Let's check some numbers: Randomly chosen Unleashed tour setlist (Australia, 23 songs): 6 Rumours songs (7 including SSprings). 6 white album songs, 4 tusk songs, etc. Well the 70s era is the dominating, can't discuss that. A hits tour they said, obviously Rumours brought more hits than other albums, however I feel it's not enough to say this is another Rumours tour Randomly chosen SYW concert: Columbus, OH, USA Setlist on May 7, 2003 - 24 songs 8 SYW songs, 7 Rumours songs, 3 White album songs, 2 Mirage songs, 1 Tango song Rumours songs dominate the old songs material, I admit I'd have chosen more Tango songs instead, but it's not enough to say this is another Rumours tour. Actually I've seen other bands where their setlists includes less songs from the promoting album. The Dance DVD set list (probably the guilty on this perception) 22 songs: 8 Rumours songs, 5 white album songs, 3 Tango, 1 Mirage, etc.. Almost a Rumours tour, the following tour was called officially the Reunion tour (not the Dance) has too many Rumours songs, I agree. Hey!! Wasn't this reunion a celebration of the 20th anniversary of Rumours? Let's go back in time a bit. Mirage tour 1982, According to Wikipedia, 22 songs setlist contains: 8 Rumours songs, 5 white songs, 4 Mirage songs, 4 Tusk songs and Oh Well. Hummm... The SYW tour contains more songs of the new album that the Mirage tour. That's something to analyze. What I think it's worth to analyze also is.. not why there are so many Rumours songs. It's obvious. But why there are too few Tusk songs on any tour? The White songs number is decent, but Tusk and Tango are almost ignored. If they do a public survey at a website, asking: Do you want YMLF, Don't Stop, Never Going Back Again, Sara and Big Love? or Do you want I know I'm not Wrong, Another Woman, Straight Back, Can't go Back and What's the world coming to?.... what setlist will win? Not asked to fans only, but anyone... I don't think the second will win (as a fan I'd say It's sad, cause there are lot of songs I love I know I'll never see live. Not impossible.. cause watching STORMS in 2009 was like an incredible gift to me.. but unlikely. And... it would be also a fault of Pink Floyd or Roger Waters to play entire Dark Side of the Moon or The Wall in their shows (Rumours is not played entirely). Well I enjoy those faults. DSOTM was combined with the latest Roger material, that I also enjoyed. Ok, I agree the setlist is not well balanced in terms of albums, but I wouldn't say (complain) those are Rumours tours ...If FM started to decline on February 4, 1977, then Rumours is better than Tusk. I agree with that

I enjoyed this post a lot, too, and I think Hipstercrite is a good writer -- which is why it pains me to say that the best line in the whole piece is spoiled by being only one-third accurate. 'Crystal' is the most blissed-out ditty she ever wrote about LB and 'Rhiannon' isn't about them at all. But yeh, 'Landslide' hits the spot. |
