as far as Lindsey's songs go, i can't believe your lists. they are missing so much amazing stuff which would be great to hear with Christine. i'll justify it by assuming you must not have listened to his solo stuff. or his Tusk stuff or his SYW stuff ;)

No, I'm just speculating what they would play... there are just so many options...

I threw that together in like 1 min..

even in 1 min...... but ok, i forgive you. ;) :p :xoxo:


glad that you at least put BTLH.

Its easy to criticize others without sharing your thoughts or creating your own list. ;) Like jbrownsjr, I wrote my list instantly off the cuff, my favorites and what would sound good live. Personally I would prefer only a Christine solo concert so I could hear classic Mac songs that are no longer performed. But since this thread threw Lindsey in the mix, I followed suit. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. You may not like my Lindsey songs but they are some of my favorite solo Lindsey songs. I just thought it would be a fun last encore to hear Holiday Road even though I don't care for the song. My list is for my ears but also for the masses to throw in the hits....being a bit realistic. But I still stand by my list as total perfection :)

i was gonna spare you all, since i wrote so many of the lists of songs i want to hear from LB in the Lindsey forum (and handed him few of those lists lol). but since you asked i'll throw off the cuff a list of 10 LB songs i would love love love to hear live, to add to your or Jbrownsr's list of Chris songs:

Down on Rodeo
Walk a thin line
Go insane
That's the way love goes
Gone too far / You do or you don't
Turn it on
Underground
Red Rover
Rock away blind
In our own time
Murrow

sorry, sorry, i'm already over 10.... :sorry:

Oh...I can never get enough lists. Its nice to dream ;)
I still dream of Christine McVie solo in concert (literally).

Remember the early 90's MTV show "The List"
I loved that show. I believe you can never, ever have enough lists :)

Both Buckingham McVie lists are really good lists and the sort of thing I'd want to see/hear...
...some solo songs, plenty of deep cut Fleetwood Mac songs and with just a smattering of FM hits to build a crescendo at the end and keep the casual fans happy.
Say You Will songs would be out of place on a Buckingham McVie setlist for obvious reasons (apart from BTLH and/or SYHA).

but then you can argue that Chris or Linds solo songs would be out for obvious reasons too.

as a Lindsey fan, there was almost nothing on those two lists that i would love to hear. same as there was almost no LB songs on the last FM tour that i really wanted to hear, other than BTLH and IKINW. but i loved hearing a number of Chris songs.

i can understand that because they were written by Chris fans, and that's fine. i'm just always shocked how un-interesting any Lindsey songs proposed are to me. people propose Trouble (which i can't stand) and Blue Letter a lot. i just don't get that and the only way i can justify it is that people are completely unfamiliar with LB solo output after his first 2 albums. and his solo output just got better, not worse.

now, my lists usually do not have hits, and if you wanna throw in dose of realism and dose of hits and dose of what LB and CM would actually select, my lists would look very different. but there's no reason for me to tell LB to do BL or ISA or GYOW. you know he'll do it every. single. time. so i don't like to waste space on those, but i agree that more realistic lists would need to have some hits.


hey, would Chris' fans be interested in doing something like this - http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showth...highlight=list ? top 10 LB songs if you are Christine fan? there were some interesting lists and selected songs by SN fans in that thread. i can start the thread in LB forum if you would be interested in playing?

also, here are some favorite LB song lists (http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showth...highlight=list) and wish setlists - http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showth...highlight=list - i know there were others but these were the ones i found by a quick search.

i was curious so i combined and did a little analysis of 2 BM lists proposed so far. I listed twice the songs that were on both lists. i bolded songs already recently or regularly performed, either solo or with FM.

LB songs (10 all together, only 6 that he doesn't normally perform - and you all really want to hear Wrong!! ;) ):

Trouble - Trouble
Go Insane - Go Insane
Bleed to Love Her
Go Your Own Way - Go your own way
Wrong - Wrong
Great Day
Loving Cup
Countdown
Tango in the Night
Holiday Road

CM songs (18 all together):

Got A Hold On Me - Got a hold on me
You Are - You Are
Isn't It Midnight - Isnt It Midnight
Hold Me - Hold Me
Mystified
Say You Love Me
I'd Rather Go Blind
Don't Stop - Don't Stop
Songbird
Ask Anybody
Friend
Over and Over
Why
Come a little bit closer
Just Crazy Love
Think About Me
The Smile I live for

World Turning - LB/CM song

Crystal
Blue Letter


btw here is my Christine wish list - with a disclaimer that i don't know her solo or pre-Rumours era songs:

Hold me
Think about me
Songbird
Say you love me
Little lies (sorry, but i loved it on this tour!)
Everywhere
Don't stop (again, my apologies!)

since jbrownsr only came up with 6 LB songs (Crystal or Blue Letter don't count in my book) :p, i'm gonna call it a day with 7 Chris songs here - since i will freely admit i'm not familiar enough with her output.

plus, people - what are we doing? they have like 6 or 8 co-written new songs already! we should hear most of those!

are you sorry yet you asked me to share some lists Macfan4life? :cool:

Remember that is your opinion. I love Out of the Cradle. It had the best reviews of any Lindsey album. I love it but Go Insane is equally as good. But that is my opinion to disagree with you that Lindsey's albums got better and better.
I picked songs that have Chris and Lindsey singing together and harmonizing. I also picked the songs that really would go over great live. Lindsey plays guitar on The Smile I live For so it would be amazing live.

I guess I'm not entirely basing it on what I would ultimately personally like but more considering a good all-round show. As two artists in their own right it would make sense to play a number of their own solo songs. As they'd need to be mindful of the non-CM fans and the non-LB fans they'd best stick to the higher profile numbers- hence Lindsey playing the likes of Countdown, Trouble, Go Insane, Holiday Road etc. It would then be a good opportunity to have some fun and play some of the more obscure Fleetwood Mac songs that don't tend to get played as part of the 'Big Machine'. The ones noted are largely those they've either written together or have prominent vocals together. The reason I say Say You Will songs would be out is because there's no connection between the two of them on those songs. When you have all that material they worked together on as part of the band it wouldn't really make much sense to play anything/much from albums they didn't both play on. Adding a couple of higher profile FM hits would finish the show off on a high.

By doing that you'd cater to a wide range; CM fans, LB fans, casual FM fans, hard-core FM fans.
And yes, of course they should also play a load of their new material in there somewhere as well :nod:

as if it would happen!

sure and unlike many others i'm way too careful to state that most of what i say is imo. LB solo being one of the rare artists whose output is getting better and better and whose creativity didn't stop after initial hits is a pretty well accepted opinion though.

i'm hoping it's the same with Christine, she certainly seems to be extremely enthusiastic about writing new songs.

i just want to make sure that when someone states something like his first albums are better than latter ones, that person is actually familiar with all his UTS, GOS and SWS songs. it's your prerogative of course to like better whatever albums you like better - tastes are different, and even if something is musically great that doesn't mean everyone has to like it. plenty of people don't like Bach. ;)

i know right? we can dream however!

and when did they end the show on a high? i wish they would. i don't know about Chris solo shows, but FM and LB shows always end on the mellow note, which has never been my personal preference.

Let's not forget all the songs they previously either wrote together or sing together:

World Turning
Don't Stop
Think About Me
Hold Me
You and I, part 1
You and I , part 2
Who's Dreaming this Dream

And some where their singing together isn't as obvious but still to me seem like Chris/Lindsey songs:
(Eyes of the World)
(everywhere)
(Little Lies)

Not necessarily related, but if her coming back to Fleetwood Mac hadn't worked, I thought she should have put together a band full of ex-Mac and associated musicians and done a small "solo" tour.
