This deserves it's own thread. These players are the real deal, all of them.

Mick Fleetwood on drums, Mcvie on bass, Christine on vocals/keyboards, Stevie Nicks as lead singer, and the underrated Lindsey Buckingham as an AMAZING lead guitarist.

You have to watch these people in action to appreciate their skill-sets.

F*#king amazing...(I'll post video shortly))

If you don't own "The Dance" on dvd yet, yer uncivilized....

As an audio-production person, I have to give this a A-rating. Not only is the audio production awesome, but the video is too!.

Must buy. Fleetwood Mac, 'The Dance'. You will like.

Let's not forget Peter Green.

Mick Jagger said that when the Stones were on tour and checking into hotels, to avoid getting mobbed they would always sign the guest register as... Fleetwood Mac.

Sooo ooo ooo overplayed. You'd think they were the only band around the past 40 years. Albatross is about the only decent song of theirs I've heard. The rest is pop.

40 some years ago I had a tee shirt made up that said
"FleetwoodMac" on the front and "Stevie Nicks makes my tongue hard"
on the back.

Wore that shirt till you could see thru it.
It disappeared right after I got married, never to be seen again.

I've been a big fan of them since the 60's.
Christie's voice is 10 times better than Stevie's ever will be.

A wonderful album from 1969 with them playing with a bunch of blues luminaries is Fleetwood Mac - Blues Jam in Chicago

All due accolades to Peter Green, but it's important not to forget Daniel David "Danny" Kirwan's contributions in the second guitar slot. He was the absolute master of the T-bend.

Myself I prefer the older Fleetwood (nothing against Buckingham/Nicks)

Here are a few of my favorites:

Some bob welch-era

Peter Green-era

Definitely preferred the prog-rock/blues based style over the poppy (yet catchy) tunes they produced later on.

Stevies vocals have done nothing but~~~ GET BETTER! A rarity for sure.

Arguable.
Actually straight up false, but if you're a fan it's just great to see her still performing.

Christine McVie is a gem. She's quite cute too!

I first saw them in New Haven. They opened for Jefferson Starship...

Somewhere I have "The Legendary Christine Perfect Album" on vinyl. Between when she was with Chicken Shack and Fleetwood-Mac.

Another vote for pre Buckingham Nicks Mac.

Bare Trees is one of my favorite all time albums.
