Vote For The 2014 Set List- Competition

[Musicman408]

New tour in 2014. Possibly the last one. How about we vote for our realistic dream set list and hope the band catches wind?!?!

New tour in 2014. Possibly the last one. How about we vote for our realistic dream set list and hope the band catches wind?!?!

do you want realistic or dream? because realistic setlist in FM case will never have much to do with dream one. changing 2 songs is nobody's dream setllist.

i'm now as jaded as others were 2 years ago, before live 2013 tour started. i gave up on expecting anything from their setlists. :shrug: and i refuse to put together a "realistic dream" setlist. i already put together a realistic one, long time ago, when we received a first whiff of CM being back.

i'm only interested in a complete dream setlists. the ones that will never happen but people can dream.

[WatchChain]

Back in the 1990's I had all but given up on a Stevie Nicks "DREAM SETLIST". I mean, seriously, she played the same tired set list from 1983-1994 (very few songs were changed for each solo tour).

THEN, lo and behold, the "Enchanted Tour" came along. It thought I had died and gone to heaven when Stevie dusted off some very old or never performed numbers for the tour:

Sleeping Angel
Rose Garden
After The Glitter Fades
Twisted
Gold and Braid
Enchanted (at that time not played since 1983)
Garbo

So, there's always hope.

[elle]

I agree with Elle.
i learned from you. and last year's experience.

and yet i did put above the FM setlist that i would enjoy hearing, but of course will never happen. ;)

i also realized i put on that setlist some LB songs that i wouldn't put on my dream LB solo setlist because there are many more interesting solo ones i want to hear... but for FM setlist they are good enough. :p

oh, and i forgot to put Love Minus Zero somewhere on that setlist too.

[michelej1]

i also realized i put on that setlist some LB songs that i wouldn't put on my dream LB solo setlist because there are many more interesting solo ones i want to hear... but for FM setlist they are good enough. :p



May Holiday Road, Trouble and WTWCT never be absent from another LB solo setlist.

Michele

[elle]

May Holiday Road, Trouble and WTWCT never be absent from another LB solo setlist.

Michele

:p

i actually wouldn't mind hearing Holiday Road live. we even requested it at Dec 30th Vegas show. figured it was fitting since it was the holidays. :D

Trouble and WTWCT should not be ever even mentioned, let alone performed.

[michelej1]

:p

i actually wouldn't mind hearing Holiday Road live. we even requested it at Dec 30th Vegas show. figured it was fitting since it was the holidays. :D



I liked Holiday Road for the little ripple of recognition that went through the audience when it started. It got people bouncing on their feet. And I like having LB silly and playful. BUT after a whole tour, I had kind of had enough.

We 1/2 agree!! I despise WTWCT.

[iamnotafraid]

I'm not going to a show unless they add Suspicious Minds to
the set list.

[Ulpian]

They'll probably do The Dance setlist, but for MLD, BTLH, TO and SG they'll substitute new songs. Oh, and I suppose if im making that sweeping statement, Farmer's Daughter will probably be replaced by maybe World Turning...

[Japhry]

[Japhry]

of course...I put no forethought into the actual sequencing other than the encores....

[Japhry]

on second thought I would switch out Running Through The Garden and make sure Rhiannon is in the set...:laugh:

[iamnotafraid]

Seven Wonders




YES!!!!!!!

[gssmith]

I'll take what ever they play because they have so many hits. They have to play to reach the biggest audience, which are casual fans that have bought 50% of their albums and the White Witch fans.
I just wish they'd switch up the order of the songs besides opening with the chain.

[welcomechris]

Some different songs I want to hear are....

Believe Me
I Don't Want To Know
Honey Hi
Seven Wonders
Frozen Love
Skies the Limit
Running through the Garden
Hold Me

[Neal]

I think it'd be cool if they did a set of sub-sets representing each album. It'll never happen of course, but this is a dream, right? ;)


Kick it off with Rumours, since that's still what the most people will recognize:

The Chain
Dreams
You Make Loving Fun
Gold Dust Woman
Oh Daddy
Go Your Own Way

Now that they have everyone's attention follow up with something a little less hit-laden:

Hold Me
Eyes of the World
Thats Alright
Love In Store
Gypsy

Then let Lindsey have his moment:

What Makes You Think You're The One
Save Me A Place
Brown Eyes
Sisters of the Moon
Think About Me
Sara
Walk A Thin Line

Save the best for (almost) last:

Everywhere
Big Love (studio version, please!)
Isn't It Midnight
Seven Wonders
Little Lies
Tango In The Night

Wrap up with another round for the casual fans:

Monday Morning
Over My Head
Say You Love Me
Rhiannon

A little too long, but I suppose they could throw a medley in somewhere to save time. Even thoug I despise medleys...

I love this idea, and it's totally doable....lots of hits to keep the audience engaged. And it's only about 3 songs too long. Lindsey wouldn't do all of three of those Tusk tracks, and I don't think you'd ever get That's Alright. Then lose one Chris song (Oh Daddy), and I think you've got it!

Yeah, I know my favorite LB songs on Tusk are probably the least likely to ever be played, but I figure just having such a Tusk heavy set would earn me points!

Obviously "Don't Stop" would be Chris' other Rumours song, but I'd personally be fine if I never heard it again... :o

I think "That's Alright" actually has a better chance than "Straight Back", even though I prefer the latter.

[TrueFaith77]

With Christine's return, this gives the Mac the unusual opportunity to do a "Greatest Hits" tour with special emphasis on songs from Rumours (they should do all the Rumours songs except Oh, Daddy and I Don't Want to Know--but throw in Silver Springs OMG!!!!). That's my wish! Do you think their "people" read the ledge? Karen, if you're reading: pass it on! We want HITS and RUMOURS!!!!

[Japhry]

I think that it would be really really sweet if Lindsey could debut "Tango in the Night" live on this tour and replace the very overdone "Big Love". Seriously. it is one of his most beautiful guitar solos EVER. Some Tango Representation on this comeback tour I think would be very appropriate. "Tango", "7W", and Christine could have ""Lies" OR "Isn't it Midnight". :nod:

[jbrownsjr]

I would love to hear, "Don't Look Down" with FM. As long as we're dreaming.. Great opening tune. The crowd would be so confused. ;)

[elle]

I would love to hear, "Don't Look Down" with FM. As long as we're dreaming.. Great opening tune. The crowd would be so confused. ;)

yeah they would. i would love Don't Look Down as an opener, but then again there are so many of his other solo songs that i'd wanna hear too.

That's my wish! Do you think their "people" read the ledge? Karen, if you're reading: pass it on! We want HITS and RUMOURS!!!!

They must've seen the last last three tours as "unusual opportunities" as well, because I'm pretty sure they played the bulk of Rumours then, too! ;)

I for one would love to hear "Oh Daddy" and "I Don't Want To Know"! They're the only 2 songs off that album that haven't been completely played out.

[MacShadowsBall]

Actually, I would love for them to play the entire Rumours album live and in order. The only song never done live is I Don't Want to Know, so with Christine returning it is very feasible for this to be done. I believe Heart and the Beach Boys have done this on their past tours, playing whole albums. :cool:

Seriously. it is one of his most beautiful guitar solos EVER. Some Tango Representation on this comeback tour I think would be very appropriate. "Tango", "7W", and Christine could have ""Lies" OR "Isn't it Midnight". :nod:

Tango in the Night has been a dream live song for me since Lindsey was back with the band in 1997. There are a handful of songs I'd give my eye teeth to hear played live and TITN is definitely one of them.

I agree that there should be some representation for the Tango record on this tour. If they do Big Love, it should be the album version instead of the acoustic that has been done for ages now, although swapping BL out for TITN would be the best thing. Lindsey could make me a very happy woman if he'd play TITN this time around! :nod:

[MacShadowsBall]

I would like a Tango in the Night foursome like they did with Tusk last year. Maybe something like, Isn't It Midnight, Everywhere, Big Love, and Tango in the Night. It kinda gives Stevie a break from leading, though I would love to hear When I See You Again with Stevie and Lindsey just like it's done on the record. :cool:

Prior to AHS, I would have said the same thing. The fact that by several accounts, Stevie herself brought up the song to Ryan Murphy gives me a glimmer of hope that she might be persuaded to perform it.

[Wdm6789]

All the hits we want to hear from 1975-1987.

With Christine back I really want to see "say you love me" "you make loving fun" "hold me" and "little lies" or "everywhere" added to the set list.

They should start touring in the spring of 2015. This fall is too soon. They just did a tour.

[SteveMacD]

If they have Christine with them, it's not too soon.

[mottabam]

If they have Christine with them, it's not too soon.

I agree. Christine returning to the band is major. Stevie's recent appearances on AHS have created buzz about her and Fleetwood Mac especially with the younger generation on twitter and other social media.

I do believe they should tour with a new album or some type of physical product released with a single including Christine.

As long as Chris sings You Make Lovin Fun, Think About Me, Little Lies, and Say You Love Me, I'll be a happy camper. Honestly, I could do without Everywhere.

I really think Stevie should consider singing Seven Wonders for this upcoming tour.

[Wdm6789]

Also, no backup singers. There are three lead singers. No need for backup singers. It takes away from Lindsey, Stevie and Christine's vocals. Like in the 1987 tour videos and the dance tour videos, the backup singers are kind of unnecessary.

[Montclare]

My 2014 dream set list-

The Chain
Temporary One

I Don't Want to Know
Love in Store
New Stevie song
The Ledge
Angel
Brown Eyes

Rhiannon
Hold Me
Eyes of the World

New Lindsey song
Never Make Me Cry
Never Going Back Again
Storms
I'm So Afraid
World Turning
Sisters of the Moon
I Know I'm Not Wrong
New Christine song
Silver Springs
Go Your Own Way
Songbird

I'd also like to see Big Love, Sad Angel, Oh Well, Say Goodbye, and Tusk, but was trying to split it evenly amongst the three of them.

[jmn3]

Also, no backup singers. There are three lead singers. No need for backup singers. It takes away from Lindsey, Stevie and Christine's vocals. Like in the 1987 tour videos and the dance tour videos, the backup singers are kind of unnecessary.

While I may agree with your sentiment, Stevie has toured once since 1981 (the Mirage Tour in 1982) without her "girls"...no way is that going to stop now with Christine back in the fold.

I think all three of the lead singers rely on the background singers these days.

[iamnotafraid]

do you want realistic or dream?

If one can dream, I'd prefer them only to
sing songs from The White Stripes.

A Seven Wonders Army couldn't hold me back...

[Wdm6789]

Stevie songs:

Dreams
Seven wonders (I loved this song long before American horror story, but now there's a reason for them to perform this again)
Sara
Gypsy
Gold dust woman
Rhiannon
I would love to see That alright, but that would be like on my fantasy set list
Sister of the moon



Lindsey songs:

Crystal
I'm so afraid
Go your own way
Second hand news
Never going back or I don't want to know
Empire State (I guess that's another fantasy set list one, but Lindsey had some great songs on Mirage)
Big love
Family man (fantasy set list)
Not that funny



Christine songs:

Say you love me
You make loving fun
Don't stop
Hold me
Little lies
Everywhere
Isn't it midnight
Love in store (kind of fantasy set list, they should do this one)
Songbird
Only over you (another fantasy set list)



And of course The Chain.
World turning (I'm putting it here because I don't know if it was Lindsey's or Christine's or both)

[iamnotafraid]

Only over you

It's a good ass song. I actually like it more than songbird or oh daddy. Only over you and wish you were here from mirage were great. Mystified from tango is really good too.

[jbrownsjr]

It's a good ass song. I actually like it more than songbird or oh daddy. Only over you and wish you were here from mirage were great. Mystified from tango is really good too.

I love all those tune as well. Don't know if, "Only Over You" would come off too well live but, "Wish You Were Here" might be a great jam.

[iamnotafraid]

LOL, you're not the only Ledgie who has requested this dud.


It's more than a dud. It gives me the same feeling as
when someone runs their fingernails down a chalkboard.

I would hesitate to erase any recorded material from
Fleetwood Mac's catalog. But Only Over You and Ricky
would cease to exist if I had that power.

[michelej1]

It's a good ass song. I actually like it more than songbird or oh daddy. Only over you and wish you were here from mirage were great. Mystified from tango is really good too.

Yes, I like Only Over You about 10 times more than Oh Daddy. And I like it more than Songbird too, although objectively I know that Songbird is probably better, but just as a personal preference, I take Only Over You over it. Songbird and Why are songs that I don't get into deeply, but I understand why everyone else loves them.

But I've never heard Why live. I might easily be blown away by it.

Mystified is great too. Michele

[WayOfTheDragon]

:wavey: This is my first post on The Ledge... might as well just jump in, I guess...

Since 2014 is the 35th anniversary of the Tusk album, I continued the Tusk mini-set idea from the last tour (but I put in more than 4 songs, because I couldn't narrow it down to just 4). I included "Angel" since it is the only Stevie Tusk song that has not made a re-appearance on stage since the SYW Tour. But I hope they keep "Sisters of the Moon" in the set too, since it was one of my favorites on the 2013 tour.

I really hope they do "Little Lies" and "Hold Me" this time around, since they're 2 of my favorites and both were skipped during The Dance tour.

I didn't put in spots for new songs yet, since it was hard enough to narrow down the song choices anyway-- when the new material comes out, I'll probably just come up with another set list. :shrug:

I can't believe you don't like "only over you", it's one of my favorites from mirage, it's one of those songs you can just close your eyes and let the music take you.


I just really don't want the band to dedicate too much time playing new songs on the tour. I am much more concerned with seeing all the classics. I'm in my 20s so I have never seen Fleetwood Mac, the classic lineup, I saw the foursome back in 2009 and again last year. It would be a huge check on my bucket list to see the five of them live, in person not just on YouTube.

I think all three of the lead singers rely on the background singers these days.

Plus I think the back-up singers make a nice enhancement to the stage set. They always sound great, look nice, and dance/sway along in a professional manner. I like them.

I used to enjoy having an extra percussionist on stage as well. Not including the guy or guys hidden behind the curtain.:laugh:

I'm in my 20s so I have never seen Fleetwood Mac, the classic lineup, I saw the foursome back in 2009 and again last year. It would be a huge check on my bucket list to see the five of them live, in person not just on YouTube.



First and most importantly I hope you're able to see the 5.
And it's always cool to know that people under the age of
40 (or so), like Fleetwood Mac.

I don't think you should worry about them playing new songs
on the tour. They are after all Fleetwood Mac. I do hope they
prove me wrong. Two new songs from each of the three writers
would be fine with me. And if so, they'd better put out a Blu ray
of this tour.

Only Over You is hard to listen to when she sings the
part I'm out of my mind. I wish I could write it out like
she sings it. Egad it's horrible. Cringeworthy for sure.

It's not that I don't like Christine, I really do. And it's not
like I feel that way about many of her songs. Even though
I didn't like one song from In The Meantime, none of
them make me feel the way Only Over You and Ricky
does.

Christine isn't alone in this. Stevie has the Street Angel
album and Lindsey has the It Was I video. There are
more, but I'll be nice and stop here.

My parents like Fleetwood Mac, I can remember being on some road trip as a kid and The Dance had just came out, we listened to that cd the entire car trip. I think that's where it started. My dad was a hippie in the late 60s-early 70s and saw Fleetwood Mac live a couple times both with different personnel, once before Christine joined and once when Christine was in the band, but before Stevie and Lindsey joined.


I think six new songs out of a 20-22 song set list is too many, maybe one new song from each writer if they have to play new songs. I don't doubt that they will be good and I do believe that some artists are timeless, but I just have never been interested in classic artists' new material, post heyday material. If I'm going to pay $200+ for great tickets to see these great timelessly classic artists, I want to see them performing their timelessly classic songs. And for Fleetwood Mac that time period was 1975-1987. I paid $400 for my Fleetwood Mac ticket last summer, I could have gotten a better price but I didn't get my tickets until a month before the show and I had to get good seats, what if it was their last tour or something? Anyway, I paid $400 and when they played their two or three new songs is when I went to the bathroom and to get more beer.


To each his own I guess, I think only over you is a great song, and in a great album, I can listen to mirage all the way through and not want to skip any songs.

I don't listen to any of the stuff they put out after Tango, except for The Dance, but that's just live greatest hits. And "as long as you follow" I love that song. And I really hate that Lindsey didn't do the Tango tour back in 87, those tour videos would be so much better with Lindsey instead of those other two guys. Damnit Lindsey why didn't you wait until after the tour to quit. Lol

[BLY]

For me a MAC concert goer since the Rumours tour, I would like to hear the following in addition to at least 4 new songs and the " must dos"

I Don't Want To Know
Big Love ( band version)
The Ledge
Tango In The Night
Seven Wonders
Never Forget

You saw the Rumours tour, Tusk tour and Mirage tour? I am beyond jealous.

[elle]

If I'm going to pay $200+ for great tickets to see these great timelessly classic artists, I want to see them performing their timelessly classic songs.

yeah but do you want their "timeless classic hits" or you want Only Over You? ;)

i have seen just one tour (2013) but i feel like as far as the content goes, i basically saw every tour since Rumours since the content is almost exactly the same (other than no CM songs on the last tour). so i don't really want to see that yet again. if the album is done before the tour they should each do 2 new songs. but they won't, probably, so you'll get what you want. :shrug:

Sad Angel was one of the highlights of the last year's tour for me, you missed out by going to buy beer. they played only 2 new songs, btw.

i understand what you are saying about legendary bands needing to do hits and that's what i want to hear too when i go to see a legendary band for which i am only a casual fan. and i understand that's what FM needs to play too, but they just stick to that hits-script much much more than any other legendary band i've seen. hits means maybe not the whole new album but just 6 songs, it doesn't mean doing every.single.half-hit. they ever had.

[BLY]

I missed the Tusk tour(totally sucked) it was during t-day vacation and I had no wheels during my freshman year in college. This was the only MAC tour I missed and it still makes me mad. I loved this album when it came out.......and of course I still do.

[WayOfTheDragon]

My dad was a hippie in the late 60s-early 70s and saw Fleetwood Mac live a couple times both with different personnel, once before Christine joined and once when Christine was in the band, but before Stevie and Lindsey joined.

That's cool, the Future Games/Bare Trees lineup is one of my favorites. I wish there was more live material available from that era. I first became a FM fan around 1999 when I saw Stevie on TV performing a piano version of "Rhiannon" (I think it was in connection with the Enchanted box set release). She was actually playing the piano, like on the demo. Just based on that one performance, I bought a tape of The Dance and realized I liked all of the members' songs. Soon I was trading tapes through the mail for older FM concerts and demos (Hard to believe it was still the era of tape trading :laugh: because it doesn't seem like that long ago). I finally went to my first Mac concert last year. At the time, I'd given up any hope of seeing Christine with the band. Now, it looks like I will get my chance after all! :blob2:

I think six new songs out of a 20-22 song set list is too many, maybe one new song from each writer if they have to play new songs.

I will be surprised if they play more than four new songs on the upcoming tour. Most of their tours beginning with Mirage have had no more than four new songs from the current album at the time. The only exception (I think) was SYW and that was because they did not have to make room for Christine's songs.

I think that the 2014 set list will be very similar to The Dance tour, with four new songs replacing Bleed To Love Her, My Little Demon, Temporary One, and Sweet Girl. Aside from the new songs, maybe 3 or 4 of the old/classic songs played during the Dance tour will be replaced with different old songs.

Songs most likely to be replaced: Go Insane acoustic (will probably be replaced by Never Going Back Again), Farmer's Daughter, Not That Funny

Songs that are less likely to replaced: Everywhere, Gypsy, Stand Back, Second Hand News, Oh Daddy, Silver Springs (Knowing the predictability of Mac set lists, they might not replace any songs from this category. If they replaced 1 or 2 of these, plus the 3 listed above, that leaves room for 4 to 5 different old songs, plus the 4 new songs. Other than that, I don't think they will make any further changes to the set).

Songs that will probably never be replaced: The Chain, Dreams, Gold Dust Woman, I'm So Afraid, Big Love acoustic, Landslide, Say You Love Me, You Make Loving Fun, Rhiannon, Tusk, Go Your Own Way, Don't Stop, Songbird

I don't listen to any of the stuff they put out after Tango, except for The Dance, but that's just live greatest hits.

I got bored with The Dance pretty quickly, when I realized that they had done more exciting performances of most of the same songs on previous tours. The Dance was their most bland set list IMO (no Stevie Tusk songs, no Christine Mirage or Tusk songs, all albums other than Rumours and White were under-represented)-- though I understand why they were going for the "obvious classics" at the time. At least the more recent tours have included a couple unexpected Tusk songs and Eyes of the World.

I'm not as interested in Fleetwood Mac's studio material after Tango, but I thought Sad Angel and Without You really added something special to the 2013 show, even though I haven't listened to Extended Play more than a few times since it was released. Based on their set lists since '82, I still don't expect them to play many songs from a new album, even if it turns out to be a great album.

[Wdm6789]

The two songs I am most excited about are Sara and Not That Funny with Christine back on the piano, should be amazing. I hope that not that funny this time around is more like the 1979-1980 not that funny, on the mirage tour Lindsey's guitar kinda drowned out the piano, but in the tusk tour one Christine's piano is much more prominent.


@elle I stated that only over you would be like a fantasy set list, it's not a song that I'm dying to see them play live, like I am Hold Me and Christine's other songs from Fleetwood Mac and Rumours and Tango.

i do agree with you on wanting to hear Hold Me. i'd love it if they'd do it, but if history can teach us anything, they probably won't. :distress:

i would be shocked if NTF is again on the setlist. it's a non-hit they performed on this tour, and with Christine back and some new songs to add macsters will judge there's no space for non-hits like that one.

did you like punky version of NTF on 2013 tour?

I did enjoy the 2013 one, but the best Not That Funny is the Tusk tour one. It's way better than the album version even.

on the positive side, i don't mind coming to FM fandom so late, because with internet it was so easy to amass tons of info and hear tons of versions so fast. last year's tour i think was pretty great, and i will get to see all 5 this year. but yeah, there are several tours that i wish i was there for in person - for FM or their members those would be Tusk, Lindsey's OOTC, and SYW tours.

[iamnotafraid]

To each his own I guess, I think only over you is a great song...

I really hate that Lindsey didn't do the Tango tour back in 87...

Yes to each his own. Except...

Speaking of Tango. Since we were cheated out of a real
Tango Tour. It's time they made up for it. It would be great
for us and possibly cathartic for them.

They already do Big Love. Seven wonders and Little lies would make nice additions to the set list.

[jjfabbsy]

Would be nice to hear some Christine tracks from "Behind The Mask" - such as "Save Me" or "Skies The Limit"

I think "Skies The Limit" could work as a concert opener to showcase Christine, and then go into "The Chain" if they really really refuse to drop it :)

"Save Me" is an underappreciated Christine McVie gem, IMHO - it's fast enough in tempo, and feels like a classic FM track that even the casuals will get into it!

Sorry To Break This To You, But I Highly Doubt anything from 1987-1995 Will Be Played Ever Again.

However, I Have Been Talking To Dave Mason and We Are Discussing Him Playing "Blow By Blow" on his new tour

[FM77]

With Christine's return, this gives the Mac the unusual opportunity to do a "Greatest Hits" tour with special emphasis on songs from Rumours (they should do all the Rumours songs except Oh, Daddy and I Don't Want to Know--but throw in Silver Springs OMG!!!!). That's my wish! Do you think their "people" read the ledge? Karen, if you're reading: pass it on! We want HITS and RUMOURS!!!!

Stevie already knows (and firmly believes) that people want to hear hits. She knows. This tour will get more of the casual fans and they will pander to that audience. Trust me.

[ikelsey94]

I am thinking that the set-list is going to be pretty predictable, looking something like this...

1. Monday Morning
2. The Chain
3. Dreams
4. Say You Love Me
5. Rhiannon
6. Tusk
7. Not That Funny
8. Think About Me
9. Sara
10. Big Love
11. You Make Loving Fun
12. Landslide
13. Never Going Back Again
14. I’m So Afraid
15. Gold Dust Woman
16. Eyes of the World
17. Little Lies
18. Stand Back
19. Go Your Own Way

Encore:
20. World Turning
21. Silver Springs

Encore 2:
22. Don’t Stop
23. Songbird

I just know they are gonna pull out "Think About Me" or "Hold Me" to please the avid McVie fans, and I think they might go with "Think About Me" to keep with the Tusk theme. I understand that for those who have seen them millions of times, this set list is pretty dull, but for a first-timer like me, this would be a dream! It covers all of the essentials -- and don't get me wrong, I do like the more obscure stuff, but these folks are old. Their music is part of the American Songbook -- they ain't gonna play "Honey Hi" or "Why" or anything from Behind the Mask, they're gonna play the crowd-pleasers. People might not like to admit it, but this is basically a greatest hits tour, especially since they have said they are not going to release any new music until after the tour is completed. Personally, I think "Stand Back" desperately needs to be thrown away -- Stevie Nicks' vocals do not do it justice as a live showstopper anymore, from what I've seen -- but, hey, I could be wrong. I do think "Little Lies," "Stand Back," (if done well) and "Go Your Own Way" will be a show-stopping way to end the main-set!

[Macfanforever]

I think we will hear what we've been hearing except they will sprinkle Chris's tunes into the setlist which most of us on here on this forum want to hear.

We never know with FM.They know how to surprise us.


I hope they keep SOTM in the setlist.

[FM77]

I think SOTM will get punted.

[TimeCastASpell]

So it will never happen but I would give anything and everything to hear "Storms".

"Brown Eyes" would absolutely be delicious and I think I would pay full price JUST to hear "Storms" and "Brown Eyes" honestly. ;)

I wonder too if "Seven Wonders" has a better chance given the whole American Horror Story thing. So many casual fans have been really into the song since then and I would love to hear it too.

On the other hand I would absolutely love it if they cut "Big Love". I'm just not a fan and never have been. And I'd be all for switching it out for Tango.

I might be alone in how much I love both "Bleed to Love Her" and "Sweet Girl" and for that matter "My Little Demon" but don't expect to hear any of them. I would love to hear anything (except Murrow or Red Rover) from Say You Will but between Christine being back and the fact that I seem to a weird one in my intense love of SYW... So....

Might pop back in with my full dream list but again I want so badly to hear Storms and Brown Eyes that they could stand around twiddling their thumbs for the rest of the show for all I care. :P

[SteveMacD]

However, I Have Been Talking To Dave Mason and We Are Discussing Him Playing "Blow By Blow" on his new tour
Yeah, like THAT was on "Alone Together".

[SteveMacD]

So it will never happen but I would give anything and everything to hear "Storms".
They already did it in 2009. Not like that was a big harmony piece for them. I'd much rather hear "Beautiful Child" with Christine.

I might be alone in how much I love both "Bleed to Love Her" and "Sweet Girl" and for that matter "My Little Demon" but don't expect to hear any of them. I would love to hear anything (except Murrow or Red Rover) from Say You Will but between Christine being back and the fact that I seem to a weird one in my intense love of SYW... So....
I want to hear "Steal Your Heart Away" which also featured Christine.

[Wdm6789]

Only Rumours era songs please 1975-1987

They played Storms during the Unleashed Tour in 2009. I'd like it to be done again with Christine so agree with you there. Not a fan of Brown Eyes, personally. Seven Wonders could be fantastic - Stevie's vocals are probably better now than they were in 1987-1994 (or at least on par with the era of her singing career during which Seven Wonders was recorded).

I would definitely like to see more songs from Tango in the Night, plus some of the B-sides. Possibly even Juliet instead of Stand Back - not at the end of the set though, obviously. (Isn't Book of Miracles an instrumental version of Juliet?) Some permutation of Everywhere, Isn't it Midnight, Juliet, Little Lies, Seven Wonders, Tango in the Night, You and I (parts 1 & 2 back to back?) would be cool.

SYW is one of my favourite Mac albums too, I don't see why they couldn't include say Steal Your Heart Away and Thrown Down, Christine could probably add a bit of extra intrigue to Everybody Finds Out. Of course the obvious choice if they're going to pick a song from SYW is Bleed to Love Her and that would be pretty good too.

My dream songs at the moment would be The Ledge (would make a great upbeat opener, would also sit comfortably towards the end of the main set), Hold Me, Isn't it Midnight, Little Lies, Seven Wonders, Tango in the Night, Save Me, Steal Your Heart Away, Thrown Down and Miss Fantasy. I'm also hoping that there really is a song called On With the Show given the name of the tour, and that it's not just registered on ASCAP as an alternative name for Miss Fantasy. If I'm going off way out into Alice in Wonderland dreamworld, minimum half a dozen new songs thanks, two from each songwriter.

Yeah, I'm not holding my breath.

P.S. Did anyone else who read the recent Mick Fleetwood Goes His Own Way article (about his love of being on the road/touring) notice that Mick signed off with the words 'on with the show'? This was prior to the tour annoucement.
P.P.S. Ah, here's the link to the article http://www.express.co.uk/comment/expresscomment/466400/Mick-Fleetwood-Goes-His-Own-Way-On-the-road

[bethelblues]

Here's a setlist I came up with that has a balance of what I'd like to hear and what we are likely to hear. I'm not factoring in any new songs this time, and bold signifies the songs that aren't going anywhere:

1. Second Hand News -- This one worked really well as an opener last year, bringing energy right at the beginning with an uptempo song. I say they'll do it again. Also, I highly doubt a Christine song will start the concert.

2. The Chain -- As much as it would be more interesting to see The Chain come late in the concert, or as an encore, I doubt they change its place in the set. Same for Dreams.

3. Dreams

4. Everywhere -- The arrangement back in 1997 was great!

5. Fireflies -- I doubt they do this, but it would make so much sense symbolically to include this song. It's one of those songs they should bring back and put on a new album in a new arrangement. Kind of hitting the old and new that would make a new album successful.

6. Bleed To Love Her/Tusk song -- I'd LOVE to hear What Makes You Think You're the One to represent Tusk (besides the title song).

7. You Make Loving Fun

8. Rhiannon


Acoustic
9. Big Love (acoustic) -- Sorry, but this isn't going anywhere.

10. Landslide -- I think this would be a very effective encore song, coming right after Don't Stop and before Songbird. But it would shock me if they moved this song from its place in the middle of the set.

11. Never Going Back Again

12. Crystal -- I was hoping Lindsey and Stevie would do this last year. Why they haven't played this song in a concert beats me? Maybe they are afraid of singing it?


13. Say You Love Me -- banjo intro this time?

14. Thrown Down -- I like this song, and would like to see Say You Will represented in the concert. I realized I probably need a Lindsey song here. Maybe Bleed to Love Her here, and a Tusk song in the earlier spot. I'd rather he picked different songs than Not That Funny and Eyes of the World, which aren't favorites of mine.

15. Oh Daddy -- Great song, would love to hear Christine perform it.

16. Gypsy/Sara -- Something has to appear from Mirage. I say Gypsy (or Sara from Tusk, not both, and more likely the former though the latter sounds better).

17. Isn't It Midnight/Hold Me/Think About Me -- I may be wrong, but I don't think Christine is going to be featured as much in the concert as Lindsey and Stevie. Kind of like The Dance if you look at the old set list. I would LOVE to hear these three songs (over Over My Head), but I definitely feel they aren't as likely as the songs Christine played for The Dance: Everywhere, Say You Love Me, You Make Loving Fun, Oh Daddy, Songbird.

18. Tusk

19. Gold Dust Woman -- Probably going to come toward the end of the concert. This was a huge success last year. Stevie was killing it!

20. Little Lies -- I'd be really excited to hear this song, as it's never been performed live with Lindsey. Probably the biggest hit from Tango in the Night. I hope they do it! And would be interested to see if they go for the opening synths or a new arrangement like Everywhere.

21. I'm So Afraid -- Set staple. Wonderfully staged last year with the red lights over Lindsey.

22. Stand Back -- This was in the set when Christine was in the lineup. Sorry folks...it's staying.

23. Go Your Own Way -- Has this ever not been the closer?


Encore
24. World Turning -- Mick's gotta have his moment.

25. Don't Stop -- This is the song Christine is most comfortable performing. Those excluding it....I'm ROFL

26. Silver Springs -- I'm guessing they will do four encores like last year. When Stevie's not feeling up to it, they'll drop this song.

27. Songbird -- How can they not do this? I'm betting it's last.


A few more comments:
- I can see 26-27 songs as realistic. They performed 26 for The Dance Tour. This makes sense when three people take their turns in the spotlight and get time to rest their vocals. Though Lindsey sure will be playing a lot of guitar.

- It would be something if they played through Rumours in order, taking the middle chunk of the setlist. But they have a concert formula (and a perception of what audiences want to hear) and I don't see them deviating from it.

- Sara will probably sit this tour out, as well as Sisters of the Moon. If Stevie does a song from Tusk, I'd love to hear Beautiful Child.

- Also, re: Stevie, I don't think she's up for singing Seven Wonders. She didn't perform that one on American Horror Story, unlike Rhiannon and Has Someone Ever Written.

- I don't think we will ever see Lindsey perform Tango in the Night live. Next time someone sees him in person (and if they really want to hear it), they should mention it to him as a suggestion. It really is too bad FM doesn't offer fan suggestions like the Rolling Stones do.

- I also think Lindsey will not perform Blue Letter because it's not a song he wrote. He probably doesn't even consider it.

- Again, Christine probably won't be singing everything we want to hear, but her presence, just being there, will be incredible!

- Lastly, I wish they would do 1-2 songs in honor of Peter Green or previous incarnations of the band. Just an instrumental, like Albatross, or Black Magic Woman? Maybe Albatross could be played before we here the crickets and the concert begins. That would make me really happy if the band acknowledges one of those fantastic songs in their catalogue, pre-Lindsey and Stevie. Maybe they're saving it for a special 50th anniversary concert??

[bethelblues]

Also, here's a very different structured setlist if they performed the entire Rumours album in order. That will never happen, but it's interesting how some songs could work as the first song or the closer that have never been in those positions. Stand Back is used because it really gets people on their feet at the end:

Tusk -- this would be a great opener. They could sustain the instrumental longer to keep it dramatic (kind of like The Americans pilot episode).

*****new song************
Steal Your Heart Away
Don't Stop
Songbird


Sara can be switched out for Gold Dust Woman but Rhiannon can take a rest.

[mottabam]

Just a few random thoughts.

For now I think each of the 3 will perform 1 new song each.

The opener will either be Say you love me, Think about me, Don't Stop or The Chain. (although I do kinda like the chain as a first encore.)

The Closer..Songbird

I think Christine mentioned something about possibly doing an obscure deep track or two so who knows what we'll get.

Whether or not they put out a full LP or an EP PLEASE make it available on CD.

I believe the Mac will surprise us on this outing, and it will probably be one of their best tours.

[bethelblues]

Considering they toured a year ago, they should have more flexibility with their setlist and embrace cutting a few tired, overplayed songs. Will this happen? Probably not. Will they be afraid of being criticized for doing the same act the year before or will they rely on Christine's presence carrying the good reviews/press? Probably the latter. I wish, as I said before, they took requests online like the Rolling Stones and weren't playing the exact same show every night.

Definitely not, since Lindsey just repeated that hated notion that there are songs he and Stevie have to do and when you add Christine's to the mix, the setlist is pretty much already complete. He basically made us a promise (or threatened us) that they are doing about 21 very predictable songs and maybe 3 surprises, if we're well-behaved.

Yup. He'll be happy to know, other than once so I can see and hear Christine, he won't have to see me on this tour.... same ole setlist no new album and hugely inflated scalper prices.... byebye Linds, it's been nice knowing ya!

I understand why you love the small machine. Going to see this once as well. Then christine can pay me to watch her sing the same tunes, Over and Over. pun intended..

I read that article also. I have to say I am pleased to see this, I want them to stick to the songs they feel that way about. I don't want to hear their new stuff, I come for the classics.

I kind of have a feeling Christine's songs are going to be:

Over my head
Say you love me
You making loving fun
Songbird.

I still hope Hold Me and/or Little Lies are one of the surprises.

I kinda hope they don't do Over my head and Everywhere, they did both on The Dance. We haven't seen Hold Me since 82 and it was a big hit back then and they haven't done Little Lies since 87 and Lindsey wasn't there so it's like we really didn't even get a proper live version.

I'm with you on this point. Hold Me and Little Lies would be much better choices IMO. and would make me very happy..

[MacShadowsBall]

I'm looking over the setlist from the 2013 tour. The only songs I can see them dropping are Sad Angel, Not That Funny, Sisters of the Moon, Without You, and Say Goodbye. That's five songs - 3 Lindsey, 2 Stevie. :cool:

I think your assumption is spot on, especially with the last two songs.

[mottabam]

I could also see them dropping Stand Back and Second Hand News or Eyes of the World.

The only thing with dropping all 3 of those songs is the fact that they are such uptempo energizing songs. Second Hand News can work well after a slower paced spot in the set list to get the crowd pumped up again. If I had to drop one of those it would be Stand Back. I love the song but with all 3 of the Mac singers in the mix, the wealth of FM material, solo stuff IMO is not needed for this tour.

I agree with everything you stated. Yes, EOTW and SHN are very uptempo but I'm thinking what songs realistically can be dropped to add Chris's songs. Stand Back needs to go, like you said no need for solo stuff.

[michelej1]

I'm sure Stand Back isn't going anywhere. It will be in a block of 3 really high energy songs leading to the first encore.

Stand Back needs to go. Doesn't belong on this tour. It gives space of a FM track.

[MikeInNV]

You know, if folks don't like Stand Back that's one thing. But I'm surprised how fussy people who otherwise like it can be about having it in the setlist. It's been a permanent fixture in their live shows for over a quarter century. It's a song written and sung by Stevie Nicks, just like GDW, Dreams, etc. The line between FM and solo is blurry to say the least. If you like the song, just enjoy it. Yes, she could make room for a deep cut like Angel by dropping it, but she could do the same thing by dropping Rhiannon.

It's not that I don't like SB and agree about the fine line between solo work and MAC. It's time to mix it up a bit and SB is the one to drop to make room for another MAC track. I would also be ok to say goodbye to Rhiannon. ( even though I know that will NEVER happen )

Unlike some of her solo songs Stand Back doesn't sound like it's a Fleetwood Mac song. I'm used to having it in the set list and I think it adds that boost of energy that the band appreciates. But the fact that Stevie wrote and performed it doesn't make it a Fleetwood Mac shoo-in for me. If it's incongruent for some people I can well understand that. To them it probably sounds more out of place then another Stevie song would. Michele

[jmn3]

I could probably come up with something different each time I do this...not really my "dream" setlist, but one that I'd say is slightly realistic (and that I could live with):

MONDAY MORNING

I would rather them not use backup singers at all, but they most likely will. They just at least better not use backup singers on: The Chain, the chorus of Gold Dust Woman, the chorus of Say You Love Me, and the chorus of Dreams. Did I miss any?

(Hold Me, if on the small chance they do this song, I only want to hear Christine and Lindsey and maybe Stevie can join in for the chorus.)

You forgot Landslide! haha No way in hell they don't play that song. This was my "Rumours" album setlist from a few pages back. I just thought it would be fun to think about how they could restructure their normal setlist to great effect. That will probably not happen, but how cool would it be to get songs in different places during the concert?

I thought Tusk could be an amazing, adrenaline-rush of an opener. And I don't think they've ever begun a concert with that song. Gypsy is a rather uptempo Stevie song that could go well at the beginning of a concert. Also thought that would then give opportunity to play a few Tusk and Tango songs before getting to the Rumours straight-through portion. Only thing is that I didn't include any Say You Will Songs/room for a new song. What are the chances they do one from that album? And what would be most likely? Probably Bleed to Love Her. I'd love Thrown Down...don't know how people feel about Say You Will. Lastly, with Songbird then coming in the middle, along with Go Your Own Way, it also gives a different feel for the end of the concert. Always thought Landslide could make a great final song to wind things down at the end of a concert.


Tusk -- this would be a great opener. They could sustain the instrumental longer to keep it dramatic (kind of like The Americans pilot episode).

Exactly, especially in terms of hits. I'd rather hear "Everybody Finds Out" to serve that purpose but fat chance!

My dream is for them to do "Running Through the Garden" again, but we have a better chance at world peace...

As long as Christine doesn't do Over My Head or Oh Daddy again, I'll be happy.

I've always wanted to hear You Make Loving Fun and Everywhere live again!

What's wrong with Oh Daddy? I think that is one of the most sonically interesting Fleetwood Mac songs. Even the live version on YouTube from The Dance World Tour. I'm hoping for Little Lies from Christine, which has never been performed live with Lindsey. It'll be interesting to see if/how they play/update it---will love the three voices on that one. Isn't It Midnight too (though less likely) if they need a rocker. If Hold Me is played, it'll probably sound similar to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRiwAIFIpng

[BLY]

I do love Oh Daddy. It did take me a while back in the day to appreciate it. I wish the version that has Stevie's vocals upfront like on the Rumours outtake cd was on the original Rumours release. If they do it live I hope Stevie is present.

[SteveMacD]

As long as Christine doesn't do Over My Head or Oh Daddy again, I'll be happy.
I wouldn't mind hearing OMH if they played it like they did in the late 70s.

True...they'd never drop Landslide! They did in 1987-88, but that was probably the last time that would ever happen.

I like the idea of Tusk as an opener....the pounding beat extended could be a great way (and a COMPLETE 180) to get the crowd revved up. I like it!

I doubt we will see any Say You Will songs...Stevie seems to have abandoned her SYW contributions and the only ones I could see are Bleed to Love Her or Steal Your Heart Away (Chris' vocals are on both and BTLH is somewhat known by the common audience due to its inclusion on The Dance CD and tour). Stevie should have kicked Stand Back to the curb during the SYW tour and went with Everybody Finds Out. Retooled for the stage, I think that one could have caught on with the audience.

Doing Rumours as a mini-set would honestly alter the entire concert a great deal from anything they've done before. It would force them to break their "Chain/Dreams/blablabla/GYOW/DS routine totally. My fear would be that if they did entertain that thought, they'd resequence the way they played the album and go with a more traditional Chain/Dreams/SHN/GDW/NGBA/OD/IDWTK/YMLF/GYOW/DS/Songbird...and Stevie would probably drop IDWTK and replace it with Silver Springs. Basically, they'd find a way to muddle up the idea! ;)

[jmn3]

I agree to that!

I third this!

If Over My Head is played and it's that 1997 clunker arrangement, it can stay home. It doesn't even come close to comparing to the version from the Rumours tour.

[michelej1]

Exactly, especially in terms of hits. I'd rather hear "Everybody Finds Out" to serve that purpose but fat chance!

I'd rather hear EFO too, but since the crowd doesn't know it, it wouldn't cause the same response. I mean do you just react to an upbeat number, even if you don't know it? To me, the response to IKINW was always good even though the crowd wasn't familiar with the song, so maybe a casual crowd would respond to EFO.

But as you said "fat chance." Stand Back will be there and, at this point, I embrace it as belonging there and serving an important purpose.

Michele

[michelej1]

My dream is for them to do "Running Through the Garden" again, but we have a better chance at world peace...



I thought RTTG was awful. Michele

[sodascouts]

Tusk
Over My Head
You Make Loving Fun
Gold Dust Woman
Trouble
Honey Hi
The Chain
That's Alright
I'm So Afraid
Sisters of the Moon
Crystal
Angel
Why

[sanders8323]

You know ever since the Say You Will tour, the band has been pulling out one of Stevie's more obscure Tusk songs. It makes sense that for this tour they would play Angel again, being that it's the only song of hers from that album left to do. I think it would be great if they could do with that song what they did on the Tusk tour and segue straight away into You Make Loving Fun. Yeah, it's been done before, but it was always such a high energy moment in the show for me.

[streetangel27]

I really want to hear Sugar Daddy.
And ANY song pre-1975 would make me so happy. I would sell my soul to hear 'Why' live.

[bethelblues]

Predictions for Lindsey's songs? I know people always point to Stevie as the one more hesitant to resurrect deep cuts. But even Lindsey tends to stick with the same songs over several tours rather than choose new ones we haven't heard.


DEFINITE (4):
Tusk
I'm So Afraid
Big Love
Go Your Own Way

OPEN (3-5)

Very Likely:
Never Going Back Again (hasn't been dropped since The Dance Tour....maybe a possibility)

Likely:
Second Hand News

Maybe (if they don't go with The Chain, Second Hand News, or something different like Tusk or Don't Stop as the opener):
Monday Morning

Deep Cuts
- Is Lindsey really going to do Not That Funny + Eyes of the World Again? Blue Letter used to be used as an uptempo song, for encores too. Could it replace one of these songs, even though Lindsey didn't write this song?
- Will he want to reprise one of the EP songs, like Sad Angel, to show the band isn't giving up on recent music? or perhaps debut a new song here?
- Solo: Go Insane
- FM: Blue Letter, Crystal
- Tusk: what is more likely besides Tusk....a song Lindsey has done recently (Not That Funny, I Know I'm Not Wrong) or a song he hasn't performed since 1980 (The Ledge, What Makes You Think You're the One)?
- Tango in the Night: of course, Big Love will be included; has anyone ever asked him about hearing the title song? I know it gets mentioned all the time here as an alternative to the solo Big Love arrangement as a new guitar solo...was just wondering
- Say You Will: Bleed to Love Her is probably most likely; others Red Rover, Peacekeeper

[buckingyourhips]

Ugh I really hope they include World Turning, Over My Head, Go Insane,:p Bleed to Love Her, Say You Love Me, Think About Me, Say You Will, Seven Wonders, Oh Well, I Don't Want to Know, Angel, and Everywhere.
But like the hip Dance version of Say You Love Me where they're all singing at the front of the stage. :nod:

Then of course in no particular order:

The Chain
Go Your Own Way
Dreams
Little Lies
I'm So Afraid
Secondhand News
Sara
Tusk
You Make Loving Fun
Gypsy
Never Going Back Again
Don't Stop
Landslide
Rhiannon
Gold Dust Woman
Big Love
Silver Springs
Some new songs

Maybe encore could be Don't Stop, World Turning, Silver Springs, The Chain, etc?:blob2:

OPEN (3-5)

Very Likely:
Never Going Back Again (hasn't been dropped since The Dance Tour....maybe a possibility)

Likely:
Second Hand News

agree, i think all 6 of these are definitive for LB. so really, you have just 2 more choices left. if the new album comes out, both may be new songs. or one new song and one Tusk song.


Maybe (if they don't go with The Chain, Second Hand News, or something different like Tusk or Don't Stop as the opener):
Monday Morning

they'll do SHN. i don't see MM being in the set.


Deep Cuts

- Will he want to reprise one of the EP songs, like Sad Angel, to show the band isn't giving up on recent music? or perhaps debut a new song here?

although i wouldn't put it past him, i hope that NTF and Eyes will not be reprised however much i love both songs and Live 2013 versions. time for a change.
i would absolutely hate having Blue Letter taking the place of one of so many interested deep cuts he could do. would absolutely. hate. it.
if there is no new album, he might reprise Sad Angel, otherwise he'll do at least one new song.


- Solo: Go Insane
- FM: Blue Letter, Crystal
- Tusk: what is more likely besides Tusk....a song Lindsey has done recently (Not That Funny, I Know I'm Not Wrong) or a song he hasn't performed since 1980 (The Ledge, What Makes You Think You're the One)?

he will not do a solo song, he hasn't done one in 2013 when he had more songs in the setlist than he will this year. so no, he will not do Go Insane, he already dropped it in 2013. he doesn't need a solo song when playing with FM.
again - i would absolute hate it if he puts Blue Letter, or Crystal, in the setlist as one of his deeper cuts / non-hits, when he has so many other stellar deep cuts, many of which he's never ever performed live.
What Makes You Think You're the One, Walk A Thin Line (!!!!!!!!!! yeah right, i can dream on :distress: ) would be my top choices from Tusk, followed by The Ledge.


- Say You Will: Bleed to Love Her is probably most likely; others Red Rover, Peacekeeper
BTLM is gorgeous, and was gorgeous whenever he did it, solo or with FM. it would be a good choice.
Red Rover would also be spectacular.
he had several audience requests for Peacekeeper last year, and it was their most recent minor hit. but personally i'd much rather hear Red Rover or BTLH.

[michelej1]

The last time we heard Monday Morning it just did not provide as exciting of an opening as I expected. It's lost something and they were right to drop it this time around.

- Tusk: what is more likely besides Tusk....a song Lindsey has done recently (Not That Funny, I Know I'm Not Wrong) or a song he hasn't performed since 1980 (The Ledge, What Makes You Think You're the One)?
above i wrote what i would love to hear and what he should do (a song he hasn't performed live recently, or ever as is the case with WATL).

but you know what he will do, i can almost bet? instead of using the opportunity to perform something different, he'll do I Know I'm Not Wrong, again. :(

[michelej1]

he'll do I Know I'm Not Wrong, again. :(

HOT!

That's what I asked you about Big Love acoustic. Haven't you heard it enough? Michele

[elle]

That's what I asked you about Big Love acoustic. Haven't you heard it enough? Michele

i did. but he won't drop it. so no reason to discuss that one.

IKINW is not a must. so if you have a choice why hear the one you heard already. although i guess you can ask me the same about BTLH. i can give you my reasons for that one.

but if i could chose between either one of these and WATL... well you know what my choice would be. imagine if somehow out of the blue he actually does WATL this tour? and so far i'm not going to any shows. :p :angel:

[bethelblues]

See, I was totally right! Stevie has resurrected more songs than Lindsey has, even though she is always painted as the more difficult one that restricts set lists.

I think Lindsey is stubborn and afraid to take risks. Ideally I'd like to see him substitute out one of his typical big solo moments for Tango in the Night debut. I totally agree that Bleed to Love Her is gorgeous, and sounded gorgeous especially with Christine. My initial thought was Second Hand News would open the concert because I think it was incredibly successful last year.

I'd love to hear a Tusk song that hasn't been played recently. So NTF and IKINW would disappoint me. WMYTYTO is uptempo and passionate, and would be great to hear. I'm surprised he doesn't even take the time to play these Tusk songs in his solo concerts...even there we still get the same Fleetwood Mac songs. I wish he was more for developing new arrangements---maybe this is the year we'll get that, with so much time before the concerts start and the Mac all based in LA.

Question: Elle, you mentioned people were calling for Peacekeeper. Did that happen at the concerts? People would shout it out? What was his reaction/what did he say in M&Gs if you asked him about his song choices?

:laugh: i think they are both stuck in their ways and that set-in-the-stone FM setlist comes from both of them, tbh. it does not come from Mick, i don't think, because i grilled him about that (and no setlist changes from date to date during the same tour) at one of the m&gs last year.

however the fact is that SN changed 1 song between Unleashed and Live 2013 (replaced Storms with SOTM), while Lindsey changed 3 (Go Insane, Oh Well, and IKINW, with NTF, Say Goodbye and Eyes). and they both added 1 new song. i think both changes between the tours are so highly minimal that it's ridiculous, really.

i have no idea about SN's solo setlists; LB usually added 6 new songs from whatever new album he's promoting, and then switches some of the other ones. he's not nearly enough adventurous, but his solo setlist does change much more than FM does. and then he usually thrown in some songs by audience requests from time to time, although not nearly enough.

Question: Elle, you mentioned people were calling for Peacekeeper. Did that happen at the concerts? People would shout it out? What was his reaction/what did he say in M&Gs if you asked him about his song choices?

yes, at one of the shows in Europe people had this huge banner that they kept holding up with Peacekeeper written on it. LB told them something like he'd love to do it but sorry he can't; then he signed the banner for them.

LB doesn't do m&gs at FM tours, so i'm not sure what you are talking about asking him something at the m&g? if he did i would probably not think twice about paying $750 for a great ticket and a m&g with him - then at the m&g i'd probably berate him for shamelessly scalping fans like that. :p:laugh:

[WayOfTheDragon]

I'd vote for That's Enough For Me as a Lindsey "deep cut" for this tour. I recently heard the Rotterdam 1980 performance, and I liked the way it sounded live. Plus, the lyrics are somewhat appropriate for a reunion. They could do an arrangement similar to the 2013 version of Not That Funny. The song is short enough to be used as a quick, high-energy "filler" moment between two of their more frequently-played songs.

yeah, it would be better than hearing again some of his Tusk songs they already did in the last 20 years, although it would be relatively low on my list. (SMAP and TAFE being at the very bottom of that list, as my least favorite Tusk LB songs.)

[WayOfTheDragon]

You know ever since the Say You Will tour, the band has been pulling out one of Stevie's more obscure Tusk songs. It makes sense that for this tour they would play Angel again, being that it's the only song of hers from that album left to do.

Angel is my first choice for Stevie on this tour (and it actually has a chance of getting into the set list, for the reason you mentioned above).

Would also like to hear Paper Doll, Races Are Run, Affairs of the Heart, Everybody Finds Out, but now I'm getting into "alternate universe" territory...

In my dream set list, they'd do the whole "Side 3" of the Tusk album (Angel, TEFM, Brown Eyes, Never Make Me Cry, IKINW). Since this year is the 35th anniversary of Tusk, hopefully that will get some kind of acknowledgement (last year, they celebrated the 35th anniv. of Rumours even though it was a year too late-- any excuse to keep pushing Rumours, I guess).

YES!!! Side three is my favorite. There's two of my three favorite Tusk Lindsey songs (add in The Ledge), two of my favorite Christine songs of all time, and one of my favorite of Stevie's.

I was just saying that Stevie has resurrected songs she has never done live before and listened to fans regarding Sisters of the Moon, unlike Lindsey. I meant M&Gs for his solo shows. It's really ridiculous how little they change. I'm hoping Christine picks a good bunch that gets me excited, and Lindsey and Stevie each come through with at least one song I want to hear.

[vivfox]

I'm sure Stand Back isn't going anywhere. It will be in a block of 3 really high energy songs leading to the first encore.

This will also be the first time it will be performed by all 3.

[loverly13]

I would LOVE if they did Empire State for the NYC show, but I doubt that'd happen. When I'm feeling pessimistic and annoyed at the city, it just magically comes on shuffle and has this way of making me love New York again, even if for just a few minutes.

[Ali]

This will also be the first time it will be performed by all 3.

No it won't. It was played on The Dance tour.

[michelej1]

This will also be the first time it will be performed by all 3.

1997 Lindsey stood by Christine's shoulder during the entire song.

I should stop commenting altogether. My memory is shot. This is the 3rd time in the last month I've made an obvious screw up.

[bethelblues]

I just read that Lindsey considers "What Makes You Think You're the One" to be one of his top five moments in Fleetwood Mac. He has also said it is one of his favorite songs, and a great drum track. So why the hell hasn't he performed it in like 30 years?

can you share that article?

Sure, it was quoted here, in the lyric interpretation: http://www.fleetwoodmac.net/penguin/interpretations/w/whatmakesyouthinkyouretheone.htm

[Kubrick2788]

What Makes You Think... is one of my favorite songs on Tusk and from FM (or solo LB) period. It's one of the few from Tusk that I think would be great to throw into the set. At least it wouldn't be NTF...

[bethelblues]

At least it wouldn't be NTF...

YES!! No one's clamoring to hear Not That Funny either. And that one, I Know I'm Not Wrong, and Save Me a Place have all been performed pretty regularly from Tusk. Besides the title song, which isn't going anywhere, why not a song he's more passionate about that's also uptempo and driving? Maybe Stevie doesn't like that song lol, or the parts are sparse besides Mick's and Lindsey's, but it has been played live before so idk

[elle]

i loved last year's punky version of NTF, it was one of my favorites in the set, but it's time for a change.

i agree with you re LB's FM songs, WMYTYTO is in my top 5 or 10 of his FM songs, and definitely in my top 5 for what i would like him to add in that one revolving song slot he's willing to give us. from Tusk, it's my 2nd choice, right after Walk A Thin Line.

LB solo songs however are a completely different thing. he has many many more solo than FM songs, and a number of amazing ones that i want to hear from him when he tours solo.

Does he take requests when he tours solo? I saw him in NY and got to stand next to him when he left, but he seemed to not really want anything to do with fans.

[elle]

Does he take requests when he tours solo? I saw him in NY and got to stand next to him when he left, but he seemed to not really want anything to do with fans.

it's a hit or miss, i'd say depending on whether audience is insistent, creative, or loud about their requests, and what mood he's in.

on his 2012 tour it was more likely he'd take a request as the tour progressed. i can look the exact stats later... most of the time it was Rock Away Blind, he did that one verse of Walk A Thin Line (on top of the whole RAB at that show, so 2 requests that night), and he did the whole Rodeo once, and a line out of it another time.

from 13 shows i've seen i got Rock Away Blind 3 times, WATL verse, and Rodeo line. so i guess if you want to be generous and count snippets as whole songs, that would be 5 times out of 13 shows i attended he did something by request.

he also promised that his next solo tour will have a request portion, with maybe 1/3 of the show being by request.

[bethelblues]

This is interesting. Do you think he's someone who has to prepare extensively before touring? I know he can't read music, or that was said a while back. Obviously he's the person in Fleetwood Mac who has to work the hardest. I wonder if he'd be able to play any song at will without reacquainting himself with the parts; he may have to work really hard to make some songs performance ready and respectable. Maybe that's why he doesn't always honor the requests.

Maybe that's why he doesn't always honor the requests.

i'm not really sure what you mean by "he has to" work the hardest. he does work the hardest, seemingly because he knows and cares the most about all the different moving parts - the sound, the arrangement, the mix, the lighting, etc etc. he pulls it all together, and all band members look at him what to do next if something is off or different, like Mick says he's their maestro, like a conductor. but he doesn't have to do it. he can just show up, play his guitar, sing, and look pretty. :shrug:

if judging by requests he did at OMS tour and videos i've seen of Bwana and other ad-hoc performances, i think he more/less remembers these older songs, but being a perfectionist he doesn't want to do them. he thought Rock Away Blind he was doing as a request in 2012 was nowhere near ready for the stage, while everybody loved that it was little rougher, a bit different every time, without backing track or extra frills.

Walk A Thin Line we sprung on him at the m&g the night before. he said he can't do it because a) he already promised Erin he'd do RAB, and b) he doesn't remember the whole song.

when he did that one verse of WATL the next day, he messed up the lyrics, because he was looking at what the audience was singing and we combined the lyrics from 2 separate verses into 1. he was complaining later how awful it was and that he sang wrong lyrics. but it was gorgeous and spontaneous and a big party, just look at the videos from that night! :]

[bethelblues]

Thanks for the account. I watched the WATL video. It was funny, it was spontaneous as you said, and it felt really genuine. That's fantastic you were able to get him to do it. It probably helped that he recognized your face over just some random person he can't see shouting out song titles in the audience.

Of course, he doesn't have to work the hardest...I was getting at what you picked on, simply that he does work the hardest. He's always on stage, he's most responsible for arrangements, he's the most involved.

I wish Fleetwood Mac did requests. I think they have been really shaken up in the past when they've "lost" audiences. They worry about playing a few too many obscure/deep track songs because then, from the perspective of the band, it's like you are playing to dead silence. Very awkward, very off-putting for a performer to not get a positive response, and to see people moving away, leaving. Maybe the best thing to do is to do a few one-off special performances like the Rolling Stones have done (filmed by Martin Scorsese), held in smaller concert halls like Lindsey's tours that give the band more opportunities to be flexible.

[AliceLover]

I know its not a rarity or anything, but I'm really excited to hear You Make Loving Fun! I was only 8 years old when I saw it on the Dance tour, so this will be a refresher. However on all the Dance bootlegs, YMLF was the song that got Chris the most applause. Very excited for it this time!

[bethelblues]

Another setlist idea. This is too much fun, trying to come up with an order and balancing what we expect with some surprises. I think I have 14 different songs from the tour last year.

Albatross
Crickets

1. Tusk (Opener)
2. The Chain -----------------------------------------------------> is there any chance in hell The Chain/Dreams block is broken up? The Chain as an encore?
3. Dreams
4. Say You Love Me (Christine Introduction) ----------------> in all likelihood a Christine song doesn't start the show; but her first song must be a big hit (She's back!)
5. Fireflies --------------------------------------------------------> unlikely, but appropriate
6. Tango In the Night (Guitar Solo) ---------------------------> we'll likely hear I'm So Afraid (does L have any other solos up his sleeve?)
7. Seven Wonders ------------------------------------------------> if Stevie makes a nod to American Horror Story
8. Little Lies
9. What Makes You Think You're the One
10. Angel ----------------------------------------------------------> Tusk block, WMYTYTO is one of Lindsey's favorites, Angel is revived (or possibly Beautiful Child)
11. Think About Me

Acoustic Set
12. Big Love (Guitar Solo)
13. Gypsy (Acoustic, Arizona Heart Institute Benefit) --------> this would be an inspired arrangement, and draw less attention to S lowering verses
14. Never Going Back Again
15. Landslide ------------------------------------------------------> why hasn't this ever been considered for an encore? it would be perfect as one of the ending songs (sigh)

16. Love In Store --------------------------------------------------> or Everywhere; Hold Me is less likely
17. Gold Dust Woman
18. Bleed to Love Her ---------------------------------------------> the sole representative from Say You Will; maybe L does Sad Angel too
19. Isn't It Midnight -----------------------------------------------> this would be a great surprise, uptempo toward end of concert; or Oh Daddy here
20. Second Hand News -------------------------------------------> Tusk could easily go here if they begin again with SHN
21. You Make Loving Fun
22. Rhiannon -------------------------------------------------------> if Stand Back is out, what Stevie song could go toward end of main set?
23. Go Your Own Way

Encore 1
24. World Turning -------------------------------------------------> World Turning could be dropped for 26 songs
25. Don't Stop ------------------------------------------------------> any chance this gets moved into main set? probably not

Encore 2
26. Crystal (Stevie and Lindsey Duet) ---------------------------> Stevie's and Lindsey's final bows (or put this in place of Landslide earlier, and put Landslide here)
27. Songbird

[McLamb]

If I was in charge of putting together the setlist for this tour, this is what we'd get:

• MONDAY MORNING (from Fleetwood Mac)
• SEVEN WONDERS (from Tango In The Night)
• SPARE ME A LITTLE OF YOUR LOVE (from Bare Trees)
• BLUE LETTER (from Fleetwood Mac)
• ANGEL (from Tusk)
• I DO (from Time)
• FROZEN LOVE (from Buckingham Nicks)
• BEHIND THE MASK (from Behind The Mask)
• I DON’T WANT TO KNOW (from Rumours)
• HOLD ME (from Mirage)
• SAY YOU WILL (from Say You Will)
• BOOK OF LOVE (from Mirage)
• HONEY HI (from Tusk)
• THAT’S ALRIGHT (from Mirage)
• WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU’RE THE ONE (from Tusk)
• LOVE IN STORE (from Mirage)
• FIREFLIES (from Live)
• HEROES ARE HARD TO FIND (from Heroes Are Hard To Find)
• CRYSTAL (from Fleetwood Mac)
• OVER & OVER (from Tusk)
• CAN’T GO BACK (from Mirage)
• AFFAIRS OF THE HEART (from Behind The Mask)
• ISN’T IT MIDNIGHT (from Tango In The Night)
• SECOND HAND NEWS (from Rumours)

ENCORE
• THE SECOND TIME (from Behind The Mask)
• WHY (from Mystery To Me)

Very wishful thinking! I'll be happy with whatever they come up with!

[bethelblues]

^^^ I love some of your choices. I wish Fleetwood Mac had just an ounce of your taste. Besides Oh Well, they haven't looked back on the pre-1975 catalogue; understandably, they did this more often in the 70s for the long-time FM fans as the Rumours-era music was just becoming popular and resonating with audiences. It'll be interesting to see what Christine feels like playing.

Exactly! Who would be the one to tell her that and make it so limiting? Is that the tour manager--Mick, Stevie, and Lindsey--or just ingrained pressure she would feel herself?

The majority of the audience is made up of casual fans that only know the hits and the popular album cuts. With the tickets prices being as astronomical as they currently are for the new tour, this setlist, for the casual fan, does not justify that. They'd leave the show feeling that they didn't get what they paid for. The critics would probably pan the show as well without songs like "Rhiannon," "Landslide," "Dreams" and "Go Your Own Way," in the set. However, for a hardcore ledgie/Mac fan, this setlist would most likely more than justify the high prices. I think this is a wonderful setlist though.

^^ One thing I notice you're missing is some Tusk representation. I'd love to hear a Lindsey song from that album that's not Not That Funny or I Know I'm Not Wrong. (besides the eponymous title track). It'd be nice to get Think About Me and a Stevie song that Christine could contribute to, whether that be Beautiful Child, Sara, Angel, or giving a different feel to last year's Sisters of the Moon.

Also, I said this on the last page, but does anyone else think that Christine's first song will be a big hit/welcome back! moment?? I was thinking she'd do Say You Love Me first, but maybe Everywhere fits that bill too.

I think Love In Store is very doable. I have the Mirage live version in my files...if Christine's voice is a little lower, it'll still be fine for this song. It's a good faster song too to break up a set and start again after an acoustic set. Plus, they might recognize it sounds better live than Hold Me.

If Lindsey's doing Sad Angel, if Stevie resurrects a "new" song like she did last year (Without You), I hope it's Fireflies. I'm still confused why they never do Crystal.

I will not accept them leaving Sara out of the set list, that is the most beautiful song, and I would love to see them perform it live with Christine back on the keyboard/piano.

They definitely have to do Say you love me and You make loving fun, I could live without Everywhere because they did it on the dance, I would much rather them do Little Lies, since Lindsey bailed on the Tango tour, we never got a proper live version of that. Love in store would be cool too, but I really want to see Hold me, it's my favorite FM song.

I'm assuming they will close the show with Songbird, so there's that one. I would also rather hear something of Christine's from Tusk, think about me would only be good because it uses all three of them. Angel would be great to see. Crystal from the white album would be awesome too.

[bethelblues]

Yeah, I would be most disappointed if they have Christine back and she plays the same songs that were recorded live for The Dance. I don't need to hear Over My Head, for instance. If that's what she wants to do, fine. But she has plenty of hits; give us songs from Tusk (Think About Me, No. 20 hit), Mirage (Hold Me, No. 4; Love In Store No. 22), and Tango (Little Lies, No. 4) that haven't been performed live in ages or ever at all with this lineup (esp. Little Lies) or an awesome deep-cut (like Isn't It Midnight). Plus, I'd love to hear her voice on different Stevie and Lindsey songs, apart from the same-old standards. This all comes back to whether Christine would be forced/encouraged to play certain songs (be it by Mick or by the tour manager) or able to do what she feels like.

[chiliD]

I would much rather them do Little Lies, since Lindsey bailed on the Tango tour, we never got a proper live version of that.

That's bovine fertilizer. The version they played on the Shake The Cage tour was great. If you can't appreciate the live versions they played in 87-90, then I question your hearing. I'm so effing sick of everybody thinking that Fleetwood Mac's guitar playing ONLY revolves around Lindsey Buckingham. Technically speaking he's in the bottom 3 of all guitarists Fleetwood Mac has ever had.

[BlueDenimLamp]

I'm still confused why they never do Crystal.

They should do "Crystal" but Stevie's "Practical Magic" version with her singing and only her singing...CM should be able to play the keyboard parts well enough...

[goldustsongbird]

Followed by Stevie reading, "Thoughts on a Grey Day".

If I could upvote this, it would be at the top of the thread.

[Nicks Fan]

I think the setlist will be the same old same old. This is what it will likely be

The first 4 songs will likely be the following
1. Say You Love Me- They open with a CM number that everyone knows
2. The Chain- As over played as it is this song is not going anywhere.
3. Dreams- Also way overplayed but it is not going anywhere either
4. Everywhere- A hit that worked well live and will likely be back

After that in no certain order I predict

5. Rhiannon- Another staple that will not be going anywhere
6. Sara- Since it is has been in the set since 2004 I think it will back for 2014
7. Tusk- I hope they have Chris play the Accordian
8. Big Love- The novelty of the acoustic version has worn off but it will be trotted out yet again.
9. Landslide- Another one that wil never be dropped
10. World Turning- I wish they would do something else for an encore but I am sure this one is back again
11. Dont Stop - This is another setlist staple that will return this year.
12. Songbird- If this is not in the set I will be shocked
13. You Make Lovin Fun- With Chris back you can bet they will bring this back in the set.
14. Stand Back- This one should never have been in the setlist to begin with as they have numerous songs from the FM cataloge that they could have done instead but I suspect it will be back yet again
15. So Afraid- Another song that needs to go. How About TITN if he wants a song with a guitar solo.
16. Go Your Own Way- It will close the main set for sure.
17. Gold Dust Woman- As much as I like this song I wish they do something else to change it up again.
18. Gypsy- Likely will be back again


That leaves 6-8 songs where they can possibly surprise us. I predict

19. Seven Wonders- The American Horror Story performance likely generated some renewed interest in the song and I think it may be back in the setlist.
20. Angel- I think based on the recent tours with Stevie doing one of her Tusk songs that has either never been performed live or not done in a long time that this song will see a return to the setlist. If this does not make the cut then I suspect one of her other Tusk songs will.
21. Hold Me/Think About Me- I think one of these will be dusted off since they were both hits and may have been forgotten by the casual fans.
22. Little Lies- I think this has a chance given that it was a hit. I think it depends on how much TITN songs they want to dust off
23. Second Hand News- Every Tour that Lindsey has been a part off has had this song in the set so it should be back.
24. Never Going Back Again- This one should be back but I could do without hearing this one for a while in favour of something else. Perhaps Save Me A Place
25. Lindsey song from Tusk- I really do not care what it is as along as it is something they have not done in the past 15 years.
26. Bleed To Love Her- Sincde they did it on the Dance tour they could ressurect this one and it would be a way to play something off of SYW that Chris played on.

If I had to pick 5 dream songs to hear live I would go with

1. Wish You Were Here- This could be a good song to do at the end of the acoustic set.
2. Cant Go Back- This one could replace EOTW if they are thinking of doing that one again. It is a good uptempo song that could go over well.
3. Thats Allright- I think they need to do a different Stevie song from Mirage and this is my vote.
4. Brown Eyes- I think this song is one of her best.
5. I Dont Wanna Know- They have never played this live and it seems wrong that while Rumours is way overplayed they have never done this one.

[goldustsongbird]

Yeah, I would be most disappointed if they have Christine back and she plays the same songs that were recorded live for The Dance. I don't need to hear Over My Head, for instance. If that's what she wants to do, fine. But she has plenty of hits; give us songs from Tusk (Think About Me, No. 20 hit), Mirage (Hold Me, No. 4; Love In Store No. 22), and Tango (Little Lies, No. 4) that haven't been performed live in ages or ever at all with this lineup (esp. Little Lies) or an awesome deep-cut (like Isn't It Midnight). Plus, I'd love to hear her voice on different Stevie and Lindsey songs, apart from the same-old standards. This all comes back to whether Christine would be forced/encouraged to play certain songs (be it by Mick or by the tour manager) or able to do what she feels like.

I don't want a reiteration of The Dance. I've already got the DVD. They'll have to include the hits like OMH, but I would love to hear Isn't It Midnight. I hope they're a little more adventurous this time. If Christine can make her return singing Get Like You Used To Be, they can handle some of the lesser known songs with the rest of the band.

[AugustEva]

My heart would break if they didn't do Sara.

[tomv]

I would love to hear Heroes Are Hard To Find. Always liked that song. Classic Christine McVie. They could even dedicate it to Bob Welch.

[Japhry]

Stevie could sing "Black Magic Woman" on this tour. I'm serious!! Her voice is perfectly well suited for it these days...

[brickney723]

On What Makes You Think You're the One -
2012 Making of Tusk radio interview

Interviewer: One critic pointed out What Makes You Think You're The One" was the greatest break up **** you song ever written.
Lindsey: Really, I think I was still working through my last little bits of issues with Stevie not that many years ago. You know, I was the one who had been left."

Maybe this is the reason he hasn't played it.

[BlueLight]

OMG please do Hold Me!

Maybe they will actually do a couple more Christine songs than Stevie and Lindsey songs, in which case... Hold Me, Little Lies, Isn't it Midnight please!

Say you Love me and You make loving fun are the two musts, if both of those are not performed, I'll be very upset. And full Say you love me, not the dance version.

Does Christine McVie have a Facebook page?
That's a joke right?
An official page? Sorry...I'm terribly shocked by that. Don't know what to say.
Sounds like it's Facebook time at 2304 Australian EST. Thanks girl! :xoxo:

No joke, Christine has an official FB page now. It's run by Fleetwood Mac's management, obviously. No one in Fleetwood Mac actually uses social media (smart :laugh: )

[PenguinHead]

I'd love to hear songs that would have been performed with Lindsey had he not bailed on the Tango in the Night tour: Little Lies, Seven Wonders and Isn't It Midnight. Little Lies was such huge hit, I was surprised that it wasn't performed on The Dance.

It would be a refreshing surprise if they deviate a bit from all obvious choices. I don't understand the mindset of "fans" who demand that certain songs must be performed or they will be really mad, and feel slighted. They are part of the reason the set lists become so stagnant, and shows have become so corporate.

Songs like Say You Love will likely make the set list, but if didn't make the set, I wouldn't be peeved about it, because perhaps it would replaced with a song she's never or rarely performed, which would make the show all the more special. I want to be surprised.

How cool it would it be if Christine pulled out songs such as Why, or Spare Me A Little, or As Long As You Follow, or Hollywood, or Sugar Daddy, or Never Forget ... just something off the beaten path.

[WayOfTheDragon]

I think it's just as much the mindset of the band. It's a belief that the band seems to have about what they must do to please the audience. Either that, or the band are such perfectionists that the idea of playing more songs that haven't been road-tested repeatedly (or playing familiar songs in new, different arrangements) is too daunting to them. Many of their frequently-performed songs are not hits or even singles (I'm So Afraid, Gold Dust Woman, World Turning, Second Hand News, etc.) but these songs fulfill a certain role in the concert (ISA is the showcase for Lindsey's guitar soloing, World Turning is Mick's), and they just keep playing them, maybe out of comfort more than anything (they could make another song into the guitar showcase, and I don't think the audience would get upset and leave. Similarly, they could perform Big Love in its original hit arrangement -- which has never been performed live-- and use another song as Lindsey's acoustic piece-- and I don't see how this would cause them to lose their audience in any way).

Yes, there are certain songs that casual concertgoers will want to hear no matter what (Dreams, Go Your Own Way, Don't Stop, etc.) but I don't think anyone is going to desert them if they also play Seven Wonders, Little Lies, and Hold Me, which were all actual hit singles but which haven't been performed in decades.

At this point, they have more leeway than they realize-- even their lesser-known albums are generally regarded as minor classics. There is also a lot more nostalgia for 80s music now than there was in '97. The 80s seems to be worshipped by a lot of newer bands and pop stars, who to some degree or another are modeling their music and/or image after that time period. So a couple more songs from Mirage and Tango (even deep cuts) shouldn't be that alienating to the audience -- it's not like Fleetwood Mac would be playing 2 hours of free-form jazz or something. :shrug:

[WayOfTheDragon]

That's awesome you counted all that up. The unfortunate thing is it looks like the songs we ALWAYS here are the ones at the top of the list which is too bad.

I think it looks that way because we all have different deep cuts in mind, but pretty much everyone includes The Chain and Songbird, so when you add it all up, those songs come out highly, while the deep cuts only get a few votes each.

I thought it was significant that Little Lies was so high on the list (tied with Songbird as the highest-voted Christine song). Maybe they'll have to play it this time. :D

[James89]

I'm so excited for this tour but the one song I REALLY hope they do is Seven Wonders because I can listen to that song all day and it garnered more popularity recently with AHS coven and I think Stevie's voice would really suit it. I have a feeling they'll do it. I hope so!!!

This is a well-thought out set list,(however no consideration for a few new songs, Oh Well!) :xoxo:

How might you change what I came up with to adjust for possible new songs? I think when I posted this one in the other topic I switched Blue Letter (or Bleed to Love Her) with Second Hand News, so the latter could come toward the end. I do like the idea that The Chain is the final full-band song. Landslide needs to come at the very end of the concert. It should be one of the encores, if not the very last song if Songbird's location changes. People are looking for this song...in my experience going to rock concerts it's always good to keep them waiting. I'd have liked to put Thrown Down (for Say You Will) and Fireflies, but I just don't feel like they are very likely. Plus, would Stevie actually drop Gold Dust Woman or Rhiannon or Dreams? Bleed to Love Her is probably the most likely this time around. Really, they shouldn't be too restrictive with their set, as they did just tour a year ago and people (fans and casual concert goers alike) want a different show. (Good) music critics should want a different show too. I think this setlist has 18 different songs from last time (counting a different arrangement for Gypsy).

This is what I'd like to see/what we're most likely to see from Christine:

Not going anywhere:
You Make Loving Fun
Songbird
Say You Love Me

Very Likely
Oh Daddy - this seems to be a band sentimental favorite, all but confirmed
Brown Eyes - the only song we know for sure is in the set, confirmed by Christine; I think this will be her sole representation from Tusk (sorry Think About Me...if Stevie does Angel, Think About Me sounds very similar)

1-2 Tango Songs - I'd rank in this order of my preference:
Little Lies
Isn't It Midnight
(Everywhere)

1 Mirage Song -
Love In Store
(Hold Me)

Pre-1975 Song
Why

Possible Alternate for Any Above
Over My Head
1 New Song

20. Silver Springs
21. Gold Dust Woman (a little shorter)
22. Rhiannon

I wanted a couple of songs a little shorter to throw in an extra song.

They can do a Tango tribute of Big Love, Little Lies and Seven Wonders like they did for Tusk on last tour.
