At This Point, What Song Should The Shows Close With? (*POSSIBLE SPOILERS*)

darklinensuit · #1 05-29-2004, 11:57 PM

IMO Don't Stop should be one of the songs to be dropped. I didn't hate it on the earlier legs, but there are better songs to use. IMO Stevie & Lindsey should stick to their own songs rather than Christine's at this point. I'd love for them to close with Frozen Love, Seven Wonders, Crystal, or SOTM.

What do you think would fit as the last song on this leg?

I think that keeping Don't Stop in there is a smart move, and not just because it gets everyone clapping and dancing to the shuffle with big smiles on their faces... But because so much of the audience became fans from Christine's songs, I think that they owe it to the fans to at least play one.
Seven Wonders, I wish! They did a great job with it on the TITN tour.
Frozen Love and Crystal would be great... for us crazy fans.

Well the shows don't close with Don't Stop, they close with Goodbye Baby. I think Storms would be a good replacement for Goodbye Baby though.

If I'm not mistaken, GB was dropped on this leg.

I thought they closed out their show with GYOW and GB, and I love Don't Stop, too bad Christine doesn't realize the legacy she should remain apart of, but anyhow it is a Fleetwood Mac song, not just a Christine McVie song.

Agreed, but IMO so are a lot of other songs they might do. I still say if they need to change a song, it's DS (though I know others would prefer Dreams or Rhiannon).

I believe it was only dropped from the first couple of shows, and then returned.
In fact, I think it returned when "Destiny Rules" disappeared.

Personally, I like that Lindsey & Stevie are doing "Don't Stop." It's hard for me to imagine anyone else singing Christine's songs... although I know it's always been a part of Fleetwood Mac's history to continue performing songs by former members. But I think that, of all of Chris' tunes, "Don't Stop" is about the only one that someone else can get away with singing. And maybe it's because Lindsey was already singing the co-lead on it.
Same with "World Turning."

Stevie wrote "World Turning" not Chris, she was just one of the lead in vocals. I never really cared about Christine's songs, at least not to the point I was disappointed with Fleetwood Mac, I saw Fleetwood Mac minus the line up of Stevie, Lindsey, and Christine, with only Mick and John the founding members, and I still felt the magic of those songs, I guess it just all comes down to the roots of a band, and the passion of the music.

Thanks for the update. I haven't read the reviews/setlists since early in this leg.
I think there are other Chris songs that would work, and whether changed or not, I'd sooner see a Chris song not used at the end. JMO.

I'm all for honoring Chris, just with a different song and a different place in the set. JMO. But you're right, much of the crowd does enjoy the song.
