The doc!!!

[Livia]

If LB really want to make some dough, why doesn't he release Buckingham/Nicks on CD??? I bet THAT would sell quadruple the copies of SYW, at least.

Lindsey sounded GREAT during World Turning!!

I agree!

This was my favorite clip! Him sitting alone with the mic across from Stevie and the backups.... Buckingham was the ambitious, driving force right through the documentary.. but at the end of the tour practice one night (after he finished WORLD TURNING) Nicks wanted to rehearse another set for the tour. He sexily and sweetly said he was too tired and she didn’t push him…..I liked that.....

I loved this documentary!

I haven't listened to Say You Will much lately - mainly a cut here or a cut there, but after watching last night's doc.. i put the dvd-audio in and I'm on my second listen.. and I have to say.. Lindsey does keep Fleetwood Mac an interesting band..

I'm a huge.. yes, a huge Stevie Nicks fan, but it was Lindsey that made me nod a few times.. i think to him it is about the music and, as he at times seemed anxious, he truly is an artist first. He gets some newly acquired recognition and admiration from me.. I've always loved his music, but I never really felt how important it is to him until I viewed the doc. He gives Fleetwood Mac their funk..

I have to say I roll my eyes when anyone in the band talks about the commercial aspect of the CD and making money so they can support their families. I mean, how much money does this band need?? they should be able to live off what they made for the Dance reunion tour, let alone the $$ from the current tour.. i guess their is a high price for their luxury.. and I do love them. They just seem to go through a lot of money.. :-)

Stevie was precious last night.. and beautiful.. Whether or not she was touched up to look better, I don't know.. btw, don't most women wear make-up to bring out their features?? .. ah.. she was so beautiful..

It's so good to have something new from the favorite band.. and still to come are the remastered cds and tour.. I had put them on the shelf, and it's good to have the Mac back into my stereo.. I sorely missed them.

I just loved the documentary! It really showed them as human and quite funny. There were so many cute parts and amusing quotes! Also, it made me appreciate the recording process even more. Hopefully, there will be a DVD that will have more footage. We can pray anyway. I would love to see the arguements about the track list and running order! I think it was well done, and I really, really enjoyed it!

P.S. We need a still frame picture of Lindsey at the photo shoot.....if you know what I mean! That would be a popular item with many people on here.

Question- did they actually live in that house or did they each have their own places to go home to each night?

Lindsey rolled his eyes very secretly. You're right, they seemed to think it was a real dog.

Huh? Do you think all that gushing they did after it was insincere? It sounded like they thought it was absolutely terrific.

Since I personally think Silver Girl is incredibly lame, I was expecting polite "ahem, that's nice." Instead I got "Keep writing songs like that and we'll have a double album! You go, girl!" etc. I may WISH Lindsey had somehow indicated that he felt the same way I do about it, lol, but I would have to say he certianly did NOT.

Her going "We want all of Lindsey's dreams to come true..."...she sounded sarcastic. LOL

I thought she sounded totally sincere. I found it very touching.

[4Buck]

Nicks WAS being sincere......

Yes. I missed the "adjustments" everyone was talking about. I'll have to watch it one more time! Loved Buckingham's unbuttoned shirt for the photo session, though.....and his unbuttoned shirt singing WORLD TURNING!

And it was so touching when he kissed each of Nicks' hands, as to wish her good luck before they went on stage.
I think she feels protected by him.....It's cute when they walk on stage holding hands.......

[wondergirl9847]

I did not see him roll his eyes. He and the others did seem okay with it and yeah, he said "Keep making songs like that and we'll have a double album." after they played it. I think it's a pretty weak song from Miss Stevie, but that's JMO.

Lindsey has either been comfortable or rich his entire life. He's never suffered for his art. If Say You Will was never released, Lindsey could sit back on songwriting royalties for the rest of his life and live very well.

I see what you're saying, but Lindsey did have a couple of lean years there during the BN days. And as for living very well on royalties - didn't you hear him worriedly talking about the costs of having a family and building a new house?

Lindsey also speaks like someone who's been in a lot of therapy.

LOL! I noticed that too!

Yeppers. He did speak to John about many therapists will tell you that helping others while helping yourself was a good thing. It was during his "Why should things be any different...HA!" LMAO!! When he went "HA!"...I died!! I had seen that part before, but it's just hysterical....the look on his face. BWAH!!

Good lord people, I was not commenting on the fact that LB drove a very expensive car - I could care less how much the car cost. It was the BRAND of car I was surprised at!! I honestly thought he'd be in a Volvo, don't know why!

Secondly, Yes LB drives a very nice Mercedes but it's relative to his status. Anybody complaining about it really should take a reality check. To us it may seem expensive but Lindsey could buy one and have a fair bit of change in his pocket from one nights work entertaining us. Spending $15 on a CD to someone in a third world country would seem a gross indulgence I'm sure, so lighten up...

I didn't realise owning a Mercedes was seen as a luxury in the States, there are far too many on the roads in the UK!

I don't begrudge LB his Mercedes. It's just over here those cars are a sort of status symbol that I thought Lindsey would not be into. Surprise!

Once again, I do not think anyone has aproblem with LB driving whatever car he wants to drive or with him in general spending his money in whatever fashion he wants. I think people, and certainly I, were pointing out LB's wanting to shy away from the mainstream, commercial, money making aspect of FM and instead push the envelope and make what most would consider non-commercial, non-money making music. Yet, he lives in a world of comfort (Mercedes S Class ($80,000 +), a new house in Bel Air where his old one stood complete with a studio (my guess is $5 million), he records a record in a rental house in Bel Air (my guess is $1 million in rent and structual changes from the equipment), takes a year to make a record, charges $125 for 70% of the best seats in the house, travels in a private 727, stays only in suites, flies his family in and out probably on private planes as well (about $15,000 each way on average), etc. These are all the spoils of making a highly commercial record, which he professes opposition to doing and has been professing this same opposition since the making of Tusk The reality is that if he did not make now and had not made then highly commercial records, all of these luxurious recording and touring perks would not be there unless he paid for them personally.

Again, I think its great he can have these things - I am all for it and do not begrudge him in the slightest. I just think it is interesting that he bucks ( :cool : ) the hand that feeds them to him which is commerical success. He could easily have relased GOS on the net or with a smaller label.

Agreed. That was exactly my point. I was merely surprised that he was driving a Mercedes. That's all folks.
