Your Ideal Mac Setlist

[Macfan4life]

There are lots of threads with "dream set list." I suppose we can only dream because the Mac and Stevie are probably the most ritualistic live performers ever. I know this would only happen in a dream but here it goes.

Stevie opens for the Mac. She does many of her solo hits and we get Dreams, Gold Dust Woman, Landslide, and Rhiannon out of the way. Its great to see Stevie live and solo.
Then the Mac takes the stage and digs really deep playing many Christine songs pre-Buckingham Nicks. Lindsey digs deep into Tusk and many of his Mac songs that are sometimes glossed over.

Now THIS would be a concert

They all come on stage and play 'Why'
Couldn't give a toss what they played after that- my dream setlist would be fullfilled.

[AncientQueen]

Mh, they don't play Dreams. Perfect set list.

i like this! get Stevie out of the way and play mostly LB/CM songs as Mac? brilliant! i can skip the opener and just come in for the main act.

big yes to LB's Tusk and SYW songs that are never played.

My dream setlist would have to include Hold Me and Isn't It Midnight. They would do Isn't It Midnight just before Go Your Own Way at the end of the main set, and it would be a really high energy, rocking version. I'd add one of Christine's Tusk ballads, probably Never Make Me Cry, to the acoustic or "cocktail kit" part of the show. And I want a lot of new Christine/LB songs that they collaborated on and more of Christine's piano playing. Some bluesy/early 70s stuff that they could really jam out to. Maybe a Danny Kirwan song. I'd replace World Turning with something else.

Lindsey: Bring back Eyes of the World (Mirage-style), Not That Funny (with Christine on piano). Play Tango In The Night instead of I'm So Afraid. I'd add multiple songs from Out of The Cradle and Gift of Screws (2008), there are some very Mac-like songs on there that I would much rather hear than the standard Rumours fare. I liked the full-band Go Insane in 2009 and want more stuff like that.

Stevie: Angel, Crying in the night, Races are run, That's alright, Sorcerer? Something different, I don't know If songs like Rhiannon and Gypsy were included, it would be in different versions/ arrangements. Would prefer completely new songs altogether, as long as they're good ones.

[KarmaContestant]

Three cheers for that! I presume this includes no backing vocalists.
