I think Monday Morning was a great first song in the Live album. I loved they released a Live album that year, whatever reasons Mick had. And probably it was one of the two reasons I became a Fleetwood Mac fan. Though maybe I'd have included other/changed few song. Anyway I think was the great way to end a beautiful era (musically).
From Mick's first book:
Back at home, we took two weeks off before going back to the studio for three weeks to record, overdub, and remix tracks for a live album. It was controversial within the band, this record, because I was the only one who wanted to do it. It was not a popular decision. Both John McVie and Lindsey Buckingham thought it was a negative move, but I always bought Greatest Hits albums myself, and I strongly felt there had to be a live document of the band at this point.
.....
Later in the year, we released Fleetwood Mac Live as a double album, and it wasn't a big success. There were many accusations of "We told you so," but I have no regrets.
