Behind The Mask
Behind The Mask is one of my favourite Fleetwood Mac albums and one of the few albums that I can listen to in its entirety without skipping a track. So, it's challenging for me to choose the tracks I like the most but this is my list:
Love Is Dangerous In The Back Of My Mind Do You Know Save Me When The Sun Goes Down Behind The Mask Freedom What are your favourite songs from this album? |
Save Me
In The Back Of My Mind Behind The Mask When The Sun Goes Down (country fan as a kid and a bluegrass fan, so I love this) Honestly, that's kind of it. BTM is not one of my favorite albums. |

Favs: In the back of my Mind Love is Dangerous Stand on a Rock Save Me I thought the tour was good also, nice stage lighting, merchandise, and good opening acts (World Party or Squeeze? at some New England shows..) |

The Billy/Christine combo was a great one and one that was not explored enough, just like the Rick/Stevie combo. This version of Love Is Dangerous is great (Rick's solo version is awesome but very different in arrangement and style from this CD's version). Rick and Stevie's "Desiree" from Rick's King of Hearts CD would have just been awesome if done by FM during this era. The tour for this CD was great. In The Back Of My Mind flowing into The Chain was a stroke of genius! It was just awesome! The short blues set from Rick was outstanding (as if it would have been anything less!!), and everything seemed to be flowing nicely. It's just a shame that there wasn't perhaps some different material on the CD, or that there wasn't more acceptance of where the band was trying to go at that point. The Tango In The Night tour was awesome as well (my first FM show was on that tour) and those 2 guys blew me away! "Oh Well", the things that might have/could have/should have been with this line-up have been debated and theorized ad nauseum, so I won't attempt to open any of those discussions again! :thumbsup: |
July 3, 1990
Fleetwood Mac played Richfield, Coliseum on July 3 on the Behind the mask tour. I was wondering if anyone else knew that Billy Burnette sang Rhiannon that night instead of Stevie. Now I didn't go to that show but I remember reading the review of it and that is what they said. And I have a ton of BTM shows on tape but not that one. Has anyone ever heard that? Also I checked on the Legacy because they always have those little tidbits of info next to the shows but there was nothing there. So I thought that was odd.

Travisevian, there are plenty of people here that will help you kick the habit. Just be very careful of the enablers in this particular Ledge forum. |
My faves are 'In the Back of My Mind' and 'Behind the Mask'.

A missed opportunity and great mistake (Stevie has had her share). When I play the album, though, I still listen to the song. It's like passing a horrible car accident on a highway --- you don't want to see it, but you have to look! |

I'd like to just understand the album cover. That would be enough for me. |

Christine: Behind The Mask
Stevie: Freedom Billy: Hard Feelings Rick & Stevie: Love is Dangerous Rick & Billy: When The Sun Goes Down A respectable, decent album overall; very listenable. The only songs that made it into the live set were: Save Me Stand On The Rock Love is Dangerous - dropped at some point in the tour When The Sun Goes Down - great live song featuring Billy & Rick, but inexplicably dropped early on In The Back of My Mind - good song, but horrible as a show opener Curiously, not one new Stevie song in the set. Was this a silent protest of her not completely accepting the band without Lindsey? The thing I dislike the most about this era of the band is that this is when Stevie's solo songs (Stand Back and Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You) started creeping into the set lists, with Stand Back becoming a staple of Fleetwood Mac shows, despite it being a song in a style so unlike Fleetwood Mac. And, Stevie brought other elements of her solo career into the band - Sharon and Laurie, as well as a few of her band members. The brand that was Fleetwood Mac became more diluted. |
