🎧 Fleetwood Mac, “Rumours (Live)”. Archival release from Mac’s magic summer of 77, flying high on the success of Rumours and Peru’s finest, the 70s cocainiest band sounds like they are jamming in Tony Montana’s home office. Stevie is so high its premature self-parody. I dont know what the fuck is happening in Gold Dust Woman but I’ve heard it better at karaoke. Christine’s songs are the highlight. But what do I know? I spent that entire summer listening to KISS’ Love Gun.
the WORST incarnation of Fleetwood Mac. Ever!
but sales were astronomical...
so there's that.

You know, you can take the boy out of the blues but you can’t take the blues out of the boy. Unless, you move him to LA, shower him with coke and say “we want you to meet this couple…”. In all seriousness, they DID have great songs. But yeah they stopped being Fleetwood Mac the minute the needle dropped on “Monday Morning”.
@MPCavalier
They took a deep dive into band dysfunction and made the $$$.
But... yeah... They 100% nailed the pop format and made it their own.
I mean.. even the Bob Welch years were more appealing to me....
