Fleetwood Mac – Live (2xLP)

"Live" was originally released on December 8, 1980, and was the first live album by the then-current lineup of the British-American rock band featuring Lindsey Buckingham (guitar, vocals), Stevie Nicks (vocals), Christine McVie (keyboards, vocals), John McVie (bass) and Mick Fleetwood (drums, percussion). The album captures the band at their most iconic line-up, demonstrating the full range of their combined creative powers on stage.

Recorded largely during the world tour for "Tusk," "Fleetwood Mac Live" was an album full of exhilarating performances, from big hits like "Dreams" and "Go Your Own Way," "Rhiannon" and "Don't Stop." Most of the double album was recorded live between 1979 and 1980, with a few exceptions: "Don't Let Me Down Again" was recorded during the 1975 tour for Fleetwood Mac, "Dreams" and "Don't Stop" were taken from the band's soundcheck in Paris, "Fireflies", "One More Night" and a cover of The Beach Boys' "Farmer's Daughter" were recorded during a special concert in California for the band's crew, families and friends.

The new double LP contains a remastered version of the original album on 180 g vinyl. In addition to the "Live" album, the three-disc deluxe edition includes a third disc with more than an hour of unreleased live music recorded between 1977 and 1982, including seven songs from the "Tusk" tour (1979-1980), four from the "Rumours" tour (1977) and three from the "Mirage" tour (1982). These great additions include live versions of "Tusk", "Gold Dust Woman" and "Songbird", plus "The Green Manalishi (With The Two-Pronged Crown)", a song written in 1970 by guitarist Peter Green, who formed Fleetwood Mac in 1967 with Mick Fleetwood and Jeremy Spencer.
