Even if they did record a few new songs, or even an album, I don't think many of them would end up in the set list. At the most, we'd be lucky to get two new songs in the set. It sadly wouldn't radically alter the over-familiar show they have been doing.

But then again, some fans surprisingly want to keep the show frozen and set in stone, hence comments about how the group "have to" perform certain songs, and in a certain order, otherwise it isn't worth the cost. I don't understand that mentality at all. Granted, a significant portion of Fleetwood Mac's audience may only be familiar with the hits and famous songs.

However, at this advanced, albeit waning stage I wish the band would not care as much about that. I'd hope they would be inspired to use this opportunity to take stock in much of their overlooked material (deep album tracks, songs not performed in decades, b-sides, Buckingham Nicks songs, etc...) and give us a refreshed, revitalized show. As artists, why would they not want explore and challenge themselves to go beyond the stale norm? Is it because they are getting old and profit now trumps all else? It's like a painter painting only the same image over and over just because it's a safe and easy guarantee.
