Your ideal Mac setlist?

[roomsonfire21]

This is my idea for the final mac shows. One in north america, one in europe. Christine joins the band again, as the iconic 5 members close the book on Fleetwood Mac.
The concert starts in absolute silence. A large video screen starts a 10 second countown much like in a silent, or home movie. The studio version of world turning plays as old video from the pre-rumours days plays. We are journying thru the history of fleetwood mac. Thunderous applause erupts when Christine, Stevie, and Lindsay, are shown joining the band. the clips begin to speed up, while the music gets louder. We move thru rumours, tusk, and mirage within 20 seconds. this montage continues with stevie solo, tango in the night, lindsay leaves the band, the shake the cage tour, the dance, say you will, and unleashed. The clips now at a blinding speed, and the music near-deafening, both cut off abruptly. A single spotlight shines down on the stage, illuminating buckingham. He screams out "looking out for looooove", and the band lauches into the full band version of Big Love, as the stage lights explode with dazzling light. Stevie and Lindsay do the infamous grunting, but in a way that makes it seem as if they are fighting. The song ends, and the concert continues.
Big Love(full band)
Say You Love Me(three part harmonies)
Gold Dust Woman(with snippet of sisters of the moon)
Not that Funny
Gypsy
Everywhere
acoustic section:
Crystal
Never Going Back Again
Second Hand news(Stevie Sings)
Hold Me
Landslide
return to electric instruments
Rhiannon
Go Your Own Way
You Make Lovin Fun
Sara
Monday Morning
Don't Stop.
Encore:
The band leaves the stage while a deep ambient sound plays in the background. The sound of a heartbeat emerges from the distance. This encore showcases the talents of each member in an intense, energy filled sequence.
The Chain:represents the band as a whole, and the ties that bind them. John's bass solo is extended, and the second half of the song is his show case. This segues into an elaborate percussion sequence, where each member is playing a percussive instrument, leading to...
Tusk: obviously mick's showcase, and matches his manic personality perfectly.
Im' so Afraid: Buckingham gets his catharsis out of the way.
Little Lies:extended version, where Christine rocks out, and smashes her synth in the process. exclaims "i've got blisters on me fingers!"
Edge of Seventeen:10 minute version ala soundstage, height of energy of the concert. At the end, the stage is engulfed in white confetti, while stevie lets loose a scream, followed by a "stand-back" kick.
The band all gathers by their microphones, sing songbird acapella style, and wave a bittersweet farewell to fleetwood mac.

To me, the driving force behind Fleetwood Mac has been the emotional intensity behind the songs. Take the chain for instance, you can't get more intense than the second half of that song. Which is why I feel like kicking a shetland pony when people refer to FM as "soft rock"(kicks pony).

Anyway, the reason that the encore/showcase section is so intense, is because IF(a very big if) this was the final shows of FM, it would be Stevie, Lindsay, and Christine's last chance to express their emotions toward each other on stage. Their FINAL chance to have a "silver springs" moment.

The theme of the setlist is uncovering this "emotion" as the band plays songs from various periods of their career. By the time they reach the encores, this emotion has been fully revealed, and the audience is face to face with the raw, unleashed fleetwood mac. This pain reaches apex with the "coming-of-age" of Edge of Seventeen. Like the songs protagonist, FM must leave behind the past, and enter a new, uncertain future. When the song ends, we are hit with the full impact of all of the pain the band has been through over the years.
However, the band comes to terms with the pain, and finds calm solace in the future during the acapella songbird. No matter what happens in the future, they will always have the memories of the best times of FM, and their bonds of friendship, to help them overcome any obstacle the future presents.

'That is how Fm should end. NOt with nostalgia, or spectacle, but with comforting closure.

[Andy Man]

(This is what I think the Unleashed tour would have looked like with Christine in the mix)

01 Monday Morning
02 The Chain
03 Dreams
04 Say You Love Me
05 I Know I'm Not Wrong
06 Gypsy
07 Oh Daddy
08 Rhiannon
09 Second Hand News
10 Little Lies
11 Tusk
12 Sara
13 Big Love [Acoustic]
14 Never Going Back Again [Acoustic]
15 Landslide [Acoustic]
16 Over My Head [Acoustic]
17 You Make Loving Fun
18 Gold Dust Woman
19 Think About Me (or Hold Me)
20 I'm So Afraid
21 Silver Springs
22 Go Your Own Way

23 World Turning
24 Don't Stop

25 Sisters Of The Moon

26 Songbird

There a ton of other songs that I would LOVE to hear live, but I think that had Christine been with the band this setlist would be pretty realistic...

I sometimes use a pic of Lindsey, as my Facebook profile pic, and my high school girlfriend sent me a message, about how much she loved my LindsAy pic.

I scolded her, and told her that she'd be eaten alive, on the FM boards, by misspelling his name! She was like, "I almost looked it up, before I messaged you!"

haha niiiiiiicee. My friends do that all the time, and my best friend's name is LindsAy, so if i'm talking about Mr. Buckingham i have to be like, "Lindsey with an e"

[ButterCookie]

I scold people for using LindsAy, so to avoid confusion I call him Liddy. Try shouting 'IT'S LIDDY' when FM comes on in HMV and not getting trange looks
