Of course the Early Years is another story.

So if it's not the Rumours 5, it's not FM to you? Am I reading that correctly?

Not enough Fleetwood Mac. I repeat, I do like the BTM album and enjoyed the 2009 Unleashed concert. But I felt something (no need to mention what, you guys already know) was missing, both cases.

That dinner meeting at a Mexican restaurant called El Carmen (circa 1974) when L&S accepted to be in the band was a turning point and they became an unforgettable lineup. Anything that band became afterwards could no longer be the same. The Fleetwood Mac legacy became tighly tied to that lineup.

Now, the pre Rumours 5 years were another story. The previous Fleetwood Macs are different bands. Though basically I found 2 Fleetwood Macs (one with Peter, another with Chris and Bob). But I can't say more cause I've not researched enough, and I'm not enough fan of those lineups.

That's my opinion. Not an absolute truth, it's just my feeling. According to laws and facts I may be wrong, I don't know. But that is and will always be my perception and my feeling.
