I'd love it if they played this song AT ALL! I was hoping they might use it on the Dance, since Christine's voice was in fine form. It is in my top two or three all-time Mac songs from any incarnation of the band.

Question: I remember the Fleetwood Mac "One Night Stand" HBO special being advertised back in 1982. It was a concert where The Heroes lineup opened the show and the Rumors lineup followed. I remember snatches of it, but it's been 25 years. Didn''t "Love in Store" open that show?

At one point, HBO did show a truncated version of the Mirage concert video that had "Love In Store" as the first song...but it wasn't the opening song of the concert itself.

Thanks, ChiliD.

Could you post an Mp3 of this? I tend to avoid this era so have apparently missed out on this. :shrug:

That would be awesome! I can see it now...Mick and Lenny or whoever coming up with an interesting percussion intro, than the opening synths start blaring, probably five or six times before Stevie comes out. It would be awesome. I think Illume would also be an awesome opener.

that makes sense because i have the video where they open with GLIUTB then go into Station Man

The way it's worded, you make it sound like an actual concert event -- where the Heroes era band opened for a Mirage tour! It's my understanding that media companies often "package" shows -- assemble material from different concerts -- that have no bearing on an actual set list (that's why Love In Store opened the show you speak of). I have a radio show where the first half was from a Mirage show, the second half was from a Tango era show (with Billy and Rick).

I also thought, like some others posted-- that Tusk would make a great show opener. And Seven Wonders too! Great suggestions!

Actually, you read my wording right. It was called "Fleetwood Mac: One Night Stand." And in the commercial for it, the Rumors lineup were huddled together on a cpuc, Christine looked at the camera and said "It's one night stand you'll never forget."

It was 25 years ago, but I think I remember it being one date...wasn't it? Or am I losing my marbles?

It was an MTV contest. A couple from the Midwest or back East or something won it. He was a trucker or something. They were both limousine'd out to dinner with the band, & then afterward were "guests" of the band at its Detroit show at Joe Louis -- or maybe Minneapolis, I can't remember. I never saw anything on MTV after that with footage of the dinner or the winning pair, so I wonder how it all went.

AGREED! Bring back Oh Well for Godssake.

Thanks for clearing that up. I didn't know that!:thumbsup:

I'm still a little confused! It's quite believable that there was a broadcast that coupled footage from a Heroes show and a rumours-era show. It's quite unbelievable that there was an actual concert where the Heroes era band opened up for the Rumours band. It makes no sense in time/space. But even more perplexing....what is a cpuc? lol

cpuc! Egregious typo on my part. Couch. They were huddled together on a couch. L:lol:

I think they'd have to stick with The Chain because it's one that all audiences (both general/hardcore) know pretty well. Plus it's one that everyone sings, so everybody gets the stage time right off the bat. I don't see them ever changing it. BUT that's doesn't mean I can't throw out my own suggestions!

- "Eyes of the World" or "Second Hand News" or a ramped up "Blue Letter"
- I think "Don't Let Me Down Again" would work great, at least for the audience members that know the song.
- "World Turning" -- kinda the same build up to "Chain" with Mick on drums them guitar comes in, picks up. I think that'd get the crowd going quick. But minus the drum/Mick solo. Too much too soon. :lol: Throw that in later on to a different song if they want to include it.
