John...

YOU ROCK!

Thanks so much for posting those videos.

Now, about the actual performances...

I have to say I was actually a little underwhelmed with "Believe Me" and, in general, Weston. Of course, with "Believe Me," I'm probably comparing it too much to the 1974 "Record Plant" performance, where Welch absolutely played the SH*T out of that song. "Miles Away" was pretty good. Overall, the band seemed to lack a bit of energy/spark, and Welch's guitar wasn't in the mix enough, while Weston was too much in the mix. I loved John's '51-ish Precision Bass (aka the Tele Bass).

"The Bigger The Love" clip was good. The chorus was a bit odd. I liked how Bekka sang the minor and diminished notes, though I think it would have been better if Bekka and Dave sang the backing vocals in a way similar to what was done on "John McVie's Gotta Band." Still, it put a smile on my face (at least until I began to wonder why they chose not to put it on the album).
