Great songs, but I don't see them adding another solo song to the set, especially as a finale.

felt peices! Hmm..I'd love to hear "Go Insane" ...I don't really care what they end with because by the end of a show, I am ready to leave. (it's the truth)

Go Insane is amazing, but I don't need to hear it and Bg Love in the same set again. And I'd prefer a closer that includes the whole band.

Should I know what Veet is before now?

I'm almost as lost as the time you guys mentioned Ambien and I thought it was booze.

I think any BN song would work, or even Twisted. It's solo, but at least it's everybody.

When did "Farmer's Daughter" become the closer for their show? (I assumed the Tusk tour.) Has that always been their closer since then, or did they just revive it for the Dance tour?

I remember becoming a fan during The Dance and then heard it on the Live 1980 album, and figured it was always their closer, aside from Songbird. It's an interesting choice, because I thought that it was never released, hence no one would know it and that'd be a weak point to end a show with. But, I think it's the perfect song because it features everyone in the band together in a soft moment.

Yeah, I believe Farmer's Daughter was just in The Dance, wasn't it? Was it even in much of the Tusk Tour? I thought the Live album version wasn't even from an actual show.

Yeah, I think The Chain works just as well at the end.

But then again, I just don't see Chain fitting in anywhere except opening or closing the show, it just wouldn't work in the middle of the set in my opinion.

Oh, I wouldn't mind Dreams being moved to a fresher spot.

No way, I say keep The Chain. It's an anthem.
In fact, I'd love for Stevie to sing Fireflies & dedicate it to Chris.

I just think that The Chain's come to represent the music period of F-Mac, not necessarily the Rumours line-up/chain sticking together.

Interesting.
I think the song is about the five fireflies, but it's fine for any of them to play it in the absence of another as a sort of tribute to their bond.
