Ditto...!

In general, I wish the band took more musical risks. I was watching the band's 1974 performance of Black Magic Woman (Don Kurshner's thingy) and was amazed at how complex some of the moments were there, how both Welch and Fleetwood were pushing the band to improvise and explore. Some incredible rhythmic shifts in the song, too. While I love the Rumours-era lineup, I think it's clear they try to keep their live shows as simple and as loud and attractive as possible to as many people possible. There isn't a great sense of musical exploration--at least anymore. Maybe with the new album and next year's tour?
