How could this band change the setlist for the 2015-leg of the tour?

[Andy Man]

I do not think that it will change at all. If it does, though, it will only slightly. Here is what I would like to see:

01. The Chain
02. You Make Loving Fun
03. Dreams
04. Second Hand News
05. Rhiannon
06. Everywhere
07. I Know I'm Not Wrong
08. Think About Me
09. Tusk
10. Sara
11. Say You Love Me
12. Seven Wonders
13. Big Love
14. Landslide
15. Never Going Back Again
16. Hold Me
17. Gypsy
18. Little Lies
19. Gold Dust Woman
20. I'm So Afraid
21. Go Your Own Way

22. World Turning
23. Don't Stop
24. Silver Springs

25. Songbird

The addition of a CM Tusk song, and Hold Me would be perfect!

This would make a great set list and does not require massive changes...so it could still happen!

My wish though is for two or three new songs.

I would like one new song from Lindsey (even Miss Fantasy), one new song from Christine (preferably Too Far Gone from the 2014 studio sessions) and either Angel from Stevie or a song from 24 Karat Gold - maybe Twisted or The Dealer.

By the way, if the band drops this huge hit; then we will have confirmation that they have all gone senile!

Well done! You made slight and very feasible changes that make the set quite engaging for a second leg. With adjustments, I'm sure fans would be more than willing to attend a second go-around....otherwise I just don't see why you'd want to see the same exact show more than once (with no spontaneity at all). What annoys me is that Lindsey and Stevie haven't really shaken up their songs, when they have many to choose from.

Taking out Sisters of the Moon makes sense. I'd replace it with BEAUTIFUL CHILD over Sara...right now as she is singing, I think Beautiful Child is Stevie's best live song from Tusk. Rhiannon and Silver Springs also make sense...Rhiannon because it needs a rest (more than Dreams...see the Pittsburgh video on page 1 if you disagree), and Silver Springs because it's been in every tour since The Dance. Of course this is much less likely to happen than Sisters of the Moon, but could provide room for I DON'T WANT TO KNOW, the ever apt FIREFLIES, ANGEL, and/or CRYSTAL as an encore. That would be so welcome! And we're still getting Dreams, Gold Dust, Landslide, and Gypsy (the ACOUSTIC version would make my day).

Lindsey not doing many of his Tusk songs live, I just don't get it. It's his baby, the album. Why not do WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU'RE THE ONE as an uptempo song rather than I Know I'm Not Wrong or Not That Funny for every tour. THE LEDGE is so unique, it's like punk country. And WALK A THIN LINE is nice for a slow song. A medley could work, but experimentation and re-arranging take effort. Personally, I think a Say You Will song would be great for Second Hand News or Never Going Back Again. And BLUE LETTER would be a fantastic encore. Move Don't Stop to after So Afraid to be able to add a song at the end and make for greater highs at the end of the concert.

Obviously we want to hear everything from Christine. It's a win-win. Whether the set changes or whether it doesn't. She's killing it either way, and Over My Head sounds fantastic, especially the mini jam at the end; it's just not in the right place in the set. I'd love THINK ABOUT ME and HOLD ME because they feature all three voices together...and that's why LITTLE LIES is such a hit this tour. HONEY HI would be amazing in the acoustic section, another harmony song that would put all three singers front and center. I don't know why they don't really understand that this = concert showstopper. I love ISN'T IT MIDNIGHT as many others do too...if Christine wants a rocker substitution it would be perfect. Of course, WHY needs to return, but it deserves a better showcase that could really make the song resonate.

And this isn't even touching on bringing back an incredible Bob Welch or Peter Green song for old time's sake. There is an abundance of resources, one of the greatest back catalogues of any band. With all eras together it's Beatles/Stones caliber. It'll be disappointing if there's not one tweak or two.

Fleetwood Mac played The Toyota Center on December 15. They have just announced a scheduled return to that same venue/city on March 3. If I am going to plop down $400 for two more seats a mere 11 weeks later, I think some changes to the set list are in order. If it's the same show, I'm afraid I'll have to sit this one out for the first time in my nearly 40 years as a Fleetwood Mac fan.

I find it quite irritating when North American fans complain about a boring set list because they have seen the band half a dozen times over the past decade. Think of the Australians and the Kiwis/New Zealanders who missed out completely in 2013. For me and many others, that would have been the first time ever that we saw the band and they had even included two brand new songs and an old people comedy routine in the 2013 set list.

Unlikely now that I will ever hear Sad Angel or Without You performed live in front of my eyes!

I agree that the set list should be changed like it was for the second or third leg of Say You Will Tour in 2004 with additions like Red Rover, Don't Let me Down Again and the elusive Destiny Rules.

Great swaps or additions for 2015 would be Hold Me, Angel, Brown Eyes and Big Love performed as a group like the album version rather than the one man band version done in 1997, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2013 and 2014. If Christine's return really is so profound, the least Lindsey could do is sing Big Love with her and Stevie.

It seems highly unlikely, but two new songs as done in 2013 would also be welcome additions or swaps. The two titles that seem to get bandied about a lot for Christine in interviews are Too Far Gone and How I Feel, for Lindsey it is Red Sun and Carnival Begin. Stevie's only new song title I know of is My Mother's Rings but The Dealer or Lady would be a welcome addition to the 2015 set or could replace one of her more sedate and overused tunes.

Don't forget they also dropped Gypsy for Sara, which hadn't been performed in a long long time. They're not too good with cycling through all their great songs, are they?

I feel the same way. Yet Fleetwood Mac always sticks to their set-in-stone set list. If I were in a band, and was coming back around to the same venue/city, I'd feel the need to refresh the show, and not duplicate the same show to essentially the same audience.

For any tour, I think they see their set list like a play or a movie. Changing a scene or order of events just isn't an easy option. To be fair, most bands have a fixed set list when they tour. The difference is that some artists have more freedom to chose from a wider depth of their catalog in their set lists on their tours.

Artists like Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, or U2 -- because they have one main singer/songwriter -- have much more wiggle room. They don't have a "must play" list. Their sets aren't glutted with the same songs for decades, with the compulsion to drive all of their hits and familiar songs into the ground, and in the same sequence. Aside from a few classic hits, they are free to perform, among a few staples of well-known songs, deep tracks, cover songs, obscure songs, as well as new songs. Their fans understand and appreciate, expect and accept it.

Fleetwood Mac is a different animal, and their fan base has a slightly different dynamic. They have three distinct singer/songwriters, each with signature songs. That dynamic immediately constricts what they will perform. They have always been very conservative in their choices, with a tendency to stay on familiar grounds, rather than taking chances by venturing too far outside their comfort zone. Now, as a vintage band, their appeal generally leans to a vintage demographic. So they are less interested in testing their audiences, and more focused on pleasing them.

I don't think you can compare U2, Bruce Springsteen or Tom Petty to Fleetwood Mac and especially this tour. The Mac has 3 front singers and one went away for 10 years and they had a reunion in 1997 The Dance. That tour played the hits and it was a huge success. Then the singer who had the most hits with the Mac left for 16 years. She is back and playing the songs we have not heard live since the 1990's. Those other bands only had one singer who never left

I saw them last year and seeing them again in 2015. If they play a few different songs, I would love that. But I am not expecting that. I am just so grateful to hear Chris's voice live again. She could talk for 90 minutes and I would still be happy. Is it my dream set list? No! But my dream set list would probably have people running for the aisles.
I feel like the band. It makes me so happy to see them so happy on stage. They sound amazing. The band has chemistry again with Chris singing and playing. We are the minority of the crazed fans. The vast majority of people buying tickets and going to the show are not Ledgies and they could not name one song prior to 1974 or any song off Tusk other than the hits. There is a demand for these songs and they are pleasing big time. I was just watching Youtube videos in Tampa. The entire arena was on its feet jumping up and down. It looked like a metal concert from the 1980's. As Lindsey said in the Red Beard interview.....the audience is on its feet the entire show "WE NEVER HAD THAT HAPPEN BEFORE.'

9 Fleetwood Mac on tour, May 27-July 1

Those classic songs can be strangely underwhelming in concert but this tour should have more of a sense of occasion given the return of Christine McVie after a 16-year breather. Her change of heart opens up all sorts of possibilities. Will Bill Wyman resume his place on the bass for the Stones? Will Paul McCartney be giving Pete Best a call?

If they can get Everywhere and Little Lies to work, what is preventing them from doing Hold Me? It would just need a little intro from Lindsey or Christine. Something like "here's a song from the Mirage album we haven't played since 1982, it's one of Christine's, you guys will remember it pretty quickly after we begin to play" or something like that.
