DVD Reviews of Classic Albums - Fleetwood Mac - Rumours

DVD Review: Great Condition
Summary: 5 Stars

I am a huge Fleetwood Mac fan and was very happy that I found this album. It works great!!!! I am also amazed by the service and how caring they are. I will be buying from them again!!!

DVD Review: A great addition to any Fleetwood Mac fan's library
Summary: 4 Stars

Let's be truthful here. If you're a Fleetwood Mac fan; seen the interviews on television, read the magazine articles, etc., you will probably not glean much more information off of this DVD.
However, you may pick up some new information. For instance, most of the information fans have gathered over the years has been the "emotional" aspect of the band's Rumours period. What this DVD brings to the table is more of a technical aspect of making one of rock's greatest albums.
Oh! and for the record: "Songbird" still makes me cry.

DVD Review: Great
Summary: 5 Stars

I really loved the documentary. But I felt like it could have been a little more juicier. I was led to believe that it was a lot of trash talking about each other. That is was gossip at it's best. I found it to be quite truthful. Stories about each band members experiences in the group. It was just simply, the truth. No lies. It wasn't alway's wonderful times. I guess it just wasn't anything I haven't heard before. But, it is still great to have for my collection of Fleetwood Mac music videos, documentries, etc.

DVD Review: Great Overview of the History Too!
Summary: 5 Stars

Besides being an interesting and wonderful description of all the songs on Rumours,it turns out that this DVD is an overall great summary of the history of the band and the relationships of it's members. I've sent it to a few of my friends who are attending the 2009 Unleashed tour - seeing Fleetwood Mac for the first time - so they can appreciate what these songs meant to the members in the band and what was going on behind the scenes at the time. It includes fantastic filmed performances from the 70's of each song and the band members really open up in telling the story behind this amazing album and everything that was going on around them at the time. There's no doubt that, after watching this, you will be seeking out their other DVD's (and I still can't believe that the Tusk Documentary and Mirage Concert have not been re-released onto DVD!!!!!) The VHS copies still around are worth finding!
Current recommendations: "Destiny Rules" the behind the scenes making of the "Say You Will" album - the last CD released by the band. Also - Live In Boston - both are longer in length than other concerts available from other bands - Highly recommended.

DVD Review: Excellent behind the music documentary
Summary: 5 Stars

This comes from the great "Classic Albums" series and is a fantastic look behind the making of Rumours. Featuring interviews with all band members and their producers you get a real sense of the turmoil and creativity that went into each song.

From the conception of many of the songs to how they became layered, completed mixes, I love hearing each songwriter's story. There are a few performances such as "You make loving fun", "Dreams" and the "Chain" but this is not for you if you just want to see live performances. Nevertheless this is a great doco,

Description of Classic Albums - Fleetwood Mac - Rumours

One of the most popular albums of all times, Fleetwood Mac's 1977 album "RUMOURS" spent 130 weeks on the U.S. Billboard album chart and won the Album of the Year award at the 1978 Grammy Awards. It has been certified for sales of 19 million albums by the RIAA.

The record almost wasn't made. John and Christine McVie were in the process of seperating, the relationship of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks was on the fritz, and the turmoil between the five members was high. These emotions were channeled into the songwriting process in Sausalito, California that became "RUMOURS". Featuring interviews with Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, and Stevie Nicks, along with the studio engineers and producers, "Rumours - Classic Album" tells the story of the making of this smash album.

Featuring the smash hits "Dreams", "Don't Stop", "You Make Loving Fun", and "Go Your Own Way", along with oft-heard tracks "Songbird", "The Chain", and "Gold Dust Woman" Fleetwood Mac's "RUMOURS" is a Classic Album.

Oh, the heartache. Oh, the drug intake. And oh, the sales records they did break. It's all here in this 70-minute, 1997 chronicle of the making of one of pop music's biggest albums ever, Rumours. All five members of Fleetwood Mac's most successful incarnation are interviewed, and their comments are even more candid than the confessional songs ("Dreams," "Go Your Own Way" et al.) on the album itself; descriptions of the torturous process of making a record while John and Christine McVie's marriage and the Lindsey Buckingham- Stevie Nicks liaison were breaking up at the same time makes for compelling, if slightly discomfiting, viewing. Meanwhile, lest one forget that Rumours was terrific as well as revealing, plenty of attention is paid to the songs. Particularly fascinating (as with most Classic Albums packages) are the breakdowns of the separate instrumental and vocal components of individual tracks. A great tale, wonderfully told. --Sam Graham
