See? That's exactly why I
*DO* love Live '80!
It's a raw snapshot of a moment in time... even if it does show boogers in Stevie's nose, or John McVie's armpit stains
. Everything FM ever did in the studio was polished up to a blinding sheen. Give me some grit. I don't need 400 backing musicians to 'fatten' up the sound... I wanna hear FLEETWOOD MAC! Not Fleetwood Mac plus Carlos, Brett, Steve, Taku, Neale, Sharon, Mindy, Lenny, the 126 piece USC Trojan Marching Band, etc etc etc.
