Is Anyone Missing Stand Back? I'm Not.

At the same time, I'm not missing "Go Insane". This tour should be all about FM songs, not the solo material.

Which is probably why FM has not performed Go Insane since 2004.

They did the full-band version on the 2009 tour. It was the LB highlight for me.

I don't miss stand back because there is not enough room for the songs I want to hear this tour. Yes Stand Back got the crowd on its feet but this tour the crowd is already on its feet.
I would LOVE to hear Got A Hold on Me though

I love the set list but my only regret is Chris does not do anything from Tusk and is the only one not doing a deep track. But maybe she wanted it that way and just do the hits. Love in Store is only like 3:20. I think it would make a great encore with all 3 singing those harmonies.

I agree with you on this! Stand Back indeed had the crowd on its feet when I saw them in 2013, but it made more sense to include it during the 2003-2013 tours when Christine was not there. This time, there are so many Christine songs I would love to hear included in the set, including Hold Me, Isn't It Midnight, Love In Store, and any of her Tusk songs. If there is another tour after this one, maybe we'll get one of these.

I sometimes wonder if Christine even likes her own songs from Tusk. Even on the Tusk tour she only performed Over and Over or Think About Me in a few select cities. Brown Eyes wasn't performed until the Mirage tour.

At the 2013 shows in Europe which I attended many in the crowd hardly knew or recognized Stand Back (is it a new song? I heard around me!) ... so I guess it won't be missed.

I love the song, but te arrangements Mac made to the song kind of made it into an obligation to play it. No real fire in the song if you catch my drift.

Very looking forward to Seven Wonders this june.

Brown Eyes was also done during the 1987/1988 tour. I heard Christine say during an interview during that time that her favorite songs to do live were Brown Eyes and Sara. So I think she likes Tusk. I just think since she has been away for so long that se better stick to the hits.

Yes, I don't get the impression she particularly likes them either. Think About Me, Honey Hi and Never Forget are great songs.

I just think they aren't the most upbeat (musically) of her material and harder to do live. Not harder to play, but they are softer and quieter than say Say You Love Me or Think About Me or Don't Stop etc etc. They're actually a bit mournful, presumably based on her relationship with Dennis…and they are awesome studio confections….but I think like Oh Daddy harder to pull off in an arena full of shouting, drinking casual fans. In a more intimate setting, a smaller theater venue, probably much better.

Just because she hasn't performed them doesn't mean she doesn't like them. There could be other reasons. But it is peculiar that she only performed two of her Tusk songs on the Tusk tour -- Think About Me and Over & Over. And those songs were never performed afterwards.

I always wished they would have a period in their show where the five of them would gather in the middle of the stage and do a small series of acoustic numbers, Honey Hi would be one of them.

Never Make Me Cry would be a great solo piano showcase, with spare accompaniment from Lindsey and John. Never Forget would be a nice closer.

Think About Me should absolutely be in the spot where Everywhere is. Everywhere isnt even that much more if a hit then TAM. wasnt everywhere 17 and TAM 20. Plus its just a far better and less bubbly song and Chris would then join the Tusk set.

and Oh daddy should be getting played where over my head is. Or i guess id settle for hold me since its not been played since 1982. but i do applaud their ability to not play a top 4 hit for that long.

I thought Lindsey did only a solo acoustic version, sort of like Big Love. They performed a full band version? I must of missed that, or just forgot about it.

On The Dance Tour in 1997 that's how Lindsey played it....I think it came right before or after Big Love in the setlist. For the entire 2009 tour, they played it with the full band, although I want to say Stevie was off-stage..? (I can't remember for sure about Stevie)

I never had issue with Stand Back's inclusion in the Fleetwood Mac set, but I can say with certainty, I did not miss it during the show I saw in October. I always thought Everybody Finds Out could have been a good replacement for Stand Back if Stevie was looking for something fast/fun. But, at this point, like most of Say You Will, I'm afraid EFO has faded into obscurity for good.
