Stop playing the same freaking songs!!!!!
It makes you look lazy



Yeah! I second that thought! Put some new stuff in like Thrown Down! Or some classics like SOTM or Save Me A Place!


Or even Angel (of my Dreams)!!!

The setlist will be changed, no doubt about it....the question is really how brave Fleetwood Mac gets....

Here are the sure bets.....

You can bet the following songs wont be touched:
The Chain
Dreams
Gypsy
Big Love
GYOW
Gold Dust Woman
Tusk
Silver Springs
Rhiannon
Peacekeeper
Say You Will
Im So Afraid
Secondhand News
Never Going Back Again
Don't Stop
Total: 15 songs untouched *probably*

Next, songs that could get the axe:
Eyes of the World
Come
Say Goodbye
Beautiful Child
World Turning
Whats the World Coming To
Goodbye Baby
Total: 7 songs they could chop *probably*

Next, songs that have a GOOD CHANCE of showing up:
Destiny Rules
Steal Your Heart Away
Oh Well
Storms
Red Rover
Monday Morning
Total: 6 songs that could show up

The main thing we have to remember is to be realistic....believe me, as much as I want "Dreams" dropped, I know they wont....You can probably expect shuffling of the order, and some song changes, but dont expect anything out of this world (I hope I am proved wrong)

David,
I agree "Blue Lamp" would be a nice addition! I never thought of that song - was thinking more mainstream with "Edge...".

I actually think they should change out a few of the standards for more standards not played if they want to be safe - ie change out "Second Hand News" for "Monday Morning", etc. I don't mind hearing Dreams, etc. and the other standards but would love a few new one's and come on , why not some Buckingham Nicks - now is their chance! "Crystal" would be incredible and didn't they used to do "Don't Let me Down Again." I tell ya if they are willing to play new stuff a lot of the crowd has not heard why not the old stuff they also have not heard (but the rest of us knows!)

I think Say Goodbye, Beautiful Child, World Turning and Goodbye Baby will stay...I think they have a better chance than SYW or (especially) Peacekeeper even. I think they might trade those two out for Thrown Down and Steal Your Heart Away or (less likely) Miranda. And I'm in denial that Eyes may get the ax.:( :) I think L & S are enjoying Say Goodbye too much to let it go (as are we;) ), they're enjoying BC and there's no chance they're tired of it, World Turning has been a show staple and I can't see them reworking where Mick's vest is going to fit into the show, and Goodbye Baby is our little treat at the end of the show (I know some are against this quiet song at the end, but I love that 3/4 of the audience has left and it becomes very personal for us fanatics. The band knows what they're doing here. Same reason I believe Stevie always does HAEWAFY as the very last song for years now, so that she is left singing it just to us.) Personally, I want to see Landslide go (I know it won't, but I hate to say, despite the fact that it is an epic, AMAZING song I love and adore and it's a poignant moment in the show, I am growing weary of it), and would wet myself to see Crystal take its place. And Amen! to the movement to see Big Love plugged in. For a long while after first being introduced to the acoustic version, I thought I could never not favor it, but I fiond myself yearning for the Tango version (as brilliant as the acoustic version is).

I don't think they will change the setlist much. When do they have the time to rehearse? Isn't Kristen ready to pop soon? I hope he's spending time with her in her last month.

I just think it will stay the same. They announced old and new songs and they probably feel they have the perfect mix of that. I could see SYW and Peacekeeper go for some Frozen Love and Tango in the Night but THAT won't happen.

The same set list would be fine. I DON'T want to see Come or Stand Back go...those are the two most fun songs I think.

Even though I throw in my comments about what I'd IDEALLY like to see happen with the setlist, bottom line is I do love all of the songs they're playing and am not going to pitch a fit if they don't change it.

I realized today that maybe they do just really love those songs THAT much (or they really are just THAT much in the habit of playing them) because they don't even branch out during soundchecks...their chance to goof around playing whatever the heck they feel like. A lot (if not most) artists do this at sound checks (ie, Paul McCartney practically plays an entire mini show at his soundchecks, doing rare or unreleased songs, jams, covers of oldies, and general musical goofing off). Imagine all of the hundreds of times Stevie has performed Dreams (with or without Mac), and double it because she seems to always do it at soundchecks. It's wild!

Not to quote my own post, but.....

The people who only care about Rumours are drunk anyway, so as long as they (maybe:distress: ) remember hearing, say, GYOW and The Chain, they'll be back again next year for that "great show" and another round of beers.:distress: ;) :D :nod:


{"Great show" as in quoting the drunk person who deems it that after only remembering 2 Rumours songs, not as in me implying the show isn't great.:) }

Well, they are in rehearsals right now. A friend of mine was in their rehearsal space on a location scout yesterday. They weren't in there at the time, but my pal had her drawings laid out on this massive road case, and she started looking at the case. Of course it said MAC on it it, and she saw Stevie's name on a few things. Then she saw a sofa, a table with an incense burner on it, and a big shawl tossed over the sofa. Who else could it be ? She knows me well, and immediately called me.

Alas, all of my friends who work on that lot are on hiatus, and I would be hard pressed to get a pass to get onto the lot to hang around at this time. I am, however, working on it...

Nobody else. This is good news, I think, because it means they are possibly updating the setlist.:)

Cross your fingers for "Storms." I? Would die. :nod:

I'd love to hear ANYTHING new or that hasn't been played in a while.

I agree. The first show is more than a month away, so if they're already starting to rehearse, this bodes well for some changes in the setlist.

* Non Fleetwood Mac Albums

Good choices! I love RTTG and I wish they would play it live!

You're assuming that they're rehearsing specifically because they plan on doing new songs? I think they'd rehearse for this leg anyway, regardless of whether they were playing new songs.

I know you may think I'm weird, but I'd like to hear Fleetwood play a whole set of Andy Williams standards. If they do that, somebody let me know & I'll call a broker.

Stevie would do a kick ass version of Sisters Of The Moon River.:laugh:

So do we pretty much know/strongly suspect this is indeed a continuation of the Say You Will Tour and not just a "Summer Fun 2004 Just 'Cause We Feel Like It Tour"?! Sure, not really characteristic of them, but people do it all the time.

I was wondering this too. I hope it is a summer fun tour because then the setlist would have to be brand spankin' new. The only proof that this could be a brand new tour is that the guy that introduced them on the New Years Eve show said that it was a brand new tour, I think. Does anyone know anything about this?

This is so unrealistic, but here goes:

1. Miranda (Can you imagine them opening with a NEW song?!)
2. Say You Will (And then continuing with another NEW song!)
3. Monday Morning
4. The Chain (Ahhh, familiarity)
5. Dreams (There's the set we know)
6. Eyes of the World
7. That's Alright
8. Crying in the Night
9. Frozen Love
10. Thrown Down
11. What Makes You Think You're the One
12. Big Love (Full Band)
13. Sara
14. Say Goodbye
15. Silver Springs
16. Tusk
17. Not That Funny/Solo (Stevie needs rest for #19)
18. Blue Letter
19. Everybody Finds Out
20. Go Your Own Way

Encore
21. Rhiannon
22. Don't Stop
23. Come (And she can disappear again...rest for the next one)

2nd Encore
24. Sisters of the Moon
25. Crystal

Interesting concept. Any Fleetwood scholars want to tell us if they ever have from previous tours . I'm thinking they have. Hmmmmmmmm.

Great setlist! If only...

But who would sing lead on Crystal? Am I the only one that likes the Practical Magic Stevie solo version better?

I think that if they started with a new song, RTTG would be their best bet. Could you imagine if they opened the night with "until she herself became the deadliest poison as she grew older" a capella? I think it would work. Then we would have the whole Lindsey guitar solo in the song complete with Stevie spins and twirls like a crazy woman to rival any twirling she did in the 70's and 80's. Now that would be a great way to open the show, I think! :nod:

Lindsey and Stevie would alternate verses and sing together on the chorus. ;)

Well that sounds fair!

I'd like to see them open with "Come" and I'd like Stevie to actually sing on it. She could yell "Come!" at various moments thorughout the solo, quickly followed by a love grunt. :nod: Then, towards the end, they could do some dirty dancing and he could lift her up into the air. Of course, he would have to end it by saying "No one puts Stevie in the corner." ;)

If only...

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

They opened with "In The Back Of My Mind" on the "Behind The Mask" tour.

And it totally rocked. :nod:

:lol:

Seriously though, they MUST do Crystal at some point! It's such a great song! And I think it would be a better closer than GB personally. The alternating vocals was a good idea as well!

ROTFLMAO! :laugh:
