Crystal

Storms
Blue Letter
I Don’t Want to Know
Caroline
Save Me A Place
Landslide
Oh Daddy
Sara
World Turning
Go Your Own Way
Songbird

YES!!! Of all bands that could do a compelling acoustic show, they definitely could have. They have enough material that would easily fit that approach.

And all of them would be forced to play or sing without back up.

Something all FIVE of them are afraid to do, for years and years.

I was deleting videos from my phone last night, but the one I kept was Stevie ATTEMPTING to sing Edge, when Keith Urban started playing the guitar riff in the middle of his song. It's awful!

That was painfully awkward and just shows how these guys have all trained themselves to be part of a show and seemingly have zero ability to just jam/do something off the cuff. Was it during the 2013 tour when something went amiss during the beginning of Tusk and Lindsey not only restarted the song, but had to go back to his original mark on the stage and do his little weird Tusk march/walk thing to the stage edge. They train themselves to perform in their little bubbles and they do it well but they can't just jump on stage and jump into a song that they've sung 1000 times outside of the bubble. I guess it's part of being an old fart...

Every word.... spot on. They're so used to the MASSIVE PRODUCTION, that they can't just sing a song
I get it. They're 100. What a way to go out. Sucking.

And before the Rumours era, they were very different. Throughout the years, several concert attendees of Mac 1970-74 shows (especially the 1970-72 ones) have remarked how adventurous the music was, and the many opportunities for improvisation, especially in the drumming and guitar work. In 1972, Mick even remarked in an interview that the band was not constrained by a specific setlist and were not forced to always play their songs the same way.

The progression of their albums and live shows are simply depressing.

You can't really jam when you're playing with karaoke tracks.

Their live shows were all like (the playing of the songs, not the setlists) that until the Tango Tour. That's when FM became boring live. I don't actually men boring, but it's when the spontaneity was removed from the live setting.
