Edit: I checked the setlists and Sara was only played in a few stops. Birmingham and Scotland and half of the Wembley Arena shows.

The Dance tour also had Eyes played the very first night and then changed with SHN for the second show - to remain there for the rest of the tour.

I think those SYW Tour changes with IKINW and Sara happened with the 2004 leg. They changed the set up a bit when they came back to the US. Don’t Let Me Down Again got a one off appearance and Lindsey threw Red Rover in as well.

I’m pretty sure Sara was played throughout the 1988 shows they did. I’ve heard exactly one recording and I think it was one of those radio broadcasts they used to do. I want to say from Germany but don’t hold me to that. Somewhere I have an external hard drive with all those old bootlegs that used to get shared on fmlegacy and a few other sites that I’ve long forgotten about!

Some of the records of set lists for Fleetwood Mac in the 1987-90 years have been wonky on the internet for decades. I’ve seen sets claiming Go Your Own Way was not played which seems incredibly unlikely. And of course my favorite is the whackadoo claim that some dope put out there that they opened a 1990 show in New Jersey with Sara. That never happened - there’s literally zero chance. I think setlist.fm continues to perpetuate this and I swear this came from some alt.music.Fleetwood-Mac post without any credibility or backup and was accepted as fact.
