Recent? The Dance is nearly 15 years old and LIB came out over 7 years ago. There's nothing recent or over-saturated about that.

Rush manage to release a new live DVD every single time they tour. I don't see why FM couldn't do it. That said, Rush do change up their setlist more than FM and tend to have a large portion from their new album.

Still, FM could do it and I'd still buy it! I though the Unleashed tour had a good (though slightly unadventurous) setlist and some great performances. It'd be good to have a video document.

Any more actual news about this rumored EP w/Dave Stewart?

Sure but they've had Test for Echo, Vapor Trails, Snakes and Arrows and soon Clockwork Angels in the same amount of time FM did SYW. And you're right Peestie they do 3 hrs of a new set list every tour.

Sadly, yes that's EXACTLY the case. The last three things to come out of Fleetwood Mac are two live albums, neither having too much new to offer, and a studio album, which had two previously released songs. Given their lack of diversity in their sets, I don't really see the need. Judging by LIB, all we'd get is new songs on DVD, NOT CD with a bunch of old songs we already have. Do we need another live version of "Dreams" or "Go Your Own Way"??? Because, that's EXACTLY what we'd get.

When Rumours sold up-teen million albums, this outcome was fated.

Okay, but "Second Hand News" was on "Rumours", too.

Here's what was on the LIB CD, and why I tend to hate most of it:

1. Eyes Of The World -Good choice, actually.
2. Dreams -Fleetwood Mac Live; The Dance
3. Rhiannon -Fleetwood Mac Live; The Dance
4. Come -GREAT choice
5. Big Love -The Dance
6. Landslide -Fleetwood Mac Live; The Dance
7. Silver Springs -The Dance
8. I'm So Afraid -Fleetwood Mac Live; The Dance
9. Stand Back -The Chain
10. Go Your Own Way -Fleetwood Mac Live; The Dance

Here's what it SHOULD have had:
1. Eyes Of The World
2. Peacekeeper
3. Second Hand News
4. Say You Will
5. Never Going Back Again (full band version, very different from FM Live)
6. Come
7. Say Goodbye
8. What's The World Coming To?
9. Beautiful Child (criminal in its exclusion)
10. World Turning
11. Don't Stop (different with Stevie)
12. Goodbye Baby

It would've been different enough from Fleetwood Mac Live and The Dance to make it worth everybody's time.

I agree with ya... LIB is, for me, sub par to The Dance. I think LIB should've showcased the bands current line up and their strengths without Christine.

I absolutely agree. The live version is stunning and I wish it was on the CD. I keep meaning to rip the audio actually.

Now, about David Stewart producing, because this has turned into another "oh noes they didn't do wut they shoulda" thread.

Sadly not much has changed during my two years off.
