lol, welcome to the world of TL where everybody seems to think they know better even if they have no clue - there will always be many people scoffing at anything that makes sense.

although if this really was the dance 2, at least we would get a few new songs! no such luck.

it is also interesting to see people complaining about the same setlist but then turning around and scoffing on what can be considered a surprise and one of the few changes - SOTM which was only played on 2 tours so far; instead they wish back a mainstay.

Hold Me, which was a big hit and still a mainstay of many classic rock stations, but was played live on just one tour, would be a really nice surprise; yet people wish back some other CM live mainstays.

It would be interesting to see what they could do with Hold Me. Example: how much better is Everywhere on The Dance than the 1987-1990 live versions? A lot better, the 1987-1990 kinda sucks actually.

Assuming this is the real set list, I would love to see Blue Letter in there, maybe instead of Big Love. I would rather have Sara than Silver Springs. They could take out Tusk and do something different there too. I would even rather have Eyes of the World over Tusk. I'm excited about Never Going Back. I would rather have Monday Morning over Secondhand News, they always do Secondhand News. I guess there's more complaints about Lindsey's selection than Stevie or Christine. Christine's selection is good, all the must plays, again, I would love to see Hold Me, but not counting on it.

wait wait, aren't you the guy who always wants to hear the greatest hits they have? what happened? you don't want Tusk and Second Hand News and want lesser known songs instead? these 2 are definitely among 10 highest FM mainstays on various lists.

I like those Lindsey songs better. I enjoy Blue Letter and Monday Morning more than Tusk and Secondhand News.

I think the set looks great with Christine's songs. The vast majority of FM fans will love this show. The only ones disappointed will be...The Ledgies, as usual. (said tongue and cheek ).

Can't wait until the end of the month!

Oh, I'm sure there will be one surprise song no matter what. Maybe 2.

I wouldn't expect it to be announced beforehand.

Thats a setlist that could change a few minds. I had to correct my misspelling from setlust... lol, that was another thread, wasn't it?

The only surprise I see is that there is no surprise at all. Christine rejoining the band was the only surprise. If the band took a poll to get a feel for what songs loyal fans would like them to perform, it would be a very different set. At the very least it would have given them some insight and ideas to update and restructure the show. For them, they probably think that following The Chain with You Make Loving Fun instead of Dreams is a radical departure. They're like old people who are not bothered to be wearing the same clothes day after day, year after year.
