I hate these vinyl only releases...

I hate these vinyl only releases...

Me too. I still buy CDs.

I'm looking forward to assisted living...

They'd better have a mother fukcing CD player there, or I'm kicking someone's @$$! They're going to choke on their fukcing Cream of Wheat! I'll shove their dentures down their throat, and make it look like an accident! ;)

The only reason I'd buy vinyls nowadays would be for decorate my room, since I don't even have a record player.

What I used to do in the past was decorate my bedroom wall with the long boxes of the old CDs. Of course Rumours was there. I think the White and Tusk too, but the other albums I didn't find them with the long box, just the plastic case.

If you happen to own the 1975 White Album Deluxe Edition (3CD/LP/DVD Deluxe Edition), which was released in January 2018, this live album was one of the three CDs in the package. That live CD also contained "Over My Head" live from 1976, which isn't included with this 1975 set.

I know a few people that listen to records with all the tech and such.

I don't, because I love the ease of travel and streaming from Apple Music.

But this is great for them!

I would love this on CD, but I kind of understand why they've put it on vinyl, though. It's such a great show and got everything at that vital moment- Christine's blues roots, a Buckingham Nicks track, two Peter Green songs, Danny/Jeremy/Bob songs from BT and MTM, five songs from the white album.

I would also love a live CD of all the songs that appeared on the 2014/15 tour, just as a memento.

Tracks 1, 7,8, 9, 10, 11 are in the Fleetwood Mac 2018 Deluxe edition. They combined NJ live tracks with the "Live at Jorgensen Auditorium, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT, 10/25/1975" and "Live at Campus Stadium, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 5/2/1976" concerts. :confused:

Fleetwood Mac scores a new bestselling album in America this week as Live 1975, which was recently part of Record Store Day’s Black Friday 2025 event, launches and proves to be another must-own for superfans of the band.

Unfortunately Forbes, where I read this, made a mistake with one of the photos, which is not of Fleetwood Mac. ;)

Listened to this whole album, (On Apple). What a great concert.

Maybe this isn't the perfect thread for this post, but I've often wondered why they never brought back Why to their live setlist at some point. It's such a beautiful song with the drama FM does so well baked into the lyrics and music. It features a lovely lead vocal and the three-part harmonies that the fans always ask to hear. Also, it would suit their voices in any era, as they could easily adjust the harmony.

Just speculating, but perhaps it's for the same reason that some mentioned in Stevie's forum about her not singing Angel again after the first show this year. Not well enough known among casual fans.

It's a shame. Why and many other songs deserved to be heard live.

agree with wishing they had done it more. Not sure I agree wit would suit their voices in any era....Stevie sang the high harmony on it on tv and by the Rumours tour the high end of her range was shot.
