Beautiful Child!?!?

I just saw this on Burnish.net :



Fleetwood Mac returns ready to serve up old, new

Fleetwood Mac is back.

The group, armed with the upcoming Say You Will, easily its best studio album in 24 years, brings its tour to Sunrise's Office Depot Center June 7.

The lineup includes singer-guitarist Lindsey Buckingham, singer Stevie Nicks, drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie. Expect a 2 ½-hour concert and some surprises. Since singer-keyboardist Christine McVie is gone, most of her songs will be retired. 'The songs we'll do of Chris' will be the ones we shared,'' Nicks says, suggesting Don't Stop, Tusk and You Make Loving Fun might make the set.

In addition to the new single, Peacekeeper, expect some older songs to make their first live appearance. ''I think we're going to do a version of Beautiful Child,'' Nicks says, referring to a 1979 ballad found on the Tusk LP. ``It's just the saddest song you have ever heard. It's working out, and I think it'll make the set. We're going back into our trunk of gazillions of songs and picking a few dark-horse Fleetwood Mac songs. We'll still do Rhiannon and Gold Dust Woman and Go Your Own Way and Monday Morning. The songs everyone will want to hear will be there.''

With some notable changes. ''One thing we can't do is open with The Chain again,'' Buckingham says, laughing.

Tickets for Fleetwood Mac are $126.50, $76.50 and $49.50 and go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday.

You know I never realised they'd have a problem singing the Chain - but it makes sense now I think of it!

Rhiannon returns AGAIN?? Sans Chris' harmonies and keyboard?? Didn't Stevie see our poll

[Gazza]

This may well be my fave Stevie song! What I really love about it, is that it features imo, the greatest Lindsey/Stevie harmony ever... The lines "I bite my lip, can you send me away" and "Your hands held mine... So few hours" send a shiver every time.

The fact those two sound so beautiful on a song that I think is about her relationship with Mick makes it even more fascinating.

I think they should close with The Chain - it's what's keeping them together afterall

Anyone think they should do some kind of Tusk medley?

[DownOnRodeo]

Yes Gazza! A medley is what I was thinking the 'something different' in the middle of the show might be. It would be so good because you get more songs crammed together, rather than the endless trailing off of fewer songs. I don't know if that's what you meant by medley but that's my wish - a whole bunch played in quick succession!

I wonder if they're not doing Hold Me becaase the chorus has that same ascending structure as Say You Will. Just a thought

[Gazza]

When I heard the "Something different" my immediate thought was a Tusk Medley.

Save Me A Place into the Ledge (fans go wild)... "Don't Make Me Wait"... Not That Funny.... I Know I'm Not Wrong... That's Enough For Me... Tusk!

However they'd do it, it would be a highlight I'm sure.

that they would consider "BC"....i never expected that!!! it's a great thing...i really hope they're thinking of including "sara"!!!

keep our fingers crossed!!!!

[Mad4stevie]

Oh - I liked "The Chain" as the opening song . . .

Wow - some dark-horse songs - can't wait to see what they are. I would totally love "Beautiful Child" and "Sara".

[John Run]

He didn't say they were not going to play the Chain, he just said they are not going to open with it.

Beautiful Child is probably my favorite Stevie Nicks penned song.

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

Beautiful child..... OMG!!!!

I think The Chain would be great to close with. I see a great FM tribute band and they always do an encore of Tusk and The Chain and it works excellently

God! I forgot What Makes You Think You're The One!

[Wldhrt315]

I am very pleased now! I thought that something unique would happen but 'Beautiful Child' never passed through my mind. This is great, I listen to BC very frequently. Cool beans!!!

[Janet]

Ok if reading the lyrics to Goodbye Baby didn't get me, the fact that BEAUTIFUL CHILD WILL BE ON THE TOUR !!! totally got me!

Im so excited!!!!!!!

This tour and all the money now is like totally worth it!! I'm going to have to bring tissues to this concert!

[EnchantedStorms]

OMG!! Yay!!! And lol, Janet, they better not do them both on tour, because someone will have to just cart me out of there when it's over.

This is just so exciting. I can't wait!
