoustic set. Also, Blue Letter would HAVE to follow this on stage. Talk about great sequencing.

As Long As You Follow - How the hell was this never done? I still to this day hear it in every supermarket I go to. I suppose the GH album did come out at the end of the Tango tour.

Heart Of Stone - This would be painfully good live. The musical intro alone is enough to get everyone out of their seats.

Love Shines - Oh how I wish we could have had a live version. Top 5 Chris songs of all time.

Skies The Limit - I never understood why they chose to ignore this one too. It was a single and had the "Mac" written all over it. Love the video, too. Chris' material from 87-92' is so underrated. Most of it matches up to her stuff from the White Album and Rumours, IMO.

[On Ice]

I think Tango in the Night would be a great opening track and could easily be re-worked to a chain-like kind of duet with Nicks. I felt that was a missed opportunity (another one :shrug:) for the album itself. Tango was a huge album and the title track deserves a workout. I'm so Afraid would have to go though. Also a few more Tusk tunes also deserve dusting off, without a doubt That's Enough For Me, Walk a Thin Line and The Ledge (Stevie I think could also pull off Never Forget). As for Mirage, Straight Back could work as would a surprise If you Were My Love. Let's not forget a couple of Say You will gems, I agree about Thrown Down and Miranda being killer concert staples, time to drop the solo stuff from Mac shows.

[fleetwoodtrick]

For those of you that haven't heard it, there is a "live" version of Straight Back... from a Mirage tour rehearsal. I love this, it would've been fabulous live :(((

It would make Stevie so dizzy she would twirl herself right off the stage and into our arms.

I'm always impressed by bands that can switch up their set lists at a whim, and don't feel the pressure to peform their popular/hits. These bands have fan bases that are satisifed with whatever they play - even deep album tracks and obscure material. But Fleetwood Mac just isn't one of those bands, and certain segments of their audience aren't those kind of fans; their mentality being "they have to play these songs - I'm paying good money - if I don't hear these songs, then it's just a big rip off! That show sucked!"

I don't understand that! I lovr your idea - do something radical --give a rest to all the songs they have performed into the ground for the last twenty-something years, and give us a completely different show. Since they promoted their last tour as a greatest hits tour, do the opposite and promote a "The Unexpected/Anything Can Happen" tour.

On this tour ex members of FM could appear onstage and perform 3 songs of their choice from their FM catalogue.

Yes, I agree, Tango In the Night could easily replace The Chain as a show opener. The Chain can be placed at the end of show, much like it was when it was first performed on the Rumours tour. Off topic: On Ice is a nice clever screen name.

[On Ice]

On Ice is a nice clever screen name

Thx ditto for Penguin Head... On Ice for me represents all of the many missed opportunities that I feel the band passed by. Sorcerer I believe would have been a smokin' hot mac tune on the white album and if it had come to pass, I'm sure would have been considered a classic and we'd be posting the many awesome live versions over the years. (not to mention all of the other Stevie awesomeness that sadly stayed in the vault).

For me, that "Come over, let me put you on ice" line is very provocative. An invitation. I love it, especially the way Stevie phrases it sometimes with a strategic pause: "let me put you . . . on ice".

It reminds me of Long Distance Winner where she says, "you're too hot to touch. You're too hot to touch." And in Sorcerer she has the answer for that.

STEVIE'S SONGS

I Don't Want To Know - This would have to be dropped down a few steps vocally, but I think it would turn out alright. I love the album version, perfect song to play on a sunny day.

No Questions Asked - While this song is completely a mess in terms of structure (i'm not a musician, just observing), I love the vocals.

Affairs Of The Heart - Probably would flop live, but its one of my favorites.

Not Make Believe - Less lead guitar, more synth. This would be a perfect modern day 'dreams.' Would be perfect in the 2nd or 3rd slot in the set. I think Lindseys version for SYW is PERFECT.

Running Through the Garden - I regularly play the live version from 05/2003 in Columbus, Ohio. This song definitely had potential to reach 'Sisters of the Moon/Stand Back' levels live in concert.

LINDSEY"S SONGS

Can't Go Back - This and BOL paired back to back in concert would be dreamy.

Book Of Love - This would definitely be tough to recreate live in concert, vocally. But I think just Mick, John, and Lindsey playing on this would be stellar.

Miranda - I never understood why he did every other song from Say You Will except this one. It's definitely concert and radio friendly.

Steal Your Heart Away - This song is so dreamy. Another chance for SnL to share harmonies.

^ Wow, looking at Lindsey's list of songs with the band (sans live tracks) really is shocking. Lindsey's solo material is so much stronger, IMO.

^ Also, whichever "You and I" it is that has the fairlyland type intro should be played as they take the stage.

CHRISTINE"S SONGS (for the record) -----> For the hell of it, Christine did her best songs live, anyway.

Warm Ways - This could be AWESOME live. However, I think the energy of the show would have to be taken down, so maybe put this at the end of the acoustic set. Also, Blue Letter would HAVE to follow this on stage. Talk about great sequencing.

As Long As You Follow - How the hell was this never done? I still to this day hear it in every supermarket I go to. I suppose the GH album did come out at the end of the Tango tour.

Heart Of Stone - This would be painfully good live. The musical intro alone is enough to get everyone out of their seats.

Love Shines - Oh how I wish we could have had a live version. Top 5 Chris songs of all time.

Skies The Limit - I never understood why they chose to ignore this one too. It was a single and had the "Mac" written all over it. Love the video, too. Chris' material from 87-92' is so underrated. Most of it matches up to her stuff from the White Album and Rumours, IMO.

Totally agree! Heart of Stone is killer. I was listening to it in my car last night and I had to keep replaying it because I had almost forgotten how good it is!

I love Heart of Stone too and, like Behind The Mask, it has a hard tone to it that is not like Christine and very delicious, in its bite.

"For me, that "Come over, let me put you on ice" line is very provocative. An invitation. I love it, especially the way Stevie phrases it sometimes with a strategic pause: "let me put you . . . on ice".

Me too...this is one of Stevie's most interesting songs from a melody and lyric point of view. I wish I could have been in the room when the band was allegedly considering recording this song and locked them all in a room and not let them out until they did it. Could you imagine how insane this would have been in those early concerts along with the Rhiannon phenomenon?
