You know what, though? If I Sing For the Things made it on her set list, there’s a ray of hope for No Questions Asked!

I put the chance at exactly 0%. She’s not unearthing any Fleetwood Mac songs in her solo set. And she’s definitely not bringing something out from the 1988-90 era of the band. I’d put this firmly in pipe dream territory.

Your logic is sound, but on the other hand, I would have said there was 0% chance of her performing I Sing for the Things, too.

Besides, maybe Stevie will fire Nick and Mike and bring Billy and Rick back into Fleetwood Mac! If that happens, there’s no question No Questions Asked would be asked, eh performed.

I wish it was done in 2018, but I gather that song nor BTM stuff and Paper Doll weren't touched because Billy and Rick weren't asked to join in 2018.

And I'd bet money NQA will ever be played live by Stevie. I think there's a better chance of Angel, I Don't Want to Know and Crystal being done live in the next 10 years.

I bet she has no memory of No Questions Asked. It was written peak klonopin addiction and slapped on a greatest hits album she really had nothing to do with. She does not even perform songs from her own album in 1989 which was released 6 months apart from the Greatest Hits album.

Exactly this. First, that era of the Mac was forgettable to most everyone INCLUDING the band itself. Those 10 years from 1987-1997 are simply glossed over aside from The inauguration. Stevie in particular hates that timeframe. It’s been 20+ years since she performed Rooms on Fire live. Seven Wonders only was resurrected briefly because it caught on with the youngins with American Horror Story.

No Questions Asked will forever be relegated to an obscure song on the GH album.

Which is sort of sad because I still liked the music they put out. I love that BTM did not embrace the current pop trends. This morning on a rock station they had a brief conversation about Fleetwood Mac. I did not catch the beginning so I dont know the context why they were talking about them. But the conversation was after 1980 the band went light pop for commercial success. BTM sort of bucked that trend. I would love to have a conversation with Lindsey about this. He did not want a Rumours 2 where craft was not important just make and play the hits. Post Tusk the band did just that......make pop friendly radio friendly pop hits. Was that not what he wanted?
However to put it in context......Mirage was a over reaction to Tusk and Tango was a half decade absence and needed to get Mick out of bankruptcy. So did they sell their soul to do it? So while people want to forget 1990, I appreciate they went on in their own way bringing back some original elements.

I don’t disagree that there is a low probability for NQA being played live especially solo. But there are two positives that I can think of that keeps it from being a 0% chance. First Stevie had it added to the Greatest Hits release which originally had Paper Doll being her contribution to it. So I believe she had some pride and optimism that this was a more worthwhile (and commercially viable) contribution to the GH album package. Second the GH continues to sell so more and more people are at least familiar with it. So I think there is a small outside chance that it could have a shot.

I wish your positives were something Stevie would consider but I don't think Stevie has ever played bonus/compilation add-on tracks on a tour; I guess The Dance could be an exception though.
Rumours seems to always be selling but she never does I Don't Want to Know!

1. Violet and Blue
2. Sable on Blonde
3. Your Hand I Will Never Let It Go

The first two of these and Imperial Hotel as the third.

Imperial Hotel and Mabel Normand back to back as the opening two songs would either leave the audience with their jaws dropped or droves of people heading to buy beer and pretzels!

Mabel Normand I get—but I’ve never understood why Imperial Hotel is so maligned. It’s up, it’s rocking, she sounds vital on it. The one moment on RAL where I can hear and enjoy her old self...

The harmonies are good on it. I would love to hear it live. But there's some speaking in tongues/ranting on it.

I think No Spoken Word is probably the best song on the album.

1. If You Ever Did Believe
2. Nothing Ever Changes (always thought this would be an incredible opener: "If it’s me that’s driving you to this madness!!")
3. Sable on Blond
