No Hit Wonders Tour

Montclare · #1 11-25-2014, 09:54 PM

Let's say the band went insane and decided to do a tour where they did all different songs- no Rhiannon, no Go Your Own Way, no Don't Stop. What would your set list look like? Only rule is that it has to be songs that haven't been set list regulars this century; feel free to use pre-Buckingham Nicks Fleetwood Mac songs and pre-Fleetwood Mac Buckingham Nicks songs.

Mine-

Lindsey-
Don't Let Me Down Again
Lola
Blue Letter
Monday Morning
The Ledge
That's Enough for Me
Empire State
Book of Love

Stevie-
Long Distance Winner
Races Are Run
Sorcerer
I Don't Want to Know
Angel
Fireflies
That's Alright
Thrown Down

Christine-
Spare Me A Little
Why
Over and Over
Never Make Me Cry
Brown Eyes
Hold Me
Love in Store
Temporary One

Encore-
Frozen Love
Farmer's Daughter

You listed Monday Mornng twice. I'd get rid of Empire State and add Without a Leg to Stand On and Steal Your Heart Away. So many of these songs are absolutely brilliant. I'd love to hear them!

wow. i have a huge list of LB songs that i would love to hear live. although mostly solo there are definitely a good number of his FM ones. mostly songs from my 2 favorite FM albums, Tusk and SYW, that he hardly ever performed beyond initial album tours. i'll start with 3 from each album:

Walk a thin line
What makes you think you're the one
The ledge
Red rover
Murrow
Steal your heart away (although i like Come or BTLH much more, but i heard those 2 songs a lot on his last solo tour)

for SN, i'd like to hear Destiny Rules and Angel.

for CM, i want Think about me, really bad. and Hold Me might be a hit, but considering how rarely they perform it live, might as well be a deep cut.

i find it interesting how most lists above consist of really old songs...

This is the most unlikely thing ever, but a fun discussion. The only song that pops in my head immediately is That's Alright. A live version would be so awesome. Even more awesome if they did it back in 1982. It's such a great and very underrated song. I always thought it was too short also, there could have been a nice little instrumental between the two verses and they could have sang the chorus twice at the end of the song. They could have cut out Oh Diane to make room. Which is a catchy song but I think it's the weakest song on the album. That's Alright is very Fleetwood Mac and would have sounded great live. Everyone's instrument is very prominent, the harmonies on the chorus - very signature FM.

Eyes Of The World was performed on the 2013 tour, Storms was performed on the 2009 tour, and I think Beautiful Child was performed during the Say You Will tour. All great songs, and I'd love to hear them live again. I'll have to come up with my list later today.

I guess it depends on how one defines "set list regulars from the 21st century." It's pretty subjective.

For me, a I consider a "regular" to be a song that was performed for 2 or more consecutive tours.

For instance, Sara was performed on the second half of the Say You Will tour, and was also featured on the Unleashed tour. Sisters of the Moon was on the 2013 tour and the On With The Show tour. I consider both of these to now be regulars.

On the other hand, Eyes Of The World was performed on the Say You Will tour and the 2013 tour, but not on the Unleashed or On With The Show tours. Since there was a decade long gap in between it's presence in the setlist, I'm not sure it qualifies as a regular in my mind. Maybe I'm overthinking all of this, though.

That's Alright would be swell, but I think the length is perfect. It's a country song, for all intents and purposes.

But I'd have to disagree about Oh Diane. Empire State is the weakest song on Mirage - it fits better on a Lindsey solo album. Oh Diane is an emulation of sixties/late fifties pop tunes - that's why I like it so much, at least.

I'll make my list soon.

And You and I Part 1.

True, but like Elle said, they never play them, so you wouldn't even think they were hits (in the band's mind). I don't really consider LIS to be a big hit since you never hear it on the radio. It may have charted, but that's the last anyone heard of it. First time I heard it was watching the Mirage tour on Youtube.

You know what is funny. I was in line at my grocery store (Publix in Florida) and Love in Store came on the store's music speakers 2 weeks ago. I was so impressed!

Love in Store peaked at #22 I believe. It would have been a bigger hit but there was no video to play on MTV and this was peak MTV time. In 1982 I constantly heard it on the radio and would have thought it peaked higher than #22. But a top 20 hit is a fairly big hit IMHO
