I understand Fleetwood Mac's reasons for playing the same show night after night. There's so much production involved (pre-recorded tracks, lighting, canned banter etc.). I don't particularly like it, but nobody asked me.
What I wish they would do is prepare two shows instead of just one. Each show would consist of 25 songs and begin with "The Chain" and end with "Songbird." However, the intermediate 23 songs would be entirely different. One night we'd get "Little Lies." The next night we'd get "Everywhere." One night "Sisters of the Moon." The next, "Seven Wonders." You get the picture.
There'd be room for some deep cuts, and maybe a solo track or two, if the heaviest hits were spaced out this way, too.
They'd be going on stage and someone would ask: "Which show tonight?" Mick would say: "The B show!"
And wouldn't it be more interesting for the musicians, too? They must get really bored playing the same show night after night.
