This one should be in the Post Rumours forum because it has nothing to do LB's firing. Plus it makes me want to hurl.

[RockyRaccoon]

They really shouldn’t do Go Your Own Way. They left Christine’s songs alone for the most part when she was gone from the band, they should do the same for Lindsey. It would just add to the discomfort of his not being there.

[elle]

there is a thread on this already in post-rumours forum.

What? You don't want to hear Billy Burnett (uh, umm, I mean Neil Finn) sing "Go Your Own Way"? But, it worked so well in 1987! :]

Just. Stop.

We get you’re not happy. But don’t stomp on our buzz. Just don’t click on the damn thread if you have an issue with it.

WGAF? And who the f*ck are you to tell us where people can post?

[Dr.Brown]

This forum is about the Rumours Fleetwood Mac lineup - Neil Finn and Mike Campbell are not part of that lineup.

[SpyNote]

I found it. Feel free to delete this thread. Thanks.

[SteveMacD]

This forum is about the Rumours Fleetwood Mac lineup - Neil Finn and Mike Campbell are not part of that lineup.
Mick, John, Christine, and Stevie are still here, though. And, last I checked, it says this is a forum to talk about them.

[Dr.Brown]

Indeed, but Mick, John, Christine, and Stevie were also part of another non-Rumours lineup which included Billy Burnette and Rick Vito. If you want to talk about them or their concert setlists, I wouldn't expect a thread posted in the Rumours forum.

Stand Back (should never be on a Fleetwood Mac stage)

I would leave in Oh Well

Yeah, but nobody in the current lineup is mentioned on that forum’s heading, vs. 4 of 6 on this one. Life’s too f*cking short for this level of minutiae. Get a life.

:wavey:
They did “Don’t Stop” and “Say You Love Me.”

And World Turning.

[Wdm6789]

I was really hoping for Hold Me on this tour after Buckingham/McVie played it on their tour, but now without Lindsey, I hope they do not play Hold Me. Although, I might be okay with Christine singing it by herself, or maybe even with Stevie.

[RockyRaccoon]

And World Turning.

“World Turning” is a Lindsey co-write and he also sings lead on “Don’t Stop” except for the second verse. They did “Say You Love Me” on the 2009 tour but it was subsequently dropped. My issue with them doing “Go Your Own Way” is that it’s such a deeply personal song about Lindsey and Stevie’s relationship. It loses so much of its power and emotion if it’s sung by someone else.

Whatever. They’re going to play it. It’s one of, if not THE signature Fleetwood Mac songs.

Love that song! I do think with this latest incarnation of FM, they will return to more of a Danny Kirwan-esque sound. Not a bad thing at all. I just wish Lindsey wasn't a casualty of the change.

Same here. Actually, a LMJCN band would be my first choice NOW for a band. That would blow my mind. Not that they NEED Neil, but he would be a step up from the other third from the classic lineup.

Hey, at least he's willing to write new music, regardless of how well it sells. :thumbsup:

They should at least do one solo song. I suggest Wrong.

[jwd]

That's the ONE Lindsey should do on his solo tour! :]:]

[SteveMacD]

I'd take those out and put in Crystal…

:shocked:

Really? Crystal? That’s probably the last song in the world he’d play, especially now.

[FuzzyPlum]

I think he should make a point of playing On With The Show on his next tour. I think it would be poignant given its lack of play on either the last Fleetwood Mac tour nor the BuckVie tour;

Dead on the ground
I am making a sound
I am too proud to drown
Too proud to drown
As long as I stand
I will take your hand
I will stand with my band
Stand with my band

[McLamb]

It probably doesn't really matter where this gets posted, but I added it to "Post-Rumours" as well.

My favourite part of this site is the "wish setlists". If it was up to me, the list would look like this:

Albatross
Station Man
Straight Back
Spare Me A Little Of Your Love
Crystal
Remember Me
Angel (from Tusk)
Heroes Are Hard To Find
Emerald Eyes
Over & Over
Say You Will
Carnival Begin
Sunny Side Of Heaven
Sugar Daddy
Affairs Of The Heart
The Smile I Live For
Sable On Blond
Honey Hi
That's Alright
Behind The Mask
Seven Wonders
Hold Me

Encore:
I Don't Want To Know
Why

I'll be there, as close to the stage as I can get. I don't know if I can stand another 11-minute "Gold Dust Woman". If they hafta do it, I hope they'll shorten it to no more than 5 minutes, and leave room for other songs.

Why only works if you had the 3 voices of CM, SN, and LB. And honestly, even if you did (or they did it now with Neil) their voices are too far gone from what they were in 75

[lennonfan]

I can't stand Family Man either....which was a bit of my point...they can do all Lindsey songs, that would be funny.

[McLamb]

Well... I just got my tix. I'll be in the front row, hoping for the best (with a shortened GDW, and not a whole lot of story-telling).

Really??? It worked perfectly well on the MTM album a couple of years before BN arrived on the scene. I don't think CM, SN and LB was the definitive version of this song. I think they could give it a good go and it would also be very interesting to hear what Mike Campbell did with the guitar parts.
'Why' Take 3... could be interesting.

:nod::nod::nod::nod::nod::nod:

"Why" would be like finding my Holy Grail of live Mac performances if I saw it in person.

I will forgive this band of all the grudges and resentment I'm not actually holding against them if they do "Why" on this tour. I'll also accept As Long as You Follow. :D

You are obviously referencing the days of PRE-1997 TOURING. You are forgetting that the band now tours with an extra keyboard player, drummer, guitar players, AND VOCALISTS in tow--(even perhaps some Karaoke tracks thrown into the "mix"). Fleetwood Mac now has more musicians and voices than a Broadway show.

They will be able to perform "WHY" just fine--no doubt. The background vocalists (Sharon Celani and company) can handle the harmonies singlehandedly. If not, they'll just throw in pre-recorded tracks. (Reference "Hold Me" on the recent Buckingham McVie Tour).

The sad truth is that very few concerts are 100% live anymore. Everyone has a little "help".

You missed my point. I was talking about the quality of their voices now. Stevie wouldn't be able to do the high harmony she did in 75. And Christine's voice, if it's still in the shape it was on the BuckVie tour when I saw them, is pretty far off too.

But not to worry.Watch Chain provided the solution!

After all is said and done, it’s just a band, and one whose music it’s safe to assume you enjoy. If Lindsey not being there is reason enough to skip the show for you, don’t go. Lord knows I skipped the 2009 and 2013 tours because no Christine or enough new music to warrant going, and the SNLB drama bored me to tears.

Thank you Steve Mac. You're always the grounded voice of reason that I need during a moment of temptation. Without your words of wisdom, I may well have driven off the deep end. Since I've attended every single Fleetwood Mac and solo tour since 1977, it will be difficult-but you're right.

LOL I am definitely not trying to get you to change your mind, but here are a few more things to consider:

1- buying a ticket or two from a scalper at a reduced rate the day of the concert isn't going to make or break FM in terms of lining their pockets.

2- if you go, you'll either enjoy the concert or you'll see that you were right to feel the way you do in the first place about the new lineup without Lindsey. And even if FM give a horrible performance, well that could be entertaining to watch, too!

3- fortunately, there will likely be plenty of footage posted on the internet, so even if you don't go, you'll get a good idea of what their performance is like.

You definitely bring up some strong and valid points.

You know what, I actually don't think that FM's performance will be horrible at all. Mike Campbell is an amazing guitar player--both he and Finn are extremely talented. However, it's just not Fleetwood Mac. Trying to replace a lineup that creates magic with random different pieces of a puzzle just translates into bland and uninspired.

As a follower of this band for over 40 years, I've been there, done that. Billy Burnett and Rick Vito were great musicians. But, the 87-90 incarnation was lifeless. The magic was stolen.

I know what you mean, I'm totally on the fence about seeing FM, partially due to Lindsey's absence and partially due to not knowing a lot about the new guys, other than what I've read here. But what I've read here and seen in links provided by other folks, they look like they're great musicians. Plus I'm intrigued, I mean taking something out and putting another ingredient in, it's definitely going to be different- the question is, will I still like it? And unlike you, I loved Rick and Billy when they were in the band, even though I freely acknowledge it may not have been as dynamic as with Lindsey (sorry, I can't say they were lifeless).

I have a feeling the set list from opening night is going to undergo changes, too. They claim they're rehearsing over 60 songs to see what makes the cut, but I think they'll cut some pre-1975 tunes for more familiar ones throughout the tour, unless casual fans react that positively to old songs that are from practically a different genre. Rattlesnake Shake before or after Little Lies just seems impossible to imagine going over well, even though they did it in 1987-88. Just my opinion.

[secondhandchain]

Never Make Me NO

[bwboy]

Since Neil and Mike performed Man of the World in LA last week, it's pretty safe to say that song will definitely be on the set list. I never thought I'd get a chance to see FM perform Man of the World live, so this is incredible.

[Storms123]

I am curious as to how the arrangements of the songs will change? That was all Lindsey, I believe. If Mike or Neil take the helm on this--how far will they veer off the FM sound? For any of LB's songs they play.....that could be a disaster.

That is why it would be a HUGE mistake to play Lindsey's songs. Yes they should play Heartbreaker and Crowded House songs instead. Just dumb idea. Lindsey hated to do the old Mac tunes. He felt like a bar cover band in his opinion.
Lindsey is gone. Move on. Go your own way and do your own thing. Close the show with Running Down A Dream.
