Summary: Don't Waste Your Money!
Review: Don't bother wasting your money on this inaccurate documentary, which doesn't even feature video footage of any of the band members. The people being interviewed for this documentary are not precise when they mention the Buckingham/Nicks history of Fleetwood Mac.

Summary: Not what I thought or hoped for...
Review: I finished watching this yesterday. It was interesting. I enjoyed the pictures I hadn't seen before. I'm really going to focus on the Buckingham Nicks era as that's what I assume most people would be buying this for (unfortunately; the Blues FM was great but there are documentaries out there about them). There are five people (?) that talk about the band really and they move kind of quickly after Rumours, briefly touching on each album. It seems that it focuses, really, on Stevie after they get into the Rumours-era band, talking about her solo albums and such. "Law and Order" is mentioned, as is "Go Insane" (but not by name). Christine's solo album isn't even mentioned. At one point, the beginning of the 80s, I think, they play footage of random bands. The beginning is pretty good. As mentioned, some of the facts are messed up (Mick choosing Stevie, NOT Lindsey, etc) and some facts seem to be placed in the wrong time (I can't remember a specific example, but the woman from the U.K. Fan Club said something that I thought wasn't right...). It's pretty good, I guess. If you're on the edge about buying it, I wouldn't. I'm sure someone will eventually have pics up from it and it really doesn't give anymore information than you would find in the book "Rumours Exposed". It's all right, though. The only time the band spoke was during footage of an interview at the time of the Inagural reunion. There's no mention of Time or Behind the Mask. The only thing they say is that Stevie hung on a bit longer [than Lindsey]. Really seems to be Stevie-oriented once BN joins the band. And NO music, which doesn't make any sense to me...not even in the picture gallery or opening the DVD.

Review: Imagine a Fleetwood Mac documentary without any Fleetwood Mac music in it! Sheesh. I took a chance with this DVD, as there was little description, so I implore you to avoid making the mistake I made. Do not buy this DVD.

Summary: Only if you want your collection REALLY complete
Review: The best part about the DVD is that we get to see & hear Bob Brunning, a temporary bass guitarist near the beginning of FM. He is well-spoken and speaks well of the band. Other than that, it flies through information you might already know, leaving out many facts and figures, making the documentary both somewhat inaccurate and incomplete. The fact that it is "unauthorized," is probably the reason behind the omission of FM music, though some of the original music is acceptable. I did not find it a complete disappointment, but I also found no reason to cheer.

Summary: Typical non-authorized stuff...
Review: The better documentaries are Mick Fleetwood's DVD, "Classic Albums- Rumours" and the VH1 making of "Say You Will". They should put out some of the Mirage and Tusk tour videos that have been long out of print. They have a petition to put a video of their live and promo videos. They're halfway there.

Review: The fact that it says RIGHT ON THE COVER that this DVD isn't an "authorized" product of Fleetwood Mac, should have tipped me off. I must have either been on drugs or had 20 bucks burning a hole in my pocket when I bought this. There is NO FM music in this DVD, there are several factual inaccuracies, and there are no interviews with anyone really important ( no one closely associated with the band, just a few random people who played with them back in the sixties, and two members of the British fan club, of all things .) The few rare pictures shown of FM in concert and things were of only slight interest, and saved this from a one star rating. SAVE YOUR MONEY !!!! There are MUCH better FM DVD documentaries out there, most of them authorized, like the "Classic Albums" series that features "Rumours".

Summary: a ripoff
Review: There are no redeeming qualities that I can mention about this unauthorized dvd. No Fleetwood Mac interviews nor music or concert footage. A few nice photos, big deal. Not worth it.

Summary: Don't Bother
Review: This documentary has no Fleetwood Mac music,and no involvment of the key band members. There were several inaccuracies in the information presented. It did include some nice rare photos of the 1975 lineup with Nicks and Buckingham but overall is not really worth the money
