And there are a couple of shows we have recordings of from the beginning of the tour with
Don't Stop, like Oklahoma City & Little Rock.
About the members agreeing on track lists for albums: Stevie Nicks is the only one I can remember who, in interviews over the years, ever complained about specific songs not being included on the Fleetwood Mac albums (or being neglected by the band for too many years before finally being recorded).
I remember her complaining a bit about why it took Fleetwood Mac so long to record
That's Alright in her 1982 interview with Jim Ladd. In the interview, Mick said it was a great song, & Stevie said that "We always wanted to record it, but I don't know why we never did."
We all know about
Silver Springs, but that was a special case pertaining to track length rather than a case of the rest of the band's deciding for some artistic reason not to include it.
Other songs she has mentioned in print or on radio, like
What Has Rock & Roll Ever Done for You? or
Smile at You, were described by her as having been band decisions to bypass. (For
Smile at You, for example, Stevie said "It's not really where we're at" -- referring to the song's bitterness.)
I can't recall instances of any of the others complaining that any of their songs weren't recorded & released. Of course, that could all be a direct function of Stevie's relative lack of involvement & attendance during studio time.
