We all knew all the words to sad angel within a day. All concert reviews commented on that at the time. Why wouldn't you as a fan?

How does one see a song?

Why not sit at home in your best armchair, put a live CD on and close your eyes...for free.

When I go to a concert (and pay hundreds of dollars*) I want to see and hear something new. The last tour was lovely for Christine's presence but still stale. By the time I get to a new show I really hope I've had a chance to listen to a new album to death and know the words to some new music.
...and if people have to take toilet breaks... bugger them.

I read a few reviews that in other countries, they added Think About Me to the set shortly after the Tusk reissue was released. I would love to see a tour with 12 or more songs from Tusk, and the rerelease would have been the perfect time, since they were already touring.

I understand about hearing the same songs over and over again- Dreams, Rhiannon, and Gold Dust Woman especially because Stevie does them solo and with FM, but I know she's not gonna leave them out. I was happy that she added Seven Wonders this time.

I would be okay with other old songs that they haven't played live in a long time or ever. For example: That's Alright, Only Over You, Why, Over & Over, Save Me a Place, Walk a Thin Line, Frozen Love, just nothing written after 1987.

Unfortunately, it's this mindset that the band appears to pander to these days. I would pay good money to see this band perform new music. Instead, if I saw them again, I'd hear Dreams, Don't Stop, Big Love, and about fifteen other songs for the gazillionth time.

UTS was a fun concert for me, when it started before the album was out. Lindsey started talking about the album and I said, "but it's not out yet" and he laughed and repeated after me "but it's not out yet." But what a thrill to wach him perform sings I didn't yet know. It was like having gifts presented and unwrapped on stage.

And the long time people here who actually saw them perform GYOW and the like a year before the album came out witnessed history. Michele

what a thrill!

beside Sad Angel which we got to hear for the first time ever live, before EP came out, we also experienced 6 new LB songs from Seeds album about 5 months before album came out' we never heard any of them before and didn't even know the titles like we did for Sad Angel. it's still so exciting, thinking back on it!

...and thats what live music should be about; Hearing stuff you love and are familiar with but interspersed with exciting new stuff- 'wow, never heard this before but it sounds great'.

Loved it! I'm so glad he came out of hiding after The Dance. All that great new ( and not so new) music he released.

I can remember the buzz surrounding Sad Angel when it was first played live. I saw them do it live in 2013 and it went down really well with everyone. I would be slightly reluctant to see them again if it was just another greatest hits tour but if they included some new songs from an upcoming album like they did in 2013 then I would definitely see them for the third time in 4 years.

I think most of us here are in the same boat.We are tired of paying good money on inflated tix which should be only $79.00 max for greatest hits tours like other bands charge..I slacked down on their last tour to just two local shows .I usually hit 5 or 6 shows.

Honestly, I thought the 2013 setlist was pretty good, and the 2009 setlist was even better. Storms, Go Insane, then Without You, Sad Angel, Say Goodbye.. Just enough older stuff but also some interesting things too.

I think because Chris had been gone for so long, they sort of had to an oldies tour, just to get the gears going, and because Chris' songs hadn't been played live in almost 20 years. I suspect the next tour setlist is going to be far superior to the last one.

Those two tours were great.I agree .They had to do a rehash of the hits when Chris came back.

Stevie 2009

And you’re ready to jump into the studio as soon as this tour is over?

I would very much like to do that. I think the world should have one more kickass Fleetwood Mac record. This tour could go on for 135 shows, but when we come off the road we will be a finely tuned, well-rehearsed band, which is the best thing to be when you go into the studio because you’re already hot. Your chops are up, you’re singing great, you’ve been playing fantastic music for a year. And writing on the road is really fun. Not to mention that we already both have enough songs to do a record now. But it all depends on if we’re having fun and enjoying each other.
