• 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.

Second Hand News
The Chain
Dreams
Miss Fantasy
Never Going Back Again
Rhiannon
Eyes of the World
Sad Angel
Big Love
Landslide
Without You
Silver Springs
I'm So Afraid
Gold Dust Woman
Soldier's Angel
Trouble
Tusk
Stand Back
Go Your Own Way
World Turning
Don't Stop
Encore: Sisters of the Moon

Of course at some point - the new songs will probably get dropped and replaced with a known song like Gypsy, Monday Morning, or Oh Well.

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.

So I put one together, and then I look at it and thought, I'm about as predictable as the band is! So, maybe I should complain less about their sets. 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!).

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!
