I don't think you should worry about them playing new songs
on the tour. They are after all Fleetwood Mac. I do hope they
prove me wrong. Two new songs from each of the three writers
would be fine with me. And if so, they'd better put out a Blu ray
of this tour.
Only Over You is hard to listen to when she sings the
part I'm out of my mind. I wish I could write it out like
she sings it. Egad it's horrible. Cringeworthy for sure.
It's not that I don't like Christine, I really do. And it's not
like I feel that way about many of her songs. Even though
I didn't like one song from In The Meantime, none of
them make me feel the way Only Over You and Ricky
does.
Christine isn't alone in this. Stevie has the Street Angel
album and Lindsey has the It Was I video. There are
more, but I'll be nice and stop here.

My parents like Fleetwood Mac, I can remember being on some road trip as a kid and The Dance had just came out, we listened to that cd the entire car trip. I think that's where it started. My dad was a hippie in the late 60s-early 70s and saw Fleetwood Mac live a couple times both with different personnel, once before Christine joined and once when Christine was in the band, but before Stevie and Lindsey joined.
I think six new songs out of a 20-22 song set list is too many, maybe one new song from each writer if they have to play new songs. I don't doubt that they will be good and I do believe that some artists are timeless, but I just have never been interested in classic artists' new material, post heyday material. If I'm going to pay $200+ for great tickets to see these great timelessly classic artists, I want to see them performing their timelessly classic songs. And for Fleetwood Mac that time period was 1975-1987. I paid $400 for my Fleetwood Mac ticket last summer, I could have gotten a better price but I didn't get my tickets until a month before the show and I had to get good seats, what if it was their last tour or something? Anyway, I paid $400 and when they played their two or three new songs is when I went to the bathroom and to get more beer.
To each his own I guess, I think only over you is a great song, and in a great album, I can listen to mirage all the way through and not want to skip any songs.
I don't listen to any of the stuff they put out after Tango, except for The Dance, but that's just live greatest hits. And "as long as you follow" I love that song. And I really hate that Lindsey didn't do the Tango tour back in 87, those tour videos would be so much better with Lindsey instead of those other two guys. Damnit Lindsey why didn't you wait until after the tour to quit. Lol
