Songbird/Seven Wonders

I never heard she sang the wrong words on Seven Wonders. Does anyone know this story? Is this why she sounds marbled mouthed on some parts?

Since Tango In The Night, Stevie's voice has improved markedly on all of her albums and Fleetwood Mac's.
I've even noticed great leaps between Trouble In Shangri La and In Your Dreams. And also from In Your Dreams to 24k Gold.
So much more depth, character and control.
It's shocking to go back to Rock a Little and TITN now.
She really re-launched her career by taking care of her voice.
Now we need to get Lindsey to work on his.

Has anybody heard if Chris is playing Songbird again yet?

When listening to the demo made by Sandy Stewart Stevie misheard the words 'all the way down you held the line' and instead sang 'all the way down to Emmeline'. After singing it this way it was kept in which allowed Stevie to receive a writers credit.

I think she sings it just great- when you say 'marble-mouthed' are you referring to the second 'well you know I'm sorry but...' ? I've always loved that part of the song.

So hope this is back in for Europe.

I can't fathom why it's considered a "horrible" vocal. I think it's a great, emphatic vocal, one of the best she's done.

I saw this show 5 times - in full. Seven Wonders was amazing each time and was very well received.

I am not a big fan of Seven Wonders but I don't hate it either. However, I really enjoyed it live because it was something different. Ditto Little Lies. (By different, I mean something that they haven't played so much live).

For me knowing that Seven Wonders and Songbird were in the original setlists and have now been dropped makes me much less inclined to see them live again. I have never missed a Mac or SN/LB solo show in the Bay Area, but I saw them twice this tour already and now that the show will be two songs shorter, I'm for sure not going to go.

That said, I hope everyone enjoys their shows.
