That is why we don't get the product we know is out there that we want: DVDs, remastered CDs, unreleased stuff etc... Much smaller bands give so much more to their smaller fan base.

I now realize that certain bands (certain members) that are involved and enagaged -- not only in the production of products, graphic images, etc.. -- but also their fan base provide their fans with far better product in general.

Like family, I love Fleetwood Mac, but they annoy the hell out of me.
I see your point.

I'm surprised (and I say this with love) that the "money whore" of the band (Mick) isn't all over stuff like this. He seems to be one always pushing these sorts of things.
