nashville setlist order.. spoilers ahoy
 

well, omg. just got home from nashville. i'm totally spoiled now. i don't really want to see fleetwood mac anymore.. i just wish lindsey'd do this forever. but that's just me. ;)

anywhoooo.. for spoiler reasons, i didn't read the atlanta thread, but looking at it now i see that it's not in running order. i kept a pen & paper handy to keep track tonight, because my short term memory isn't so hot. i added some comments here and there. also, there was a clock on the side of the stage visible to me, so i wrote down the times each song began just for whatever reason.. it gives you an idea of how long the show is.

the meaty spoiler part starts here.......


For the first 3 songs, he was alone on the stage, spotlight only..
1. 8:19 PM - "Not too Late". (not liking this on cd, but loved seeing him do it live.)
2. 8:25 PM - Trouble
3. 8:30 PM - Never Going Back Again

band members enter the stage for the first time at this point, no speaking yet
4. 8:34 PM - Second Hand News
- After SHN, he did a little speech that I called "growing up". If you remember the article where he mentions fighting with his wife before she left to go home, then writing Cast Away Dreams.. you've got the idea.
5. 8:39 PM - Cast Away Dreams
- "If there were Godsss" Red Rover schtick
6. 8:44 PM - Red Rover (threatened to fall apart several times, but they kept it together)
7. 8:50 PM - It Was You (love this live. he does a little thumbs up, upward motion at the william/leelee/stella's heeeeere stuff, cute cute cute song live. short and sweet.)
8. 8:53 PM - Big Love (he put way more into it than i've seen him do with fm, honestly.)
9. 8:58 PM - GO INSANE POEM, wooohoooooooooo, then Go Insane. (Incidentally, he sang the verses backwards. Started with trouble in this world livin/dyin, used people winners/losers for 2nd verse.)
10. 9:03 PM - Under the Skin
11. 9:07 PM - World Turning (Taku had his drum solo, but it wasn't annoying like Mick's.)
12. 9:14 PM - I'm So Afraid (I like the new "style" this has to it a little bit.. Neil/Neal is doing some nice ambient things and playing in tandem with LB a lot.)
13. 9:22 PM - I Know I'm Not Wrong
14. 9:27 PM - Tusk (starts with background noise, then lindsey starts on guitar.. sings the verses before the drums even start. i liked the change, to be honest, since i've heard it so many times. tuggle's keyboard parts were spot on, with the horns programmed in.)
15. 9:34 PM - GYOW (same-o.)
Exit stage.. crowd kept a steady clap until he came back, approx. 1 minute.. introduced the band at some point right in here, but I didn't write that down, so I'm not exactly sure when it was.
16. 9:39 PM - Holiday Road. (I cannot believe it. I absolutely cannot believe it. It was great though.. he barked at the end, everybody started doing it, then he kind of flipped out and did a gnarllll and all kinds of crazy stuff and ended up on his back on the ground with legs in the air, then he just laid there. There were a couple times Neil looked like he was thinking, "um.. is he ok" and I actually heard someone behind me say that. I think he completely exhausted himself.. he was red.)
17. 9:44 PM - Show You How

That was supposed to be the end, I think. He bent down to sign a few autographs, and then got TOTALLY swamped by people rushing up with some Hatch Show print posters that were available at the merch table. The posters were awesome, and I'm lucky to have been at a Nashville show to pick one up. Anyway.. Lindsey's a clever man.. he would have been there signing forever, so he stopped when the rush came, went to the mic, and said, "want to hear one more song??" everybody freaked out, and a guitar tech brought out the Rick Turner acoustic..

18. 9:50 PM - Bleed to Love Her (alone, no backing band.. sounded great. everybody was on their feet and singing right along.)

The amount of energy Lindsey put into this show was absolutely amazing. I was so in love with the show that I was having a hard time remembering to sing along or clap, to be honest with you. He thanked the crowd several times for the outrageous applause, etc. he was getting.. mentioning that he hasn't done this on his own for a long time or very much at all, and that it made him feel very good. It seems like every song was a pat on the back for him, pumping his fists in the air and doing the Home-Alone "yesss" fist down type thing. Just screaming and going on. It was absolutely great.

Those of you who are lucky enough to be able to go to multiple shows.. I envy you. But this one show was worth the almost 10 year wait for me. I've waited a very long time for this night.. just like you guys have.. and I can say that one of the dreams I've had for so long has been fulfilled above and beyond what I could even begin to hope for. I hope he brings it back around with the next cd.. he's got a LOT to offer, and his fanbase is behind what he does - however unconventional it may be - 100%.

yes. i frikkin' love lindsey buckingham.

Beautiful words, Sarah! Thank you for posting this. Now I REALLY can't wait to see him!

Thank you SOOOO much Sarah. I BET I would have died on the spot there.

I'm really surprised he didn't do "Down on Rodeo"!

Thank you for that recap! I literally got goosebumps down my arms and legs...he is an incredible performer. I've got to see a show on this tour...I hope he adds at least one Texas date!

Thank you for your notes...

rbs

He should at least play Austin. :D I bet they'd love him here.

:eek: I would love to hear that! Sounds like a fantastic show, not overly formal, which is great. Glad you had an awesome time.:thumbsup:

I was too, Blinker. I was also surprised at the omission of SGCYM. I feel like the crowd was made of "for real" Lindsey fans... but everybody seemed to really enjoy all the FM stuff he played. I would have liked to hear some more solo stuff.. but I'm not complaining by ANY means.

It was not a formal, stuffy show. Best concert I've ever been to, period. It was comfortable.

Great review, Sarah, thanks!

Don't mean to be the Debbie Downer here, but after seeing the t-shirts, I don't think LB will be adding anymore dates. :shrug: Tom Petty's Leg One t-shirts had all the dates thru Leg Three listed on 'em - before they were even announced. :shrug:

Bummer he didnt do Down on Rodeo, but Bleed 2 Love Her made up for that! I wish they had done that song on the SYW tour!

I just got back from Nashville too! Back from front and center. I'm not going to do a review, because Sarah did such a great job. The show was absolutely terrific! The only thing that I didn't like was the fact that he didn't interact with the crowd as much as he does when he is with the Mac. His demeanor was in some ways different, in some ways not his usual self. He didn't signed as many autographs as usual and only on the very left and very right of the stage. I found this strange. :shrug: Did anyone else notice this? Otherwise, I have only high praise.:thumbsup:

Good to hear

I felt bad for Lindsey that the entire back of the main floor was empty.

I was shocked to find out that Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban were there.

Kristen was there.

I waited outside the show afterwards, out back and saw Lindsey get into the car. I said hi to K, she said hello back, but looked confused "like who recognizes me?". Lindsey hopped straight into the car, no signing, no waving, nothing.

That was a good thing, actually, because the three drunk, jerk-offs in front of me, A) didn't even go to the show B) Didn't even know the names of GO YOUR OWN WAY or DON'T STOP. They also tried to argue with me that Don't Stop was the name of the song used for the Clinton campaign??? As Lindsey's car pulled away, a drunk woman from a bar behind the Ryman started to try and sing Dreams at the car, but made up a chorus using the word Dreams over and over again... Appreciate the damn man, and his talent an.... well never mind, I'm sure you've all been stuck in that state of mind and wanting to preach Lindsey or the Mac to the masses...

On a great note, Taku was outside for a bit, talking with some friends or something. I had my mother with me, and she wanted his autograph, I shouted over some folks and told him that my mom loves him and wondered if she could have a pic. He kinda shrugged and grinned and said "sure". I think the members of the band really appreciate it when they are recognized.

The show was great. I found the song "Under the Skin" drug on a little in concert. Not Too Late, maybe not the best choice for the opener? Trouble... I think the version on Soundstage is better. NGBA = standard (miss the backing vocals by La Nicks). SHN = the only time in the entire concert I think Lindsey missed Stevie on stage... it was like, he was directing his eyes, his anger, whatever is involved in that song at this point, at thin air... I love the song, but I think its best served with that playful back and forth they do during that song on stage...

I am SHOCKED as far as he went with the Castaway Dreams speech last night, with K in attendence. Especially that line... "should be allowed time to mourn" (in reference to giving up on an "obsession"). I am in favor of calling this the "time to grow" speech... "You have to give some ethings up in order to let others grow". At any rate, the song was well done.

Rover = standard.

It Was You got the same results that I read fromt he Atlanta review and he was TICKLED when we cheered on the names of the fam. "Yeah, IIIIIIII...."

Big Love/Sardonic World/Go Insane = standard. Don't get me wrong, standard still equals the brilliance have seen over the years, just, nothing new. For once, though, I'd kill to see an 80's performance of Go Insane... maybe even put on the eraser top wig. Maybe we should all start wearing eraser head wigs to the shows and con him into it????

As said before, UTS = drug on... World Turning = THANK GOD FOR NO 45 minute long solo by Mick. I didn't mind Lindsey singing Chris's parts. Didn't she write that song solo?

ISA and IKINW were spot on. IKINW is definitely a crowd song.

Tusk = the first verse = eerie. Just him, very little sounds, and "why don't you tell me...." had a weird, but AWESOME vibe to it, then of course, the drums came in, etc. I like the pre-singing "Tusk Creep" he does up to the microphone before starting the song. I also like the end of the song "Victory Stomp". I miss train-conducter LB that we get when Stevie follows him on stage, but, definitely worth the trade-off.

I'm not terribly upset at Murrow being yanked. I was upset that we weren't going to get a replacement, THANK YOU MR. SPONTANEOUS at the end... A sidenote, before the show, by the bus, I heard a roadie complaining about not knowing a song and adding something at the last minute. I wonder if there's a new song added in VA, or if Bleed To Love Her was planned.

Onto GYOW, exit... no matter how many times i hear it, I never tire. I hope he feels the same way about playing it.

HOLIDAY ROAD WAS MY LIFE, and wow. Worth the price of admission... and the barks!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! At the end of the song, we need to get Aresnio Hall "woof woof woof"s going, no?

Show You How = better served in the show, not as encore, if you ask me. I love the song, but "Save Me a Place" has a place, or maybe he could "Say Goodbye" to us at the end?

Followed by the impromptu Bleeding...

I'd still give my left and/or right nut for a release and performance of Twist of Fate... I'm just saying.

While I missed DOR and SGCYM at the show, in hindsight... not so much, I have them on DVD. And whoever said it, this is definitely a FAN'S set list... good mix. I just don't get the complete dropping of any OOTC material. I still hear Soul Drifter and Countdown in stores or restaraunts to this very day.

Can't wait for CINCY and CHICAGO... may there be more changes to the set list! :) Keep us guessing LIDDY!

And ONE MORE THING, why can't we all just stand and dace and rock out? He deserves it!

Ummm...it was...
