Call me crazy, but I think it ruins the energy of an FM show. Sort of like shoving a reminder of the 80's into a timeless setlist.
I wish they would lose it -- so many really great amazingly crafted songs that would be better toward the end of a show.

AMEN TO THAT !!! I have worshipped Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac for the better part of 30 years. In my opinion, "Stand Back" represents one of the artistic low points of her career. I've never liked the song....and 30 years later the song IS tired and overcooked. I think they need to give it a rest.
MOREOVER, "Stand Back" has NO PLACE in a Fleetwood Mac set list. Honey, it is
ME who needs a little sympathy when I'm forced to sit through that song for what feels like the 100th time. But, hey, when "Stand Back" comes on at a Fleetwood Mac show, at least its my chance to visit the restroom and refill my adult beverage. I might as well be "standing in the drink line".............
