I found an article from Ultimate Classic Rock on why the band dropped Monday Morning. This information was taken from a podcast Finn did with the Broken Record podcast.

Asked which particular Fleetwood Mac song challenged him, Finn offered up a tune from the band’s 1975 self-titled album.

“Certainly, ‘Monday Morning’,” the singer admitted. “Just quite a strange song and a weird lyric as well.”

Finn went on to explain that "Monday Morning" had “so much singing, and it's really high and it's very hard to sing. It's because there's no gaps in the vocal [to take a breath].”

He eventually told the band, “I don't think I can do that one unless we drop the key quite a bit.” Considering Finn was “blowing [his] voice out every night trying to do it,” Fleetwood Mac opted to drop the song entirely from their set.
