More Thoughts, PLS READ

Hello All

Once again, just trying to make some conversations go on here, it’s been kind of boring lately

Random thoughts, please reply

Fleetwood Mac (1975) & Tour = Great record, sounds a tad dated today, and the tour was a great success

Rumours (1977) & Tour = nothing to say, classic on all ends

Tusk (1979) & Tour = You know, the dang thing has sold over 4 million double albums ( I think ) so im sorry, it wasn’t a bomb, and all though it’s a difficult listen for the average listener, I do love this album. I can’t believe critics, some of them, bash this record. Its dang good. The Tour, I always laugh that the band lost money on this tour. I mean, they played sold out venues everywhere, but I guess when you are racking up a bill that is so large, what you expect. Honestly, from a performance stand point, this period is FM at their best, in my humble opinion. Loved GYOW On that tour

Mirage (82) & Tour = The album is extremely dated, however a nice listen, but very dated, and yet I was always amazed it sold more than Tusk and was and is a #1 album, I am impressed with the sales since I don’t think it’s very strong, but nonetheless a nice listen. The Tour, I find it amazing that FM only toured for like 2 months , I mean, they were still easily one of the most popular acts in 1982, and yet they choose to not go out on the road much. But, im sure they’re people booked them at big venues and got paid bank. Just amazed the tour was so short

Tango (87) & Tour = I still love the album, had plenty of legs, 7 million strong, and I love the videos so much. Yes, its dated somewhat, but love it. The Tour, well, I am a LB fan first, and I give them credit for sticking to their commitments and going through with the tour, I am amazed at how popular the tour was overseas as it was , I’ll admit that was a shock

Behind The Mask (90) & Tour = well, I don’t own this garbage of a album, I think I did for 2 days and threw it away. I mean, Christine’s tunes are listenable, but LB is so missed from this, however I will give it credit, this album was a good seller outside the states, and the tour did well away from the states. I don’t think this tour did much in the states, but I’ll give it credit as a very nice try without LB

FM Live 1980 – it’s ok, nothing special about this live album

Time (95) never heard it, never will. Tour was a embarrassment

The Dance (97) everything about this album and tour was great. I remember that album flying off the shelves and the Dance all over the TV. Loved the Brit awards, couldn’t stand the Grammy performance, I hate medleys

After the dance, for the life of me, don’t know why they didn’t keep the momentum going

Say You Will (03) strong album, you all know my thoughts on the sales, and the Tour was very good and very profitable

Unleashed (06) I’ll admit, I didn’t see any shows, and though the tour was profitable, I lol admit this is the one and hopefully ONLY time they kind of sold out as a oldies act


Love all of LB solo albums, OOTC is my best

Stevie = well, honestly I never understood her SOLO stuff, it is really crap to be honest, if you take away her 1st 2 records, she really hasn’t sold anything nor been relevant on the charts, I mean, I just think her best days are far behind her
