Probably would have been best for the momentum of the show. When the set would venture into Buckingham territory with Neal (is that how you spell his name?) on lead vocal, it felt peremptory (is that the word?) — “we’re doing this song because it conveys the impression to at least some of you that we’re really still the same Fleetwood Mac whose fourteen remastered greatest hits albums you probably own.”
But then I think back over all the covers of LB’s stuff, and there isn’t very much of it that interests me. Even the Camper van Beethoven redo is only intermittently interesting to me. (The
idea is great, but the
execution is not.) Maybe Matthew Sweet’s “Second Hand News” is good without making me in any way forget the original.
