Fleetwood Mac begannen in den 60er Jahren als reine Männer-Blues-Band und wechselten dann in der Formation, zu einer der erfolgreichsten Rock-Pop-Bands der Welt mit Frauen in der Band. Viel Stoff um in die Geschichte der Band zu durchleuchten und den ein oder anderen Blick hinter die Kulissen zu werfen. Gut das das Internet hierzu so einige Dokumentationen zu Fleetwood Mac bereithält.

This is the story of the band Fleetwood Mac whose on/off relationships and bust ups became as famous as their music. Updated to the original episode are the final departure of Christine McVie from the band, the revised line up’s new album and their ongoing determination to keep the show on the road and filling stadiums.

“Fleetwood Mac’s history from 1967 to 1974 (the year Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks joined) could be an entire Behind The Music in itself…or even three (see Stevie:BTM and Lindsay:BTM). Even though the pre-Buckingham/Nicks version of the band went through numerous personnel changes and wrote the often covered “Somebody’s Gonna Get Their Head Kicked In Tonight” and the Judas Priest standard “Green Manalishi,” this period of the band only gets about five minutes of coverage. But naturally the Lindsey and Stevie era is the one that Fleetwood Mac is best known for. Anyway, this episode not only chronicles the crazy level of success the band attained, but it illustrates how absolute fame can corrupt absolutely. There are more mentions of drug use in these interviews than there are killings in your average John Woo film. Then there are the busted relationships, the rigors of the road, the tribulations of recording and the triumphant reunion (which provides a framing device for the episode, as the episode provides a promotional device for the reunion). It’s everything you could hope for in a Behind The Music. But what’s the deal with those balls on the cover of “Rumours?””
