DVD Reviews of The Mick Fleetwood Story - Two Sticks and a Drum
DVD Review: Fascinating look behind the drum
Summary: 5 Stars
(Written by Karen T. Fahel) I have been a fan of Fleetwood Mac from WAY back...I'm talking Peter Green. I had read Mick's book and have read and/or watched a number of articles. This, however, was very in-depth. Hearing Mick talk, seeing the places he has written about, and the people (his sister, his MOM, his 2 older daughters and the elusive Greenie) was more than I bargained for. I really felt like I was sitting with him over a cup of coffee. I highly recommend this for any fan of Mr. Fleetwood.DVD Review: It's a keeper
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok, despite what other reviewers said, if you keep in mind that this DVD -- although released much later than Mick's autobiography -- is basically the video representation of that autobiography, then it's right on cue. It's about MICK, and it's about Mick up to the time the autobio was written (with the exception of Mick's admission to now being sober and the pic of his infant daughters). It's not going to have interviews with Dave Mason or Bekka Bramlett, or the Vito / Burnett years because that came AFTER the autobio, Folks.If you're looking to see Stevie hit the high notes on "Stand Back" or seeing Lindsey finger pick a guitar like no other, this is NOT the dvd for you -- buy a performance recording instead. If you're a Mac fan interested in Mick as an individual and if you're interested in the band history, you'll find that here.
DVD Review: Never Thought I Could Not Like Something By Fleetwood Mac
Summary: 1 Stars
There is so much potential for an incredibly great story here....Mick's life, his daughters, high friends, jeesh....even Christine is interviewed a lot here, not to mention Peter Green......wish Jeremy could have been part of this.....and why not talk to the later-day Macs like Dave Mason? Even the best licks and lyrics are thin.....ok so they got Stevie singing silver spoon at the right moment (duh!), but there were so many opportunities for really great segments from the old films and tracks......the band is always about the music and there simply wasn't enough of it to make this a great DVD. Is is worth it for the serious fan? Of course it is, which is why I can recommend it, but if you are looking for insight into the band I would suggest starting with the Dance DVD first.....it's somewhat biographical and definitely not the same as the CD.DVD Review: One of the better Fleetwood Mac related documentaries
Summary: 4 Stars
I really enjoyed this release. It's one of the few Fleetwood Mac documentaries that actually tells the story of the band BEFORE Buckingham and Nicks joined in 1974. Of course, there's the whole Rumours schtick that's been said over and over. It was nice to be able to see and hear Judy Wong since she's been connected with the band for years and years.My BIG disappointment was the fact that basically everything from 1983 on is ignored from Mick's two solo albums, the four Fleetwood Mac albums and the addition of Rick Vito, Billy Burnette, Bekka Bramlett and Dave Mason and the departure of Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie.
That being said, I was still pleased with my purchase, if but for the humourous interviews with one Christine McVie.
DVD Review: Very entertaining!
Summary: 5 Stars
This really is not a bad biography, contrary to what other reviewers may say. I mean, let's face it, you're not gonna buy this unless you really like Fleetwood Mac. So it doesn't need to be everything to everyone. It could honestly be more Mick-centric I suppose, but I love the interviews with the Fleetwood Mac bandmates. The rarely interviewed Christine McVie is just a joy to watch. There are some great video clips of the band in the 70s that are fantastic, especially since they match up with a lot of photos you may have seen over the years. This alludes to some of the footage that we may (hopefully!) see in the future.
Description of The Mick Fleetwood Story - Two Sticks and a Drum
Mick Fleetwood cast a long shadow as the co-founder of one of rock's most successful bands--Fleetwood Mac. He was the lanky, frenzied drummer whose unorthodox style drove the band's luscious harmonies and whose slightly crazed persona balanced out the group's ethereal qualities. In this definitive portrait of a life lived within one of rock 'n' roll's most turbulent groups, the story traces Mick Fleetwood's life from his childhood to his early career playing with the world's greatest blues musicians to his years with Fleetwood Mac. Formed in 1967, the group began with its roots firmly planted in the blues and evolved toward pop-rock as the line-up changed. Ironically, Fleetwood Mac's most successful album, "Rumours," with its carefree melodies and bouncy rhythms, was written about the internal tensions that eventually tore the band apart. Includes interviews with B.B. King, John Lee Hooker, Peter Green, John McVie, Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, and John Mayall!Fleetwood Mac drummer and cofounder Mick Fleetwood comes across in this hour-long documentary as a doggedly persistent, admittedly flawed, but ultimately satisfied survivor of some 35 years in the rock & roll trenches. Fleetwood Mac's long and sometimes weird history is documented, from the days when they were led by the fiery blues guitarist Peter Green through the triumphant Buckingham-Nicks years. In the end, though, the program is more Mick than Mac, with a warts-and-all approach that doesn't shy away from his various addictions, two failed marriages, assorted affairs, and, finally, redemption in the arms of his current wife, Lynn. As for the doggedly persistent part, consider this: Fleetwood was so determined to keep the band together that he once took first wife Jenny on tour despite knowing that she was having an affair with another band member. That didn't work, needless to say, but for the most part, Mick Fleetwood's done all right. --Sam Graham
