What Would have Happened???
 

Hi everyone.
As its still very quiet on the post front, i thought i would add this post.

What would have happened if Mick,John,Christine,Billy & Rick would have toured.
What would the set list have been(upto and including the Time CD)
Lets say a set list of 25 songs.

Well heres mine(In No particular Order)

1) In The Back of My Mind
2) The Chain
3) As Long As You Follow
4) All over Again
5) Behind The Mask
6) Got No Home
7) Intuition
8) Oh Well
9) Over My Head
10) You Make Loving Fun
11) Skies The Limit
12) Dont Stop
13) Walk Another Mile
14) Hollywood
15) The Game Of Love
16) Loved Another Woman
17) Sentimental Lady
18)Little Lies
19) Over My Head
20) Go Your Own Way
21)Stop Messin' Round
22)Tear it Up
23) World Turning
24)Heroes Are Hard To Find
25) Hard Feelings

What a great set list! The only thing I'd add would be "Love Shines", "When The Sun Goes Down" and "Songbird". You can't have a Fleetwood Mac concert without "Songbird".

Hi macfan57,

I love songbird too,but i was thinking about ending the concert with All Over Again

julian

The list looks good, although, staying faithful to the chronology, I personally wouldn't include the Time tunes...I'd save those for a hypothetical concert set that would've had the Time band, including Christine.

And, I would only have them play "Over My Head" once instead of twice. :thumbsup:

That said, I would put "As Long As You Follow" as the "Songbird" replacement for most of the tour.


In The Back Of My Mind/The Chain (medley, as they did on the BTM tour)
Say You Love Me
When The Sun Goes Down
Stop Messin' Round
Isn't It Midnight
Oh Well
Save Me
Hard Feelings
Intuition
Why
Do You Know?
I Loved Another Woman
Brown Eyes
Got No Home
So Excited
Victim Of Love
Love Shines
Try Me
Little Lies
Rattlesnake Shake
World Turning
You Make Loving Fun
Go Your Own Way
{encores}
Roll With Me, Henry
Tear It Up
As Long As You Follow
Albatross

Alternate songs to swap out throughout the tour:
It Ain't Over
The Bigger The Love
The Game Of Love
Walk Another Mile
Skies The Limit
Behind The Mask
Don't Let Me Down Again
Over My Head
Oh Daddy
Don't Stop
Everywhere
Songbird

There surely would have been some more blues songs from the Peter Green days in there, since Rick Vito is primarily a blues guitarist.

But somehow, releasing The Chain boxset instead of recording a whole new album at the time destroyed many chances of longeivity that this band could have had.

or Dreams...IMO

So, we get John to sing it? :shocked: :lol:

Well, I WAS tempted to add more, but then Rick writes some really good tunes of his own...so I added those instead; just including the Peter Green tunes that Rick had previously done.

if you must. LOL

Really? That's funny, 'cause I could've sworn that I went to three of them. :D

I've never been to a Fleetwood Mac concert without "Songbird".;) :D

And I've never been to a Fleetwood Mac concert with "Songbird."

And probably never will 'cause I just can't afford it.

I've only been to one WITH "Songbird." They didn't play it when I saw them in 1990 (they were having sound problems all night). And, obviously, they didn't play it with the "Time" and SYW bands.

I keep forgetting you're young.

not in order, but my musts are in bold:

In The Back Of My Mind
When The Sun Goes Down
Isn't It Midnight
Oh Well
Do You Know?
I Loved Another Woman
Got a hold on me (if they played Stand Back, why not this song??)
Little Lies
You Make Loving Fun
As Long As You Follow
Albatross
Skies The Limit
Behind The Mask
Oh Daddy
Everywhere
Songbird
Love in store
Mystified
Stand on the rock
Never Forget
One more night
Over & over
Spare Me A Little Of Your Love
Wish you were here
You And I, Part II

obviously Chris would be the leader of the show. I wold enjoy this concert, no doubt!!! :thumbsup:

I think I know why Songbird wasn't in some performances
 

Hi, my first post in this forum. I have a "Rhino home video" copyrighted in 1997 about the making of Rumours in which at one point, Mic was saying how he had asked Christine to go on a tour and she replied, "only if I don't have to sing Songbird." He asked her why and she said, "I'm tired of crying." He said he always cried when she played it but never knew until then that it made her cry too. Btw, these aren't exact quotes. It's been a while since I played the videotape, and who has a VCR nowadays!

Actually, if I recall correctly, I think that "I'm tired of crying" quote is from John.

That is correct. It was John who was quoting Chris as saying that.

He didn't mean that she said she cried. He was explaining - in his roundabout-sometimes-hard-to-follow 'John' way :rolleyes: - how he told her that he didn't want to cry anymore when she played Songbird.

and then Chris said back to him, "You cry?" and he said 'yeah' and shook his head (in a way that made me cry. LOL)


sigh. those two. :(

Wasn't that part of the Disney Going Home documentary, and not the Rumours classic album set?

I'm pretty sure that was the Rumours Classic Album thing, or maybe Behind the Music...but definitely not the Disney thing.

For the record: John quoted Chris that she cries playing Songbird
 

I borrowed a VCR and played the video about makiing Songbird. Here, exactly, is what John said:

And me and Mick would stand in the wings, and she’d play Songbird and (pause) grown men would weep. And I’d do it every night. So we were talking about, ah, you know, putting the band back together, and she’s goin, “as long as I don’t have to play Songbird,” and Mick’s going “uh, you have to,” and she’s saying “well why, I don’t wanna cry anymore.” And he says, “oh, you cry?” “Yeah.”

By grown men, he meant him and Mick. And that may be why you heard concerts without Songbird.

It was the Rumours Classic thing. I just watched it, night before last.

Ok, cool.

John's wearing a bandana on his head and sitting outdoors, right? I can picture/hear the whole thing...just couldn't remember exactly the source. Thanks to all for setting me on the right path.

Yeah, now I remember the end of the Disney one...Mick's doing a voice over talking about a "new phase of Fleetwood Mac" (meaning the Time lineup.)

no, no, this is what I was trying to clarify. Granted he does not speak clearly LOL but he doesn't say 'she's saying' right before “I don’t wanna cry anymore.” He means that he said that, and she was surprised and said 'oh, you cry?' and he said yeah. watch it again, listen really carefully! believe me, i watched it way too many times trying to figure it all out. :laugh:

-Lis

I don't hear it like that, but then again, John isn't very lucid, is he! Why don't we settle it by asking Christine directly if she cried so much she didn't want to sing it any more? Oh, yeah, how do we do that?!:confused:

Use your head, folks.

Nobody cries every time he hears something -- even if it's the Arietta from Op. 111. You might cry once or twice or even three times -- all spaced apart -- but not each & every time you hear something. John is obviously exaggerating to make a point, which is a common feature of language.
