Concert openers. - Page 2

I listed the songs in the order of importance to the energy of the set:

1. Blue Letter (I think they should start the show with a fast number to get the audience up)
2. Second Hand News (I think after Blue Letter, they should immediately follow with this song. I liked this opening Tour 2013)
3. The Chain (This should be the third song of the set. As an opener, it's engaging but I think it's more effective when it follows a faster number like it did in 2013 (Second Hand News into The Chain)

Over and Over would be just delicious as an opener as would Think About Me, but I'm thinking they'll go with Say You Love Me as it has worked well as an opener before and people would be more familiar than TAM. I can't seem them doing a Stevie opening song, especially something she hasn't done in a while or never done. As great as I Don't Want to Know would be it's not going to happen I don't think.

I know this will never happen but to fit the "Christine Returns" theme,"Fireflies" would be awesome!!!!"Everyone stays close till the fire fades"-I think I would faint!

"Eyes Of The World" with Mick's crazy drum intro
"You Make Loving Fun" with like a synth effect/symbol rattling intro
"Angel", US Fest '83 style with the rock n roll style guitar intro and piano

Open with "Honey Hi," followed by "The Chain"

It is true, isn't it? That Fleetwood Mac has never opened with a Stevie song. How about Stand Back?

1. Love In Store. This song is catchy and upbeat!
2. Think About Me. A nice groovy rocker.
3. The Chain done differently;
It would start off as the Rumours Deluxe demo version up until the 2:04 mark, the lights go out and then Mick starts in with the drums and the band goes into regular album version.

PLEASE! Anything but The Chain. Yes, it's a great opener, but so damn predictable, like seeing the same movie over and over and over again, as if there are no other options. You know what's coming. This isn't a ****ing church service.

Don't you want it to be fresh, to be surprised? Isn't it enough that we going to get the same songs they've driven into the ground, for the most part, in the last twenty years, with Dreams following The Chain, (which I always thought sucked the energy out of the room after such a rousing opener.).

A long shot for sure, but what if Christine came out with the song she performed as an opener early on when Lindsey and Stevie just joined the band - Get Like You Used to Be? (the sentiment being very appropriate considering her long absence from being in the band).

A previous poster suggested Blue Letter! Great call! I always thought that would be a great opener since I saw them perform it on the Mirage tour.

How about nixing Stand Back from the set entirely, especially now, since it leaves room for Christine's songs?

Nickingham · #28 06-14-2014, 06:31 AM

I agree with you PenguinHead on both counts.

I'm not going to see FM anytime soon, but I picked The Chain for a third option and gave it a twist just in case the band decides to go with the same old stand-by. You know.... mix it up a little. Which they probably won't do.

But I really hope they pick a Chris song as an opener.

In my opinion, they just shouldn't do any solo songs. I mean they have three singers again and alot of other songs to choose from.

The only sure thing is that THEY MUST OPEN WITH A CHRISTINE MCVIE song. We have missed our English Songbird and it would really get the crowd going. My guess is that they'll open with "Say You Love Me" with the SECOND song being "The Chain". Fleetwood Mac is usually very predictable with their set lists.

I would really like to see them open with:

Over My Head
Think About Me (three part harmony)
Hold Me
