Unedited BBC documentary
 

Saw this elsewhere and figured I share.

The part about “Don’t Stop” was kind of funny.

What was the original running time, Steve?

It’s 1:30:01.

What was the running time on the edited version? (Sorry, if that wasn't clear)

The one on YT is 1:18:52.

That's enough for me to watch it again. :nod:

The segment on “Don’t Stop” (around the 43 minute mark) is hilarious.

This is wonderful. I've been wanting to see this forever.

Thank you for sharing it! I remember when it was announced I checked the BBC webpage but the video was blocked in south america region. Then I forgot about it for years and didn't know it was somewhere in YT.
Some thoughts:

Oh I must admit I feel a bit sad watching Richard Dashut getting old, I think the last video I saw he appeared or I saw was The Mick Fleetwood Story: Two Sticks and a Drum and that was 19 years before this one. Well time goes by for all of us.

I must say Curry Grant appears more handsome in this shot than John (sorry Johnny :) )


Definitely I miss Lindsey in this doc, but I understand it was 2019 and wounds continued to bleed. All that fact still makes me angry anyway.

And watching Neil Finn presented as Crowded House/Fleetwood Mac is still weird to me. Same with Mike. And though Chris was there, listening Don't Stop sung by other people instead of Lindsey, makes me feel I'm watching a cover band. Well that confirms the kind of Fleetwood Mac fan I am. A Rumours lineup fan.

The Songbird performance at 49:00, from what tour it is? Looks like it's from Tusk or Rumours. It's a very good quality for a 70s video.

But I miss there is nothing about her solo albums. Well after all the title is "Fleetwood Mac's Songbird Christine McVie". But I wish it were "Songbird Christine McVie". That would have included more new information. Most of the video was about things we the fans already knew (except maybe about her early years). And the Behind the Mask - Time years also. That was Fleetwood Mac too, in spite of all.

But the shots about the Maui reunion were very very cool!

I will agree that Curry looked pretty darn good, but the pictures they used of John in that BBC thing were awful. He was pretty attractive in those younger years but those pics (taken from Mick's book of pics released years ago) did not accurately reflect his hotness :rolleyes: When Chris is gushing about how he stood out in a room because he was so handsome, they're showing the pic of him looking hungover in his underwear in some nasty hotel room. Not at all impressive. At least he looked good in the video of Need Your Love So Bad.

There’s no question John aged better, too.
