Buckingham Nicks Tour - if it happens, what would be in the setlist?

dontlookdown · #1 07-11-2013, 01:20 PM

So it sounds like both Lindsey and Stevie are open to Buckingham Nicks shows next year.
The album runs under 40 minutes, which would make for a really short set.
What else should they play?

I thought it was great that Tom Petty avoided all Heartbreakers songs when he did his Mudcrutch shows a few years ago; but I kind of doubt Buckingham Nicks can avoid Fleetwood Mac songs.
But wouldn't it be great if they didn't do Go Your Own Way, Big Love, Dreams, and Gold Dust Woman?
It would be a great opportunity to play some songs they haven't played in a long time.
I Don't Want to Know, Angel, Crystal, etc.

My criteria for a BuckinghamNicks set would be only songs whose genesis is pre-75 could be played. so they Could do songs like Sorcerer. The only problem with that is it leaves a lot of material for Stevie to do and not Lindsey since she has tons of songs pre-75 that didn't come out for many years while Lindsey's songs are all basically written and then recorded simultaneously. There's no Lindsey vault

So to make thing even I guess Frozen Love will have to have a 30 minute guitar solo.

They should do tunes from their respective solo careers. Lots to choose from!!

I think the rule should be songs written prior to them joining Fleetwood Mac, even if those songs were eventually released by Fleetwood Mac. No solo songs or songs written while they were in Fleetwood Mac.

They would have to play Twisted too. So basically the buckingham nicks album and that.
Not in a gazillion years can I see it happening.

it will never happen due to the simple fact that stevie for whatever ''lame'' reason won't
go back into her past and do older songs. If anything she would maybe do a very simple version of songs she's comfortable with Rhiannon,ect. Maybe Lindsey would play a more simple loose style but as far as stevie's vocal's I just don't see her moving out of her comfort zone.

They have to play the ENTIRE "Buckingham Nicks" album and "Without You".
But the rest of the songs should not be restricted to pre-75.

It would be great if they included some of their collaborations with other singers from the late 70s, for example "Gold" and "Midnight Wind". Lindsey could easily sing the John Stewart lines.
Another great choice would be "Whenever I Call You Friend".

I would also love them to perform some songs from their early solo albums, for example "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around", "Bella Donna", "Trouble" and "I'll Tell You Now".

And they should definitely perform a medley of "Wild Heart" and "Can't Go Back"!

Some Fleetwood Mac gems would also be great! I would especially love to hear "Tango In The Night", "When I See You Again", "Welcome To The Room... Sara", "Book Of Love", "Straight Back", "Make Me A Mask", "What Makes You Think You're The One", "That's All For Everyone" and "Save Me A Place".

they can have only songs that were either BN 1 or 2 (so that would make tons on SN songs eligible, including Secret Love, Moonlight, and WY, right?) and the rest of the time they can fill in with their old-people-rambling comedy act a la WY intro.

guess poor LB wouldn't have too many songs since his most productive periods as a songwriter came much later. so he will need to carry most of the comedy routine!

which could actually work nicely if he has interactive audience.

never gonna happen of course. LB doesn't know how to do a show without NGBA and BL (although he's done without GYOW before!), and SN doesn't seem to know how to do a show without Landslide, Rhiannon (which are both BN anyway), Dreams, or i guess GDW?

or SN can do all her BN-era written songs, while LB can do his newer solo songs? now, that i would go see!!

but good news - no Sara!!

as long as that means only retire from BN or FM, and LB goes back to full-time solo immediately, and indefinitely, i'm good with that. and by immediately i mean 2014.

i'm putting all my faith in SN that she will put an end to all these future BN or FM plans, and fast!

Ha! Have you any dreams you'd like to sell? She was the one insisting per Lindsey they do something for the anniversary and he couldn't see squeezing it into the break.

she was the one who put an end to FM album and FM tour last year and by doing that directly responsible for OMS happening. i count on her to pull something like that in 2014 and Lindsey has to go solo again.
