Predictions: Peter, Jeremy, and/or Danny songs

[MacShadowsBall]

Here's the first voting thread for the upcoming 2013 FM tour.

Do you predict there will be a Peter, Jeremy, or Danny song in the setlist? If so, what Peter/Danny/Jeremy song(s) you predict FM will do. :cool:

[HomerMcvie]

Oh well, and nothing more.

Oh well, and nothing more.

agree. nothing else has a chance to be in the set. oh well has some chance.

(and i would love to hear oh well live.)

[SteveMacD]

Oh well, and nothing more.

Yep.:distress:

[Macfanforever]

"Oh Well" probably be on the set list.I don't know on the others.We will see in April.

[HomerMcvie]

It's all because they're still(stupidly, artistically) under the Rumours spell....that if they did Station Man, that no one would know the song...


In their defense, 90% of the crowd, wouldn't know the song! But it would be such a dog bone, for those of us that have supported them, all of our lives.

But they're playing the "seat numbers"(milking the teat), now. Because that's who they've become......:o:distress:

We all gots bills to pay, and I'm sure theirs are 100 fold, ours....

[CADreaming]

I would love to hear Station Man or Why - but without Christine I don't know...

[holidayroad]

There probably will be none, but I wish they would include some of Danny's songs. I like quite a few of them!

[On Ice]

Oh Well stands a chance but the band likes to pretend that Kirwan, Spencer and Welch didn't exist and instead play Stand Back and Go Insane, over and over (wouldn't mind at all if Christine showed up and sang that wonderful tune :)) again. I would say not a chance of hearing any of the material from these extremely talented former band mates.

[The Catdancer]

Oh well, and nothing more.

Yup, that's about it. Would love to hear their version of Need Your Love So Bad though. I don't think that will ever happen. Too bad if you ask me.

They'd better damned well play a Bob Welch song ("Hypnotized" or "Sentimental Lady") this tour as a tribute to a fallen compatriot! :nod:

Mick had better been layin' down the law to Lindsey that they WILL be playing a Bob Welch song, so he'd better get to choosing which one he's going to do.

Especially since we'll never have the chance to see Bob play his own tunes live...and probably not Danny either, but at least there's the remotest of chances, considering his health & state of being. And, Jeremy, of course, is still active in the biz, so we have the opportunity to see him play whether he plays any of his songs from his Fleetwood Mac days or not.

In the past 24 months (or less), Fleetwood Mac has lost members...this is the first tour they've done since that reality...so there'd better be SOME sort of tribute to the "Three Bobs" at some point in the set; even if it is a verbal mention. But, since Bob Welch was one of their major songwriters during his tenure, at least ONE song should be included in their set. It would be the rudest of omissions if they don't. It would make the Hall of Fame snub seem as insignificant as somebody using the wrong fork at a formal dinner.

Only one song of Peter Green: Oh Well. I vote for it, but it's hard to say...
And I agree with your comments above: they won't play any song of Danny, Bob Welch or any other member from the past. Oh Well could be an exception, but it's unlikely.
Regards!

What's been the setlist history of "Oh Well" since '75? I know it was done on the 2009 tour. Do any other Peter songs have a chance of being performed besides "Oh Well"?

Personally with Stevie and Lindsey new albums and the new songs, BN anniversary, and Welch's passing, I predict no Peter/Danny/Jeremy songs in the setlist. :cool:

[vivfox]

When speaking to a Canadian radio station Mick mentioned something about possibly performing Black Magic Woman. That would be awesome!

Oh snap! That changes things. Could there be room in the setlist for Black Magic Woman and Oh Well?

Thanks vivfox for that news. Latest news regarding the song choices helps predict what the Mac will do. :cool:

I'd love to see them do "Hypnotized" as a tribute to Bobs Welch and Weston. However, I'd rather hear Stevie sing it, because she could totally nail it (especially "Because there's no explaining what your imagination can make you see and feel").

[Bumperke]

if they do, please let it be 'show me a smile'??? i know its Chris's. Dragonfly would be nice.

[Nicks Fan]

As I recall Oh Well was played up until the 95 Time Tour and then it was dropped until the Unleashed tour in 2009 when it was brought back.

The band should in my opinion play 2-3 songs from the Bob Welch/Peter Green era as a tip of the hat to the former members. If this is the last tour then they should be focusing on all of the various lineup's of Fleetwood Mac.

What was the crowd reaction to Oh Well during Unleashed? Does Lindsey like doing the song? I'm sure John and Mick enjoy doing it. :cool:

In Pittsburgh during the first show in 2009 it was well received and a LOT of people were singing along. It was never dropped during the tour so I'd say that Lindsey liked doing it and the band as a whole felt the audience reaction to the song was good.

[aleuzzi]

Heck, When I see You Again has a better chance than any non-Oh well song before 1975.

:laugh: But you know, I do think there's going to be some kind of catchall memorial song. Maybe not an oldie, but perhaps one of the new ones that they've penned and it will be for everyone, not just Welch.

Yep. A crime, because I've always considered THAT to be Fleetwood Mac's signature song. It's been a staple since its release, save for the KH, Dance, and SYW tours.

Well, according to Stevie, it won't be, unless one of them dies. Assuming that doesn't happen, I think 2-3 is a fair number, actually, if we're talking about Bob/Peter/Danny/Jeremy songs. I'd up it to five if we're adding pre-75 Christine songs, since she was their bandmate. However, I also want 2-3 Buckingham Nicks songs. Also, if they do solo songs, then they should do "Warewolves of London", which would be amazing!

[MacShadowsBall]

Looks like the overall vote is kinda split between those who predict no Peter/Danny/Jeremy songs and those who predict Oh Well will be in the setlist.

"No songs in the setlist" got the most votes, so that will reflect the official Ledge Prediction Setlist. :cool:
