I can well remember buying this way back on vinyl and then buying it as an expensive CD import from HMV in London in 1990. Actually this CD version is quite unusual in that it is two separate jewel cases with separate covers, artwork and track listing, rather than the conventional double cd jewel case.
LIVE remains a big favourite of mine: if I could only bring one 'official'(ie non bootleg) Fleetwood Mac cd to a desert island I think that this would be it, if only for the fact that it is taken from the three tours -'75, Rumours and Tusk tours and, as such , offers a good selection of the material played at these shows.
However, I do have my nit picks and they are very straightforward ones:
IMO three song should have been left off:
Not That Funny- never liked this indulgent song
Never Going Back Again- much prefer a version from the Rumours tour with John and Mick(like Sin City or Nashville '77 versions)
One More Night - just a filler.
In place of the above I would have included :
Station Man -White Album Tour
The Chain -Tusk Tour
You Make Lovin' Fun -Tusk Tour
Highlights for me:
Monday Morning (powerful opener),Say Yoy Love Me, Oh well,Over my Head,Fireflies and the beautiful Farmer's Daughter ( delighted to hear this on The Dance tour)
I actually burned a single cd leaving out my three nitpicks and this is what I listen to now instead of the full double cd version.
