I agree that it's dancy, but any song could be dancy if reimagined and performed that way. For that matter, they might as well perform the Deep Dish version of Dreams.

I love Stand Back, and don't mind hearing it. I'm just playing devil's advocate, which comes naturally to me, due to my Libra Moon.

I think you are reading me wrong...it's not about "synthy beats" or Stand Back at all (believe me, no SB kool aid here)....but the second last song of the main set is not the place for Running Through the Garden, Love is Dangerous, Freedom or Paper Doll. It would flop big time. Go Your Own Way closes the set for a reason, the band sees it as the perfect end, everyone knows it, has a great beat, and a killer ending solo where Lindsey, and to some extent Stevie, can run around the stage. IMO, the band uses Stand Back as Stevie's answer to a GYOW type of song. There are other Fleetwood Mac songs of hers that COULD work there, but none of the ones that were listed. Of Stevie's "big" FM songs, I really could only see Rhiannon or Silver Springs in that spot....and to be fair, both of them would have to be amped up a bit to work. That part of the set is basically the final stretch of the race, it needs to be an iconic, well known song.
