QUOTE (blindwillie @ Sep 18 2007, 09:58 AM)  I have to agree. This is one of the best albums, together with their "white album", from one of the greatest groups ever. Thanks rokchik for reminding me. Great review Rok - if you only ever listen to one Fleetwood Mac album in your life, make it this one! -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

Great review Rokchik.
Rumours has to be one of the top 100 'popular' albums of all time - it's got some great composition and playing. (Steely Dan - The Royal Scam is another top 100 to me - could be a new thread idea here...) Saw a recent recording on BBC of Stevie Nicks and Lyndsey Buckingham in concert - great show and nice to see them back together on stage. Pre 'Rumours' Fleetwood Mac - a special mention for Peter Green. He was the guitar player in the early more blues based Fleetwood Mac before, as Rokchik rightly says, they went for a more California rock sound, is arguably one of the great 'lost' British guitar players. (Lost because he had a drum induced mental breakdown some 25-30 years ago and pretty much lives in seclusion now.) Green wrote 'Albatross' and 'Black Magic Woman' (which Santana also recorded) for Fleetwood Mac and also 'The Supernatural' in earlier days. Green was the guitar player who replaced Eric Clapton in Mayall's Blues Breakers when Clapton left - he was that good. He was once described - I think by Alexis Korner - as 'the greatest British blues guitar player'.

 drum induced - sorry my typo although I've played with a few drummers who have that sort of effect on me...Have to say that Rumours can lift me up when I'm a bit down but can also upset me a bit at other times. Mainly as it brings back some painful memories of a previous relationship... Must be the sign of a great album though - one that can move you and bring back memories  .Cheers, Tony ps - Buckingham/Nicks - they still had a spark between them even now. Lyndsey Buckingham is a really under-rated guitar player. Another great concert in the same BBC series was Dave Gilmour - some great playing. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

QUOTE (tonymiro @ Sep 19 2007, 10:19 PM) Don't think I have seen it Rokchik - I'll keep an eye out for it thanks. Cheers, Tony It's definatley worth checking out. It was the reunion concert they did back in like '97 or something. You tube has some clips from it actually. Here is the version of "Big Love" from that concert. Probably my favourite version of it actually. I also included "Silver Springs" from this concert as it shows Lindseys unique strumming style...he uses no pick...and also I think it really shows the chemistry between him and Nicks with all the looks to one another throughout the song. Plus it's just so beautiful. I just wish they would have done "Never Going back Again" as then they would have done my 3 favourites. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRXWquppKPY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ0QUpEnKw0 |

I remember where I was when I heard the album that preceded this, in my bedroom, came on the radio, "Monday Morning". As each song was played I kept thinking "all these songs are good, this can't go on, no album has all good songs, they put some filler in all of them". But it went on, to my disbelief, all the way to the end.
And even more astounding, Rumors was just as good. I notice no skulls, blood, weapons of mutilation in any of the footer's of comments so far, don't expect to see any, music such as this is only for unsophisticated souls such as ourselves. edit: In the 1996 reunion, I thought the USC band coming on stage was pretty cool. For those uninitiated, not only is USC one of the finest Universities in the world, but they have one of the best Football programs. Needless to say, you don't get into the USC marching band unless you are quite good. I was not aware that the association with USC of Fleetwood Mac came earlier, until I saw this clip. Notice Stevie twirling that baton, quite good. http://youtube.com/watch?v=3FsQHZaqqMQ edit2: when I say "Football", I mean real football, you know, not the girlie man game. http://youtube.com/watch?v=p5L946k9mww This post has been edited by fkalich: Sep 26 2007, 05:13 PM |
