Songs rehearsed for The Dance
 

Can anyone provide a definitive list of the songs that were rehearsed (but not, ultimately, performed live) for The Dance tv concert / tour, please?

I have heard some pretty odd rumours about what they played in rehearsal... :shocked:

I don't know the whole list but I recall reading that "Brown Eyes" and "Easy Come Easy Go" (from ITM) were rehearsed.

It's a shame recordings haven't surfaced. I'd love to hear a full band version of Easy Come Easy Go.

I think we could see a black board with some songs listed on it. I seem to recall that YMLF was one of the songs up there.

They DID do YMLF during The Dance...I think you're confusing the SYW tour.

Isn't It Midnight was given consideration as well.

The only one I heard that was rehearsed but not used was Little Lies

Gail

And they wound up playing this later on in the ensuing tour.

I keep forgetting that. I'm slipping!

No, they didn't. Oh Daddy was the only Christine song added to the tour that wasn't on the live DVD.

Yep...it replaced "Over My Head", which wasn't performed on the tour, only for the DVD audience.

VINDICATION! :p Maybe I'm not going crazy after all!

Would have loved to see a full rumours version of little lies, shame it only exists as a studio recording. YMLF in my opinion just cannot work without Christine, so i wonder how they arranged it for the SYW tour.

I had heard that they'd rehearsed As Long As You Follow, too.

I'd have liked to have heard that one.

It wasn't performed on the SWY Tour. The songs of Christine's they did was Say You Love Me and a Stevie butchered Don't Stop.

SYLM was almost as painful as Don't Stop. On both SYW and Unleashed :distress:

Interesting that more of Christine's songs were considered.

I wonder if any of Stevie's solo or mac songs were considered but in the end dropped?

I really liked Christine's songs on the Dance.

agreed... :(

That's because you don't mess with Perfektion!:nod::nod:

HOLLA!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Yeah, you're right. I was thinking of that blackboard we saw in the Destiny Rules video.

Michele

But of course! ;):D

I could have sworn they played Isn't it Midnight in Buffalo...Please tell me my memory is not as bad as this!

According to the bootleg Oh Daddy was played

Fleetwood Mac - Live in Buffalo, NY, 23rd Nov 1997 2 CDRs
1: The Chain, Dreams, Everywhere, Gold Dust Woman, I'm So Afraid, Temporary One, Bleed To Love Her, Gypsy, Big Love, Go Insane, Landslide, Say You Love Me, Sweet Girl, You Make Loving Fun, My Little Demon, Stand Back. 2: Oh Daddy, Not That Funny, Band Introductions, Rhiannon, Second Hand News, Silver Springs, Tusk, Go Your Own Way, Songbird, Farmer's Daughter. Quality: A-

Angel and Blue Letter were rehearsed. As was You And I, Part II.

As far as I recall the only change in the set list throughout the entire tour was that "Eyes Of The World" was played on opening night...it was ****canned for "Second Hand News"...the rest of the tour's set list never varied (nor did their comments between songs, from what I've heard on recordings...and witnessed on back to back October nights in Irvine)

You and I?! Whoa! That would have been a surprise. I wonder how they did it - full band, or a Lindsey special? :)

Sisters of the Moon, Straight Back, Seven Wonders, and Sister Honey were also rehearsed, but they settled on Sweet Girl instead. Okay, maybe not...

Sister Honey??? C'mon now...

The only different banter I can remember offhand is that on at least 2 nights Lindsey forgot the order of the setlist and they joked about that, because he had begun to start another song. He and Christine remarked on it. Stevie said nothing to Lindsey, but went to Christine and pointed it out and then Christine spoke to Lindsey and he laughed at himself.

Michele

Yes, it was called Oh daddy, isn't it midnight?

I was too young when the Dance came out (I was probably too busy watching Nick or doing stuff for the first or second grade) and no offense, but a song called Oh daddy, isn't it midnight could be pretty cool

Fabulous, Penguin Head!

Okay, I guess I was wishing they'd played Isn't it Midnight. That Buffalo show was amazing and my head was spinning.

Wow it's crazy to run into somebody who was at the Buffalo show. I was there up in the nosebleeds at "Marine Midland Arena"....I was all of 13/14 years old.

Very memorable show because it was my first, but slightly ruined because the sound was MISERABLE up in the bleeds.

Wish a good bootleg of that show was around. I had a copy but it was pretty bad.

Oh man, I would have LOVED to have heard As Long As You Follow!!!

I didn't know they did SYLM on the SYW tour.... anyone have a version of this?

They didn't. That was the Unleashed tour.

SYLM is on YouTube... unfortunately.

But not from the SYW tour because they didn't play it.

Which is why I quoted Alex's post about it being from Unleashed? :shrug:
