Setlist Speculation with Christine.

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)
