Yep, all problems that I'm aware of myself too. Let's face it, Fleetwood Mac fans of the days of yore (when we're speaking of the Rumours line-up) were hardly akin to the enthusiastic tapers of Grateful Dead or various jazz ensembles. There might not have been truly anal retentive, foam-mouthed tapers & concert collectors in the FM fan community and while that has obviously saved people's nerves, I personally would've preferred it that way than the way it is now. Ah well, I was born 25 years too late anyway.
