What did Fleetwood Mac ever do to deserve that?

Okay, they did a lot of coke and Mirage isn't much of an album, and they do charge an awful lot for tickets, but that was just unkind.

    harmonies good, but the rest was dire .......... I have no idea what those who thought the whole song was good were listening to .......

    They should have sung 'Big Love' instead though ......

    I used the word 'crucified'. Most of the performers were untalented screamers tonight, but these two deserve to be prosecuted for the damage they did to a classic song.

    It was from Rumours, not Mirage :p I agree with you though, although I sort of agree with radiofan - the harmonies were bearable...just.

    I said what did Fleetwood Mac do to deserve that and suggested it was revenge for the album Mirage.

    In a world that exists only in my head, Twinnie Lee and Max auditioned as a duo, got through to lives and did a decent cover of this...

    He is one of the founder members of Fleetwood Mac. well before Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks et al.

    That is asking for it. Peter Green was the founding member of Fleetwood Mac back when they were a British blus band. His best songs however were the instrumental Albatross, the melodic Man Of The World and the rockers Oh Well and Green Manalishi.

    People who think they're clever like to make a point of that era of Fleetwood Mac being superior to the Buckingham Nicks era. Personally, other than those songs I've mentioned I'd take the later pop rock group every time myself.

    Sorry Vauxhall. The tinnitus after that show is probably affecting my reading comprehension. I'll be OK by morning I hope.

    /smacks ear

    EDIT: Oh gods, Albatross was the direst of dirges. I love Black Magic Woman though.

    It wasn't as bad as their version of A Little Time, to be fair.

    By which I mean it was still bloody awful .

    Makes me appreciate Lindsey Buckingham & Stevie Nick's voices more after that atrocious version.

    I don't know what most of you were listening to... if you want the record, play the record... it was a bloody sound performance

    don't agree but, more importantly, what was it for? What market are two ageing hippies with a folk bias going to tap into with eighties re-treads?

    A sound performance of what exactly? It wasn't "Go Your Own Way" as I remember it. They sang a completely different tune for the most part. It's one thing making a song your own and it's another to change it into some tuneless version which wouldn't pass as music in a thousand years.

    It was crap and a crime towards Fleetwood Mac fans.

    the only way it was a sound performance was in the sense that it was (unfortunately) audible to the human ear.
