Does Stevie appear in The History Of The Eagles doco?

Yeah, since it seemed most folks here aren't that impressed with the Eagles, I thought I'd offer an alternate perspective.

It always surprises me that there isn't more crossover from the hardcore Fleetwood Mac fandom into the Eagles one. They seem to appeal to the same demographic in terms of casual fans, yet many of my hardcore Fleetwood Mac fan friends don't think much of the Eagles. By contrast, almost all of my hardcore Eagles fan friends like FM. I've always wondered if the Stevie factor had anything to do with that curious divergence, but that's another topic.

I agree with Elle that it's fascinating to compare opinions that were drawn entirely from a two hour documentary by someone otherwise ignorant of the band, as opposed to those formed by fans who, for years, have been reading entire books about the band, watching / reading dozens of interviews with band members, hearing about or experiencing interactions with them, etc. It's quite understandable that the opinions would not be identical.

Likewise, if someone who didn't really care that much about Fleetwood Mac were to form their opinions of the band based entirely on the interactions in the Say You Will documentary, they would probably have a different impression of them than those of us who are big fans. It's quite natural and I don't take any offense at someone expressing an opinion that differs from mine. I'm just offering my own as well.

It's all good.
