Stevie songs from Tusk on Tour

[ViscountViktor]

Stevie seems to pull a new song from Tusk for each of the most recent tours, ie Beautiful Child for Say You Will, Storms for Unleashed and SOTM for 2013.

One of my favourite FM songs is Angel - does anyone think this has a chance for this tour?

Anything is possible. Beautiful Child and Storms were a surprise, since they had never been performed before, not even on the Tusk tour. I'm glad she has been comfortable pulling out deep album tracks. Angel was performed on the Tusk tour, as well as on her Bella Donna tour, then disappeared like a ghost through the fog. It would be big surprise and a charmed hour if Angel makes a come back.

[TheWILDheart]

I believe the last time "Angel" was done live was US Festival 83. Prior to last year, SOTM was last done in 82.

I actually really love the Bella Donna tour version, it has such a fun rock and roll style too it and Roy Bittan's piano is amazing.

I think Angel has a very, very good chance of showing up on this tour. After all, in recent tours she has pulled out every other Tusk song of hers- Sara, Storms, Sisters Of The Moon, & Beautiful Child. There was a point in time where we thought we'd never hear Sara or Sisters live again; she surprised us on both counts. Or that we'd ever hear such obscure songs as Storms or Beautiful Child. They've been accounted for now, too.

As for me, I'm ready for Straight Back. :D

I would be over the moon to hear either one live as i love both songs, but since Straight Back has never been performed live as far as i know, it would be a GREAT choice:)

[jbrownsjr]

I say, yes! I think they will do Angel.

[BlueDenimLamp]

Though technically not a FM song I think "Let Me Down Again" would be a great song for them to play...

There is a live version floating around from the Mirage tour rehearsals, but it never made it onto the tour setlist.

[Johnny Stew]

It would certainly have a different energy than it did 30+ years ago, but I think Stevie's seasoned voice could really do justice to "Angel" these days.

I'd love for both it and "Seven Wonders" to find a home in the setlist.

[FuzzyPlum]

Would love for Angel to make its way into the set. Following her Tusk pattern it would seem it must have a very good chance. Never been a big fan of Straight Back back but would take it over the much maligned Stand Back.

[louielouie2000]

I'd love for both it and "Seven Wonders" to find a home in the setlist.

I've never been a fan of Angel, but I think Seven Wonders could be really fun. I do wonder how Stevie's modern voice could adapt to this song, but I'm sure they could rework the vocals & pull it off.

I'd rather have 7 Wonders. Great song for the three voices.

[chiliD]

Great song for the three voices.

Pssst! You mean 6, don't you? Don't forget Stevie's "girls" and maybe Brett &/or Neale, too! ;)

[jcalzaretta]

I cannot imagine Angel being played. With Chris back, less Stevie songs so deep cuts will be rare. I did think that the Tust 4 some could become a Tango 3 some for this tour. Then yes to Seven Wonders. Plus being on Coven makes it appropriate this tour.

[jbrownsjr]

Pssst! You mean 6, don't you? Don't forget Stevie's "girls" and maybe Brett &/or Neale, too! ;)

Don't remind me. I'd rather live in a world where we don't need extra voices that don't enhance the sound that much anyway.

For me it became an official Fleetwood Mac song when it first appeared on the LIVE album. They performed the song frequently in the early years.

It's Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks of Buckingham Nicks covering themselves as Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac.

If they can perform it with some of the punch of the LIVE version, it would be very welcomed in the set.

That's a very good summation of what will be.

[ViscountViktor]

Seeing that list reminds of how annoying it is to have Stand Back in an FM set list when they could be playing any other good Stevie song.

[Kubrick2788]

Can we give this one a rest? In the time it takes her to drag out the ending and do all her spoken bits they could fit in another Chris song or two Stevie songs in place of GDW. Yes, it's a signature song of hers, but sometimes they need to be put to bed for a while. We could have That's Alright and Angel in its place. Pipe dreams most likely, but I will hold out hope. And I would bump Silver Springs up to certainty. This is The Dance 2 tour...it will be an encore.

[FuzzyPlum]

This is The Dance 2 tour...it will be an encore.

...but this isn't The Dance 2 tour. I think they'll want this tour to be sufficiently different to The Dance. They may even try to flog another live album- they won't be able to do that if it has too similar a set list

This is a good point. I can imagine they will want a live dvd out of this. I don't have much hope that they will drastically change their setlist, but you give a good reason why we should get at least 5 or 6 different tunes. In this case, they will definitely include Sara again, I think, since it didn't make The Dance.

Hopefully, she'll toss on a red cape or something because the last two tour versions have been an absolute snooze!

This is very well categorized. I'd like to have more hope that Beautiful Child has a chance of being there, never having been played with Christine. That one has been criminally overlooked in Stevie's live performances and appraisals of her career.

Isn't it weird that Stevie has now performed as many songs live from Tusk as Lindsey? (not counting tour rehearsals) She's shown more variety than he has.

[bethelblues]

Hopefully Lindsey will play his guitar like this for Sara:

It adds so much more energy and forward movement to the song.

[PenguinHead]

It's a good chance they would do it. They have no shame about releasing the same songs over and over.

I often wonder if there is a financial incentive. Is it more prosperous to include the famous "money making" songs in a live album rather than deep album cuts?

[He's So Unusual]

I've never been a fan of Angel, but I think Seven Wonders could be really fun. I do wonder how Stevie's modern voice could adapt to this song, but I'm sure they could rework the vocals & pull it off.

It would be amazing to hear Seven Wonders live again, it's been given such a new lease of life in the wake of AHS that I think it's the perfect time to bring it back.

Angel on Tusk is ok. Angel live Tusk Tour is amazing.

It's always interesting to hear songs that were rehearsed, but never made the set list. The Ledge and Straight Back are good examples. It's also kind of frustrating!

[PenguinHead]

Though technically not a FM song I think "Let Me Down Again" would be a great song for them to play...

Let Me Down Again?

Don't Let Me Down Again!

Different song/meaning.
