It would flop big time. Go Your Own Way closes the set for a reason, the band sees it as the perfect end, everyone knows it, has a great beat, and a killer ending solo where Lindsey, and to some extent Stevie, can run around the stage. IMO, the band uses Stand Back as Stevie's answer to a GYOW type of song. There are other Fleetwood Mac songs of hers that COULD work there, but none of the ones that were listed. Of Stevie's "big" FM songs, I really could only see Rhiannon or Silver Springs in that spot....and to be fair, both of them would have to be amped up a bit to work. That part of the set is basically the final stretch of the race, it needs to be an iconic, well known song.

Exactly. When it comes to energetic, iconic Fleetwood Mac hits sung by Stevie, the pickings are slim. A high-energy, uptempo Rhiannon with the ending guitar solo added back is really the only one I can think of.

That said, I wouldn't mind them leaving it out... but I understand why it's there.
