I hate The Dance. I think as a band, it was one of the biggest mistakes they ever made - it made them almost has-beens and a novelty act. Christine looks like she is about to hurt someone as well.
It did wonders for Stevie's career though...

My work here is done.


Now, if I could just convince the world that Time was every bit as legitimately Fleetwood Mac as any other album....

I really need to post the LA Times (I believe it was the LA Times) article that I have at home, that discusses how important it was for Fleetwood Mac to re-establish their image to the public, and to reclaim their position as one of pop/rock's supergroups, after "years of replacement members tarnished their image."

The LA Times is full o' crap and only worth wrapping fish in.

Stevie Nicks & Lindsey Buckingham WERE "replacement members", too, ya know.

You know I agree with you wholeheartedly, buddy. I think what makes the difference is that Fleetwood Mac wasn't really a household name in the US before Lindsey & Stevie, and most people didn't really know the band members by name either until then. Their "supergroup" status started with the 'Rumours' lineup.

In the UK it was a different matter, of course.

I guess I have a different definition of "supergroup" than most. To me a "supergroup" is when members of different well-known groups join to form another band. (like CSNY, or Blind Faith, or Asia, etc)

Buckingham Nicks was for all intents an unknown entity when they joined Fleetwood Mac.

Exclamation Not as often...

as many may believe considering the size of my video collection.

Usually I only watch FM videos when I check for errors (Once a QC tech, always a QC tech.) before I send the completed DVD to another trader and/or Ledgie.

As for the officially releases, I rarely (If ever) watch 'em. Last I did was when I decided to see if LIB (Live in Boston) could be transferred to 1 DVD from the 2 DVD's (Which it can)
