I've always thought it sounded a bit like filler, to be honest. However, I do like the sentiments the song is conveying, though. This tour would seem like a very appropriate time to resurrect the song, with the 5th firefly returning & John's ailing health.
Regarding it replacing Stand Back in the set... I just don't know. I get the contention that a solo song should not be in the Mac set, and fully agree with that assertion. That being said, Stand Back is one of the few songs left in the setlist that is really high energy, and gets people to their feet. If I had my way, Fireflies would replace something tired, like Landslide... or Rhiannon, which is just plain awful these days. However, neither of these will happen. And I don't really want Fireflies to replace Gold Dust Woman, Dreams, or Gypsy... so I'm not sure where it would find a home.
