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.  |
I so agree with you! Believe me I was THRILLED to know that Lindsey was back in Fleetwood Mac and if it took something such as a money maker like The Dance to put him there, so be it. But, Live showed the band for what they were in a real concert, not a preconceived idea for an MTV special. Speaking of MTV, they didn't play much of any FMac from about 1991-1996. I felt they were hypocrites for being able to make money off a band they hadn't help promote in years.
