Everyone followed the brass band around the town, and I thought, ‘What a good idea!'” “As the day went on, they got drunker and drunker. “I was in a room in the town square with a horrific hangover, and I was woken by the sound of the local brass band that relentlessly went round and round the square,” Fleetwood told British GQ in 2015.
The idea for bringing a marching band onto the song was the brainchild of Mick Fleetwood, who was inspired by a brass band he’d heard outside a hotel room in Barfleur, a fishing village in northern France. This DVD is as close as it gets.Still a ten for me.40 years ago today, Fleetwood Mac teamed up with the USC Marching Band and recorded the bit for the title track of their 1979 album TUSK that everyone remembers. Would see them again tomorrow if they were here. What a concert!!! And 2 encores later LB was still stealing the show with his guitar solos. Saw these guys live last week with Lindsay Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, Jihn McVie and of course Mick Fleetwood. Christie McVie's encore "For You" has to be heard to be believed. As this concert goes on it has the effect of turning it up just a little bit more after each song until you get to the band's finale. The songs in this concert are so much a part of our lives today we take them for granted.
Stevie Nicks voice is as beautiful today as it was 20 years ago. For a divorced couple, both John and Christie McVie put aside their differences to deliver an electric performance and Mick Fleetwood just superb on drums. Lindsay Buckingham is just brilliant on lead guitar. Most of the others have either someone missing from the lineup or members appearing on stage and certainly not enjoying themselves as they do on this one. There are several DVD's out there of Fleetwood Mac but none of them measure up to this re-union concert.
