Sure, the "rock & roll ballerina" thing, with all of the twirling and scarves, was probably a little more "fluff" than they were comfortable with, but it added a visual element that helped prevent the proceedings from being just a standard run-of-the-mill rock concert. So when coupled with the sublime music they were creating, Stevie's image was one of the things that propelled them to "supergroup" status. Any artist that hits it big, owes their success partly to their music and partly to whatever image they project. And no matter what the most erudite of critics might think of you, it's the buying public that decides your fate. It's just the way it goes, and I've never understood fighting it or bemoaning it. The funny and ironic thing is, these days Stevie has toned all of that stuff down, while Lindsey has amped up his own stage antics!

The Reseda show was not a part of her tour. It was a promo for her album & was broadcast later on MTV. She was trying to promote her new album. That's why most of the songs from her new album were on the video plus a few of her Fleetwood Mac hits. She did vary the set list for her later tour. She even did a few songs from the Bob Welch/Fleetwood Mac years. I agree about "Hold Me". That song was better on her solo tour than on the Mirage tour. I would have preferred to see "Hold Me" on the video instead of "World Turning". I liked her show from her tour better than the video. But, I still don't find the video boring. I'm biased, but I don't find anything boring about Christine McVie. Last edited by macfan 57; 06-23-2004 at 06:24 AM.. |

I blame the director of the video. The cameras, lighting and sound were pretty average. This show was not boring per se, it was the presentation.
On a side note, (this is too funny) when LB did his OTTC tour I saw him in a lounge! It was in Cleveland called Peabody's! I love LB, but he is always putting his foot in his mouth. Even now he does. But he is a damn fine guitarist! It was a great show! When he left FM he claimed they were stale and he had to do all the work. When Chris left FMac he claims they now are able to do what they want and it's refreshing after 25 years. When Stevie did her solo stuff he made various comments about her stage show and the way she writes. IMHO he's resented the fact that he is always outsold by the other two's work (moreso by Stevie), so he will qualify that he is a better musician. I wish I could fail as miserably as he has!
