Discussing Fleetwood Mac Live (1980)
Should be a good one. Have not watched it yet
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXHru88xq2M IMHO recap: The fantastic Rhiannon - I understand why they used Rumours concert songs. There is no better version of this song than the Rumours tour Over My Head - Another best version of the song from an earlier tour Oh Well - I was never a fan of Lindsey covering older Mac tunes. But thankfully they kept this in the set. The best version of Oh Well IMHO. Lindsey and John on fire. Over and Over - not a huge fan of the album version. This live edition takes the song to another level Sara - I know its touched but its a gem. The first few lines are always sung different. This is my all time favorite I'm So Afraid - My all time favorite version. You even hear Mick moaning in beginning. Chris's organ is haunting. Lindsey rocks this one. Don't Let Me Down Again - another earlier tour classic. Thankfully it made it on the album The good Landslide - love it being dedicated to London. I always loved Chris's solo over the guitar. I just wish Stevie's vocals did not go below a whisper Say You Love Me - really like it but Stevie's vocals are too strong Go Your Own Way - Not my favorite version. It always sounds very raw which is good but Stevie's vocals sort of ruin the song for me (sorry) Fireflies Never Going Back Again The meh Not That Funny One More Night Swing and Miss Dont Stop - my least favorite version of the song. I like all live performances other than this one. It misses the anthem feel and it seems half baked (probably because they were half baked) The Farmers Daughter - I dont get the fuss about this song. Yes they can harmonize but its a horrible song IMHO Dreams - I know I am in the minority but this is my least favorite version of the song. Stevie is trying way too hard to over sell it. Calm down you're not auditioning for American Idol. However there is a reason she is doing this. When recorded at the Paris soundcheck in 1977, Dreams was just released as a single. So the song had not gotten roots yet and she was proud of the song and IMHO over playing it vocally. Wishes I would have scrapped all new songs and Farmers Daughter for the inclusion of The Chain and Sisters. This is when the Mac was still considered a rock band and capturing these 2 beasts live would have made the album stellar.
