24 Karat Gold songs in Fleetwood Mac Set List?

WatchChain · #1 07-24-2014, 04:03 PM

The news is official, Stevie Nicks' "24 Karat Gold--Songs From The Vault" will be released in conjunction with the Fleetwood Mac Tour "On With The Show".

QUESTION: Do you think Fleetwood Mac will be performing songs from Stevie's NEW SOLO ALBUM in the set list? If not, why? If so, HOW MANY tracks from "24 Karat Gold" will The Mac perform? Does this mean that Stevie's signature solo standard "Stand Back" will be dropped from the Mac set list to make room for "24 Karat" songs? What are you thoughts, Ledgies?

If she replaces Stand Back with a new song then yes, absolutely. (I love SB) The reason why they are even touring is because of her. She had this project planned for song time. She changed her plans to suit the band because Christine unexpectedly rejoined (I'm very happy about that). So hey it's give and take. She should also introduce a new song * briefly* not a 10 minute rant like she did with that horrible new old song last year. The best part about the song was her rant.
Besides, Lindsey has mentioned his solo career and played solo songs with the band.

I sincerely do hope Stand Back is dropped, even though it is a good song to have in the setlist since it's high energy. Solo songs just don't belong in Fleetwood Mac. That includes songs from Stevie's 24k Gold album, and as much as I hate it, Lindsey's acoustic Go Insane. The Mac has such a tremendous back catalog. Pull out some lesser know tracks, or some of the freshly recorded MAC songs instead of solo works.

24 Karat Gold songs at a Fleetwood mac concert??? I say yes...
Fleetwood Mac WILL be promoting 24 Karat Gold (Songs From The Vault) in one way or another weather they like it or not...Why??? Because the boys knew Stevie would be making a record in 2014 before they decided on Christine returning to FM not to mention the fact that Stevie moved Heaven and earth to have 24 Karat done in time for FM rehearsals she easily could have told FM we can tour after I'm done with my solo project and tour which probably would have happened in 2015 if Stevie had not been rushed because Christine decided she wanted back in the band...It seems only fair that FM help promote "24 K" since they infringed on her plans and Stevie went way out of her way so this fall FM tour could happen...I know a lot of "Non-Stevie" FM fans are not crazy about this but look at it this way if FM stands behind Stevie in terms of promotion for "24K" and sales are good combine that with CM's return they could generate a lot of interest in the band for 2015...

Exactly...If Stevie just laid back the way John does between FM tours (No solo anything ) no guest appearances, no interviews where would the band be???

So given the circumstances a few 24K songs are allowed...

Perhaps one song from her new album will be included in the set. Fleetwood Mac is not promoting her album, nor should they be expected to - Stevie would just be taking the opportunity to promote her album.

I agree with that in part. As you say, they should take stock and mine their own catalog of songs, especially songs never performed before. I thin it's kind of cool if they add a solo song from Lindsey, Stevie or Christine every once in a while, just don't make it a staple song like Stand Back has become. Pick songs that are more identifiable and Mac oriented. Stand Back is so emblematic as a Stevie solo song, one that bears little resemblance to the band's style/vibe.

I so agree with you.

Won't happen

Yay! Thank you for good news! 😘 Get outta here with your solo stuff.

It may happen or not. I hope the show will focus more on Christine's music which we have not heard in ages.This is a special tour with all 5 members of the Rumours era are together.

It would be nice if Stevie breaks out with a song from her upcoming album.
Personally I rather see her promote this new album with a solo tour where she can focus on a handful of tunes from the new album like she did with her IYD album.

i really don't care much what Stevie songs they do, except i want to hear GDW, SOTM (which i'm sure won't happen again!), and Silver Springs. so personally any change from the stale versions of her old hits would be welcome as far as i'm concerned.

however, i really can't see how FM can promote a solo album from just one of their songwriters (e.g., eagles perform past solo hits but i think they are somewhat equally distributed among songwriters). especially any "new" album (even if the songs are all decades old), when that same songwriter has placed several different versions of the Mac new album on hold, starting from 2010.

i also don't see the reasoning some fans here like to espouse about FM interfering with one or the other songwriter's solo plans. however much i personally want LB solo, he is usually claiming that the band comes first, then solo (and he asks the band to give him a few years when he feels he needs it for solo). SN also claims that the band comes first, and solo is just for extra songs she can't put out with the band. so the logic that FM is interfering with someone's solo plans does not make sense, unless these fans are claiming that SN is lying when she says that FM comes first, and that she actually thinks FM is just a vehicle to promote herself solo.

Now a days FWM uses Stevie to promote themselves. It's a symbiotic relationship. They wouldn't and couldn't tour as often and as big with out her. The most Lindsey would do would be to release a few indie albums and do a handful of low key theater shows for 10 people. As much as I love Christine, her return to the band would go un noticed if Stevie wasn't still in the band. Sorry wake up and smell the coffee. Sorry. Tunnel vision for some folks

This band barely ever likes performing new songs from their own catalogue. They like to play hits that get a strong audience response (hence why Stand Back has endured over many actual FM songs). Coupled with the fact that they're having to re-fit a bunch of Christine songs into the set, I see absolutely zero reason to expect to hear any 24 Karat Gold songs on this tour.

Could you be more condescending?

Most of the news surrounding the new tour have been interviews with only Christine and Lindsey. But you're right about the tunnel vision, when you think it's all about Stevie somehow.
