Your Ideal Mac Setlist

[bsavi4]

With all of the talk about changes made to the OWTS setlist and speculation on what might be included in the next tour, I'd like to see what everyone's ideal setlist would be. The only criteria I'll stick by in mine is reasonable length (20 tracks or fewer). Here it is (in no particular order):

- Spare Me A Little (I would pay double for a concert if this song were included)
- Go Your Own Way (A must include)
- Landslide ''
- Songbird ''
- Got A Hold On Me (Would like to see a whole group performance)
- Both Angel's (Would be cool to do this as a medley with Lindsey singing Bob Welch's)
- Tango In The Night (as a World Turning/I'm So Afraid type jam)
- Big Love
- Love In Store
- Why
- Gypsy
- Think About Me
- I Know I'm Not Wrong
- Honey Hi
- I Don't Want To Know
- You Make Loving Fun
- Crystal (Sung by Stevie)
- Jewel Eyed Judy (Sung by Lindsey)

I left off Rhiannon, Dreams, Gold Dust Woman and Silver Springs because Stevie's voice just isn't cut out for those songs anymore. I felt the need to include some pre-BN songs to get away from some of the more overplayed songs, but I couldn't cut GYOW Landslide or Somgbird because there won't ever be a show without those three. Let me know what you think.

[Macfan4life]

There are lots of threads with "dream set list." I suppose we can only dream because the Mac and Stevie are probably the most ritualistic live performers ever. I know this would only happen in a dream but here it goes.

Stevie opens for the Mac. She does many of her solo hits and we get Dreams, Gold Dust Woman, Landslide, and Rhiannon out of the way. Its great to see Stevie live and solo.
Then the Mac takes the stage and digs really deep playing many Christine songs pre-Buckingham Nicks. Lindsey digs deep into Tusk and many of his Mac songs that are sometimes glossed over.

Now THIS would be a concert :)

[FuzzyPlum]

They all come on stage and play 'Why'
Couldn't give a toss what they played after that- my dream setlist would be fullfilled.

[AncientQueen]

Mh, they don't play Dreams. Perfect set list.

tons of Tusk and SYW songs were also never or rarely played.

i like this! get Stevie out of the way and play mostly LB/CM songs as Mac? brilliant! i can skip the opener and just come in for the main act. :thumbsup::p:cool:

big yes to LB's Tusk and SYW songs that are never played.

[Wdm6789]

Yes! Then Hold Me and Sara.

[WayOfTheDragon]

My dream setlist would have to include Hold Me and Isn't It Midnight. They would do Isn't It Midnight just before Go Your Own Way at the end of the main set, and it would be a really high energy, rocking version. I'd add one of Christine's Tusk ballads, probably Never Make Me Cry, to the acoustic or "cocktail kit" part of the show. And I want a lot of new Christine/LB songs that they collaborated on and more of Christine's piano playing. Some bluesy/early 70s stuff that they could really jam out to. Maybe a Danny Kirwan song. I'd replace World Turning with something else.

Lindsey: Bring back Eyes of the World (Mirage-style), Not That Funny (with Christine on piano). Play Tango In The Night instead of I'm So Afraid. I'd add multiple songs from Out of The Cradle and Gift of Screws (2008), there are some very Mac-like songs on there that I would much rather hear than the standard Rumours fare. I liked the full-band Go Insane in 2009 and want more stuff like that.

Stevie: Angel, Crying in the night, Races are run, That's alright, Sorcerer? Something different, I don't know :shrug: If songs like Rhiannon and Gypsy were included, it would be in different versions/ arrangements. Would prefer completely new songs altogether, as long as they're good ones. :D

[KarmaContestant]

OK, I'll play.

[nicepace]

Three cheers for that! I presume this includes no backing vocalists.

[Macfanforever]

Mac Unplugged sounds good to me.They can keep all the instruments in the closet and go acapella.

[elle]

well, they just released that Tusk deluxe set.

Springsteen is currently touring his The River box set. he's doing all 4 sides of The River album, every song, in order as sequenced on the album, following by 12 more songs, of which about half are different from tour date to tour date.

so......... they can do Tusk in sequence, all songs like on the album, followed by 12 more songs, out of which half are different every date. :cool::p yeah, right. - no balls for something like that this is Mac we are talking about! :lol:

even if they'd do half of the above it would be great. :nod:

[shackin'up]

20 songs from Tusk.
So Afraid,Go your own way, Rhiannon and Why.

[elle]

20 songs from Tusk.
So Afraid,Go your own way, Rhiannon and Why.

there you go! :thumbsup:

that's only 24 and completely doable - that's about how many songs they've been doing anyway. (Springsteen's set is 33 songs, currently, including 20 from The River.)

[jbrownsjr]

Three cheers for that! I presume this includes no backing vocalists.

No!! For $400 a ticket they can sing their harmonies like they used to.

[jcalzaretta]

Be a little longer show. So this can have an intermission for a 15 minute break! But this is our ideal list, right. So here it goes. Trying to be realistic while adding some that would be rare. And in no order obviously

Well done. If we didn't have any new songs (which is what I'd want) then this set list would be quite brilliant. Very fresh but still retaining plenty of familiarity (For me you could throw out Dreams though).

[mitzo]

12 songs from a brand new album released in 2016.

:nod::xoxo:;):nod::nod::nod:

[Wdm6789]

Instead of my ideal set list for today

I would go back in time and see Why and Rhiannon in 1976

I would go back in time and see Gold Dust Woman in 1977 on the Rumours tour.

I would go see The Chain, You Make Loving Fun, Say You Love Me, Over & Over, Sara, Not That Funny, and Go Your Own Way in 1979 on the Tusk tour.

I would go see Hold Me, Sara, and Gypsy in 1982

And Everywhere, Stand Back, Gold Dust Woman, and Isn't It Midnight in 1987, but with Lindsey instead of Rick and Billy. In my time travel I would create some sort of butterfly effect to make sure Lindsey did the Tango tour.

[mitzo]

10 of which are Buckingham/McVie

Buckingham's songs on FM albums ruin the projects, he should only produce. A little Christine to sweeten things up is enough.

[aleuzzi]

Disagree, especially re: the latter. I want all of those tracks LB and CM worked on. I want them yesterday.

24. Show Me A Smile
25. Songbird

[SisterNightroad]

As I said in another thread, with their new voices and stage presences, the tracks that I'd like the most to hear live from them are the more blues, folk and coutry oriented. It would be an amazing occasion to finally perform the songs that are well known but somehow have never been executed live. These are the tunes I'd like to hear now, in no particular order, and if you throw in some Buckingham-Nicks as well I'd die happy:

Why
Spare me a little
Warm ways
Over my head
Crystal
I don't wanna know
The chain
Gold dust woman
Save me a place
Angel
Brown eyes
Never make me cry
Honey hi
Beautiful child
Love in store
That's alright
Hold me
Temporary one
Thrown down
Smile at you

[Macfanforever]

My ideal setlist is to change the freaking setlist into the shuffle mode for each show for us that see the show a dozen times in the same tour.This also includes the solo tours too.

[SteveMacD]

In my time travel I would create some sort of butterfly effect to make sure Lindsey did the Tango tour.
He did...27 years later.

Once again, out of boredom, I tallied the responses:

Go Your Own Way, Hold Me, and the Chain tied for first with 12 votes
Songbird and Why 11
Sara and Tusk 11
I Know I'm Not Wrong, Landslide, Gypsy, and Brown Eyes 9

There were also 9 votes for Big Love, but 7 of them came with the caveat that the whole band perform it like the studio version (which they don't do).
Same thing with Gold Dust Woman and Rhiannon (half requested either the short version or the long version).

Honey Hi, Tango in the Night, Isn't It Midnight, and Beautiful Child 8

Some surprises-

The high ranking of Hold Me and non-singles Why, Brown Eyes, I Know I'm Not Wrong, Tango in the Night, Isn't It Midnight, Honey Hi, and Beautiful Child.

Everywhere got only 1 vote.

Think About Me, Angel Not That Funny, and Dreams 7

Spare Me a Little, I Don't Want to Know, Crystal, Never Make Me Cry, Eyes of the World, Little Lies, As Long As You Follow, Say You Love Me, Don't Stop I'm So AFraid, Over and Over, and Storms 6

You Make Loving Fun, That's Alright, the Ledge, Save Me a Place, Sisters of the Moon, and World Turning 5

Love in Store, Second Hand News, Everybody Finds Out, Walk a Thin Line, Never Going Back Again, Thrown Down, and Bleed to Love Her 4

The rest of the songs got 3, 2, or only 1 votes.

[bwboy]

With those votes, here's what the set list would be:

Go Your Own Way
Hold Me
The Chain
Why
Songbird
Sara
Tusk
I Know I'm Not Wrong
Landslide
Gypsy
Brown Eyes
Honey Hi
Tango in the Night
Isn't It Midnight
Beautiful Child
Think About Me
Angel
Not That Funny
Dreams
Spare Me a Little
I Don't Want to Know
Crystal
Never Make Me Cry
Eyes of the World
Little Lies
As Long As You Follow
Say You Love Me
Don't Stop
I'm So AFraid

What do you think of this set list- after all, we voted for it! I say it's pretty decent.
