Rating: 5.0
One of the best of the Classic Albums series
If you enjoy the music, the story behind the making of this classic is very interesting. You get to hear firsthand accounts on the breakups and how Mick is the glue that kept them together as they were all unravelling (and in the 80s, they would reconvene for "Tango in the Night" due to Mick's own unravelling.It goes into the Peter Green era and how Lindsey and Stevie joined the band, the smash success of the self-titled, and this follow-up to it.You can definitely see some bitterness in the sweet fruits of success they enjoyed, and some of "The Dance" is shown, as is some of the "Rumours" tour, and you can see Stevie and Lindsey's drama unfolding on stage at that time with looks that kill towards each other.The songs are broken down by its creators, Lindsey shows off his fingerpicking skills (underrated as a great guitarist, but he's filled Peter Green's shoes which were big shoes to fill), Christine sets up shop where she originally recorded "Songbird" and performs it to an empty theatre, which still makes the hair on your arms stand.
