Prediction: What will be "Storms" of Mac Tour 2013?
 

What do y'all predict will be the out-of-the-vaults song that the band brings to the Mac Tour 2013? I'm thinking for e.g. "Storms" for Unleashed and "Beautiful Child" for SYW.

I'm thinking "Walk A Thin Line" is a possibility given Lindsey has been playing it solo and that Mick picked it recently as a fave.


Also, I think I would soil myself if the band actually did "Dreams"?! But I don't think they'll ever take a chance like that. They play it too safe.

Lindsey made a comment about I Don't Want To Know didn't he?

So possibly that. I think there's a fairly good chance we'll hear something that dates back to the BN era to tie in with the 40th anniversary.

Didn't you mean to say Sister's Of The Moon?

I Don't Want To Know would make a lot of sense... it's an iconic song that's not a part of their live repertoire, it's a holdover Buckingham Nicks track, and it showcases the harmonization of Lindsey & Stevie. This is a very likely and logical choice.

Straight Back would be a cool choice as well, but I don't see it happening.

Save Me A Place was gorgeous on Lindsey's recent solo tours, and I think it'd make a fantastic addition to the Mac setlist.

The Ledge would be a lot of fun. I see Lindsey pulling this one out for his solo shows, but not so much for the Mac.

I love the idea of FM pulling "Sister Of The Moon" out of retirement more than what I fear the reality of it would be. I have no doubt that Stevie can still sing the song (basically it's the same chords (Am, F, G, C) as Rhiannon, POTU, Moonlight, etc.) But the missing key ingredient is the angst & menace of a younger Stevie of 30 years ago. I suspect it would be a grasp and probably a huge disappointment compared to her notorious performances of it during the "Tusk" & "Mirage" tours.

With "Storms" & "Beautiful Child" we had nothing to compare those performances with, we were just thrilled and excited because those songs had been beloved for so long and never in a million years did we expect the band would play those beautifully delicate songs live in concert.

My vote for a deep cut to resurrect would go to "Straight Back". That and bring back "Angel" and "Seven Wonders".

That would be sensational. The fast pace of SHN and I Know I'm Not Wrong are so much fun in concert, even for people who don't know the latter and Stevie even seems to enjoy those songs. I don't imagine that she likes The (Quirky) Ledge as much, but I think it would have the same infectious quality live, based on the old rehearsal tape.

Stevie took a solemn vow in New Orleans never to play that song again in this lifetime. Until she got to Florida.

I think alot of the choices others have mentioned would be great like I Don't Want to Know, Angel, Sisters of the Moon.

As a way to balance out the set, a song or songs from Mirage, Tango, or even Say You Will would be great since those albums are so poorly represented on FM tours and such. :cool:

Did he? What did he say about it? I guess I missed it!

I could see Stevie doing a kick ass Angel. I think they like to give Tusk some love now since it's become such a cult classic. I would love for them to pull out something like Crying In The Night or even do a medley of BN songs. Or even a short acoustic set of BN songs the way Stevie did that unplugged section during her Enchanted tour (I loved that so much).

With this in mind perhaps they will bring out That's Alright for the first time.

it would be nice if they do several deep cuts from each of the 2 songwriters. just one song like they did during Unleashed and SYW tours is really almost nothing.

also, we've been telling Lindsey over and over that he should do some of his solo songs with the mac - so at least one solo song from each LB and SN would be nice (to either replace or add on to Go Insane and Stand Back). In Our Own Time being possibly a top fan choice for a LB song.

re Walk A Thin Line - thanks for bringing it up! i would of course LOVE to hear that song on the 2013 Mac tour :nod: ... but however amazing it was, and however eternally grateful to him i am that he did it, you can't really characterize performing one verse of the song, once (after being heavily barraged by the fans for almost a day to do that song :angel:) as "Lindsey has been playing it solo" :distress::shrug:

Best of all, they get credit for a "deep cut" and still get to beat Rumours into the ground. :wavey:

My guesses are Sisters, Crystal, Stephanie, Blue Letter, and What Makes You Think Youre the One.
