Fleetwood Mac Documentary on BBC4

[threebikesmcginty]

Anyone see it?

Even if you don't like their music it was well worth a look just for a film about the whole rock and roll business.

At their peak the excesses were incredible!

Cruel to the LP 'Tusk' which I quite like. As they stated, the most expensive recording budget ever and they produced this. Close up of needle dropping onto record and then the track 'The Ledge'

Great stuff!!

Yes I enjoyed it too, I loved there first two big albums, and 'Tango in the night ' is a nice album too. Buckingham is a very interesting tortured soul and a genius on the guitar. Stevie Nicks has a beautifull voice and despite her over indulgence in the Colombian marching powder is a great talent .
A very enjoyable programme.

Is that the one that was on a few months ago? If so I've seen it, great program.

I know it's a cliché but Rumours is such a fantastic album and easily the best thing Fleetwood Mac ever did, in my humble opinion.

Great docu', it was on the other night, on BBC1 I think. Stevie has a great voice, and Tusk is one of my favourite tunes of their's, must get the album.

 

[Campfire]

Yes, we did. A friend of mine used to know Peter Green, at least she did until he went to live in Sweden I think but she's not heard from him in years.

Fleetwood Mac were only any good with Peter Green - after that it was just a pop group.

Agree about Peter Green but credit where it's due, they became a very very good pop group.

I detest Fleetwood Mac. That may not be fair, but when that horrible Rumours record came out I had a job driving all day around Los Angeles. The tedium of the road, combined with the tedium of the record seemed to be telling me that my life was going down the pan ever so very slowly.

Oh come on dell - Rumours is a great record.
I ought to know because I don't half listen to some rubbish!

when they did the tango in the night tour with messers vito and burnett replacing the departed buckingham, they did a stonking version of "oh well"…

was chuffed with myself when i learned to play the bassline to that one…
