Last year we had the surprise of hearing Sisters live.This tour hopefully will focus on Chris and her music.Thats whats most of the FM fans are looking for.

I'm sure they'll figure out a balanced set that will equally feature each of them, as they always have in the past. We can only hope for some surprise performances. That's what most Fleetwood Mac fans are looking for.

I really hope they keep Sara in the set list. I really want to see it live with Christine on the piano. Christine's piano riff is what makes that song so amazing.

So does Lindsey's incredible guitar work, as he used to do it (hasn't come close in the recent tours):

The first 2.5 minutes of that video are amazing. Well the whole video is, but the first 2.5 minutes are really amazing. John's bass is amazing also.

The only live version of Sara besides that one I can listen to is from the Live album (1980). It's just incredible, how they used to do that song. Really, it was amazing because it featured all of the elements of the band at their best...the rhythm section, the guitarwork by Lindsey working to enhance the song, the piano/keyboards, and Stevie's voice at that time (the end is just ethereal).

And when they do the DVD, I hope they put all the songs on the tour on the dvd. I hate it when they leave off songs and we never have an official live version of them.

It's so annoying. And the live cd they dropped Songbird. i had to buy the import with Over My Head and Songbird to complete the live CD set of the Dance.

That frustrates me so much. Most other artists put the entire show on the CD/DVD.

THANK YOU! lindsey has not done those beautiful arpeggio parts since Sara's return in 2004. To me, it just makes the song. Not the same at all when he just does more of the rhythm riff.

They need to go back to improv'ing a little more as instrumentalists. They did back in the day and some wonderful things came out.

I don't need The Dance II

No wonder Christine was so bored.

Thank you! I thought I was the only one who noticed that Sara was so much more interesting in the past. It's like they forgot how they used to play it, chiefly Lindsey. No wonder Sisters of the Moon had such an uninspired arrangement.

That reminds me of how she said she was going to enjoy herself this time and not stay cooped up in her hotel room while on tour. She's going to go out and do things in the cities they travel in, so maybe we'll get some pictures of her out and about.

Yes you are right.I cant wait to see the show.

Will it will only a month away until they hit the stage in Minneapolis, MN Target Center end of September.

They only got a few more weeks to work the tunes out.

They will be OK after singing the tunes over 1000 times over the years.Its good to have the techs work out the bugs in the sound and lighting equipment before they hit the road.
