Pump Up the Volume!!
Pros:
"Rhiannon", "Oh Well" by Lindsey Buckingham and "I'm So Afraid"
Cons:
Unlike the "Tusk" CD, you have 2 CD's you must switch between; weak "Landslide"
The Bottom Line:
While a casual listener may not enjoy it, the Fleetwood Mac fan will love the live versions of the hits that made them one of the greatest bands, ever.

Author's Review
This album is great for Fleetwood Mac fans, but the casual listener may not like it. It contains some AWESOME performances, such as Stevie's "Rhiannon", Lindsey singing Peter Green's hit, "Oh Well" and his own tour de force, "I'm So Afraid, one of the best live versions I have heard of this song, my personal favorite FM song. A song that sounds better in concert than on the album, "Tusk" is Christine's "Over and Over", thanks to Lindsey's emotive guitar playing. Two songs that are unique to this album are "Fireflies", a song Stevie Nicks wrote about being part of the magic that is Fleetwood Mac and "Farmer's Daughter", written by the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson. The harmonies on the latter are gorgeous. The weak part of this set is Stevie's "Landslide", she sounds either sick or half asleep, you can barely hear her introducing the song.
