Setlist Speculation with Christine.

I hope you're right, but because they don't plan for the album to come out for such a long time, I doubt it. I know in the seventies they previewed songs that were going to be on the next album, but I don't think they're going to do songs that are 6 - 12 months away these days. I'd love it though, if they did.

Well, considering how "jazzed" they were about being together in the studio, I would THINK that they'd want to get those songs heard to start drumming interest in the new album, EP or whatever they release next. And, remember that "Bleed To Love Her", "Temporary One", "Sweet Girl" & "My Little Demon" were played with only ONE of those being on a subsequent studio album (6 years later). So, IF they never release anything again (other than maybe another live album), they'd want to have something new to perform.

This is my revised setlist!

1. World Turning
2. Second Hand News
3. Rhiannon
4. Brown Eyes
5. Say You Love Me
6. Angel
7. I’d Rather Go Blind/Oh Well
8. Without You
9. Little Lies
10. I Know I'm Not Wrong
11. Storms
12. I'm So Afraid
13. Everywhere
14. Gypsy
15. Save Me A Place
16. Tusk
17. You Make Lovin' Fun (Alternate Version)
18. Gold Dust Woman
19. Eyes of The World


Encore

1. The Chain
2. Landslide
3. Go Your Own Way
4. Don't Stop
5. Songbird

There's no doubt that World Turning would be an amazing way to reintroduce Christine to Fleetwood Mac touring. It should be performed in a similar fashion to the performance on The Midnight Special. Again, I bury The Chain and Landslide to make the list far more interesting. Without You is performed with Christine and the whole band to the front of the stage. The alternate version of You Make Lovin' Fun would be awesome - Christine and Stevie in a call-and-response affair.

We know the setlist will look something like this (in no order)

- Stand Back
- Songbird
- The Chain
- Say You Love Me
- Rhiannon
- World Turning
- So Afraid
- Dreams
- Don't Stop
- You Make Loving Fun
- Go Your Own Way
- Brown Eyes
- Sara
- Tusk
- Everywhere
- Little Lies
- Gypsy
- Seven Wonders
- New Song 1
- New Song 2
- Oh Daddy
- Second Hand News
- Silver Springs

[bethelblues]

Eyes of the World at the closer? Yikes! I could do without that one completely. Go Your Own Way will never leave its position. I think it's more likely that The Chain and Landslide would move--totally agree with you there. My encores would go in this order:

Encore 1
Don't Stop (the high of the band coming back out after Go Your Own Way)
Landslide

Encore 2
The Chain
Songbird

Though if Songbird doesn't close the show (as Christine ruminated), I wonder what would. Maybe Landslide? That would work great. Never have understood why they don't save that song for toward the very end.

I still don't know why people aren't including Brown Eyes + Oh Daddy, they're very likely based on tweets and band comments. My big question mark is whether they will include new songs or not. My last setlist was this (if Paul McCartney and Beyonce/Jay Z can do 40+ songs, FM can do at least 25):
Tusk
Say You Love Me
Dreams
Blue Letter
Little Lies
Seven Wonders
Tango in the Night (Lindsey Guitar Solo...but we all know it'll be So Afraid for the nth time)
Angel (or Sara, Chris hasn't played on it since 1979-80)
Brown Eyes
What Makes You Think You're The One (in all honesty, Lindsey has so many songs on Tusk he should just do a medley of 3-4 of them: add on The Ledge, Walk a Thin Line, and I Know I'm Not Wrong...it'd be fun!)
Beautiful Child
Love In Store

Acoustic
Big Love
Oh Daddy
Gypsy (Arizona benefit edition)
Crystal (for John)

Isn't It Midnight
Old FM Tribute medley (these songs are short): Albatross/Black Magic Woman (sung by Christine)/Oh Well
Why (this is a song they should've done at the Grammys with a Gospel choir and it would've been huge)
Gold Dust Woman
You Make Loving Fun
Second Hand News
Rhiannon
Go Your Own Way

...and my encores same as above.

They're not really "closing" with Eyes of the World per se, but it definitely is a fun tune. Christine doing the "ooh ooh ooh"s and the song ending like it does on Mirage - an emphatic point.

Also, World Turning *totally* works. Think about it: the crowd is going to go bonkers when Christine sings her first note, so why not do it at the beginning? "World turning...I've got my back on the ground..." (crowd freaks)

[bethelblues]

I didn't say anything about World Turning. I could totally see it as an opener...only it couldn't be as long as the encore version. It's fast, it gets people going, "I've got to get my feet back on the ground." That's fitting. I'd be much more for this than Monday Morning and Say You Love Me, both of which don't get close to the same adrenaline in the house. We know Say You Love Me will be like The Dance version (with or without the banjo); very adult contemporary-ish and will probably not rock (that isn't necessarily a bad thing).

26. Silver Springs

27. Songbird
28. Blue Letter

I like this. 28 songs shouldn't be too hard to ask for, right? Paul McCartney does 40+ and he's a solo act. It's not too far from my ideas (reposted in the above post). I just wouldn't have Blue Letter last, that's for sure. Maybe Landslide could go after Songbird? (Gasp! I could see it as a final song) And since Everywhere was done for The Dance, I'd love Isn't It Midnight instead. I put a few more obscure Tusk songs in (Angel and WMYTYTO and personal fav Beautiful Child), but Lindsey only whips out one of the same two deep cuts on an album in which he contributed like 10 songs, so you were probably closer with IKINW.

I like the idea of putting Landslide and The Chain in the encore, that would freshen things up a little. I'm not sure about World Turning as the opener though.

[Wdm6789]

I want them to open with Monday Morning.

[ViscountViktor]

Monday Morning didn't cut it for me as an opener.

I think Seven Wonders would be a great opener.

[WayOfTheDragon]

I'd really like to hear Isn't It Midnight in there somewhere. It's one of those high energy songs that could add energy towards the beginning of a concert (or near the end when they usually do a string of higher energy songs). It worked well in '87-'90 and hasn't been played live with Lindsey yet.

I agree - I think Monday Morning into The Chain was a great one, two punch.

But I also think Seven Wonders would make a great opener. However, I believe Say You Love Me or the Rumours tour version of Over My Head would make for great re-introductions of Christine

[Artemis]

Seven Wonders would be an amazing opener... but I doubt we're likely to get it at all. Unless I've missed something here.

Considering how popular it's been lately, I'd be especially surprised if they didn't sing Everywhere. I'd love to see Little Lies done live too.

It really would. It's got that mystical beginning that they could prolong to build excitement. It's uptempo, pretty well known with renewed interest, and has great harmonies. I would love it.

[FuzzyPlum]

Here goes;

1) Monday Morning
2) Say You Love Me
3) Seven Wonders
4) Hold Me (or preferably Why)
5) What Makes You Think You’re The One
6) New song (Lindsey)
7) Rhiannon
8) You Make Loving Fun
9) New song/The Dealer
10) Big Love (full band)
11) Sara
12) Isn’t It Midnight

Acoustic:
13) Never Going Back Again
14) Landslide
15) Everywhere

16) Gypsy
17) New song (Christine)
18) Dreams
19) Tango In The Night
20) Gold Dust Woman
21) Little Lies
22) Stand Back
23) The Chain
24) Go Your Own Way

25) Second Hand News
26) Don’t Stop
27) Tusk
28) Songbird

I suspect there will be closer to 25 than 28 though sadly.
