I'm pretty sure the 1990 tour opened with SYLM and then The Chain for the first shows and then In the Back of My Mind/The Chain for the later shows.

I like the idea of using it as the first song of the encore. I think that's the best spot. It's a great opener but it can get repetitive. When I saw the show Sunday night I really loved Monday Morning as the opener. Awesome way to start the show.

I believe that at some point later in the Behind The Mask tour, they entirely dropped In The Back of My Mind. I like the song, but it sucked for an opener.

I like the idea of Monday Morning as the opener, since it is the first song on both Fleetwood Mac, and The Very Best of.

But I also really like the beat of The Chain as the first sound you hear.

"Monday Morning"!

With the current setlist, the show opens with the first song on the first album of the B/N line-up and it ends with the last "hit" -- 1997's "Silver Springs"!

Perfect.

i voted for The Chain
because i like how it meshes as an opening track for the Mac and Stevie uses Outside the Rain
also, i suppose it's a staple, and i'm used to it and i liiiiiiiiike it

Monday Morning, from what i've heard this week
sounds pretty good too tho

GYOW should be the closer
WOAH everyone would be so pumped
