setlist for FM Live 2013 (picked by the ledge)

[redbird]

I'm so easy. When it comes right down to it I'd take anything they'd give me as long as I could get "Angel".

(That said I still want all the other songs I voted for.)

Anyway, I didn't know where to fit the two new songs in, so I didn't include them on my list... if you do include the two new songs, it's 25 songs. This will never happen (I turfed *gasp* Dreams, Stand Back, So Afraid, among some others), though it's quite Rumours heavy on the bookends, so I think it would go over well with the casual fan.

Second Hand News
I Don't Want to Know
The Ledge
Gold Dust Woman
Tango in the Night
Angel
Bleed to Love Her
Everybody Finds Out
Silver Springs
Big Love
Landslide
Walk a Thin Line
Soldier's Angel
That's Alright
Hold Me
Tusk (and I would re-work it to include the drum solo)
Sisters of the Moon
Oh Well
Rhiannon
Go Your Own Way
The Chain
Don't Stop
Frozen Love

i think i could live with your list although some of your choices wouldn't be my first... but definitely not as predictable as FM usual list!

so you have 8 LB songs, 10 SN songs (including 1 solo), 1 PG, 1 BN, 2 CM song. not exactly balanced but i would be really happy to hear many of your choices (The Ledge, Hold me, Sisters, Angel, BTLH, and most of all WATL!).

when it comes right down to it, i'm probably just as easy as you - just give me Walk A Thin Line!

i have to hope that all the pessimists are at least partially wrong, and the we will NOT hear again Monday Morning, World Turning or Stand Back, perhaps even replace Silver Spring or Gypsy with something else; and that we will never have to hear solo song like Trouble in FM set. and that it will not be only 22 songs in the set.

I wasn't being all that pessimistic about the list I came up with...and for the rest of you I only said it was my guess...because didn't we get the same speech about the Unleashed tour and how awesome it was going to be and then we saw the set list and they only added on a couple of gems?

I guess I choose not to stick my head in the sand and believe that the Mac is going to shock and awe on this tour. I would still go see them regardless of the set list.

And if my list is wrong - I will eat Chiffon Salads for the rest of this year

anyway, there is a separate thread somewhere for the list like yours - what people predict will happen. this thread here has been originally put together to counter-weigh that other prediction thread by being unabashedly unrealistic.

not that the list i pasted above as The Ledge setlist is REALLY unrealistic, it is actually based on what band members were saying about the setlist possibilities in the last 2 months.

however we know FM's old conservative stuck-in-the-mud nature, or at least that's what everybody's telling me their behavior is regarding setlists on their tours.

Fair dues

I personally would like to see Lindsey do Empire State - I've always liked that song and I know he'd rip the guitar at the end. Stevie would have good backup vocal range for that too.

As for Stevie - hmm - I think it would be cool if they did Smile At You but converted it back to the rock version like we heard in the demos. Quite a stretch, I know, but it would be kinda cool to see. I guess my most realistic view would be Angel - but she'd probably have to do it in the original key of the song and not the higher key that she usually does live on stage.

As for anything BN related - I would LOVE to hear Long Distance Winner. They could totally pull that off.

Oh yes - that would be great! I haven't even thought about "Long Distance Winner" until now - a great choice. I would love it!

they mentioned:

• about 12-13 must-do songs
• 3 new songs
• 1 BN song
• 1 solo song each from LB and SN
• that all would add up to ~19 songs which would leave space for between 4 and 6 deep cuts (depending on which other often-performed and/or pre-rumours songs make the set).

we had several separate threads either voting or suggesting solo, BN, and must-do songs, plus a thread with a lot of good suggestions for 3 deep cuts from SN and 3 deep cuts from LB.

from all those threads, one can piece together a ledge-suggested setlist, that would go somewhat like this (not in order):

6 deep cuts:
The Ledge
Tango in the Night
What Makes You Think You're the One
Sisters of the Moon
Angel
That's Alright

2 solo songs:
That’s The Way Love Goes or Rock Away Blind
You May Be The One or Soldier’s Angel

7 must-do songs:
Rhiannon
Go Your Own Way
Landslide
I'm So Afraid
Big Love
Dreams
The Chain
Don’t Stop

6 probable must-do songs:
Gypsy
Tusk
Second Hand News
Never Going Back Again
Gold Dust Woman
Silver Springs

BN song:
Frozen Love

3 new songs:
Without You
Sad Angel
Miss Fantasy

all together 26.

so now we know one of our selected deep cuts made it to the setlist!

[SpyNote]

Here's my prediction.

1. The Chain
2. Dreams
3. Eyes of the World
4. Second Hand News
5. Miranda
6. Gold Dust Woman
7. Never Going Back Again
8. Angel
9. Rhiannon
10. Big Love
11. I’m So Afraid
12. Gypsy
13. Without You
14. Miss Fantasy
15. Sara
16. Sad Angel
17. Soldier’s Angel
18. Landslide
19. Stand Back
20. Tusk
21. Go Your Own Way
22. World Turning
23. Sisters of the Moon
24. Don’t Stop

“Angel” and “Miss Fantasy,” and will be dropped by the fourth show.

just 1 deep cut from each songwriter? your are not very optimistic, you are basically saying good news stops right now with that SOTM announcement, and that will be it.


EDIT: i think and hope you are wrong and they will not do Eyes. or Sara. or World Turning. or SA. or SB. or Without You.
actually you have 2 deep cuts and 2 solo songs from SN and just 1 deep cut and no solo songs from LB. that will not work.

I pieced it together based on what the band has said in interviews and set lists they've actually used in the past. I hope it's more varied than what I have listed, but adding three new songs (Without You, Sad Angel, Miss Fantasy) is actually quite radical for Fleetwood Mac these days. I think the set will naturally be heavy with Rumours songs because the reissue is driving this tour. Tusk songs will get attention because of how well they were received on the last two tours and how vocal fans have been about wanting to hear more of the album, hence Sisters of the Moon being added. Stand Back has been in every solo set list since 1983 and every Mac set list (in which Stevie was part of the band) since 1987. It's going to be played. My dark horse pick is Miranda, which probably won't get played, but something from SYW will, given how proud Lindsey is of those songs.

see but band's been saying this tour will be different, and full of deep cuts, unlike the last one. you are not the only one who says there's no reason to believe them, and that they will basically just do a 1 deep cut per songwriter kinda like they did last tour when they did Storms and IKINW.

on every tour where they were promoting new release they were doing what? 6-8 new songs? so if they have just 2 or 3 new songs out i really don't see it as radical at all to actually add those songs to the set - as they were saying they will for months now.

i say band is bs-ing us if they will do a list like you and others are predicting.

also, SN said a month ago they will do only 22 songs, and everybody told me i'm crazy calling for 26. now she came out with 24 songs and one of her deep cuts. so i call it a great start and it better not stop there for all the money they are charging.

i keep saying this, and so i will once again: i created this thread for fans to provide unrealistic wish lists, not realistic or pessimistic predictions.

Oh, I wasn't being pessimistic. I don't find anything wrong with the set list I posted. If Mac performs three new songs, that's a good thing. Until April 4 passes, we won't actually know what "realistic" is

oh ok. so that's you wish list, i misunderstood when i first saw it.

if Mac performs 3 new songs, 4-6 "deep cuts" plus drops some of the stale ole songs, and performs 1 fresh solo song each from their respective 2011 albums, than *i* will consider that a good thing. but i'm more radical than most.

plus they should do at least 26 songs.
