Hi,

As the MAc are about to tour the UK.
I was wondering what songs you would like to see them play live?

My choice are the following in no particular order

The Chain
Thrown Down
Peacekeeper
Say You Will
7 Wonders
Go Your Own Way
Dont Stop
Oh Well
Loved Another Woman
World Turning
Silver Springs
Second Hand News
Not That Funny
Steal Your Heart Away
Tusk
Rhiannon
Standback
Gypsy
Whats The World Coming To
Goodbye Baby

Wouldnt be great if Peter Green came out to sing Oh Well
and then Christine to finish the show singing Songbird

The word "great" would be the understatement of the millenium, but the chances of it actually happening are less than Halley's comet making a random appearance that night.

If Christine only attends (i.e. doesn't sing/play) the Earls Court show(s) I'd be extremely happy because at least I would get to see these 5 people in the same room for the first (and probably last) time!

For better or worse, I think the set list will be the same as it has been here in the states. Thrown Down, Steal Your Heart Away, Not That Funny and Seven Wonders are a long shot. Oh Well and and I Loved Another Another Woman are a very long shot.

In chronological order...not set list order...here's what you'll get:

Landslide
I'm So Afraid
Rhiannon
World Turning

Second Hand News
Dreams
Never Going Back Again
Don't Stop
Go Your Own Way
Silver Springs
Gold Dust Woman
The Chain

Tusk
Beautiful Child

Gypsy
Eyes Of The World

Big Love

Stand Back

Come
Say You Will
What's The World Coming To
Say Goodbye
Goodbye Baby
Peacekeeper

By the way, is Fleetwood Mac still generally respected as a vital band in the UK? I know that when the "Americans" joined the band there was somewhat of a backlash.

With regard to the US, all I can say is I long for the days when we had a Fleetwood Mac-loving president (Bill Clinton). Bush is not my president. He's an evil embarrassment and living nightmare.

Hmm I don't know the band's status in the UK...I think a certain amount of Pre-BN Mac didn't like their joining, but I think Stevie and Lindsey picked up a large following after their joining over there as well...the shows have been selling well, so obviously they do have a following there...one of the Earls Court Shows in Sold Out..

I don't think OH WELL would be that much of a long shot, considering they performed it very frequently in the 70s and 80s...it would be fitting IMO

I was actually quite surprised when they stopped doing it in '97....it had been in (I think) every Fleetwood Mac concert since 1970 or so. Though, it hasn't been played with Lindsey in the band since the last night of the Mirage Tour (hard to believe that it's currently 21!! years since that tour - I was only 2!).

In some sort of order, this is what I'd like to see:

Oh Well
Green Manalishi
Hypnotized

Frozen Love
Crying in the Night

Rhiannon (Stevie doesn't have to scream, but they could change the arrangement a bit to resemble the early days at least musically, couldn't they?)
Blue Letter
Landslide

Go Your Own Way
The Chain
I Don't Want to Know

Tusk
Sisters of the Moon
Angel
The Ledge

Fireflies

Edge of Seventeen

That's Alright (or a duo-"Designs of Love" version of it)
Hold Me (Lindsey could pull this one off alone I think)
Eyes of the World
Straight Back

Tango in the Night
Seven Wonders
Big Love (with the band)

Countdown

Paper Doll
Silver Springs

Steal Your Heart Away
Everybody Finds Out
Running Through the Garden
Come
Say You Will

I would have loved for them to add Seven Wonders, but it's not happening. Sandy Stewart was at the Houston show, and if they didn't do it with her there, it's not being done, IMO. Instead she got a Landslide dedication. Seven Wonders would have been much more appropriate.
