Last Saturday in the middle of a mild snowstorm I heard Stevie's version of Crash blasting out of a nice, expensive truck that stopped at a convienience store.

I'd love to hear The Mac do "That's Alright" live, with a similar setup to "Say You Love Me" from The Dance and "Without You"/"Gypsy" from 2013.



"I Can't Wait" was performed throughout the whole RAL tour, but was switched about a bit in the set.

I stand corrected! Thanks. I had it in my mind that she dropped it later in the tour.

oh how awesome!!

urgh, Whole Lotta Trouble is one of my least favourite songs ever. This will be a toilet break if she sings it live.

I humbly stand corrected. I wish I could find this online...

She should NEVER sing someone else'songs. She has enough. So when I hear Crash, Circle Dance, Rock n Roll and even I Need to Know, it bothers me. When she tours, she plays enough Fleetwood Mac to reduce her solo material that can make it into the set. So she needs to stop singing other people's songs.

She also only plays 16 songs at the most.

Here is what I would like to see in the set list. It is still light from RAL and OSOTM but that's life. But it is all solo songs and covers all her records and some extras. I know this would never happen because she'd never have a set without FM songs in it.

Outside the Rain
Rooms on Fire
Sorcerer
Blue Denim
For What it's Worth
Gold n Braid
Enchanted
Stop Dragging My Heart Around
Stand Back
Beauty and the Beast
Fall From Grace
Destiny
Sleeping Angel
Edge of Seventeen

Encore
Annabel Lee
Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You

I like it, though it's a little light on hits. If you were to add Leather and Lace, Talk to Me, and If Anyone Falls, it would totally work as a set that could please both serious chiffs and casual fans.

[jcalzaretta]

Mike - excellent point. If we can get the set uo to 18, I'd add Leather & Lace and If Anyone Falls. I considered L&L but totally forgot about IAF.

If we have to keep at 16, then I would swap out Destiny for If Anyone Falls. It would be a pretty good rock and roll set!

[SpyNote]

I think "Talk to Me" often gets excluded from consideration because it requires a multi-instrumentalist (i.e. someone who can play sax as well as other instruments for the songs in the set that don't require the sax).

Stevie seems pretty comfortable with her touring band these days so I wouldn't expect her to make many more changes to her set, unless the band already knew the song (e.g. covers).

What a great threat! It would be awesome to have forgotten gems like No Spoken Word or Long Way To Go back in her live setlist. Part of me thinks that it's sheer laziness (remember that interview when she stated that Wally wanted to bring back Bella Donna, but after a couple of rehearsals they realized how much work it would take). But then again, I also think that RAL & TOSOTM were very painful periods for her and I respect her decision not to revisit those. Just imagine her doing a stripped-down, piano-led version of Doing The Best That I Can... As fans we'd flip out, but would she really want to revisit that one?

Were you drunk when you typed this? Long Way To Go was never in her live setlist and Wally didn't want to bring back BD because he was too busy hanging out with The Beeve.

That's not very nice - But yes, I've had some wine.

The song is just okay, but it's disappointing because there is much better song yearning to get out. The lyrics are bad enough on record, but in live performances she changes (forgets?) the words and makes them even worse.

Whole Lotta Trouble had good intentions, but the writing chops weren't there.
