I guess I was thinking of Chris' interview with Johnnie Walker about Songbird, just before they announced her return.
JW: And another song that often used to end Fleetwood Mac concerts was Songbird.
CM: (makes a kind of quiet laugh/exhale sort of sound). Yeah.
JW: Why do you react to that like that?
CM: Well, because I just felt that…. look, it became absolutely…part of the show that I had to go and do Sonbird at the end of the concert and I could never figure it out why couldn't we do it, sort of … second from last encore and then do… something rousing at the end. But they always thought it was great to end with that. But you could hear a pin drop when I sang that song and uh…. it just seemed to really move people to hear that at the very end. Seemed to calm people down, rather than get them pumped up. They would applaud and the whole band would come back on and bow. And people just left quietly coz it just seemed to be calming.
