Chris should play Get like you used to be!

Today, if they opened a show with this song, at least Stevie would be there, banging her tambourine and adding some background vocals.

Whatever they do, I just hope they get a little creative and change it up and not open with The Chain and follow with Dreams, or have The Chain be the second song. It's so old and stale. Same songs in the same place for ****ing twenty years! They can appear elsewhere in the set. The show will appear fresh and fantastic in spite of being the same old songs. They have nothing to prove anymore.

Amen to that!! PenguinHead always gets it right. I've been buying tickets to Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks LIVE shows for the last 37 years, and changing up the show to make it new, innovative, and fresh is NOT something these people excel at. It's almost like they're afraid to mess with "their brand", but at least Lindsey tries to take some chances. Come on MAC, through us a bone for the "On With The Show" Tour. Work up some NEW ARRANGEMENTS to familiar old tunes. How about an UNPLUGGED version of "Tusk" with all band members front and center (Chris rocking out the accordion, Stevie beating on a cowbell while the band sing the tune in harmony in a hushed vibrato)?? Continue the harmony unplugged set with "Honey Hi" and "Landslide" (with some piano). Open the show with a rocking version of "Get Like You Used To Be", with Stevie and Lindsey on harmony. Play "Hold Me" for the first time in 32 years and give it a new arrangement. The possibilities are endless. The true fans have been waiting SO LONG for something a little more exciting in the set list, but, quite frankly, attending Fleetwood Mac shows is starting to feel like a routine. Where's the spontaneity?

I LOVE to see Bruce Springsteen play live because YOU NEVER KNOW what he is going to pull out for the set list? It's often a DIFFERENT set list every night with arrangements that you'd never imagine.
