Pinch of salt, but had a night out with a friend who works in a publishing company who are doing a book for Fleetwood Mac due out end of next year. They've been told to include them headlining Glastonbury next year.

I know it's not super solid, but my friend is normally super reliable and doesn't really bullshit. So I'm working on the assumption of Fleetwood Mac headlining next year...

So...fancy letting your pal know that I'm just about to finish my book on the Forrest Gump run and need a publisher? @Woffy @Quark and @Gnomicide will buy a few copies each I'd say! ?

I might be interested. I'd want a signed one, mind

What? No freebie?

[Gilgamesh69]

Thing is, we all talk about Fleetwood Mac as being the "big one". As in one of the few major bands still going that has yet to play Glastonbury. But I mean... would they really be that good?

No but there would be 30,000 sad sacks holding back the tears when McVie warbles away to Songbird.

No Lindsay means no acoustic Big Love or Never Going Back Again. It wouldn't be as good as it could have been with Lindsay.

[Hugh Jass]

Saw them at Wembley a couple of months ago and they were good. Would have been better with Lindsay and it sagged a bit in the middle (the ten minute drum/bongo solo from Mick was something I could have lived without), but overall good. If they cut some of the excesses out they’ll go down a storm.

Look at this for a first 8 songs...

 

1. The Chain
2. Little Lies
3. Dreams
4. Second Hand News
5. Say You Love Me
6. Black Magic Woman
7. Everywhere
8. Rhiannon
9. World Turning
10. Gypsy
11. Oh Well
12. Don't Dream It's Over
    (Crowded House cover)
13. Landslide
14. Hold Me
15. Monday Morning
16. You Make Loving Fun
17. Gold Dust Woman
18. Go Your Own Way
19. Encore:
20. Free Fallin'
    (Tom Petty cover)
21. Don't Stop
22. Albatross

Shame there's no room in there for Man Of The World. My fav Mac jam

[Hugh Jass]

One thing is impossible to deny... Stevie’s pipes are still fantastic.

[CaledonianGonzo]

You'd be getting the drum solo regardless of whether or not the Buckster is in the mix.

Yeah but he might tone it down a bit.

If nothing else it’s a handy break to go for a wee and hit the Cider Bus.

I find I have a certain amount of grudging respect for someone like Mick who just says "fuck it, I'm a miserable old curmudgeon, deal with it"

[Matt87]

Didn't Mick briefly manage the band, which led to bankruptcy? I recall something about each member having a personal limo wherever they landed. Proper rock n roll.

Those first 8 songs might actually be the best run of songs ever to be played at the festival. Can't think of anyone that would top it. 

[Slugy]

Not sure if its because I was obliterated or because I lost focus but I do not remember the drum solo at Wembley or IOW, I am going to go with the former but at least its a good time to get a pint.

Ouch.  Couldn't go in 2014, and never looked at Metallica's set at all as I knew it'd be a kick in the chops.  That is a glorious run.

What did they do about Marianne Faithfull's vocals for Memory Remains?  Did she rock up for a guest spot or did they just backing track it?

They backing tracked it.

Whiskey in the Jar is a load of cobblers though

Maccas 04 set has 8 in a row bangers everywhere you look.
