Hold Me will be performed on Buckingham McVie tour!!
 

from http://music.blog.ajc.com/2017/06/19...stain-june-21/ -

The set list, she said, will include eight songs from the new record and many of the classic Fleetwood Mac hits that she sang including “Everywhere” and the 1982 hit “Hold Me,” which was not included on the most recent Fleetwood Mac tour.

Aw ye beat me to it! ;)

Its great news but it really should not come as a surprise. They practiced it for the On With The Show tour rehearsals. Its the perfect opportunity to perform it live since they are a duo and sing together on the song.

The point was raised about it being rehearsed for the 14 Tour - I remember reading that it was going to be performed then in USA Today I think. I guess they're planning to do it this tour as an offering to the audience for hearing 8 new songs.

:sorry:

i really hope it does happen - that would be incredible!! (considering they rehearsed it and then dropped it the last minute for OWTS tour)

Hold Me would be a nice surprise, but totally appropriate. I think it would be awesome if they performed Got a Hold on Me, too. This lineup has a great opportunity to include some real surprises in their set list, so I hope they take advantage of their wealth of material.

what shows are you going to bwboy?

You going to Dayton, BW? Not a far trek from NE Ohio.

I would love for them to do Isn't It Midnight. That's another McVie/Buckingham gem that hasn't been played in a long time. In fact, I don't think Lindsey has ever even played it live at all.

I'm really torn about going. I had the same reaction to On With the Show and 24 Karat Gold, but ultimately decided to skip them both. If I go, it would be to the Huber Heights show Aug 8. It's only about 2 and 1/2 hours away.

I've seen FM 4 times and SN 3 times, so even though I'm a big fan, since I've seen them several times, I kind of feel like I have to be really, really close to the stage to be motivated to see them again. But I have to admit, this looks to be quite different from their usual show, so I'm very tempted. I've always wanted to see Lindsey solo, so this would be the next best thing. It's like for every pro, there's a con (for example, a more intimate venue, but it's a Tuesday night). It may come down to the set list. But I am really looking forward to reading everyone's reactions and thoughts!

I would love to see this live!

But then I have to wonder, is it too close to Carnival Begin for them to do it? The structure of the songs is similar, with the verses/choruses Christine and then the whole last half a searing solo by Lindsey. Carnival Begin does the same thing. Would Isn't It Midnight steal too much thunder from a new song??

Hold Me seems like it is kind of difficult to do live I noticed that when I saw them perform on the Mirage tour.I also think Christine actually pulled it off well on her 1984 solo tour but I had much closer seats for that .Glad to see it brought back.

I agree, it was 1000 times better on her solo tour than the Mirage tour.

She refined it and it rocked a lot harder.

Awesome! :thumbsup:

I think the Time band could have done a great job with it (and IDWTK).

I'm not sure if its really that hard to do live. There's nothing that hard about the music, I think the way they arranged it for the Mirage tour was just a misfire. All three bellowing "HOLD ME" without any kind of rhythm before concluding with "YEAHHH" was probably not the best way to translate it live.

I'm not a big fan of the song, but Ive actually seen a tribute band called Rumours ATL perform it quite well. Each of the three lead singers took turns saying "Hold me" on the chrous, layering over each other slightly to mimic the album. I thought it came across much more smoothly than the Mirage tour version and made it more interesting as it gave each singer a moment to shine.

They'll probably play it similarly to the way Christine arranged it for her solo tour though, which isn't bad. Anything is better than the original live arrangement.

I agree that they do a good job on it. I saw them a few months ago, and they were great. Honestly... $12 vs $350 (what I paid for my OWTS ticket), I'd almost rather just go see them!

Same. They sing everything I'd like to hear (of the big songs anyway, not expecting them to pull out Sisters of the Moon, Isn't it Midnight, or Eyes of the World here), are great musicians, and always put on a great show. And like you said- that price difference. I heard Stevie sing Dreams on her last tour and I heard Rumours sing it a few weeks ago... gotta say I enjoyed the latter perfomance much more.

It's easier to convince non-Mac heads to go to a 12$ show as well. :)

Yep. And even though Stevie is my least favorite FM member, "their" Stevie IS the show. They're all very good, but she IS Stevie. With actual "recording" singing range.

Funny, even though the actual Stevie probably comes out slightly ahead of Christine in my ranking I almost prefer the fake Stevie too. When the cover band played "Seven Wonders" and the girl belted out "on the way down, on the way down to Emmaline" with an actual singing range I was stunned. Makes me wish the original song sounded like that.

I know. It's truly sad when a cover band sounds better than the real artist! But they are 25 years younger, so they still have singing range left intact.

I can't wait to see them again! The real deal AND the fake. The fake is much nicer to my bank acct.

Yes! :blob2::blob2::blob1:

When I heard SOTM on the OWTS tour, I cringed. It was awful compared to the original.

Yeah, I didn't see the tour but from the audio SOTM does sound a bit underwhelming compared to the studio cut. The thing about that song is that it doesn't even necessarily need to be sung that well to be awesome (see the Mirage tour video). I think it's that lack of range now.

It'd be great if the band could choose some songs that are a bit more fitting for her current voice. "Dreams" doesn't come across nearly as well anymore because of it, but I'd argue that "Gold Dust Woman", "Edge of Seventeen" and "Stand Back" got stronger with time. In these songs she's able to just shout her way through it. I think she could similarly pull off "Everybody Finds Out", "Long Distance Winner", "No Spoken Word", "Fall From Grace", "Running Through the Garden", "Straight Back", "Say You Will", "Thrown Down", "Long Way to Go", or the original arrangement of "Smile at You". Problem is that these are all deep cuts :/

Not to say she can't pull off stuff like "Landslide", "Beautiful Child", "Bella Donna", or "Dreams" anymore... it's just her new voice will inevitably be compared unfavorably with the old on those songs.

Exactly, SOTM was alright but going down instead of up on "to me" just doesn't cut it.

I think she could still pull off BC, I'd love to see it again on an FM tour, it was fine on the SYW tour.

Maybe they could perform "Love In Store" as BuckVie....that might be nice to hear after all these years...

I spent all my concert money on the classic west. I would love to see Lindsey and Christine, but I'm holding out for Fleetwood Mac in July. Anyway though, I'm assuming there will be videos on YouTube. I am really excited to see Hold Me.

Classic East here, but I'm also going to see Buck Vie. Please, tell me what to expect after July 16. :thumbsup:

Ha you don't get Hold Me live then, a song you've be griping about to hear for several years now! That's what you get for spending your money on cash tabs :laugh:

I got good seats at classic west, which is six concerts, for the price of good seats at one Fleetwood Mac concert. I am perfectly content with not seeing Lindsey and Christine live. I will see them play Hold Me on YouTube. That is really the only song I would go see them for anyway. I don't want to see them play any of their new songs and the Fleetwood Mac songs that they're going to play, I would rather just see Fleetwood Mac. Who knows, maybe Hold Me will be on their 2018 farewell set list.
