I am just thankful that she MOVES. Even if it is just a tragic pose.
Other than Stand Back and Beautiful Child, I didn't sense a complete vocal and physical commitment in the performance of the other songs in the set. She actually seems to be into those 3 songs. So, I am taking the scraps I am thrown.

I agree. There really are only a few select songs that really get her going onstage these days. Say You Will certainly ain't one of 'em.

That suckers just as dull as Peacekeeper, if not more.

"Rhiannon" just plain stinks in these live versions from bootlegs. Just forget about the damn song... the studio version will always be far superior anyway.

I don't like how "Peackeeper" or "Say You Will" translate to the live scene. I'd replace them with "Thrown Down", "Steal Your Heart Away" or "Running Through The Garden".

"Oh Well"... now THAT should be something like a rule: you CAN'T have a Fleetwood Mac concert without "Oh Well", it's like their signature song; they've always done it. They're losing some of their identity by not performing it.

Forget about "What's The World Coming To", too... and that acoustic "Big Love". Oh, and "Gypsy" is always better in the studio, thank you very much.

I'll stop here.

Song of the moment - Gold And Braid

Can I get an AMEN?

Yeah, well, with our luck, they'll trot that old bitch Mrs. Scarrot out on the stage.

Raising my hand to witness I say "AMEN Brother Chili"

Also, would it kill LB to play Albatross or Man of the World (my personal fav.)

Peacekeeper was made boring so Stevie could harmonize on it. The song in the original key and tempo was much more fun.

If they really wanted to reward us, they could haul out and do "Green Manalishi," but that will never happen in a million years.

HELL, YEAH!!

Here's what I'd like to see swapped out:

Drop Rhiannon for Destiny Rules
Drop Stand Back for EFO
Drop SYW for Thrown Down
Drop WTWCT for Miranda
Drop ISO for Murrow

How do we know that changing "Peacekeeper" wasn't a decision Lindsey made, that had absolutely nothing to do with Stevie?

We all know how he works and works to perfect his songs... so he may not have been satisfied with the 'Gift Of Screws' version, and decided to re-work it.

If Lindsey so desired, they could very easily increase the tempo on-stage, and if he wanted to change the key, they could easily switch Stevie to the lower harmony.

We gotta get you past this "blame Stevie" mentality, buddy.

and might I add (

) that LB sang the Fm version at his Soundstage thingee. He also went back to "only kill" after the single was released. So . . . .

But then, what would you do!?

Besides, I didn't blame Stevie. My comment was silent as to who would have made the decision. You might be surprised to learn that I actually blame Lindsey for changing the song. I'm sure Stevie didn't go up to him and demand to harmonize on it and make him change keys.

Surprised?
