If were in his shoes, I would find it very annoying hearing fans beg and request anything, especially for new songs that are so far from being finished and released. It shows little respect for how he planned the performance.

Consider, with some sensitivity, that Lindsey is a perfectionist, and not one who would loosely abide to requests, and perform songs off the cuff. Some artists are amiable to it, but that goes against his established character and work ethic.

If, by a long shot, he did perform a new song, he would have prepared for it. It's his choice, not some objectionable audience member. It would be unprecedented if a new and unreleased/unfinished Fleetwood Mac song made it's debut as a Lindsey Buckingham solo song.

The best I would hope for is if he took stock in his solo work, with a good sampling from all of his solo albums -- songs he hasn't performed in a while, or has never performed. You would think he'd want take a breather from all the songs he's been performing with Fleetwood Mac, and do something special and unique. But I would bet money that Big Love, I'm So Afraid, Go Your Own Way, Never Going Back Again, I Know I'm Not Wrong, and Tusk will remain as the mainstays in his set.
