Man you guys are going to far back for me, I say stick with the albums they actually worked on, except for maybe "Oh Well" Lindsey rocks that one to heart
felt peices! Hmm..I'd love to hear "Go Insane" ...I don't really care what they end with because by the end of a show, I am ready to leave. (it's the truth) :shrug:

Get with the program. Nair left John's legs with a nasty rash, so he upgraded to Veet. His legs have to look somewhat presentable for those short shorts, babe.

I'd love to hear Station Man too. :)

I'd love it if they did another BN song! Lola is my favorite, but not as a closer. More pre-1975 Macsongs would be great too!
He sings pretty softly on Say Goodbye, for the most part. ;)

I always thought that would make a great closer.
He could also do Someone's Gotta Change Your Mind which was incredible at Soundstage last year.

shackin'up 05-30-2004 01:50 PM
I'd go for Sorcerer as a closer. Even if they have to rearrange it. (And they have to! :lol: )

Cerersorc
Is who master the?
Woman man and a stream on star
Middle in snow of dream

No thanks, I'll stick with Goodbye Baby. :p

Farmer's Daughter
 
Speaking of closers, I had a question for the veteran Mac fans...

When did "Farmer's Daughter" become the closer for their show? (I assumed the Tusk tour.) Has that always been their closer since then, or did they just revive it for the Dance tour?

I remember becoming a fan during The Dance and then heard it on the Live 1980 album, and figured it was always their closer, aside from Songbird. It's an interesting choice, because I thought that it was never released, hence no one would know it and that'd be a weak point to end a show with. But, I think it's the perfect song because it features everyone in the band together in a soft moment.

rollison 05-30-2004 04:41 PM
I just wish they'd break out of the "We have to open with The Chain" mantra.....I mean, I think it would work *GREAT* if they opened with Second Hand News and *closed* with and extended version of The Chain, ala Rumours tour... Anyone agree?

One thing I really dig about them is their traditions with their shows (Chain-Dreams opener, Songbird closer) but I agree. I would have loved to have seen the rehearsal opening with Eyes of the World. The crowd would have know idea what it was and suddenly it explodes into the song and they go crazy. But then again, I just don't see Chain fitting in anywhere except opening or closing the show, it just wouldn't work in the middle of the set in my opinion.

That's one of those songs that grew on me. I didn't like it at first, now I play it over and over (sure, pun intended. LOL). Did he hold the word, mind, REALLY long like he does on the studio verison?

I cannot WAIT to hear this on his Soundstage!!!!! :blob1::blob2:

Get rid of The Chain altogether. Not only is it stale, but the "chain" is not together. It was a special song when it was all five of them, all five writers. Now? There's a link missing from the chain and it don't work like it used to.

Heheh this is a debate which should go into its own thread, but I've always felt that The Chain refers to the music, not the band. This is why it can be played through any Fleetwood Mac unit. I felt odd listening to Lindsey playing it on his solo tour - but then thought about it and realized that he brought his own interpretation, just like they did with the Tango tour, adjusting for new/lost members. I just think that The Chain's come to represent the music period of F-Mac, not necessarily the Rumours line-up/chain sticking together.

Hey how about "Edge Of Seventeen" Or "Outside The Rain" :blob2:

Great songs, but I don't see them adding another solo song to the set, especially as a finale.

Go Insane is amazing, but I don't need to hear it and Bg Love in the same set again. And I'd prefer a closer that includes the whole band.

Should I know what Veet is before now?

I'm almost as lost as the time you guys mentioned Ambien and I thought it was booze.

I think any BN song would work, or even Twisted. It's solo, but at least it's everybody.

Yeah, I believe Farmer's Daughter was just in The Dance, wasn't it? Was it even in much of the Tusk Tour? I thought the Live album version wasn't even from an actual show.

Yeah, I think The Chain works just as well at the end.

Oh, I wouldn't mind Dreams being moved to a fresher spot.

No way, I say keep The Chain. It's an anthem.
In fact, I'd love for Stevie to sing Fireflies & dedicate it to Chris.

What about "Fireflies" , Yes?

And we need a bite me smilie btw :D

Interesting.
I think the song is about the five fireflies, but it's fine for any of them to play it in the absence of another as a sort of tribute to their bond.
