I don’t disagree. At all. But the reality is that DDIO is an iconic hit, and it’s probably the last song Neil sings that will get cut.

From what I’ve heard, Hypnotized sounded fantastic. It still gets a moderate amount of airplay (especially on Sirius XM), and is a lot more interesting than Neil’s take on Monday Morning or Second Hand News.

It was amazing. Glad I saw it. I also heard the original on Classic Vinyl on Wednesday.

That said, Neil does a great job on MM and SHN. I just don’t think they need both songs in the set (I prefer his take on MM over SHN, FWIW.)

Replacing it and Storms with Gypsy is so predictably Fleetwood Mac.

It was the hit and is a bit more dynamic. Glad I saw Storms, since I skipped the 2009 tour.

Oh yes please!

I can also see why it replaced "Storms" (which I adore, but it is a slow burner) and "Gypsy" is more of a crowd pleaser. But, can't the band put "Hypnotized" back in the set? Or cut "Don't Dream, It's Over" instead? Thanks for posting the videos.

interesting choreography to have Mike come and play by Stevie at the end. Neil walked over towards Mike and it looked like he was wanting to jam with Mike but Mike was clearly focused on Stevie and Neil stepped away. Not in the script, dude.

Huh? If anything, Mike goes over to Neil at about 3:34. All Neil did after Mike came over was step away from the microphone, since he was done singing.

Does EVERYTHING have to be overly dramatic around here???

I dunno. I just made a comment about the end of a video. There were no screaming caps and multiple punctuation marks in my post.
