Okay, time to go to the end of the albums and choose fave closing song:

Got to Move
Trying So Hard to Forget
Stop Messin Around
Before the Beginning
Mission Bell
Show Me a Smile
Dust (I am NOT counting Mrs. Scarrot!! It's not a SONG!)
Caught in the Rain
Why
Safe Harbour
I'm So Afraid
Gold Dust Woman
Never Forget
Wish You Were Here
You and I, Part II
The Second Time
These Strange Times
Don't Stop

ISA wins because it's my fave song ever...then GDW and Why are 2nd and 3rd repectively. Rounding out 4th place is Dust, and 5th is You and I, Part II. Those are my ultimate fave closing songs.

Even though ISA is my 2nd fav. LB/FM song, and one of my favs of all time, Gold Dust Woman gets my vote for favourite closer....I'm not sure why!...I just think it's because I'm so used to hearing it as the last song on Rumours, the album that i've probably listened to more than on the other FM albums combined, that my "Rumours experience" would not be complete if I didn't hear GDW as the final track..!!! (And no, I don't like the DVD-A tracklist!)

I was just thinking of this yesterday!


I really like "Songbird" as a closer... with ISA or GDW second.

But I would also really like to hear "The Chain"... I think it would be very interesting to hear it close the show, intead of open it. Does anyone know if they've ever done this before?

Either ISA or Don't Stop.

ISA, GDW, & the Chain would be cool. I think they have closed with it before. Actually the Chain would be real cool. :nod: It would just leave me with a good feeling you know?

Definitely, Why is my favorite closing song. It's a perfect song and it's a perfect way to end a great album. My second choice would be Wish You Were Here. And, I think Songbird should have closed Rumours, instead of Gold Dust Woman.

"Why"... terrific song for an ending, and my favorite Fleetwood Mac song EVER. :)

Here here Cristian! Why gets my vote. But GDW comes up close second.

Has anyone else though how GDW ends like its descending into chaos, with Lindsey screaming... It's like Rumours is blending into Tusk! Just a thought

This one's easy! Gold Dust Woman for me. I don't what it is about that song, but it just really gets me...you know? And every live version I've heard of this song just blows me away.

Hands down: WHY with Before The Beginning a close second..and for a live album (which was omitted) Farmer's Daughter


Again, with my reprogramming of running order of a few albums, here are the ones that closed the albums:

Bare Trees: Sunny Side Of Heaven
Time: All Over Again
Tusk: Over & Over

Hi,

Well my favourite closer along with Never Forget from Tusk, remains The Farmer's Daughter from the 1980 Fleetwood Mac Live album. They are similar campfire songs with gorgeous harmonies!!

I hope they will be performed live again next year!;)

Greetings,

BuckMacNicks.

"Never Forget"

It's a positive song that is great for ending the very experimental album.

Without a doubt, Why. I have yet to hear another song that packs so much emotion (yes, more emotion than Songbird) into itself without being cheezy. It truly is a work of art.

Wondergirl9847, how can These strange times be classed as a song?
wondergirl9847

Well, maybe because I don't own the album, Time, I didn't know it was an instrumental, until I just now went to CDNow to listen to a clip...oops. Oh well...How about All Over Again in it's place?

Okay. I'm sorry.

"These Strange Times" is NOT an instrumental...Mick recites throughout, and one of his older daughters (can't remember if it's Lucy or Amy) has a singing part, as well.

However, I DO think they should've flip-flopped "TST" & "All Over Again" in the running order.

It's Lucy. Does Bekka sing in it?

Yes, Bekka sings, too...backgrounds, only, though.

My favorite closing song would have to be the traditional closer "Songbird." Perfect way to end, but without Christine in the band, I will have to get a new favorite.

I've got to say Songbird and Silver Springs are closer songs to my mind. Some others that would be cool to end a show with are Gypsy, Rhiannon, and You Make Loving Fun.

Here's an idea: Go Your Own Way, using the outro solo as a segue into ISA...

I think the gist of the thread is ALBUM closers, not CONCERT closers.

Well, I guess that I just didn't read my instructions correctly, huh? :laugh: I guess that puts a new spin on things. :eek:

I would have to say that my favorite album closers are: Wish You Were Here, I'm So Afraid, and Gold Dust Woman. Hopefully, that cleared things up.
