Fleetwood Mac peaked early.
Like Rod Stewart.

Fleetwood Mac was great live in the 70s. Unfortunately Stevie twirled herself right off the side of the stage into the pit when I saw them during the Tusk tour. Luckily she got right back up, climbed onto the stage and continued onâŚlol

I agree. I didnât care for FMâs late music much at all. It became to hard and harsh for my taste. But their early stuff was wonderful, especially pre-Tusk.
If you wish to continue to enjoy Buckingham-era FM, please make sure you never read anything heâs had to say in the last, oh, 20 years or so.
I get that there is no love lost between him and Nicks but Jesus, man. Itâs over. Let it go.

Holy crap. I had NO IDEA that âGreen Menalishiâ originally a Fleetwood Mac number. My metalhead highschool friends introduced me to Judas Priest with THEIR version. I never knew it was a cover.
I was done with FM after Tusk.
Bob Mould can distort with the best of them.

Doc,
Iâm not going to comment on your concert pics, but I generally agree that most rock bands have a shelf life and many donât know when to exit the stage. They could be sidemen, producers or mentors, but the money from touring must be too good to resist. (OK, a few would pretend to be actors for a film or two, but that wasnât anything to write home about.) After the streaming services took most of the money out of record/CD sales, touring was the only game in town and it turned out fans would pay exorbitant amounts to see the old folks. Hence, the old bands from the 70s just kept touring and occupied space that could have been enjoyed by new bands.
One exception that comes to mind regarding the old and dated performers is Jimmy Buffett. He was rumpled, raggedy and repetitive from the git go. So I suppose he will be searching for his lost shaker of salt till he shuffles off this mortal coil.
I saw the E Street Band at the LA Memorial Coliseum on the Born in the USA tour. Bruceâs anti-Nam stance was crystal clear. Dynamite show.
Reagan tried to co-opt the tune but was a fail.

Iâll ignore your presumptions about why peeps like an artist and play anywayâŚ
Stones over Doors, Beatles over Stones just not to me, Zeppelin is twilight - they hover over everyone.
Seger too different than Joel. Seger over Springsteen, Petty over Springsteen.
âEagles over Credenceâ 
âRush = Genesis, in more or less each stage of their career.â I have no idea.
âNirvana > Pearl Jam > Soundgarden. Nirvana wins simply because they never had time to put our anything truly mediocre.â YES
âI will take early (best) Foo Fighters over most of Soundgarden.â NO
P.S. I do not like Joelâs Still Rock ân Roll To Me either.

Very good.
Stevie Nickâs Landslide still makes me weepy and I played my Rumours album so many times I started to receive complaints.

I never gave any thought to Landslide the first four thousand times I heard it on the radio, but it was poignant at the end of this melancholy meditation on mortality.
Yep, I got weepy⌠until the duck! 
I think Stevie Nicks wrote that song when she was breaking up with Lindsey Buckingham.
Pink Floyd 
Thatâs the post
