Hey, I never said it wasn't a Rumours friendly set! All I asked was whether the new fans responded well to the old numbers, that is all. I asked this simply because I've seen so-called fans react badly to new Stevie and Lindsey songs, so I can't imagine how they would react to old blues numbers if they can't handle that!

I think in general the crowds did just fine with "I Loved Another Woman," "Stop Messin' Round," etc. Sure, there's the usual constant dribbling of people in & out going on throughout the show, but that happens even during "The Chain." I saw many "Tango" & "Mask" shows & didn't notice any problem with any song in the set. Aside from the major fans, Fleetwood Mac audiences don't get so passionately worked up over the set list anyway. People come to hang out at an FM concert & just enjoy themselves; I don't think the mob cares all that much whether Mac plays "Gold Dust Woman" instead of "Rhiannon," or substitutes "I Loved Another Woman" for "Gypsy."
Fleetwood Mac worries overmuch about squeezing in all these hits every year, believing that otherwise hordes of people will ... what? riot? Ain't gonna happen, folks. All Mac has to do is just play a bunch of songs, & most of the crowd will go home content & smelling of beer.
