How was the crowd? Was the theater mostly full?

Thanks for all the reviews!

Surprised at Wish You Were Here, that's a big shock! Also great they're doing Hold Me.

Very disappointed we won't hear two of the best songs from the album, Carnival Begin and OWTS. Lay Down For Free I wouldn't have chosen. Nice for Christine to have a Songbird ending.

Looking forward to watching the videos later. Edit: it seems videos are being copyright striked on YouTube????

So many songs not included -

I would have bet on Don't Stop, Say You Love Me, World Turning, The Chain, Second Hand News, Big Love. LB loves Bleed to Love Her and thought that might make it. I was also assuming the two new songs left out would be Lay Down for Free and Game of Pretend. I was 99% confident that we would not hear and Christine solo or pre-75 Mac. Those eras do not seem to be her jam anymore.

I love how someone can write that they are objective in their evaluation of the set list. Ahhh...no...It is your opinion. YOU would prefer to hear other songs. So would I, especially at the encore. That doesn't make me some arbiter of all that is good and evil about the show and the voice of radio free MacLand regarding set list inclusions and exclusions.

For me it is an inspired setlist. Certainly until the encore I was fully onboard, even if I could have found a nice replacement for Shut Us Down.

Kudos to them for not just dragging out the hits, mixing the placement, and finding an unexpected way to effectively pace the show.

Elle, I've never seen Lindsey live, so Trouble is one I was hoping he'd do this tour

But it does seem like a strange song to open the show with. I was wondering if he usually opens his solo shows with this song.

Also, are you surprised he didn't sing Holiday Road? That seems like a perfect song for a summer tour!

I think Christine deliberately did FM songs for this tour that Lindsey had played on, hence the exclusion of her pre 1975 material. Or maybe she thought anything before then wouldn't be as well known to the audience?

I agree about the pacing of the show... especially interesting to me was that Wish You Were Here was played so early. To me it always seemed like more of a closer.

Sounds like Hold Me and You Make Loving Fun might have been a bit of a mess... I hope they don't drop them, though.

From the video I saw of Hold Me, it sounds like they botched the lyrics and got the verses mixed up.

I would say maybe 75% full or less. That's about the turnout I'd expect for Atlanta. Seemed like there were a lot of casual fans in attendance. I overheard a conversation between some people who didn't even know about the new album, so I don't doubt that some attendees thought it was supposed to be some kind of greatest hits tour.

They did botch the verses of Hold Me, I think it was mostly Christine's mistake.

They must be saving "On With The Show" and "Carnival Begin" for the next Mac tour...

I love the fact Christine digs deep into her classic masterpieces. When I was a kid, I would listen to Wish You Were Here and cry. The song had that impact on me. I could be wrong but I bet we see different songs at every concert. They have so much material and have shown to be spontaneous.

I also think they would try different songs and setlists will change as the tour evolves. If they don't like the dynamic of some songs we will maybe get lucky and have some other songs include on the setlist. Like Big Love or Never Make me Cry.
