They know they're good but they haven't a clue what's about to happen to them as the band crawls out of the chrysalis once again. It really does express the past, present and future of the band like no other performance I've seen.
It's got nearly everything for me- the nods to Peter Green (through Oh Well and the Green Manalishi), Danny & Jeremy ( Station Man), Bob Welch ( Hypnotised), and Christine's Blues roots ( Get like you used to be). Stevie's Rhiannon is terrific and Christine delves into Bare Trees and Mystery to Me for her numbers. It's a shame she didn't perform one of her four new songs, but it's only an eleven-strong set so there's not that much room, I guess.
I only wish a better quality recording of the show would turn up, without "FOR SCREENING ONLY" appearing on the screen throughout.
Anyone else feel the same?

After the newly discovered 1975 Passaic show I forgot for a bit how much I loved this show.
I've always openly desired that Fleetwood Mac would release special re-editions of all their older albums including a DVD of one of their historical shows.
A reissue of the white album with:
- a CD of the soundboard of the white album's rehearsals
- a Cd of outtakes (just think about the buckingham-nicks material played by all of the 5 members)
- a remastered dvd of the Capital Centre show
that would be my dream.
P.S.
Here are two videos of Rhiannon and I'm so afraid with slightly higher quality and the annoying lettering edited out:
