I've read about other artists playing entire albums start to finish at their concerts - what I read said they normally play the non-album tracks first then shoot right into the album. The reverse of that as you described could work well too - guess it just depends on the artist/band as to how they arrange the setlist.
Yeah... Fleetwood Mac doing this type of thing is pretty unlikely to ever happen, but I think it's a great way to do a show when promoting a new album.

For SYW, it might have been harder to find room for fan favorites only because the album is already 18 tracks. But for the current tour? An entire album would be easy, and still leave enough room in the setlist for a dozen top-40 tracks. They could even mix it up - perform Mirage one night, and Rumours the next, and Tango the following show. Of course....without Christine, the magic of performing an entire album would be greatly diminished.

And I'm not sure Stevie can remember that many lyrics.
