Songs you must hear.

[Wdm6789]

We all pretty much know what the set list is going to consist of, and of those songs which ones do you have to see them play?

1. Gold Dust Woman.
Beautiful song, one of my favorites and with Christine back I can't wait to hear that chorus. I repeat, I hope they don't have the back up singers helping with the chorus of this song. I just want to hear the three voices.

2. Sara.
Another one of my favorites and again with Christine back, I can't wait to hear her on piano for this song.

3. The Chain.
I don't think this would ever be omitted from a set list and it's definitely worthy. Another I can't wait to hear all five back on this one.

4. Not That Funny or I'm so Afraid.
Two of my favorites from Lindsey. I can't wait to hear Christine back on these as well.

Is The Chain not one of your favorites? :laugh:

[Kubrick2788]

I'd love to hear Christine jam the piano part of Sara, but I'm afraid it's one that could be left out this time around. It's been in the setlist now since the second US leg of SYW. I will never get tired of hearing it, but I can see where it could be swapped out for something else if they're keeping GDW. I'm tired of that one and the 8min rendition from last year got to be a bit much.

I just want to hear Christine sing anything really. Songbird to close the show would be a dream come true having never seen the five of them together. I'll go regardless.

[louielouie2000]

The one song I'd really like to hear this tour would be Over & Over. I realize it's a longshot, but that's my wish. :)

[olive]

something from Christine that pre-dated the white album before the "original 5" from an album most fans have no idea existed and of course Rhianon for the 5 billionth time

[BlueDenimLamp]

"Crystal" Stevie's "Practical Magic" version with all those wonderful keyboard parts..I think this is the way FM should perform if and not the LB version...

[bethelblues]

4. Not That Funny or I'm so Afraid.
Two of my favorites from Lindsey. I can't wait to hear Christine back on these as well.

Even Lindsey fans don't want to hear Not That Funny for the nth time. I totally agree with them...and want something completely different off Tusk. He has even said What Makes You Think You're the One is among his favorite songs and he ranks it among his top five moments with the band....so why the hell hasn't he performed it in 30 years???

don't get me wrong, i'd love to hear another great version of NTF if it would replace some other set-in-stone song in the setlist. but since there's no chance of that, i don't want the ONE different / deep cut song we have a chance to hear to be NTF, again. i'm with you on WMYTYTO, as you know. of course, that would be my 2nd choice, right after WATL. and i would be willing to bet we'll get neither. it will be IKINW, again. :distress:

[bethelblues]

Walk a Thin Line would be great...I just worry that because it's a slow song it might not even be on his radar. Lindsey's often the one who has to resort to his uptempo songs to counterbalance Stevie's songs. That's why we might hear Sad Angel again.

Any reason he goes with IKINW or Not that Funny from Tusk? It's not like either of them were hits...maybe the others are harder to get where he wants them to be live? Tusk was his baby...we've now heard all of Stevie's songs from that album live, who'd have thunk it?

yeah i think that's why it didn't have any chance to be in the set last year. Christine however has a good mix of different tempo songs, so not every LB song has to be mid-uptempo. but i have no hope for WATL, i know better now. :distress:

i hope they bring back Angel on this tour, out of SN's Tusk songs. plus that one is more upbeat so that would be a plus, considering the above discussion.

[bethelblues]

Angel would be fun. She used to dance during that song. It's not one of my favorite Stevie songs--I'd like to hear Beautiful Child--but it could breathe life into a set.

When you got him to play a verse from WATL, you asked him the night before. He said "No" right? Then, did he just surprise you with it the next day? I know some people might wish FM were like Dave Matthews with their concerts...every night a new show.

no, he was probably hoping we'd give up. but we kept putting signs up the whole show with WATL as a request. you can see him in one of the videos from that night, when the encore time came and we yelled for WATL, a friend of mine said "do at least one line!", he points towards something on the stage in front of him (t-shirt with WATL verses) and asks "one line of... what?" and points towards the shirt. then he just starts singing it. so he did it because we wouldn't get of his case. when he was done, you can see him waving his head like "can't believe they just made me do this".

i've seen more than 10 different bands in concert last year. practically every one of them mixes their setlist a bit. it's not just Bruce. not just Dave Matthews. or Grateful Dead. some mix up their setlist more, some less. but they all change it somewhat from show to show, and they all gave a great fully polished show, it's not like their performances were crappy (like what i've heard of GD). some bands change between playing 2 different albums in full on consecutive nights.

[bethelblues]

Well said. I don't get why it's such a problem with this band. It would sure help the world remember FM for more than just Rumours all the time, the only album the media asks about. Featuring Tusk and Tango somewhere, as well as so many of the great songs in the songbook (pre-1975), would only help the band's exposure and legacy. Maybe the other acts you mentioned have larger audiences/higher turnout....or are just plain smart and want to keep things engaging without having to play same old same old same order for 50 gigs in a row.

^^^^ this ... to infinity and beyond :xoxo::xoxo::xoxo:

Seeing as from SYW on they've based a lot of the show around Lindsey and Stevie's chemistry/history, I'm surprised they never brought back Angel, seeing as it's the one song they actually used to sing together on the Tusk tour. Seems a natural to bring back.

The Fleetwood Mac machine does not want anything distracting or taking your attention away from the Rumours cash cow...

When did you do this and is it on youtube? What was the date and venue and year-I'd love to see it!:D

[MikeVielhaber]

I guess the songs I'd really like to hear are "Love in Store" and "Think About Me".

[Macfanforever]

What I want to hear on this tour .Spotlight on Chris and her music along with the Mac staple tunes .

[Musicman408]

Something different.....ANYTHING different!!

[Macfanforever]

Something different.....ANYTHING different!!

Yes you are right but the normal concert goer will say.

"Whats that song.I never heard it".

"Angel" gets my vote by a long way. Its one of my favourite songs, ever.
I'd love to here it live again.

[bethelblues]

Stevie looked like she had an absolute blast performing that song. So much so that she hasn't performed the song once in the past 30 years. She must not be able to remember the Tusk tour, like Mirage and Tango in the Night....lol

[Mmonta4]

I guess the songs I'd really like to hear are "Love in Store" and "Think About Me".

DITTO!!!!!!!!! Those are the Christine songs I'd like to hear.

From Lindsey- Eyes of the World & I Know I'm Not Wrong. Those two come and go but I never get tired of them.

Stevie- SOTM but with that 3rd verse added and with the fire she had back when she sang it in the Mirage days. I'd take Straight Back too. Something different.

I think Love In Store sounded great when they performed it live.

Yeah, SOTM...I wasn't a fan of the arrangement. Stevie's vocals are there, but the sound, Lindsey's guitar for the chorus, the unnecessarily added "Sisters" over the instrumental...it just didn't rock or have much life to it.

I don't know if there is something I must hear. I've seen Lindsey solo, Stevie solo, and the band, so I've heard the standards. I'd just like to hear something new, surprising even, that makes this as memorable as my past concerts--oh, besides the fact that Christine is back and I can't wait to hear her songs live for the first time. I guess I must hear Little Lies...I just love how that song features all three vocalists. In fact, I think I appreciated Stevie's voice there more than in her own songs; weirdly, that's how much it stayed with me, her echo of Christine's words.

[mottabam]

^Me too. Love both of those choices.

The Chain is a must for me.

Additionally I'd love to hear Seven Wonders, Hold Me, Angel, Monday Morning, & You Make Lovin Fun.

thanks elle,that was cool especially knowing the story behind it!:p

[Hawkeye]

They need to finally do crystal live. Especially with Chris back to play the whole keyboard solo at the end. Just for the simple fact it's johns damned favorite song! Why don't they acknowledge that and play it for him. Really they should've played in 2013 instead of say goodbye. Or even better instead of without you. And we still could've gotten the endless stories with crystal in that spot.

I agree 100%. I think a lot of people know this song too--FM pretends that the audience only knows the songs they play over and over again. Maybe they can't decide how to perform it...or Lindsey doesn't see it as one of his songs and neither does Stevie. So split the difference, do it as a duet for one of the encores, do it for John.

[michelej1]

Ha, if John still likes the song, he should be able to get anything he wants from the other four this year.

If I were him, I'd milk my opportunities. Make them submit, John.

[MacShadowsBall]

I definitely want to hear/see The Chain and Christine's hits, especially Over My Head. Not many request for it here but those Rumours/Tusk era versions have a nice funky vibe to them.

Also Silver Springs, World Turning, and Don't Stop. :cool:
