That is a great idea. I don't know about everybody else but the exciting stuff are songs not previously played or songs performed in a new context. And for anyone who thinks that is an unsuccessful idea take a look at Bruce Springsteen - 16 months 223 songs and only 3 performed at every show. Yes he is a very different act but the real fans enjoy the rarities and the bucket list attendees enjoy the more obvious. It also kept it fresh and exciting for the him and the band. Fleetwood Mac have always toured with the exact same set so moving away from that comfort zone will not happen. Ever. But it is still a shame and a one off show or handful of shows with a rare song list would be extraordinary.
Most people on this forum take delight in finding previously unseen footage or demos or live versions.
It would be nice but dream on silly dreamers.
