Oh how I wished we had VH1 in Canada. I love reading all the details. I hope you guys taped it, and some one will show mercy on me.

Sweet Jesus! I wish I had seen this! Must catch it next go round.

[frostie]

That show was such a tease!!!! WE WANT MORE!!!!

I am so glad I figured out how to use my VCR and recorded it because I am going to watch it over and over again. I really, really hope they put out the documentary and the Mick tapes. That would be awesome!!! (I've been watching too many of the "I love 80's shows. My high school words are coming back to haunt me. Pretty soon I'll be bringing out my New Kids on The Block tapes!! Just kidding!!!)

[flyfirefly]

I loved it!

I got the impression that...that part that's showing Fleetwood Mac in Japan and Mick is saying something like Stevie was playing around with the roadies and you see her sort of, dancing all over the place, and she comes up to the camera, laughing. Yeah, I got the impression that she might be like that when she was high. Heh. Funny.

[PollyThePenguin]

Much of that "Japan" footage can be obtained from ebay. And it's incredible back stage stuff. But I sure as hell would like to see the entire...what was it? SEVENTEEN hours ? of film from this time period that Mick found. I would have to change my panties after that!

[gldstwmn]

That was way too short. What is Stevie getting so animated about with the "He'll hate it!" thing? I laughed so hard when she said she'd still be swinging her walker at LB when she's 80. You know she means it! Also, for some reason I got teary when she whipped out the original Stand Back cape. I loved the way she looked right into the camera and said something about "all those people who thought I was a witch because I wore black." That black and white segment of him getting choked up and her looking out the window was another teary moment. Low point? Mick in his underwear.

Yes, about 2 and 1/2 hours of the Japan footage is available through a bootleg called "Fleetwood Mac Rumours Tour 77". It circulated as 2 tapes with the Rosebud Video in front. Its an excellent video....

I wonder which song Stevie was saying she just knew Lindsey wouldn't like.
Who wants to bet it was "Silver Girl"?!? *hehehe*

I agree. I read the lyrics before I heard the song and thought they were great. Then, when I heard the door chime opening to that song, I was disappointed. It would have made a much better uptempo song.

Word. LOL. I thought the lyrics were amazing and then I heard the song and was like...eh...not so much...It has grown on me though and I do really like it now. Oh, and did I get all teary eyed like a baby when Lindsey was getting all emotional?? Gawd..those two... i am *so* intrigued by their relationship...it's never going to be over really and I think Lindsey hit the nail on the head when he said this is the opening of closure but not really closure...those two are attached by something so special and it really is amazing to watch them. And yes, I truly do believe that when she's 80, she will be swinging her walker at him...LOL! I was so glad to see John speak too!! And ya know, i'm not the biggest Mick fan but I thought he was pretty funny and I enjoyed hearing him. And I really do think that either Stevie herself or Karen or someone closely connected to Stevie reads the Ledge hence her statements about why she doesn't wear color...lol...I think she caught wind of our BLACK DRESS thread Ahh...Fleetwood Mac/Stevie/Lindsey..how I love thee...let me count the ways I seriously do love them now more than ever after having watched this.

Thats too funny! I thought the same thing when she said this. Hopefully next time I see this on I will not have a skwaking 4 year old in my face, and can catch some more of the dialog! Thank God my grandma called me and told me to turn it on, I had no idea it was even coming on! And VH1 finally did something right, and this is the first thread I've ever read praising VH1 so much!

Sorry if this question has already been answered, I've been gone for a few weeks! Does anyone know when the documentary comes out? I can't wait!

Yep. Hopefully it'll be released though, so we can have a CLEAN copy.. the quality gets worse and worse as people copy it.

Foiled by a button. Of course, I pressed that ONE button on one of my remotes that entirely screws up the taping process. I yakked on the phone instead of watching, then the tape was fuzz. Guess I have to stake out the TV for next time !

[DownOnRodeo]

For those like me who don't get VH1, a recording of the show, although of slightly choppy quality, but perfectly viewable nontheless, is up at tgee's site - http://burnish.net. Enjoy!
(Thanks so much to tgee )

[Bella Figura]

great show, I enjoyed every minute of it...the old footage, the new footage, the Columbus show reheasals...did everyone hear the live version of Destiny Rules??!!!

I, too, had that feeling that somehow, Stevie, may be getting info from the Ledge, she mentioned two subjects we've discussed in great detail: the black dress and the singing of new material. Who knows? it's probably because the Ledge ends up discussing everything FM down to the smallest detail!!!

Like any FM fan, I wanted the show to be an hour but being a 1/2 hour long show is probably better for exposure. VH1 can schedule the show in more time slots and use it as a quick replacement if needed for the rest of the year especially now that the whole FM tour will be doing a second leg in the US.

I am totally looking forward to Lindsey's video, hopefully, he will not pull a Mick and put these precious tapes in his basement.

thanks tgee!!! for putting the video on the Net!!! FM fans rule!! ... I'm mature

[strandinthewind]

Tracy - you rule - thanks very, very much!!!!!!

OK - the time is NOW to release this new documentary CD. It can only help CD sales now and the band is "in" right now. If LB takes six years to release this ( ), there will not as much interest (except for us of course ). So, I say - go ahead and release it NOW NOW NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
