I'm sorry but I'm against this. Alot of this stuff (rehearsals, conversations, etc.) wasn't meant to be shared w the general public. Most master reels out there got out there because they were stolen or illegally copied and distributed. I know these "behind the scenes" glimpses are highly valued but there's alot of pain and feelings of hurt and betrayal that go along with them. Please be sensitive to that.

There's quite a bit of "behind the scenes glimpses" that have been captured besides master reels... have you seen a lot of the stuff that's been going around for years?

Of course it violates privacy, but nothing more than a limo conversation or any candid pics.

Do others feel this way too? By all means, delete this whole dealio if it's too insensitive to people.

At least they're getting shared amongst fans of Stevie and Fleetwood Mac, therefore we can appreciate the hard-work and effort that when into making these. Of course it's probably a raw issue to Stevie, but I think all of us consider this to be a privilege and understand the importance of these reels.

Thank you Alexa, you always have the best stuff to share!

I always thought it was Lindsey, Mick and John with Stevie clunkety clunking it out and piano. Go ahead and speculate. You know you want to.
