To anyone going to Mick's meet and greet:

Let's not get carried away lol.

Just if anyone is going to meet Mick, please tell him how much we all want
Hold Me in the set.

If they really rehearsed it, they should play it for us. It would be much more exciting than Over My head.

I agree. Changing up the set is always a good thing. I don't want to hear the excuse that they can't do that now....not every song has a pre-programmed backdrop. Many have closeups of band members on the huge video screen behind the stage. We know they rehearsed:

Hold Me

Brown Eyes

Sara

Blue Letter

Stand Back

I'm not a fan of the weird video things. Can we just have the camera panning the band and that's what shows on the big screen behind them?

I would be so happy if they put Hold Me, Sara, Brown Eyes and Blue Letter back in. That would make it a little bit closer to "a fans dream reunion set list." Since apparently that's what they were going for. We literally got The Dance 2.0. I don't dislike Over My Head, it's just Hold Me is better and it was number 4 back in the day. Over My Head was 20. Hold Me is my favorite song and it appears to have a good cult following.

Blue Letter or Monday Morning would be great additions to the set. How many times have we heard Big Love, Second Hand News and Never Going Back Again? The set is good but it could be great if they cut out some of the dead wood. There is an arsenal of songs that never get played.

LOL I don't think at a meet and greet would be the place to complain about the set list. They are prepared to do the songs they practiced for each night. It would be an awkward request and it would never be honored.

I know, I know. But we only get this one chance. That leaked set list from 9/8 with 26 songs would have been awesome.

I would be curious if Mick, or anyone in the band, has heard about or read Richard Dashut's tumbler blog..... And if they have, what do they think?

I'm going on saturday and still not decided what to ask him, but the Mirage remaster issue is a must.

I can absolutely do without Stand Back but oh my good gosh I would give annnything to hear Brown Eyes! That's my very favorite Christine song!!! Blue Letter is another fave and others mentioned Monday Morning- that song just makes me soooo darn happy. And would love Sara.... *sigh*

[bethelblues]

Sara could replace Sisters of the Moon. I just don't get it...why is there a rush to finish Sisters in 4 min when other songs like Gold Dust Woman have a chance to rock (as songs should at rock concerts)? I think there's so much potential and it's sad the song isn't living up to what is possible still now at this stage in their careers. So if there's no effort to do justice to the song, I'd rather it dropped. Definitely before Seven Wonders. If anything changes, for Stevie, I'd vote Sisters first and Gypsy second.

[BigAl84]

I think two very simple things could bring some life back to a few songs.

Sisters Of The Moon- we really need Lindsey's awesome guitar solo from the mirage tour version.

Rhiannon - as one reviewer already stated, it falls a little flat these days. Again, bring back Lindsey's guitar solo that has been cut out and extend the drum interlude right before the "dreams unwind, love's a state of mind etc" I love when the song breaks down to that interlude and since the dance, it's been reduced to all of 15 seconds.

[bethelblues]

It's fun when songs "break down." You know they used to do that for Seven Wonders. The guitars would drop out and it would just be percussion and Stevie singing. It was a nice effect that got some audience response before kicking back in right at the end.

Yes, Stevie does that live on Sorcerer and I love that part of the show.

I also really like the little break in IKINR.
