Disco de Fleetwood Mac: “Fleetwood Mac Live”
 Descripción (en inglés) :
Recorded on the "Tusk" tour, October 1979-September 1980.
<p>Fleetwood Mac: Lindsey Buckingham (vocals, guitar); Christine McVie (vocals, keyboards); Stevie Nicks (vocals); John McVie (bass); Mick Fleetwood (drums).
<p>Additional personnel: Ray Lindsey (guitar); Jeffrey Sova (keyboards); Tony Todaro (percussion).
<p>Producers: Fleetwood Mac, Richard Dashut, Ken Caillat.
<p>Recorded during the 1979-1980 Tusk tour, FLEETWOOD MAC LIVE is a 2-disc collection of performances from locations as far flung as Tokyo, Paris and London. This incarnation of Fleetwood Mac was at its creative peak as Lindsey Buckingham, Christine McVie and Stevie Nicks took turns out front with nary a weak link in their respective compositions be it "Monday Morning," "Say You Love Me" or "Dreams." Although the bulk of material played during this tour was from the Buckingham/Nicks era of the band, the guitarist's hard-hitting take on "Oh Well" does justice to the blues legacy of Fleetwood Mac founder Peter Green.
<p>The magical synergy the Mac achieved in a live setting never varied whether they were doing "Over My Head" before a crowd of 14,000 plus in St. Louis or "Dreams" during a Parisian soundcheck. This edict held true as the band played a three-song set of "Fireflies," "One More Night" and "The Farmer's Daughter" before a small audience of friends and road crew at the Santa Monica Auditorium. Of particular interest is the "The Farmer's Daughter," a song that fully exploits Fleetwood Mac's exquisite vocal harmonies and was written specifically for the band by Brian Wilson.

- underrated classic
Most of the live shows tend to be faithful reproduction of the albums. Fleetwood Mac is a great studio band as evidenced by their albums. But don't forget that they are a great live band as well. They don't just try to reproduce the songs' sounds from the respective albums. Familiar songs with new arrangements are refreshing and also challenging to the listeners. This live album include pre-Buckingham/Nicks tune Oh Well, highlighting Buckingham's underrated guitar playing.
Most other tunes are well known ones from their Self-titled, Rumour and Tusk. One song that is not on any other album, Fireflies stands out. On the liner notes it says it was recorded during the sound check. Anyway, it would fit in any of their albums. It is a classic. Another one of my favorite is Farmer's daughter, a Beach Boys tune. Buckingham was heavily influenced by Brian Wilson and here he pays his respect by reworking a little known Beach Boys song. It's spare arrangement (just a bass guitar & drum I think) & emphasis on harmonizing vocal give it an almost mystical quality.
Overall, it's an outstanding album to have in your collection.

- Authentic, Live and Raw Fleetwood Mac, not over-produced
This is Fleetwood Mac. This is the raw energy captured back when they were in their prime. The Dance is pretty, but it lacks sincerity, emotion and energy. Fleetwood Mac Live is an essential part of classic rock history. Live is the only album where you will hear the lovely ballad, Fireflies, said to be about the band members dynamic relationships. 5 personas de un total de 5 encontraron útil la siguiente opinión:
- Buckingham's Best Performances
For Buckingham fans, this is a must have. It is his best performance of "I'm So Afraid". And his other performances have unmatched passion with his voice still in its prime: "Go Your Own Way", "Never Going Back Again", "Not That Funny" and "Oh Well" are especially good. But "I'm So Afraid" alone is worth the price. 5 personas de un total de 5 encontraron útil la siguiente opinión:
- a classic live album from the REAL Mac
without a doubt one of the BEST rock bands alive. I bought the vinyl years ago and recently bought the CD. All the songs are performed excellent. Favorites are: Sara, Never going back again, Over & Over, Rhiannon, Go your own way, I am so afraid, Fireflies and Landslide, which in my opinion is one of the most emotional performances Stevie has done ever, you can listen to the depth and the emotions in every whisper and words from her voice, truly amazing. 4 personas de un total de 4 encontraron útil la siguiente opinión:
- Great CD to bring back memories
I see that people are complaining about the quality. Remember this was a live recording originally released in 1980. I had the Fleetwood Mac live 8 track **Actually I think it was even a double 8 track** for this CD for goodness sake. For the time period and the type of recording available back then, this CD rocks and is a must buy for all Fleetwood Mac fans. |
