By Steven
Format:Audio CD
This 1980 live album from Fleetwood Mac comprises some performances recorded five years before and others from the 1979 'Tusk' tour. It is, perhaps, a little eclectic, and will strike more of a chord with the more dedicated fans of the band. Whilst the track listing includes several renowned Mac songs - for instance a powerful rendition of Stevie Nicks' Rhiannon, and energetic versions of Monday Morning and Say You Love Me - there are some 'new' compositions which range from decent to forgettable. Also, at times it would seem that the choice of recordings was rather odd - on Landslide, Nicks is barely audible, and Christine McVie suffers a similar fate on what starts out as a promising rendition of Over My Head.
Nevertheless, as opposed to 1997's 'The Dance' which was a very polished affair, the listener gets the feeling that this album has really captured the Rumours-lineup at its live, creative, frustrated best. Lindsey Buckingham dazzles as usual with his guitar work, and Nicks and McVie both contribute beautiful vocals on the majority of tracks. All in all, compared to their peers and today's bands, this is a marvellous glimpse into an act which can really entertain and thrives in a live atmosphere.

A brilliant double CD with 4 songs not available on any other recording (Fireflies, Don't Let Me Down Again, One More Night and The Farmer's Daughter.) There are also some different takes on other songs, in particular Oh Well with tremendous guitar work.
The price is more than usual but I have to say it's money well spent for an avid "Mac" fan.

This two-CD compilation of Fleetwood Mac's concerts during the late seventies, early eighties is an interesting, if not entirely successful record. The arrangements are close to the original versions of the songs, but many of them are performed with a lot more energy than the originals. Over My Head and Don't Stop, for example, are both improved on. There are also a number of new songs, which are all strong in their own right. However, some of the versions of the songs could have been better picked. There are better live versions, for example, of Rhiannon than the one that is used here. There are also a number of curious ommissions : The Chain, You Make Loving Fun and Gold Dust Woman are all noticeably absent, and Tusk is probably under-represented. Perhaps it is now time to re-release this album with extra tracks so that you get a more comprehensive view of this group at their peak.

A must for any die hard Fleetwood Mac fan. Enjoy Rumours with a different twist and performed live, when the group were at their best. Brilliant.

This release is definitely not a 2004 issue so the description on the website is incorrect.If you check on packaging for the "Rumours" compilation re-issue by Fleetwood Mac you will see the difference. But i will keep it as is sold at a cheap price.

I did have this on LP then CD and lost both somehow. Bought it now for the third time. No wonder the band are still rich. Love this album.

when I first listened I was somewhat disappointed with with album not being as exciting as I expected however it still has a thril factor.
Albeit some tracks of Lindsay's are not my taste..
christine mc vie tracks appear lifeless but good quality.
Some good "new" (to me) tracks ie fireflies and the "oh Well" track
A longtime fan said he was disappointed in some tracks but enthralled with others which just about summed it up for me
Overall a good buy

Might be great but the sound is DREADFUL!
I don't think I've ever been so disappointed in a live album. How on earth can Warner market this rubbish? The band are amazing as usual, but frankly this is unlistenable.

Very poor sound quality
I sent the first back and then got a second also going back as both were unlistenable in terms of quality of the sound same it is probably the best mac live album around

Excellent...ish
For a band as big as Fleetwood Mac with an album as big as Rumours, one would imagine an accompanying live album to capitalise on their success and potency as a live act. Read more
