Fleetwood Mac Documentary on BBC4

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

fair do's - you did prompt me to look at this live recording of 'Go your own way', which is probably my least favourite of the ones that got played on 1580 KDAY morning noon and night

and it's not all bad. There's intent, although more intent than on the studio version. It's just sort one-paced - featurless. Or am I missing something?

Probably not - I know it's only rock and roll but I like it!

The documentary highlighted the breakdown in personal relationships within the band during the recording of Rumours and this made for some 'intense' tracks.

If you want really deep and meaningful music it's best to look elsewhere but more than 40 million people have bought Rumours since 1977. Doesn't mean it's great I know but it must be doing something right.

Or am I missing something?

I think so. Beautiful tunes but you have to listen closely to hear just how technically brilliant that music is. The drumming on rumours is outstanding.

White man plays the blues....

That's better - that's actually a Duster Bennett song, and the original version is fantastic.
