Dress Rehearsal Set List

[Miranda]

Although I would change a lot for my own tastes I know there are songs they've gota do for mainstream fans. The only changes that can help, not hurt, are getting rid of Stand Back in favor of any new Stevie song, or an older one of equal value like Sisters of the Moon. Everybody always loves that one live. Also, I think it's a mistake to do Tusk without Chris on accordian. Without her vocals on Dont Stop, it's a waste of time and a possible clinker at the end of an otherwise good show. I'd ditch that too, in favor of anything else. I'd suggest closing with Songbird if they want to pay tribute. Stevie and Lindsey should try it together and see if they can pull it off. If they can cut it on the vocals with Brett on piano I'd love to see the show end that way. I don't know if I can deal with Goodbye Baby without leaving the show bawling. I can live with the rest of the list. I wish they were doing my song. Why no Miranda? Boo-hoo!

you know i havn't seen the mac or stevie solo since 1997 (my TISL show got cacnelled) so im darn glad they are going to do Rhiannon, dreams, and stand back. It's not my fault other people saw them multiple times on the TISL tour or whatever. Don't forget about other die hard mac fans who havn't been able to catch stevie solo or the mac in quite a long time.

or EVER I can't tell you HOW PUMPED i was for September 12th Al. Those terrorists destroyed my life and made me emotionally dead for a few months after. Hearing Illume made me feel a hell of a lot better, And only after seeing stevie/or the mac will ibe completely better.

I think the setlist is good - and frankly it's much better than I expected. If I had to pick one to get rid of it'd be DON'T STOP! I hate that song and now that Christine isn't here, why bother with it? Can't wait for Come, RTTG & Beautiful Child though. I'm also hoping for an acoustic version of Gypsy, which I think is likely. Also, I REALLY hope that Eyes of the World sounds like the Mirage video version.

[Mad4stevie]

I"ll give the setlist a B+. Great to see RTTG, Beautiful Child, and Eyes of the World, but where the heck is Thrown Down?!? They have to do this one!! I am thrilled that they are doing Silver Springs and Goodbye Baby!!

I am surprised that Come was done live. I am not sure how well that will go over at the concert (just too weird, for me at least). I am glad that Red Rover wasn't included (here's hoping they keep that one out of the setlist).

[golddust]

~~~For the most part I'm happy with the set list. Will we ever hear Sara again? What about Thrown Down? There are alot of songs and my concern is that some will be dropped as the concerts proceed. It concerns me that it was mentioned that Stevie was tired!!! Maybe she justs needs time to adjust. Anyhow I'm looking forward to hearing as many songs as they can possibly do.~~~

[gypsysara]

Wow what an amazing setlist! I wish I could have been there, wow, that is amazing. For me, even though its same ol on hearing some of those songs, it still thrills me nonetheless. I ended up feeling sick so I stayed back home instead of risking not getting in. Im really looking forward to seeing them this summer... wow!

[rianbay1]

I'm actually really excited that "Stand Back" is in the set. It always gets the crowd on it's feet and I've never seen Stevie NOT be into it. If I had got to tade one of Stevie's songs in this set, it would be Gypsy for Sisters of the moon. Gypsy wasn't exciting on the dance and i can't imagine it being that exciting now (UNLESS they do it acoustic like the AHI benifit). Also, wish Eyes of the world were replaced with Second hand news.

Thanks for posting=:-)

I am happy about EOTW-one of my favorites-Beautiful Child and Goodbye Baby but I was hoping they'd do Sisters of the Moon this time, and I'm sorry Thrown Down didn't make it...

Get over it with "Stand Back"...it's been a Fleetwood Mac concert STAPLE since 1987 (well...the tours that included Stevie, that is). It even was RELEASED on a Fleetwood Mac album (the Chain box). So, let go of the stigma that it is a "Stevie solo song". It is now (and probably forever) a Fleetwood Mac song.

[John Run]

Thanks Chili-My thoughts exactly.

[jmn3]

All the fuss about the setlist...puh-leez...how many new songs played...eight!?!? EIGHT!? Has FM (since '75) ever played that many new songs in a concert?!? I couldn't be more happy with the set! There is a lot of new songs (as opposed to the three or four we should expect with the history of this band) and there are the classics which will never go away (The Chain, Dreams, GYOW, Rhiannon, Don't Stop).

And yeh, as for Stand Back, I could do without it. It easily could be replaced with Everybody Finds Out (which I personally find to be one of Stevie's best recordings in years), or with any number of old Mac tunes or B/N stuff. But it's in there, and it has been in the set with Stevie since '87, so it's probably not going anywhere.

[Nicks Fan]

This set list is only ok. I want SEVEN WONDERS !!!!!!!!! Where is Thrown Down? Sara? (Guess we will never be hearing it again) Storms? Some of the songs I could do without (World Turning, Eyes of The World,I'm So Afraid, Say Goodbye) Red Rover would be a welcome addition. Oh well we can't please everyone.
Stand Back has got to go. If Stevie wanted to do a solo song do Touched By An Angel or Everyday.

[Rumours]

Ok here we go........

Eyes of the World - Happy with this.

The Chain - Not bad.....the chain has been broken though, it's missin' a link there, can't get past that...

Dreams - This just HAS to be there, it may be old, folks may be sick of it, but we've all got to hear it.....only #1 they had....good, classic song.

Peacekeeper - Yeah!! Love is the sweet surprise!

Say You Will - Yeah again!!

Never Going Back Again - I love this one! Very good!!!!

Rhiannon - Put her to rest!! Let her stop ringing, ruling and flying.... put Everybody Finds Out in there, in place of this one, and kick it's little ass!!

Gypsy - This had better be the acoustic version! Would love to see that live! If it's not, scrap it......for like, Sisters of the Moon.

Come - Nice

Running Through the Garden - I don't know about this one. It's kinda draggy & rambling in the wording. If they're going for a new song here, maybe Illume, nice 9-11 tribute......I think I'd even like Thrown Down.......if they're going for an old song, maybe Storms.

Big Love - Tired of the acoustic version....I agree, play it with the whole band.

Landslide - Gotta be there!

Say Goodbye - Should be interesting....kinda fast wording.....wonder how well they can keep up with each other!! LOL

What's the World Coming To - Yippie-alright!!!

Destiny Rules - This one's pretty good too.

Beautiful Child - SWEET JESUS!!!!!!! They ARE going to do this one! Alright!!!!!

Gold Dust Woman - Glad to see this one still around.

I'm So Afraid - Aw yeah!!!!

Silver Springs - Another must-have! Yes!!!!!

Tusk - Eh, can take it or leave it......how about Murrow......or Monday Morning.....

Stand Back - As much as I hate to see this solo song in a Fleetwood Mac setlist where it really doesn't belong, I can't help but love this song and it's energy! This is a dancer! I'm going to enjoy it even though I don't want to!! LOL

Go Your Own Way - Great one!

Encore:
World Turning/Mick solo - World Turning is fine, no problem with that.......somebody stop Mick from slapping that vest for what seems to be an endless period of time......NO solo!!!

Don't Stop - No, Please, STOP......Christine isn't there anymore, don't do this one.

Second Encore:
Goodbye Baby - Don't know what I think about this one. It's good. In some ways I think it would be a good closer, but in some ways I think it'll make everybody too sad, ending the night with this. So, no comment!!

Why oh why is practically everybody hoping for Red Rover? Goodness no!! Keep it out of the setlist!!!! I'd rather hear Steal Your Heart Away! Or Murrow....wait, I said that one already. Anything! But Red Rover!!????

I don't think ending the show with Songbird as a tribute to Christine is a good idea.....the woman's just retired, not dead (heaven forbid!).
