Favorite and leas favorite videos
What is the video clip you like the most? Let's include solo videos if you want.
My favorite video, surely not surprise, is Gypsy. Probably the best produced Fleetwood Mac video clip. By the way, the scene I attached is related to th 1929 Great Depression, isn't it? Was that scene part of the video production, or was it taken from an old film, or documentary? (I think I have seen that scene in other video). And my least favorite, actually the one I definitely don't like is Paper Doll. Though it makes sense they included shots from oldest videos, cause it's a box set song, I would have liked a better production. And though it's one of the most beautiful Fleetwood Mac song, the Everywhere video is not a favorite of mine either (in spite of the beautiful locations). The story doesn't fit with the lyrics. It would have been far better if the band made a parallel appearance, ala As Long as You Follow. And that car at the end??? Did The Highwayman included it? Actually it reminds me Shyamalan's The Village.

For me it’s a toss up between gypsy and Hold Me. I think Hold Me might just edge it.
Hold Me Gypsy Big Love Little Lies As Long As You Follow Everywhere (people dislike it but I really like it. And I think the song does match the sentiment of The Highwayman) Love Shines (maybe could even be higher) Seven Wonders Tusk Save Me Haven’t really considered solo….but I’d put a shout in for The Zoo’s Angel Come Home

I loved Big Love when it first came out, but now it’s horribly dated. Stevie’s hair, the cheesy effects like Lindsey floating through the Twilight Zone, and the ending with those silly grunts. The record company must have spent thousands of dollars alone just on that nighttime beach scene, which got maybe 5 seconds of airtime!
Gypsy, with the production values of a movie, is probably their best video. The fashions, the details, all those extras dancing in the rain, that painting at the end. It’s stunning. I like Save Me and As Long As You Follow, mostly because of Christine and Rick, who kept my interest. Christine looked more beautiful during this period than she did in 1982 or 1984! Skies the Limit and Seven Wonders are decent performance videos, with Stevie’s outfits probably being the most memorable things about them. Lindsey looks incredibly happy during SW. Love Shines is boring- not musically but visually. Without Stevie or Lindsey to make it interesting, there’s nothing to keep our eye. All the band does is pretend to perform the song while constantly hugging each other… probably because they didn’t know what else to do. I don’t even rank Everywhere, Paper Doll, or In the Back of My Mind. Tusk is ok. The most interesting thing about it is the cardboard cut out of John, who refused to show up because he was mad at Lindsey. I wonder whose idea it was to get the cut out? Maybe they thought we wouldn’t notice LOL. Little Lies is my favorite FM video. They all look fantastic, the different combinations of band members is cool (Christine and Lindsey, John and Stevie), and the illustrations coming to life are well done. Trouble is my favorite solo video. Visually unique. Stand Back is enjoyable, mostly because I marvel at how Stevie was able to walk on a treadmill backwards while wearing platform heels and a dress that could easily have gotten stuck in the machinery! Love Will Show Us How is entertaining, but it’s too long and Christine was clearly not an actress. Talk to Me has an interesting premise, unlike most of her other videos and she looks really good in it. Last edited by bwboy; 10-16-2023 at 01:09 PM.. |

I dont count Paper Doll and Everywhere as real videos. There is so much cut and paste from earlier videos. Isn't Lindsey appearing in the Paper Doll video?
Gypsy blows the lid off by even today's standards. It goes through so many phases and features everyone in the band nicely. Hold Me is really good too. Gypsy Hold Me Little Lies As Long As You Follow Save Me Skies The Limit Seven Wonders Tusk Big Love Favorite Solo: Rooms On Fire, Love Will Show Us How, Wrong BTW bwboy, I agree. The best part of the Big Love video is the beach scene and its only 3 seconds. Now I disagree with you that Talk To Me is a good video. It stinks. Stevie shot from such a distance for most part of the video tells you everything you need to know. Those horrible cheesy dances. Even I could choreograph a better dance. And her brother pretending to play saxophone on the wall is a cheap ploy to get him in a video. Waste of an effort. Stevie filmed close ups one day. The next day she was a mess and you can almost hear them say "we need to do something to finish this video"

Yes he appears briefly, cuts from Tango videos I guess. At first I thought What is he doing here (thinking it was a post rumours song)? But then I read he collaborated with backing vocals, additional guitar, according to Wikipedia.

I think the close ups of her look really great. She’s wearing colorful dresses and her hairstyles are (mostly) flattering. And I like the way the pictures on the wall are the backgrounds for her when she’s singing. But I can’t argue about the sax playing or the dancing. That’s actually pretty amusing, I think. |

Fleetwood Mac was working with Greg Ladanyi with the BTM lineup, but PD’s production is credited to Richard Dashut, which suggests to me they scrapped everything but the vocals. Even the organ doesn’t mesh with their 88-90 sound.
