Count me in on that prayer!:nod:

"Storms" is one of Stevie's greatest songs, and I don't think anybody will argue with that! It's my personal favourite (and one of my favourite songs of all time!); it would be SO easy (from a production point of view) to perform it on stage...it could even be done with ONLY Stevie and LB on stage...I just can't see the logic behind it NOT being on every single Fleetwood Mac (and Stevie solo) setlist.:shrug:

I love I Don't Want to Know, I think it'd sound perfect done live. I love Crystal, but I prefer Lindsey's version. Straight Back is one of my favorite songs, but I don't think it'd be the same minus Christine's harmonies :distress:. I'd LOVE to hear Smile at You, Storms, and I'd kill to see them dig up SOTM to perform live again.

I completely disagree with that! If you applied that logic to the other older songs, Stevie would never again sing Rhiannon, Dreams etc... Yes, Stevie's voice has changed (as all singers' voices change as they age). She no longer sings many of her songs in their original key. Dreams is a perfect example of that.

It's unreasonable to expect her at age 54(?) to sound exactly how she did when she was 26. And it's unfair to hold their live performances up against the studio versions....Fleetwood Mac, even in their heyday of the 1970s, never ever replicated their studio sound in live performance. And now, like many older singers, they've had to adjust to compensate. Stevie can sing anything...including I Don't Want To Know!

If I'd hear "Frozen Love" and "Storms" in the same show, my heart would stop.

Not a bad way to go!

:angel:


(To hear Stevie and Lindsey do an acoustic, "Landslide"-like rendition of "That's Alright"....that would cause a lesser, but not fatal, cardiac moment!)

Actually Stevie does sing Dreams, Rhiannon and even Silver Springs in the original key... however, she does drop some of the higher notes. If anything, I think Stevie could probably pull this one off if she sang the Lindsey harmony part and gave the original Stevie part to Sharon. I truly doubt she could sing her original part.

As for older songs that should be brought back into the set... why isn't "Don't Let Me Down Again" being done? I can just picture hearing this one sandwiched between "Stand Back" and "Go Your Own Way." It's such a fun, high-energy song. I loved hearing this on the Tango tour.

Hey guys, just thought of something. I know I wanted Frozen Love but didn't FM perform Frozen Love years ago? Anyone know for sure?

PenguinHead 10-04-2003 08:15 PM

yes, they did perform Frozen Love early on in 1975. How many times? I don't know, but I think it was never a regular part of their set. I do have 2 different performances of it, though.

~nightbird~ 10-04-2003 08:22 PM

Thanks PenguinHead! Now I won't be up half the night wondering.

It would be easy to perform on stage. I still don't understand why they don't...well, maybe it is because of they're setlist already does include some slow songs. But in my opinion, adding "Storms" to any setlist could do nothing but improve it. It's like what they did with "Beautiful Child" on this tour...

I think Stevie could really bring down the house with a searing rendition of "Smile at You" or she and Lindsey with, "Everybody Finds Out." I also think it would be really cute if she and Lindsey did a bluegrassy version of "I Don't Wanna Know" to replace "Never Going Back Again." :nod:

Buckingham Nicks did "I Don't Want To Know" at the infamous "Final Show" in Birmingham, Alabama.

Read either Bob Aguirre's or Hoppy Hodge's Q&A (can't remember exactly which had it) for the set list...a few surprises!

Personally I'd LOVE to hear "Sara" but I know she won't sing it. I also agree "I Don't Wanna Know" would be incredible as would "Crystal" but I like the version with Lindsey on vocals - or they could do it together which is would be beautiful.

Has the setlist changed at all from first leg of tour? I am disappointed RTTG was taken out.

The set list, apparently, is set in stone. I agree -- dropping Running Through The Garden after the first show, and Destiny Rules after several more shows was a huge disappointment. Listening to that first Columbus show, RTTG sounded amazing, and the audience response sounded huge.

You think that they would have changed it somewhat, knowing that they were coming around to play for audiences who had already seen/heard that show/set already.

And when was the last time they actually played Sara? I think it was back in 1988 with the Billy Burnette/Rick Vito band...and even then, it was performed very rarely. Supposedly, out of the blue, they actually opened one show with it. Does anyone know about that? I wonder what circumstances precluded that wacky (but welcome) decision??
