Idealy, I hope when they tour again they have new songs to perform, and they completey mix up the set list -- like having Dreams or The Chain at the end of set. Their predicatiblity has become fixed and monotanous. The element of surprise is practically nil!

If they feel the need to include some staple songs they've been performing for 20 years, at the very least, change the order to make it seemingly fresh.

And regarding Christine's songs, I think perfoming "Little Lies," "Brown Eyes," or "Hold Me" would be nice. These are songs that haven't been beatened down and overplayed through the years.

The idea of the mindset/desire to satisfy casual fans who might feel disappointed by the absence of particular songs like "Say You Love Me" or "Don't Stop" perplexes me. The die-hard fans are the ones they (and we) should be thinking about!!! They are an old band with long-time followers -- they don't have to placate and play a mass of casual /new fans --- just put on a good, fresh new show! Casual fans be dammed! If they truely like music and appreciate a great band...A good show is a good show....whatever is performed. It shouldn't be a fu*king juke box....where people expect that that certain songs HAVE to be performed.

If Fleetwood Mac decided to ditch all of their played-to-death material in favor of a bunch of new songs, covers, and deep album tracks...that's the show I'd want to see!!
