It's a song written and sung by Stevie Nicks, just like GDW, Dreams, etc. The line between FM and solo is blurry to say the least. If you like the song, just enjoy it. Yes, she could make room for a deep cut like Angel by dropping it, but she could do the same thing by dropping Rhiannon.

Unlike some of her solo songs Stand Back doesn't sound like it's a Fleetwood Mac song. I'm used to having it in the set list and I think it adds that boost of energy that the band appreciates. But the fact that Stevie wrote and performed it doesn't make it a Fleetwood Mac shoo-in for me. If it's incongruent for some people I can well understand that. To them it probably sounds more out of place then another Stevie song would. Michele
