I may be in the minority, but I hate the canned stuff. :shrug: The Landslide hug/temple kiss, the Silver Spring stuff, the Tusk dance. Not that it's not cute, but eh.

Agreed. It's way overplayed. Why can't Stevie and John flirt for a change? :p

Yeah. Poor John only gets a look during the (canned) GDW moment. :laugh:

That part urks me. Stevie blocks John's view. It's his moment...she should have backed off a bit. :o

I like that part, she makes him smile and he's so cute :)

Romy

argh he's like a freshly baked cookie, you just want to eat him up w/ that sheepish little grin of his.

According to him, it's the beginning of the song to the end that "gets him off". Don't know if Stevie's antics contribute to that... I suppose they could. :D

-Lis

yeah, I SUPPOSE!!! :laugh:

:xoxo:

I despise it.

Precisely :nod:. Moreover he is straightforward, loyal, sensitive, talented, self-ironic, with a great sense of humour and the ability to cook: I'm fascinated by Mr. McVie. :cool:

Romy

Do I sense some competition?? Back off Romy. He's mine. :laugh:

No but really, he is an interesting guy. It's the mix of the dry humor and the sensitivity that gets me. And the way his eyes can communicate so much, very expressive.

I got the new John Mayall DVD, and there's recent comments from John (McVie)as well as a 1969 snippet where he talks. Wow, can you say 'delicious'...he was adorable, and his voice was higher back then LOL.

-Lis

No. I actually think there was something there and that they both were feeling it. That was the infamous tour where Lindsey wanted to get back together but Stevie didn't right? Or so the "rumours" go.... Anyway, I think that was real energy on stage that night, that kind of intensity is hard to fake, or, it seemed unfaked. I don't know. All I know is that I was mesmerized when I saw it and became a huge fan of this band because of it, not just the Stevie/Lindsey connection but because of the intensity and emotion of the song, Stevie's performance of it, and just the sheer magic it created on stage. It was Brilliant! Faked or unfaked...

:( Okaaay Lis, I'll behave... I'll try at least. :angel: ;)

I totally agree. There aren't many men who can talk about themselves so openly and sincerely as he did during Behind The Music; he has all my respect.

What's the title? I have a friend who loves John Mayall, it would be the perfect present for him, and I want to see that snippet :D.

Romy

He must be a great guy! :thumbsup:

Romy

Mother of pearl, almost everything he says in the Behind the Music thing kills me. It's like for every word he says, those sad eyes are saying a thousand more.

The Mayall thing is called "John Mayall: Godfather of the British Blues" and it's really very cool. I tell you, for 70, that man looks fantastic. His career has been just amazing thing. There are interviews w/ Mick, John, Mick Taylor, Eric Clapton, Mike Vernon (who also looks great!), Mayall's older 2 sons, and even Mayall's first wife who has got to be nearly 70 and looks 20 yrs younger, still clearly just as much a bohemian as Mayall is. The whole thing is filled w/ people who have aged really well IMO!! it covers his move to CA, the 'Brain Damage Club' at his Laurel Canyon home (where John, Chris and Jenny Fleetwood went skinnydipping LOL) and how it burned to the ground, argh the man literally lost every material possession he had. Horrible.

Anyway if you get it for your friend, Romy, you may want to take a peek at it also. The 1969 footage of John talking is short, but worth seeing for his sexy 23 year old self. :thumbsup: And at the end of the documentary John says how his life would have been very different if not for John Mayall. Long pause. And you can see tears welling up in his eyes before he jokes that he'd still be dealing w/ drunken Irishmen in the tax office. ;) Oh I'm such a sucker for sensitive men....*sigh*

-Lis

Thanks a lot for the info Lis, my friend would love it :nod: . And obviously I'll insist to watch it immediately with him mostly for the John snippet. :D

Romy

Actually I forgot to mention that also on the DVD is a 1969 black and white documentary called Turning Point which was done on Mayall-- that's where they got the footage of John and Peter Green (who also looks really handsome and sounds heartbreakingly 'normal' as he discusses Mayall-- and his speech is really easy to understand, oddly, as usually the strong cockney accent throws me.)

But anyway, the DVD has TWO documentaries on, that's my point. :)
