Well in my defense.... the CD is Live in Boston, not recordings from different cities (like 1980 Live). So yes.. it could be watching the sunrise over Atlantic ocean. But HEY! concerts are at evening.. not at dawn!!!

Yes.. I'm just rambling

I suppose it's OK for a live album, but not creative in any way. Did an intern prepare this cover art? I'd bet the band wasn't even involved. They were probably given proofs and just waved a hand in approval.

For what it's worth, I don't own this album. Never heard it. Not interested. There could have been a studio album immediately after this tour instead of another live album. Just how many live albums does a band lineup with only 6 studio albums over a 38 year period need?

Lamest most thoughtless cover ever. Goes hand in hand with the tourbook. Lets just cash in as opposed to giving it any real thought. It's not even arty. I would say I think that's what they were going for...but no.no one was thinking here. I'll stop harping on it now. I always forget about it, til I pull the cd out or there's a thread about it. lol

well, we are referring to the CD right?

I always think of LIB as a DVD, which is good and well worth the purchase. and yes, I hardly ever (mb twice) listened to the CD with it.

I worked for a design firm and Fleetwood Mac was brought in to design this album artwork and tweak their logo. Sadly, it was scrapped as the band was being SUPER cheap, cheap, cheap. Lindsey was the one who thought it all was a waste of money and was a pain to deal with.

The cover is awful, I've seen nicer bootleg art. That light spot is absolutely the worst.
