4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Mac performance, November 27, 2003

This review is from: Fleetwood Mac In Concert: Mirage Tour '82 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The Mirage tour came at a time when the Mac members were pursuing solo careers, and finding it hard to get back into the classic Mac mood after the draining Tusk tour. Some solo careers were more successful than others however, naming no names..... The video features a large selection of Lindsey Buckingham songs, a fair amount of Christine McVie songs, and a pitiful three Stevie Nicks contributions. The music in some cases is very raw and wild, like a classic rock concert where the musicians are just playing what they want in any way they want, which is great, but Buckingham's 'Not That Funny' is about 10 minutes long, consisting of him dancing and playing fairly pathetic guitar, which makes the video a bit like .. 'OK, let's fast forward this bit, and this bit, and this bit', until you get to a 'proper song', like 'Blue Letter', 'You Make Loving Fun', and the moving and incredibly powerful performance of the Tusk album gem 'Sisters of the Moon.' It is interesting to see Fleetwood Mac perform at this point of self expression through solo careers, particularly Buckingham, who seemed to want to stay in his garage instead of playing with the Mac. Besides the slightly strained moments, this video is worth buying if you have some spare money about, as it captures a point of Mac history where creativity was at a peak, as well as some of the feelings between band members. The set list is unusual, which is very refreshing these days amidst just the old well known numbers which can get extremely tiresome. Buy this if you want to hear songs you didn't think had been performed, like 'Sisters of the Moon', 'Eyes of the world' and 'Blue Letter'.
