Fleetwood Mac 2001 Documentary

[@Abutado]

He had parents that believed in him and told him he could. So he did. The power of having someone you love and who loves you, believe in you makes and unimaginable difference.

[@ernestegbuche6345]

I float on air when listening to any of Fleetwood Mac songs, especially when Stevie Nicks sings with her melodic voice, the melodies takes you on a flight like a bird. To me, the greatest band of all time.

[@tishasavag1686]

I stumbled across a video of Fleetwood Mac performing in. St Louis, Mo in 1979. Stevie performed, “Angel”. I’ve watched it 48 times in a week. Check it out if you haven’t seen it.

[@alanvallazza9781]

Rest In Peace Danny Kirwin, Peter Green, Bob Welch and Christine Perfect McVie.

[@travissecrist4693]

If there is a band that needs a movie made about them it’s this one. The script writes itself. So much drama and the music was fire. I mean from 73 to 80 alone they have an hour of material. So one make it.

[@ginabattz9716]

Daisy Jones and the Six is probably as close as we’ll get. The book series was based on them✨

[@BuddyMoran]

Christine McVie will be badly missed. She was one of the main contributor to one of five diamond albums every made (Rumours). I hope Fleetwood Mac will be featured soon.

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

So too will Peter Green, Danny Kirwan, Bob Welch and Bob Weston.

[@jeffbreezee]

I've been a fan of Fleetwood Mac since I was 11 years old in 77. What's great about Mick Fleetwood is that he could be flexible in music styles and with band mates in order to keep the band together!

[@normg2242]

"I'd give my life to be in a band like Fleetwood Mac...!" - Fleetwood Mac: "We did...!"

[@mafia_dave32]

As a child of the 70's , Fleetwood Mac was the soundtrack in the background .

[@caprise-music6722]

Nice!

[@sammy9103]

Absolutely! RIP Christine 🕊🖤

[@anapaulatillman.6133]

Apropos of nothing, I may or may not have a body to dispose of. Any recommendations?

[@katiekress7287]

Me too - it’s my high school soundtrack.

[@dave8484]

What a sountrack! I was lucky enough to have my parents blaring that after the bar so I grew up waking up and listening to such amazing music!

[@Nina5144]

Peter Green - sorely missed. There was a voice for you. Plus a great guitarist.

[@deerod584]

I would say guitarist before voice

[@kevinb.skinner8264]

My only regret is that I never saw Fleetwood Mack live. God knows I had chances living in Philadelphia suburbs most of my life. I still have their vinyl records from age 17 in 1970s. Such a great band and it wouldn't have been without Mick Fleetwood at the Helm. What a good leader.

[@littlegreycellsmine4291]

Fantastic documentary, one of the best I have seen about them (and I have seen many). Mick does a great job of narrating.

[@arrozconpollo4675]

Indeed a regret my friend. I saw them in 1997 in Florida. I was 30 yrs old. First row right in front of Lindsey. I purposely purchased a solo ticket to get that seat. It was a straggler… rows have even # of seats. I was so close I could see him literally pick the chords. It was The Dance tour. They are in my top 5 concerts of all time…. I’ve seen about 200. However, I do have bands I regret not seeing such as Pearl Jam and Queen. Fun fact- they recorded parts of Rumors here in south Florida….

[@kevinb.skinner8264]

@@arrozconpollo4675 Nice. I saw the Doors at the Philadelphia Arena. I was standing right in front of the stage. The Doors concert before this one was in Florida when Jimmy stripped on stage causing the Philadelphia Spectrum to cancel their concert there so the Arena picked it up and I knew all the doormen there from being a Roller Derby fan. I got in for $1 and paid another $1 to the worker that "seated" me. Lol. $2 total. They were passing a huge bottle of wine around and smoking joints while jamming. Early 1970s

[@GutterUnkown]

If anyone was as curious as I was, the songs from 37:53 to 38:26 , the intro is the song "Everywhere", then it goes to another song "Make me a mask". Just sounded really beautiful and had to find out what they were.

[@h-dawg6462]

thanks for sharing, as soon as i heard it i had to search. my mind is blown!!

[@joshuavandyne7334]

They did that another time as well. On Mirage we hear the intro to what we now know is Silver Springs but the song is Christine’s Wish You Were Here

[@tommeredith7462]

Great to learn Mick had a good family growing up. His parents were great. Good Mick had a close Mother Son relationship of encouragement .

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

Prior to 1975, we had these lineups in Fleetwood Mac. (1967-1968) Peter Green: guitar, vocals Jeremy Spencer: guitar, vocals John McVie: bass guitar Mick Fleetwood: drums (Prior to forming Fleetwood Mac, both Green and Fleetwood were members of Peter B's Looners, who were fronted by future Camel keyboardist Peter Bardens; this band was renamed Shotgun Express when the band added two singers named Beryl Marsden and Rod Stewart, the latter of whom formerly played with Long John Baldry in both Hoochie Coochie Men and Steampacket and would be a rising star in his own right through such bands as The Jeff Beck Group and The Faces, plus a very successful solo career. Later, both Green and Fleetwood joined John Mayall's Bluesbreakers to replace Eric Clapton and Aynsley Dunbar, who in turn were both legendary in their own respective rights.) (1968-1970) Peter Green: guitar, vocals Jeremy Spencer: guitar, vocals Danny Kirwan: guitar, vocals John McVie: bass guitar Mick Fleetwood: drums (Danny Kirwan, who died in 2018, joined as the band's third guitarist in September 1968, just after the release of the album Mr. Wonderful.) (1970-1971) Jeremy Spencer: guitar, vocals Danny Kirwan: guitar, vocals John McVie: bass guitar Mick Fleetwood: drums Christine McVie: keyboards, vocals (Peter Green quits the group after being consumed with LSD, but temporarily rejoins during 1971 to replace Jeremy Spencer before Bob Welch is hired. John McVie's then-wife, Christine, formerly of Chicken Shack, is also brought in as a new member.) (1971-1972) Danny Kirwan: guitar, vocals Bob Welch: guitar, vocals (Welch was the first American-born member of Fleetwood Mac) John McVie: bass guitar Mick Fleetwood: drums Christine McVie: keyboards, vocals (Jeremy Spencer leaves the group, while the band was touring in Los Angeles, to join a religious cult, despite saying he was simply going out to buy a magazine. They replace him with Bob Welch, but during the interim Peter Green briefly rejoins.) (1972-1973) Bob Welch: guitar, vocals Bob Weston: guitar John McVie: bass guitar Mick Fleetwood: drums Christine McVie: keyboards, vocals (Danny Kirwan is fired after being strung out on drugs which made him not want to participate in some of their concert dates, and is replaced by Bob Weston, who eventually is himself fired after having had an affair with Jenny Boyd, who was then Mick Fleetwood's wife.) After Bob Weston was fired, in early 1974 a fake Fleetwood Mac was formed by the band's manager, Clifford Davis, to satisfy the remaining touring commitments; this led to lawsuits against him from the group's real members. Although this lawsuit wouldn't ultimately be settled until 1978, the new real Fleetwood Mac, now with Stevie Nicks on lead vocals and Lindsey Buckingham on guitar (both Nicks and Buckingham had their own band, Buckingham Nicks, which released one album in 1973) plus the three remaining members, made their debut with their 1975 self-titled album.

[@breemarpes5233]

Rip Christine McVie ❤

[@jeffbreezee]

I must clarify! Mick has incredible leadership skills to keep that band going!

[@coolbreeze5683]

I was going to mention this too. He went through a lot and must have had some kind of higher power telling him to keep pushing along

[@kennyroberts7712]

My Girlfriend and I Seen Fleetwood Mac in Buffalo when My Band was playing at the Holiday Inn hotel at the Buffalo Airport .I Believe it was one of the Best shows we did.It was one of the Best shows of Fleetwood Mac that I ever seen.Beeing Canadian it was really different to be able to bring beer to the outside Concert..Met Holiday Inn staff and become good friends with them.They had a whole afternoon of Great Bands(J Giles and a couple more.)Fun Times with Great Musicians and really kind people!!

[@grettalemabouchou6779]

Excellent band. (Susan Fleetwood was a marvelous actress. You can see her in Persuasion with Caryn Hinds.) Back to the band.....they are fantastic all.

[@stormhawk3319]

A band with not one, but FOUR great singer-songwriters as members including a peerless rhythm section of Mick & John.

[@coreybarnes3268]

Everyone thinks that stevie nicks is the main one in fleetwood mac, without this guy there is no fleet wood Mac period 👋

[@charlee8526]

😂 well yeah he does put the fleetwood in fleetwood Mac 🤣

[@toneymontgomery2964]

Peter Green says differnet

[@obiwanfarone5524]

I mean yes…. But that was the dispute as well… It was kinda like Fleetwoods band… but Stevie was clearly drawing in a lot of fans on her own… me personally obviously love both but I’ll follow Stevie anywhere. Absolutely a golden variable.

[@jenifersmith3603]

Each member is just as important as the other in this band. Each has his/ her own magic. If one member drops off it's just not Fleetwood Mac anymore

[@patrickvinas6524]

After reading comments about a video of the David Gilmore vs Roger waters fighting. Posters were all taking the side of one or the other. There would have been no Pink Floyd without either. Same here.

[@bennycop]

They deserve a movie

[@nohrtillman8734]

Timeless content in this video. It’s a shame chunks of it are so badly cut out of it that the story is ruined. Especially in the last half, everyone was getting chopped mid-sentence.

[@grizzledog7106]

Yea. A major problem

[@SteveBagnall-gh1fu]

The first time I saw them was Leeds University Union, December 68 they played Albatross, then eight minutes long, many fell asleep as they left the stage one by one John Mac, the last player quietly said "Good Night".

[@novusordoseclorummcmlxxvi]

Very nice documentary, too bad it seems heavily cut, perhaps due to music copyright issues (?)

[@scottlapointe1505]

It's very annoying

[@shelleyfoster7606]

I would love to watch the uncut version!

[@californiagrace6868]

WTF!

[@justinjacob7580]

It was due to not want the truth to get out about certain topics.

[@julieadams8021]

What a tremendous insight to Mick Fleetwood and the group ❤

[@chmick50]

Thanks so much for posting

[@thatsentertainment5602]

Your welcome

[@MeredithWaters]

13:01 (First gig with parents present) "Sure enough, right on cue, there was a godawful fight"... 20:10 "That's when Peter (Green) left us"...(Peter: "I took LSD, and poof, I never return could get back"...) 22:36 Christine: "(I had been a housewife)...and ten days later I was in America, with Fleetwood Mac, I couldn't believe it"... 23:15 "Jeremy (Spencer) disappeared...went out for a short walk, never came back"... 25:40 Jenny Boyd: "And it would be chaos, mayhem...and Bob Westin came into our kitchen (affair and tour collapse)... 27:56 Lindsay: "Bob Welch decided to leave...Keith Olson played (the demo of Buckingham Nicks)"... 29:10 Mick: "By the time we got to making Rumours, all hell was breaking loose".. 30:30 Christine: You expect things like that to happen in Fleetwood Mac, I mean, NOTHING surprises me that happens in Fleetwood Mac"...

[@marthalazarus4214]

You would think that understanding the pain of betrayal Mick would not do that to someone else. He betrayed Lindsey--both he and Stevie did. They keep saying they kept it a secret. Whom are they kidding?

[@jaysprintz6982]

Mick Fleetwood sure he was the founder.what a band defo in my top 3 and maybe top 2 unreal music

[@regissuchma5764]

The first time heard fleetwood mac was with the line up of Buckingham and nicks then went back to the original line up fleetwood mac Is a great band

[@benjaminandrews8148]

Bob Welch is underrated

[@Nina5144]

I’m currently watching a BBC programme FM - a Musical History - sadly a bunch of nobodies taking about the group. After we see and hear Peter singing “Oh Well’ we some women and a bloke (no idea who they are) telling us what we already know. The bloke is telling us how the initial band lost fans and a fan base when Peter ‘left’. Then a strange woman sitting on a sofa telling us ‘apparently Peter and another band member were on an bad acid trip in Germany’. APPARENTLY! We KNOW that’s what happened. She says ‘that’s the folklore’ FOLKLORE! She’s back later with ‘apparently Mick heard a record by…’ APPARENTLY. If she’s not sure why is she there! We then have a mediocre singer Tungstall? And someone called Toyah. Honestly why don’t the programme makers have people that know what they are talking about - maybe the BBC couldn’t afford them!. Stevie Nicks’ voice is so weedy. Great songwriter, not voice. Christine is fantastic.

[@md-ln4fp]

Go your own way by, "Vitamin String Quartet', is a masterpiece.

[@karenconverse945]

All chopped up. Must've been really good in original state.

[@nicolahempsall6416]

Best band in the world 🌎

[@bwithrow011]

Who edited this documentary? Where is the missing footage?

[@DJDmusicasart]

who the fuck thought it was a good idea to cut out pieces out of the video ... Also this is a Mick Fleetwood documentary, not a Fleetwood Mac documentary, its good but not what I was expecting

[@YouDonteverhavetodie]

But hey, it's free, right?

[@scottlapointe1505]

It's stupid that this video is heavily edited

[@TheWhereyouare]

I wonder why his marriage to Lynn didn’t work out.

[@emcarnahan]

This is most of "Two Sticks and a Drum" - it's 2000 not 2001

Is there an uncut version of this anywhere?

wheres the full version?

[@danmcdonald8736]

Micks mother is biddy Fleetwood... That's British as fuck

[@peterweston1356]

Strangely, Bob Weston felt only a deep transcendent friendship with Jenny, something more powerful than sex. Lovers in another life perhaps ? He never regretted his behaviour

[@brynniefresh9746]

not a single person mentioning how there’s chunks missing 🤨 very annoying

[@whiterabbit699]

Why does it keep jumping and missing bits out.

[@NMW80]

Cos of YT rules. They won’t allow it to be posted otherwise

[@ronaldzent6321]

Think someone mentioned, Fleetwood Mac was basically kept together by Mick. Despite all the stuff that seemed to be sort of a constant with the group, not just the usual sex, Drugs, etc. Mick seems like a pretty down to earth guy, at least on the surface, Lynn wife#3, seemed like she was an overall good influence on helping him get it together. The musical life may seem exciting and glamorous, but in actuality, can probably be tough on anyone, regardless of how talented one may be. Think for the Beatles, everything just happened so fast for them, they burnt out from touring kind of soon

[@mardee9654]

Brilliant ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@tetrahedron1000]

Very little mention of Danny Kirwan. It's a shame.

[@ForecastGrim]

Why all the cuts?

[@steel65712]

They keep cutting the comments off in the middle

[@nkley1]

at 7:47….Yoko Ono ? I believe she was in London at that time.

[@BeautifulByNature3369]

This was seriously depressing and sad

[@tommaloney3938]

wow was Danny Kirwan and Bob Welch even mentioned. I guess they don't want to talk about them how sad. Bare Trees was huge when fm radio took over. somebody please do a real documentary. they always want to skip over the middle part and get to b&n era more of vocal band.shallow .

[@r3mdh]

Calling Stevie a “musician” is a bit of a stretch. A tambourine isn’t much of an instrument. “Singer/songwriter” would have been the most appropriate title.

[@eatscrumpets]

27:00

[@chrisb7324]

Annoying skipping throughout

[@vmackey11]

WTH is up with the gaps?

If you wrote this story out as a Netflix series, nobody would believe you.
