I still think Lindsey was semi-strong armed into doing a hits kinda show rather then an album then tour.... He could be going along with the majority vote on that one. He's always been the one that was more into going out with a purpose rather then just to go out on tour... So he's just going with the flow...

Ive come up with a list that is what I EXPECT and not exactly what I WANT.

Linds:

I'm So Afraid
Second Hand News
Go Your Own Way
Tusk
I Know Im Not Wrong (He seems to love this one)
Never Goin Back Again
Eyes of the World
Big Love
Bleed to Love Her (Maybe, due to the popularity of the Dance)
Peacekeeper

Stevie:

Landslide
Rhiannon
Dreams
Gold Dust Woman
Silver Springs
Sara
Gypsy
Stand Back
Say You Will
Goodbye Baby (To close the show)

Together:

The Chain
Don't Stop
World Turning

Now thats only 23 songs, which leaves room for two more. Will they do 2 "different" songs or will they do two Christine songs?

And the more I think about it, the more troubled I get. If Lindsey said don't worry about the lack of rehearsals, because it's the same songs we've been doing for 30 years, that indicates to me that the songs will have the old, familiar arrangements too. If I was dreaming of something like the remodeled SYLM we got for The Dance, then I can kill that hope.

Thinking of their appearance, I don't think they looked old. If anything, they looked too classy. They were sedate and stately. I would like to see a few concert clips to promote the new tour that show them in action. Take the clips from Lindsey's GOS solo outing and Stevie's Soundstage. Show them moving and sweating a little. Let people who haven't seen them before know that there will be some fun and motion at this concert.

Michele

I think that may be true. I'm sure Stevie and Mick are likely to have wanted to do the hits. I bet John just wants to play his bass but I get the impression that he would be open to doing a new setlist but in the end is happy just to play at all.

Then there's Lindsey, who performed more than half of his new album on his GOS tour and there were a few new arrangements of older songs, and now he's going and doing a nostalgia tour so that's really disappointing. I just want him to do solo stuff from now on unless the Mac become a proper working band again (unlikely). Lindsey is more a band with Wally, Neal and Brett than he is with Stevie, Mick and John these days.

Sadly, I completely agree. The Gift of Screws Tour was nothing short of spectacular.

Sometimes compromises have to be made, to eventually get what you want.

If a "Greatest Hits" tour is what it takes for the band members to reconnect and to all get on the same page about recording new material -- becoming that proper "working band" again -- then I think it's a worthwhile trade-off.

Yeah I get it, I just hope they don't throw in too many Christine songs. I thought World Turning and Don't Stop was just enough last time. I mean Lindsey has only had three "radio" hits with the band. I mean I can see him doing these, realistically:

I'm So Afraid
Second Hand News
Go Your Own Way
Tusk
I Know Im Not Wrong (He seems to love this one)
Never Goin Back Again
Eyes of the World
Big Love
Bleed to Love Her (Maybe, due to the popularity of the Dance)
Peacekeeper

THey look great. Stevie should do her hair like that more often.
