For those lucky enough to have actually landed themselves tickets for Fleetwood Mac’s forthcoming world tour, there’s another treat in store with Stevie Nicks promising that they’ll be playing a rarely performed track.
The group haven’t played ‘Sisters Of The Moon’ for more than 30 years, but Nicks let slip details of their planned set list during an interview at SXSW.
Speaking to Billboard after a screening of In Your Dreams, a documentary about her last labum of the same name, she said: “I’m in rehearsals with them [the band] now. We go from ‘Go Your Own Way’ to ‘Sara’ to ‘Never Going Back...’ to ‘Landslide’. This time we’re actually doing ‘Sisters Of The Moon’ which we haven’t played since 1979 or 1980.
The singer also said that band had plans to perform a 24 song set, but that their going to have to work hard if they’re going to fulfill her promise by the time the US leg of the tour kicks off in April.
“I’m sitting there going, ‘Oh my God, we’re only halfway through’,” she said.
“We have 12 songs to go and we’ve been playing for six hours!”
Some fans have shelled out hundreds of pounds for a chance to see the band
Nicks also spoke of her voice, which she’s kept in great condition since finding a vocal coach in 1997, and said she intends to continue performing into her 80s.
“Opera singers plan to sing into their 80s. I plan to not be doing 190 shows when I’m 85, but I do plan to be out there singing when I am a seriously older woman. I think my voice will still be pretty good because I’m not gonna let it go,” she promised.
Last month Fleetwood Mac announced an extra two dates at London’s O2 Arena. They will now play September 25 and 27 as well as the already-announced show on September 24.
