I don't remember how I even heard about the Mirage video(we were way too poor for cable - 4 channels with an antenna), but I've got it on Betamax! I talked Mom into buying beta....I was quite the visionary! I've still got the video somewhere. I'd never throw it away!

Those Q&A sessions were not on Bob’s site. They were on The Penguin, to which The Ledge belongs. I am grateful for those documents. Bob’s were so full and generous, though he was definitely bitter about the RRHOF snub, especially during the first of the two conversations. I remember the Javier Pachecho Q&A went off the rails because Stevie’s fans were upset with the way he portrayed her in his answers. |

I'm trying to remember if Bob's own site had a name other than his name. I can still picture the layout, but that's about it now... Then the old bit*h should come here and see what so many of us lifelong fans think of her these days. $he'd try to buy the board, just to shut it down! $he's a SAINT, I tell you. A SAINT!!!

Yes thanks for clarifying my memory about the Penguin. Funny because Bob praised Stevie on lots of those interviews. She visited him during her Enchanted tour and he was very grateful for her continued friendship. This was less than a year after the RRHOF snub which Mick and Christine were leaders in.
I know he used to sell stuff which also makes me remember another private site. In any event, I was a young fool for not partaking in any of that.

Top 5 for me:
1. The Dance - they made this band cool for my generation and it was one of the first times I felt a musical connection with my parents. I listened to that cassette and the VHS so many times that I can still probably recite the entire thing including all the nonsense banter. I began my love of the band years earlier as a small child with Tango and then in my very early teens when my Mom asked for a Rumours cassette for Christmas one year, but The Dance brought my fandom to a complete other level. I still think Tusk and Don't Stop with the USC Marching Band was one of the coolest things ever. Big Love was actually stunning to see one man make that much noise with one guitar. Silver Springs was truly amazing. And I have a total soft spot for the banjo Say You Love Me. 2. The whole 1997-99 period with The Dance, the RRHOF, Behind the Music, Stevie's tour the following year....it was overload and an incredible time to get into this band fully. There was so much beyond Rumours that I began to appreciate and despite not having a thing called YouTube yet, the internet was a wealth of knowledge and insight into the band. 3. Pittsburgh 3/1/2009 - first night of the tour. I sat to the right side of the stage, had very little insight into what the setlist was, and it was incredible. They were LOUD, a big rusty, and full of surprises (Monday Morning, I Know I'm Not Wrong, full-band Go Insane, Storms, a questionable Say You Love Me, OH FREAKING WELL, Silver Springs as the encore) 4. Christine's Return - seeing them again in Pittsburgh in 2014, when Chris started singing You Make Loving Fun and the audience just went insane, what a moment. And with 4 tracks from Tango played, it was like finally getting a Tango-era setlist. 5. This place. What a completely awesome source of information and laughs this site has been over the years. I lurked for probably 5 years and then started posting in the year leading up to SYW. I never got into the drama and have remained pretty low-key, but I have gotten so much out of this place. |

1984 Christine McVie Agora Cleveland. I couldn't believe how much better the show was than the MTVperformance. They blew me away. I was seated right in front of Christine's grand piano. Which was stage left.
1992 OOTC Tour Peabody's. That show was wild!! Lindsey kept getting his hair sweat all over me. I was a bit drunk so I didn't care. Standing room only. 1982 Buying Mirage for my mom's birthday and never really giving it to her. I played that album so much, I had to get another copy. 1987 Opening up Tango in the Night and listening to it straight thru. 2017 BuckVie Greek Amp with my friends. Explosive show. Sold out crowd was so rowdy and full of energy. I can still feel it. (Of course all the FM shows) So many of them and they run together in my head. I will say one of the best shows I've seen of FM was the BTM tour. Rick and Christine stole that show in Cleveland and the crowd ate it up.

I saw them in Rochester in 2009 and was impressed with muscular performances by Buckingham, McVie, and Fleetwood. Oh Well kicked butt and the retooled arrangement of Tusk was killer. But Stevie seemed lost and disengaged throughout—until Stand Back, where she came alive, only to then recess again into a ghost-like haze. |
