After 17 Years Fleetwood Mac Heads Back to the Studio in VH1 Special Documentary Presentation - 'Fleetwood Mac: Destiny Rules' Premiering Commercial Free, Sunday March 14 at 9:00 PM*

VH1 and VH1 Classic Will Sponsor Fleetwood Mac's 2004 Tour Set to Kick-off

In May

NEW YORK, March 5 /PRNewswire/ -- When Lindsey Buckingham decided to record his solo album, he never knew it would result in reuniting Fleetwood Mac after more than a decade apart to record their latest album Say You Will. This creative process is captured in a 90-minute documentary, "Fleetwood Mac: Destiny Rules" premiering commercial free on VH1 Sunday, March 14 at 9:00 PM.*

Featuring exclusive interviews with Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood, "Fleetwood Mac: Destiny Rules" exposes life beyond the stage and chronicles how the legendary band faces the challenges of remaining true to their art while trying to produce an album that portrays the timelessness of Fleetwood Mac, without the fifth member, Christine McVie.

And this was not an easy feat. Tensions rose between the band members, particularly among former lovers, Buckingham and Nicks. Ultimately, however Fleetwood Mac overcame their differences to do what they do best - make music.

VH1 and VH1 Classic will sponsor the second leg of Fleetwood Mac's North American tour. The tour will kick-off on May 8 in Madison, WI and make stops in 34 cities throughout the summer. A complete tour schedule can be found at www.vh1.com or at www.fleetwoodmac.com.

Originally formed in 1966, Fleetwood Mac had their breakthrough success in 1975 with the line-up of Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, John McVie, Mick Fleetwood and Christine McVie. In 1977, the band hit the top of the charts with one of the biggest-selling albums of all time, "Rumours." Always known for their rocky relationship, the band briefly went their separate ways during the 80s and then reunited to perform at President Bill Clinton's 1992 Inaugural Ball.

CompUsa and SBC (Southern Bell Communications) are sponsoring the commercial free premiere of "Fleetwood Mac: Destiny Rules." Viewers can go online to http://www.vh1.com for the latest information about the band including upcoming tour information.

Already got the DVD/VCR combo. I just need to set it up to get it in gear for the 14th.

guess I'll have to trade for a copy since I dont have access to VH-1...But with what I have coming in next week trading shouldn't be a problem.

...that when you get all excited from watching L & S slug it out in the studio and have to run to the bathroom before you explode -- you're gonna miss something good. I much prefer "limited commercial interruptions" than no breaks at all.

Also, my fear with them broadcasting 90 minutes of uninterrupted documentary is that we'll never see the commercial release of this. Let's not forget the Tusk album radio broadcast fiasco... Between this board and other sites I've seen countless "Set your VCR" notices.

I'd much rather have my own pristine copy on DVD, part of a 2-disc set with the Soundstage special show.

Yeah, right.

Just my 2 cents... But am I excited about the show? OF COURSE!!!

Given that most of the footage I've seen is widescreen (letterboxed), I would think this was always intended for a DVD and fully expect to see one within the year. It wouldn't make sense not to. Plus, haven't we always been told that both this and the Soundstage show would get a DVD release?

Remember, "The Dance" aired on TV before the DVD release.

I fully expect an expanded version of this on DVD. Please, to those in charge: don't disappoint.
