Put yourself in Lindsey Buckingham's shoes and write a setlist.

[secret love]

Hi Ledgies!
Before anyone asks no I am not in anyway connected to the band. Just a disclaimer there: I am a simple person and music fan like HelloMonster and don't want my comments being splashed across http://www.fleetwoodmacnews.com
without my permission.


Rather than get angry at Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, I thought what I would do is...do something a little more constructive. It's not as constructive as working on my university Italian and Law assignments. Still, it's a step up the procrastination ladder from "complaining".

I'm aiming to make my thread unique to the other setlist threads on this premise: put yourself in Lindsey Buckingham's shoes. Show some empathy! You are the amazing, talented, maybe even handsome...Mr Buckingham. You can play The Ledge on guitar without using a plectrum or getting confused because it doesn't match the rules you learnt in high school. You are currently somewhere in Los Angeles CA working in a recording studio, or maybe you're just at home with the family. I don't know.

Christine McVie has written some very cool songs lately - Too Far Gone is your favourite. It's "danceable"...reminds you of that time when you and Stevie were still together in the seventies. Good times.

Everyone wants a piece of you...and you're old. None of these people seem to remember how old you are: you're 64, 65 soon. Stevie Nicks is somewhere in Nashville with this odd unshaven character whose music you never really liked very much. Hmmm what's Annie Lennox doing these days?

John McVie and Mick Fleetwood have been playing there arses off, apparently, you think that's what you said last year...or the year before. You're a little forgetful at 64. Just a little. Not so bad yet that you put toasts in the DVD player!

The brief: write the Fleetwood Mac Live 2014 Tour setlist, taking into account the above points whilst still satisfying the majority of your fan base. Feel free to put a few surprises in around the edges but be sure to remember what an "unhappy tour" Say You Will was in 2003-2004. That can't happen again because someone's in your ear saying make sure we don't stuff it up! Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie have left the job of writing the setlist to you but you know there are some songs that they would absolutely love to sing on stage. These must be included as well as the ines that pander to the fans. Now - go!

I think it would work better if I post what I came up with after someone else starts.

Ta, hope you guys have some strong opinions!

secret love.
