must do songs - just 7? or 10? 12? or?

if you can fill 2-3 LB deep cuts and 2-3 SN deep cuts then let's go people, let's propose some interesting songs to fill these slots!

Adventurous is great - but it's not realistic.

if we are all resigned from the get-go then sure, why wouldn't they just roll with those lowered expectations.

Because everybody's been a fan for a long time & know what to expect. I believe they will deliver, but it will be one or two surprises/changes. I remember in 2009 how we all let out a collective gasp at Storms being played live. It made it so special- and that's what they will go for. The subtle tweaks for the diehards, the mother set for the majority of the ticket holders. They are playing for those people - not us.

Probably a better shot at that though than discussing a set list with Christine. No harm in putting some ideas in their heads if they have interns trolling the boards here.

debbie downer!

i agree they are playing for general audience - and they keep saying 12 hits, we gave them even 13 on our lists (we are so generous ). that's for general audience. general audiences never expect to know every. single. song.

2 surprise changes is not what i call delivering. it's a freaking letdown.

both Stevie and Lindsey were more adventurous than that on their most recent solo tours, so why wouldn't that carry over?

I hope to God you're right! I will faint!

Fine. Then tonight I will play. I will give y'all MY dream FM set list & hope Karen will print it out and give it to them at rehearsal.

rehearsals start mid-feb so we still have about a week to compile some good suggestion lists for them

(see this is why Lindsey hates me . i do this kind of thing at almost every one of his live shows i go to . choices Linds, choices!)

actually, since this thread is on must-dos, for clarity sake maybe we should start another thread for people to propose 6 deep cuts they'd want to hear - 3 from LB and 3 from SN.
