Took them 35 years to get this one out, I'll be long gone by the next one :) But... happy with this!

Exactly! It kinda kills me to hear all of these so clear..the article mentioned some (if not all cities) that they pulled from for the reiussue. I compared almost the first half of the live reissue to Nashville..one I believe from Oklahoma. And the quality is exponentially improved.

Why not release every city if whole shows are just chilling in the FM vault?!

Almost done listening..at GDW now. The end is KILLER. I haven't matched it up to any version I have. Anyone know? I've heard my fair share of GDW's from this era and others..and I must say this one really impressed me.

listening to these live tracks..
 
makes me miss Christine. "Songbird" is gorgeous and makes me a little sad that I'll never hear it performed live again - such a perfect closer for a Mac show.

And how Chris, Lindsey and Stevie harmonized so uniquely - 3 distinct and different voices - but so beautiful together.

Just 5 players on stage... the fireflies.

I miss this Fleetwood Mac.

It's great to hear these recordings cleaned up and out officially. It would be nice if they reissued an entire show rather than a highlights disc.

Intro + Tusk riff + Monday Morning = PERFECTION!!

Really? It sure didn't kill me. Well, actually listening to it almost did put me to sleep. Why does FM play GDW so wimpy?? This is one of the wimpiest versions I've ever heard. Where's the jam at the end?? The only decent live version I've ever heard from FM was the Japan 1977 version. And Philly 1977, I guess. I'm sorry, but FM just can't play GDW, it's just so DEAD. After Stevie sings the tag, it just fizzles, but what's worse is that it stays that way until the end. You can't even really tell when it's over; you have to listen for the complete silence and then maybe it's over. Even Stevie's current solo band plays it better. And even the Sound City show band was more faithful to the album version and jammed the end. I actually stayed awake and was moving around for that band's version.

We might have to just agree to disagree then :shrug::o I think for the most part, Rumours era performances were so hypnotic and varied compared to the most current versions. So I would agree with your Philly and Japan picks obviously!

My words can be a bit dramatic I guess sometimes, haha but by 'killer' I would most accurately describe that as trance-like or hypnotic. So, for me, I was captured by it! To each their own..but there were later '78, and even '77 performances when her voice was weak/cracking and couldn't hit/hold the wails. That's another reason why I was impressed by the strength..

Also, DEFINITELY agree with the switched up performance at Sundance. I loved that rocking tempo, even if some of her vocal quality had to give for the energy!

so..
 
did I mention how much I love "The Chain."...

I can't wait until Tuesday when Amazon.com delivers my "Rumours" deluxe.. I want to hear this music on my ipod.. not the stream...

p.s. hey, Fleetwood Mac. release more stuff.. we know you have it.. and us fans want to hear it!

"Oh Daddy".. nice inclusion on this set.. "I'm so weak, but you're so strong.." I miss Christine.
