15 Sisters of the Moon
15 That's Alright
14 Angel

I didn't realize That's Alright was in that much of demand live. I knew that people have always wanted SOTM and Angel, though.

if they'd play the ones i bolded on your list i would be very very happy and could probably make it through the rest of it unscathed! ;)

however, no way there would be 3 LB solo songs played during FM shows.

[QUOTE=michelej1;1078387]right?

same with Tango, although i'm really happy What Makes You Think You're The One is consistently among top 3.

but Caroline? really? :confused:

[QUOTE=elle;1078390]Wasn't surprised by Tango. We used to ask for it all the time. It would be at the top of every list and Chili would tell us it was the same thing as ? I don't know ISA or some other song and say we already HAD Tango.

I agree with you about Caroline's votes.

Michele

I would probably do the same, even though I've never seen them live.

[QUOTE=elle;1078390]I love Caroline and think it would be fun live. :shrug:

The coding came off, for clarification that was Elle's post you quoted, not me.

Although I probably won't make a show this time around I would LOVE to see SOTM added to the set.

I got the Mirage tour video many years ago and this was the song I watched the most - and having seen the Tusk tour version that's floating around on YouTube I still think this is one of the best songs the band did live.

I wonder why they dropped it? It wasn't a hit for them but it always seemed to be so well received:shrug:

IIRC, they started playing SOTM late on in the Rumours tour, and then throughout the Tusk and Mirage tours.

I imagine Stevie didn't really have the energy to rip it up by the time it came around to the Tango tour in 87 as she was pretty much doped up on klonopin for the whole tour, so it got dropped (along with "Rhiannon") and then forgotten about

Although unlikely, I think it'd be cool if they covered "Walls" by Tom Petty. :thumbsup:

Hi Elle :thumbsup: Since people seem to want Lindsey to sing Olivia Newton Johns song "Twist of Fate" ...and you want him to sing Janet Jacksons "That's the Way Love Goes" ... I thought I'd play too... I think he should sing Cyndi Laupers "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" this tour! :]:laugh:

Thanks for your reply:thumbsup:

Yes, I did wonder whether it was vocal issue with Stevie, she did hit a lot of long high notes on that song.

I just think the band in general sounded really, really good on that song and it worked very well live - but if it's going to affect Stevie's voice then maybe it's understandable that it remains dropped sadly.

Don't get me wrong, I think she could still do it justice vocally these days. The last few years have seen the best "Gold Dust Woman" performances since the Rumours tour. But during the Tango tour, Stevie was pretty out of it. She was even going through the motions with "Stand Back", and a song like "Sisters of the Moon" that would require some seriously high energy and passion just wouldn't have worked.

"The Dance" and "Unleashed" were both 'hits' tours ("The Dance" being the reunion tour and "Unleased" billed as 'The Hits' tour), so they stuck with the obvious setlist choices, give or take a few tracks (Farmers Daughter, Storms). The 03-04 tour was in support of the new album and, rightly so, had a focus on new material + the hits...at least it would have if Stevie hadn't stopped half her new material.

So really, the 2013 tour is the first opportunity they've had to do "Sisters of the Moon" since 1982. It wouldn't have worked on Tango or BTM tours due to Stevie's lack of energry and the tours since, it wouldn't have been relevant. So now is the perfect time to pick it back up again.

I've always thought Rhiannon or Seven Wonders would make a great opener for a set list especially if you replay the opening chords to Seven Wonders and have the lights go up on each chord on a different member until Stevie hits the stage and starts singing. But for this tour, I think I Don't Want To Know would be a great opener as well as wonderful surprise and message to tell people she and Lindsey are friends now and she is willing to do the song. But I suspect Lindsey will want to start the show with a song of his in which case I think Monday Morning into The Chain was killer last tour.

I once watched a Fleetwood Mac tribute band open their set with "Gypsy" and it was WRONG on so many levels. Pretty much guarunteed they'll open with either "The Chain" or "Monday Morning".
