And that is my biggest gripe about The Dance tour. Lindsey gave the same speech every night about "cycles', "inner demons" and "isn't that weird". And it was the same set of songs every night.
This band has
such a rich history and catalog to choose from, I don't understand why they don't take more chances with the setlist. (And really, how
"risky" is it to tamper with a few songs every night? I hate to chalk it up to laziness, but I'm afraid that's what it is.)
They could pull out solo hits, obscure White Album-Tusk-Mirage-Tango hits, classic FM (Hypnotized, Green Manalishi), or Buckingham Nicks stuff on this next tour. They could do different songs every night for a month.
At this point in their career - and let's face it, this is the twilight of Fleetwood Mac as a touring band - why not go for it and
play Storms, Long Distance Winner, Tango In The Night and Book Of Love. They should also shower us with each of the new songs from Say You Will over the course of the tour at least once. I would rather hear them attempt to bring Beautiful Child to life on stage - successful or not - than hear yet another half-hearted version of Rhiannon.
I say they use this tour to go out with a bang and leave us breathless.
