It was pretty much hits. And I tend to not be a big fan of hits and singles.
There are SO MANY album tracks by the Heartbreakers that are perfect -

(All of Hard Promises, A few gems on Echo, etc.)

And what happened to The Waiting? - the best Tom song ever!

You're right ! Maybe he wanted to give it a break. Like he did with Breakdown.

Here's another one... listening to a Portland radio station this morning, a ticket package winner called in to give her review of the show... the DJ asked what she thought of TP and she replies "Oh he was great, it was a great show. The really neat thing is Stevie Nicks showed up and sang a few songs. Everybody was very surprised."

i'm not surprised at all.
if you work a 12 to 14 hour work day or if you have kids - or if you live in a city like me where there is no worthwhile commercial radio, it makes sense that a lot of people weren't aware of Stevie's appearance.
Her name isn't on the tickets and it's not on any of the marquees at the venues.

You have to remember that most of us are obsessed Fleetwood Mac fans.
You're average TP fan probably can go either way when it comes to Stevie.
So - I think it's nice that she's a surprise for most people.

When I saw Tom + Stevie in 81 on the Hard Promises tour it was a complete unannounced surprise and everyone was bowled over. It's nice to know that
it's still happening for some folks.

Mick was there???!!! Where did we see him??

I don't know about you guys, but I LOVED LOVED LOVED Stevie's background vocal on Learning to Fly, American Girl and Don't Come Around Her No More...during which I threw my blonde head around like crazy, as she did!!!!

My friends and I thought she had a little trouble with Insider since it was early and she wasn't warmed up...AAAND, it was cold out there!! Cold in L.A.??!! LOL

We saw Sharon in line picking up her tickets!! LOL We got our tickets from Will CAll and Sharon was in line with us!! LOL SHe actually sat by us LOL We waved to her and said Hi, and she waved back, looking a tad confused LOL

funny because i thought the harmonizing was fantastic on Insider.
i do remember something like a false start in the first verse - but it was a timing thing, which i thought was funny.

But other than that I was really excited by the time they got to the end -
to me it was like the same way I felt when I first watched Silver Springs on tv in '97.
The person I was with hates Fleetwood Mac (and Stevie) and she stood up and clapped and leaned over to me to say that she had to admit that they sound great together.
