yes, you have the right idea, i'm asking for songs that sound great performed by FM nowadays, regardless of who the main performer is. they perform as FM, so whether one performer is impressive or they all are, that reflects good on the whole band. if some song showcases Mick's drumming in great light (doesn't necessarily need to be a drum solo), or John's bass in great light, and that carries the song, that's what i'm also asking for, not just songs that show off Stevie's or Lindsey's skills.

we have so far:
  • I'm So Afraid
  • Big Love
  • Gold Dust Woman
  • GYOW
  • The Chain
  • Landslide
  • Tusk
  • Go Insane (band version)

any more?? there has to be some other songs that are still great live!

i would argue that Tusk with the Mac has not been very good on the recent tours, but it was reworked and fun again on Lindsey's SWS tour. so i'm hoping that if we get Tusk this time around, the version they play is reworked similarly to SWS tour version.

re Go Insane, considering it's a solo song, i really hope that will be replaced with another song this FM tour, regardless of home much i love both solo and band versions of that song, and how spectacular and intense Lindsey's OMS version was.

re GYOW, i think that for the most part it's not as good as it used to be, but always amazing guitar solo makes up for it. plus this is one song that is a party / audience interaction song, i'm guessing similarly to EO17/edgewalk is during SN solo shows.
