^^ so unless i'm missing something (quite possible!), in 1997 they were doing 9 LB's, 8 SN's and 7 CM's tunes?? not exactly an equal distribution...

anyway, based on the above comparison and what i finally got through my thick head (i.e. Rumours-era FM setlists NEVER ever change and never will ) - it is unfortunately very easy to see what we'll hear on any future Rumours 5 tour:

Sweet Girl will be replaced by Sara, everything else will be exactly the same as during the dance.

since LB had 9 songs in 1997, his wings will be clipped down so he'll do 8 the most, and will not do GI (hasn't already this year) or MLD, and will replace these 2 with 1 song - NGBA (which he never skips anymore); and then he'll either add a brand new song or more probably we'll have Eyes again.

I have no personal experience with Christine's songs in the setlist... but looking at their other setlists with her... probably not much change there either.

I know it's a Rumours song and they feel morally bound to perform all of them -- except the shunned IDWTK (which maybe I can get Ryan Murphy to play on American Horror Story) -- but I would love to see Oh Daddy bite the concert dust.

Now, when it comes to rare songs they haven't played, it's easy to get a Tusk song in, past the censors. So, that's our best chance to have a different Christine song make its way into the setlist if it is from Tusk.

I've been thinking about a proposed set-list featuring Christine the last few days and whilst I'm also thrilled about her imminent return, I have concluded that it will essentially set the "greatest hits" routine in stone (with very little room for experimentation regarding rarely performed or new tracks).
If there were 25 songs performed (and we can't necessarily take this for granted), the split would most likely be 8 each plus The Chain (I'd love to see that replaced with The Farmer's Daughter but it seems unlikely). If this were to be the case, I just can't see them dispensing with the following:

Stevie:
Rhiannon
Landslide
Dreams
Gold Dust Woman
Silver Springs
Sara
Gypsy
Stand Back (surely someone will tell her at some point how inappropriate this track is for a Mac concert - maybe Christine has the balls?)

Christine:
Over My Head
Say You Love Me
World Turning
Don't Stop
Songbird
You Make Lovin' Fun
Oh Daddy
Everywhere

Christine's in the unique position whereupon she could easily trot the above tracks out and be forgiven due to her extended absence. However, I would dare to hope for the likes of Think About Me (or anything from Tusk), Hold Me and Little Lies (yes I think they should give this a shot with Lindsey replicating the studio arrangement).

Lindsey:
Monday Morning
I'm So Afraid
Second Hand News
Never Going Back Again
Go Your Own Way
Tusk
Big Love (I'm still holding out for the album version)
Sad Angel

Lindsey might remain a little more flexible than the others since only a few of his tracks were genuine "hits" and he is always more prone to changing things around. It would not be surprising for him to do the likes of Not That Funny, I Know I'm Not Wrong, Eyes Of The World or a selection from the Say You Will album. If I had my way, he'd just play all of his songs from the Tusk album and ditch the staples.

Therefore, I don't imagine we'll be treated to Fireflies, Warm Ways, Save Me A Place, Honey Hi, That's Alright, Book Of Love, Straight Back, Wish You Were Here, Seven Wonders, Tango In The Night, Isn't It Midnight or Thrown Down... more's the pity.

Considering they did 26 songs on "The Dance" tour, I think they could give each singer eight songs, plus count "The Chain" and "World Turning" as band songs. Since this isn't quit the big reunion, I'd like to see them take some daring chances in the set. There are about 14 songs they pretty much have to play, but that leaves twelve songs they can kind of go crazy with. Here are my choices:

Say You Love Me
The Chain
Dreams
Love Shines
Peacekeeper
Rhiannon
I'm So Afraid
Thrown Down
Book Of Love
Everywhere (actually, I'd rather have "I Do," but that'll never happen)
Sad Angel
Gold Dust Woman
Calumny
Big Love
Landslide
Get Like You Used To Be ("O.K. Ken?" version, with just Mick, John, and Christine playing)
Without You
World Turning
Steal Your Heart Away
Straight Back
Tusk
You Make Loving Fun
Go Your Own Way

Twisted
Don't Stop

Never Forget

You guys remember: even if there isn't an entire album, there will at the very least be another EP featuring songs with Christine on them. So, add two of those new songs into your setlists.

We don't know that for sure. It would be great, and easily possible, but it's not yet etched in stone.

It looks like Lindsey was trying to get another EP out, even if Christine hadn't returned. I can't imagine there not being one if she does, since the threshold for making it happen will have lowered substantially. Because all he'd have to do is get Chris to sing on it and she and Mick have said that she's written some songs herself, to add into the mix.

An EP (at the very least) is not etched in stone, but neither is her return. Yet.

the only thing i see stopping that is if John's health turns to worse.

Christine has not only written, but already recorded several songs (what did she say? 3? 5? can't remember and lazy to search). and we know MoM have also recorded additional 5. they just have to add each others' vocals, tweak them some, and they are done. Lindsey and Christine both want to put new songs out... the only thing that can stop that is band politics.

Another idea I had was to do a proper tour for "Tango In The Night," since they never really did that with Lindsey. But,they couldn't play anything that came after 1987:

Tango In The Night ->The Chain (i.e. the In The Back Of My Mind -> The Chain from 1990)
Say You Love Me
Dreams
Second Hand News
Gypsy
Everywhere
Seven Wonders
Caroline
Isn't It Midnight
Rhiannon
I'm So Afraid
Gold Dust Woman
Big Love
Landslide
Mystified
Family Man
World Turning
Little Lies
Sara
Tusk
You Make Loving Fun
Go Your Own Way

Stand Back
Don't Stop

You & I, pt II

Oh my goodness, be still my heart. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that idea. But then, any reason for all 5 of them to hold a concert is a blessing.

Not being too creative here, but practical. They have been doing the "35th Anniversary" tour of Rumours.

The 2013 setlist has been:

Second Hand News
The Chain
Dreams
Sad Angel
Rhiannon
Not That Funny
Tusk
Sisters of The Moon
Sara
Big Love
Landslide
Never Going Back
WithoutYou
Gypsy
Eyes of the World
Gold Dust Woman
So Afraid
Stand Back
Go Your Own Way
World Turning
Don't Stop
Silver Springs
Say Goodbye

Two Christine songs are currently being done - let's not count "The Chain"... "World Turning" (co-write with Lindsey) and "Don't Stop".

So, comparing the songs from the first two sets with Christine, Stevie & Lindsey (songs are listed in alpha order, not place in set with Christine's songs in BOLD):

WHITE TOUR 1975-1976
Blue Letter
Don't Let Me Down Again
Frozen Love
Get Like You Used to Be
Go Your Own Way
Green Manalishi
Homework
Hypnotized
I'm So Afraid
Landslide
Oh Well
Over My Head
Rhiannon
Silver Springs
Spare Me A Little
Station Man
Why
World in Harmony
World Turning

Five Christine songs were performed: "Get Like You Used to Be", "Over My Head", "Spare Me A Little", "Why" and "World Turning" (LB co-write)

RUMOURS TOUR 1977-1978
Believe Me
Blue Letter
Don't Stop
Dreams
Go Your Own Way
Gold Dust Woman
I'm So Afraid
Landslide
Monday Morning
Never Going Back
Oh Daddy
Oh Well
Over My Head
Rhiannon
Say You Love Me
Second Hand News
Songbird
Station Man
Tell Me All The Things You Do
The Chain
Why
World Turning
You Make Loving Fun

Nine Christine songs were performed: "Believe Me", "Don't Stop", "Oh Daddy", "Over My Head", "Say You Love Me", "Songbird", "Why", "World Turning" (LB co-write), and "You Make Loving Fun".

And, the last time Christine toured the set was like this - in performance order:

THE DANCE TOUR 1997
The Chain
Dreams
Everywhere
Gold Dust Woman
I'm So Afraid
Temporary One
Bleed To Love Her
Gypsy
Big Love
Go Insane
Landslide
Say You Love Me
Sweet Girl
You Make Loving Fun
My Little Demon
Stand Back
Oh Daddy
Not That Funny
Rhiannon
Second Hand News
Silver Springs
Tusk
Go Your Own Way
Don't Stop
Songbird
Farmer's Daughter

Seven Christine songs were performed: "Don't Stop", "Everywhere", "Oh Daddy", "Say You Love Me", "Songbird", "Temporary One", and "You Make Loving Fun".

2014 Set Prediction:

Say You Love Me
The Chain
Second Hand News
Dreams
Over My Head
Rhiannon
Not That Funny
Tusk
Sisters of The Moon
Oh Daddy
Sara
Big Love
Landslide
Never Going Back
Gypsy
Eyes of the World
Gold Dust Woman
You Make Loving Fun
I'm So Afraid
Stand Back
Go Your Own Way
World Turning
Don't Stop
Silver Springs
Songbird

I think they will drop "Without You", "Sad Angel", "Say Goodbye". I think "Sisters of the Moon" may go and/or "Eyes of the World" with the possible addition of one or two new songs, contingent on new material, since "Sad Angel" and "Without You" were new songs. Also, I think it's possible they may try to end with "Farmer's Daughter" although, I think it's more appropriate to let Christine close.

Personally, I hope they will go way back and surprise us with "Why", one of my favorites and also a perfect example of how the Buckingham Nicks & McVie harmonies came alive. Another great throwback - if Christine did "Get Like You Used to Be". I don't hold out hope for either of those, but for the sake of all things nostalgic it would be really cool.

I Don't Want To Know replacing Oh Daddy? You're off my Christmas card list.

Brown Eyes is probably my favorite Christine song, likely my favorite Fleetwood Mac song. But it was just DULL live. On the other hand, Over & Over really came to life onstage. I think I'd die if they dusted off Think About Me.

I'd rather they do almost any song in their repertoire than Oh Daddy.

Mmmm let me see...

- Don't Stop obviously
- Songbird, yes
- World Turning, maybe, but I think Stevie would sing with Christine, you know, maybe because she sang her part in the past tours...
- Over my Head, nice choice
- You make loving fun

I don't see Say You Love Me or any TITN or Tusk song in a possible setlist. We'll see...
Regards!
