I extracted, messed with and edited the audio from the video file. Keep in mind that the audio isn't that great with it being compressed from the source video and everything, but it's better than nothing, right?

Thanks Matt! Anyone know how to grab the video file? My usual method (keepvid.com which works good for YouTube) doesn't seem to work on this)

Got it w/Firefox, thanks again Matt. :)

I think I like Billy more (as well as Rick Vito) outside the context of Fleetwood Mac.
They certainly filled the gap in the group for the time Lindsey was absent, and it increased their public profile, but it must have been very constricting for them.

At least Rick was able to channel the blues era of the Fleetwood Mac, which is right in his groove. But both he and Billy had to somewhat rein in their unique personalities and musical interests.

Case in point: "When the Sun Goes Down" was the kind of song in which the disparate styles of Rick and Bill came together beautifully. It was the perfect song to feature and establish them as members of the band. Yet they were able to perform it only a few times in concert, and then it was inexplicably dropped from the set. Clearly, in hindsight, they were merely placeholders.
