New to the site and the forum. Been a fan of FM since I was about 7 years old or more or less the time that "Fleetwood Mac/Fleetwood Mac" aka "the white album" came out. That being said, I'm also a huge fan of the original Mac with Peter Green.
What I'd love to see, but know I never will, is Rick, Billy, and Bekka come back and have a "mini blues" set with some of the Peter Green material: Oh Well, Green Manalishi, I Loved Another Woman, Homework, Rattlesnake Shake. Possibly a couple of songs from "Behind The Mask" like "Stand On The Rock" and "When The Sun Goes Down". Bekka would be there to "fill in" for Christine (obviously she could never take Christine's place, but her voice sounds much closer to Christine's than Lindsey and Stevie trying to do certain songs.
Here's my votes for the set list (in no particular order)
The Chain, Dreams, Gold Dust Woman, Go Your Own Way, Don't Stop, Rhiannon, I'm So Afraid, Tusk, Say You Love Me, Blue Letter, Think About Me, Seven Wonders, Gypsy, Eyes Of The World, Peacekeeper, Bleed To Love Her, My Little Demon, Landslide, Say Your Will, Sisters Of The Moon, Sara, Come, Say Goodbye, Freedom, Twisted, Goodbye Baby, Beautiful Child, Stand Back, What's The World Coming To?, This Is The Times and World Turning.
I think we can forget hearing "Tango" since the solo is basically "I'm So Afraid". Why do 2 songs with the same guitar solo? Makes no sense. Unfortunately, I don't think there will be any "pre-Lindsey/Stevie" hits played on this tour, thus my suggestion for the Rick, Billy and Bekka addition that we all know won't happen.
As far as "World Turning" is concerned, let's not forget that this is "Fleetwood Mac", not "Buckingham Nicks". The band existed long before Lindsey and Stevie came along. Don't get me wrong, I love them both. Their addition to the band made it the mega-hit legendary rock band it is today, no doubt. But if they don't do "WT", where is Mick going to get his drum solo in? He's earned it. He deserves it. Let him have it. If not during "WT" then where? I'm open to suggestions.
As much as I love the Mac, if there isn't any new material on this tour, I don't know if I'll be going to the show in San Jose. $47 for nose-bleed section seems a little steep. To watch a 6'6" man look like he's 1" tall for that kind of money I just don't see as a good choice.
Anyway, that's my opinion.
"Then Play On"
