Unleashed: The Hits - Tour Setlist? / CD Tracklist?

[michelej1]

This old article came up in all the news clippings on FM today (there were almost 200 of them). Made me laugh. We should find that audience that hated the new songs in the set list 30 years ago and torture them for the legacy we have been forced to live with ever since.

Today's task--not that they're in any hurry to get to it--is to run through the set list for their upcoming reunion tour, beginning in mid-September. It ties in with their terrific new retrospective album ""The Dance,'' out this week, which itself supports an MTV special of the same name, which received the kind of promo hype usually reserved for bands a fraction of Fleetwood Mac's age. Christine offers up a game plan. ""We'll start with "The Chain' and see how far we get,'' she says cheerfully, referring to a cut on the band's landmark 1977 album ""Rumours.'' ""Dust off a few cobwebs.'' Fleetwood eyeballs a bulletin board on the wall, where song titles are arranged in tentative working order. He seems downright pleased by the set's nostalgia-heavy bias. ""I remember we played a show when "Rumours' came out, opening for that band--what's their name?'' He misremembers a lyric: ""Ghosts in the wind--right, Kansas! It was one of the biggest gigs we'd done at that point. We thought we'd created the perfect set list. Did almost all new material. Well, it was noticeably a disaster. The audience didn't know the songs. We never did that again.''
