I prefered the Peter Green version of Fleetwood Mac still a good watch though.

She closed the Tusk tour set at Wembley with Songbird, the encore was played to silence, the only time I have experienced that. No other version comes near. Perfect she was & always will be to me.

I watched this the other day. Most of my favourite Fleetwood Mac tracks are Christine McVie compositions, so for someone like me, who prefers the Buckingham/Nicks era as my favourite incarnation of the band, it’s a really good watch.
Seems the band were in three camps, John McVie/Fleetwood, Christine/Stevie and Buckingham (After his split with Nicks) the outsider. He doesn’t seem any easy person to work with.

I always preferred Peter Green’s period with the band. Green Manalishi and Oh Well ,two classic tracks

I knew her in school.
I whispered in her behind the bicycle sheds.
Christine your the perfect prefect.
She whispered back..
And the songbirds are singing
Like they knew the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before.

There is no wrong answer, each evolution of the band was unique, Peter Green & Stevie Nicks couldn’t be more diverse but that’s what makes the band stand above most others.

I've got several Fleetwood Mac CDs and vinyl which purport to be Greatest hits/Best of/Very best of - and they're all different.
I think I have all the pre-Buckingham/Nicks albums on vinyl - this was my preferred period, but they transitioned to mainstream so well and Christine was a great writer with a distinctive voice

Re: Christine Prefect/McVie.

I saw them at Sophia Gardens in 1969 supporting B B King and were playing primarily blues. Evolving seemed to part of their way of life as they changed style somewhat leading to the Oh Well/Green Manalishi period which I preferred. Evolution continued into the puréed mid-atlantic mainstream mush rock which made them big time but was not my cup of tea but still a good band and justifiably popular nevertheless.
