Stevie quote from the article...
Of the 22 songs Fleetwood Mac will play during a concert, 11 will be hits, such as "Dreams," "Don't Stop" and "Hold Me," Nicks said

Huh, is she serious? Only half of the setlist will be "hits"...

lol-ing at the comment from some guy saying she shouldn't be posted about on a catholic website since she's a witch. Evidently he didn't get the "I'm not a witch, get a life" memo.

thx for posting....until they sing it (Hold me) I don't believe a word Stevie says.

[I'msoAfraid95]

I doubt that only half will be hits, more like 3/4 or more.
I am shocked that this was posted on a Catholic site because of the myths(which aren`t true of course) about Stevie and witchcraft.

Once again, there is no direct quote there from Stevie that the band will be playing "Hold Me." The author of the article speculated that the 11 "hits" that Stevie said they'd be playing, would include songs like "Dreams," "Don't Stop" and "Hold Me."

That is how songs are written, stories are told, rumours are started, fans are disappointed....

lol. She was raised Episcopalian and went to a catholic high school. Go figure Stevie leaks the set list on a catholic site well one song Hold Me which hasn't been done since 1982 live. I am catholic myself and I did a search engine for an article and this was not the article I was looking for,but this was like the first article to pop up. I just love the title to the article.I figure had to send post it here.This tour is a maybe for me unfortunately the show that is closest to me is one of the high priced shows but will see how money and ticket availabilty will be in a few weeks or as it gets closer to the show.

Bye, It’s Over (Over and Over)

Fleetwood Mac and New Kids on the Block Show Up Again


By JON CARAMANICA, Published: February 22, 2013


It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday. No, honestly — it’s practically impossible, especially in an age of cyclical nostalgia and Internet-assisted memories. Old musical acts have always gone on comeback tours, but these days the disappearances are getting shorter and nostalgia is fully taking its place alongside discovery as a valid aesthetic-appreciation strategy. Why listen to the new bands that sound like the old bands when the old bands will be back before you know it?

New Kids on the Block are returning, again, just in time to glower at One Direction and the Wanted and to make a play for the parents of those groups’ fans. The New Kids have a new album, “10,” due out in April, but that violates one of the core rules of comebacks: Don’t dilute the memories. The group should know better. It’s been through a couple of comebacks already. To sweeten the New Kids’ forthcoming tour — menacingly called “The Package” — it will be joined by 98 Degrees, a boy band it clearly fathered, and Boyz II Men, a post-boy band that it predated but probably aspired to be. The three groups invade Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y., on June 1; the Izod Center in East Rutherford, N.J., on June 13; and the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on June 16.

Whatever intra-group conflicts the New Kids may have had to overcome in order to hit the road successfully and shake down long-loyal fans, they pale in comparison with what’s driven Fleetwood Mac to ruin time and again. Its reunion shows can be prickly affairs, depending on whether Stevie and Lindsey are on amenable terms or only barely able to share airspace. Every few years the band members huddle back up to test the waters and themselves; this time there’s a juicy deluxe edition of “Rumours” to flog. Feel the old tensions, and maybe some new ones, at Madison Square Garden on April 8; the Prudential Center in Newark on April 24; and the Nikon at Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, N.Y., on June 22

Fleetwood Mac and New Kids on the Block are both like party guests you see walk out the door and who then hide out in your garage, waiting to surprise you with their unexpected permanence. Swedish House Mafia, a cobbled-together supergroup of arena-dance heroes, is insisting on a different ending. The trio — Axwell, Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso — is splitting after a few years of reshaping the scale of the global dance music takeover to return to their modest lives as individual dance-music superstars. “One Last Tour” this jaunt is called. It plays the Hammerstein Ballroom on Feb. 28 (a charity event called “The Black Tie Rave”); Madison Square Garden on March 1; and then three nights, March 2 to 4, at the Barclays Center. After that a few more dates in Los Angeles and Miami and then, they swear, the end. As if.
