But for a bunch of 50+ rockers, these guys could give the Stones lessons in performing rock tunes. Maybe it's the 90s, and all music has more of an 'edge'. It was just more MOR AM fodder, one song sounding like the next - musically induced stupor while the real bands were playing on the 'rockin' FM station somewhere. I never really like the studio cuts from this band. The big reunion concert, from a few years ago, of the battling and estranged members of Fleetwood Mac - concert apparently first shown on MTV. Personally I love RUMOURS and TUSK, but there's just something about this live show that puts it all in perspective. If you must own one Fleetwood Mac cd, dvd, or video-make sure it's this one. His guitar work is amazing, proving he is one of the best and most underrated guitarists of all time.
It's a classic breakup song.one might even call it the 2nd part of "Go Your Own Way." Lindsey's put an amazing spin on his 1987 tune "Big Love." I like to call it an acoustic masterpiece. New tunes include Stevie's AWESOME "Silver Springs" (another Grammy nominee).
Watching these 50+ rockers belt out the tunes shows they haven't lost their edge a bit over the last 25 years. Other hits like "Dreams", "I'm So Afraid", "You Make Loving Fun", "Gypsy", "Go Your Own Way" are played effortlessly and beautifully. "The Chain" even garnered the Mac a 1998 Grammy nomination for best rock performance.
It's one of my favorite songs of all time. Haunting reverb and his custom guitar simply spit out this tune. The show starts off with the classic Mac tune "The Chain." Lindsey Buckingham has put a new spin on his guitar riffs for this one. The restored vocals of Stevie Nicks, the aging yet awesome voice of Lindsey Buckingham. This DVD is as close as it gets.Still a ten for me. Would see them again tomorrow if they were here. What a concert!!! And 2 encores later LB was still stealing the show with his guitar solos. Saw these guys live last week with Lindsay Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, Jihn McVie and of course Mick Fleetwood. Christie McVie's encore "For You" has to be heard to be believed. As this concert goes on it has the effect of turning it up just a little bit more after each song until you get to the band's finale. The songs in this concert are so much a part of our lives today we take them for granted. Stevie Nicks voice is as beautiful today as it was 20 years ago. For a divorced couple, both John and Christie McVie put aside their differences to deliver an electric performance and Mick Fleetwood just superb on drums. Lindsay Buckingham is just brilliant on lead guitar. Most of the others have either someone missing from the lineup or members appearing on stage and certainly not enjoying themselves as they do on this one. There are several DVD's out there of Fleetwood Mac but none of them measure up to this re-union concert.
