Fleetwood Mac are one of the biggest-selling bands of all time and still on the road. Their story, told in their own words, is an epic tale of love and confrontation, of success and loss. Few bands have undergone such radical musical and personal change. The band evolved from the 60s British blues boom to perfect a US West Coast sound that saw them sell 40 million copies of the album Rumours. However, behind the scenes relationships were turbulent. The band went through multiple line-ups with six different lead guitarists. While working on Rumours, the two couples at the heart of the band separated, yet this heartache inspired the perfect pop record.

An intriguing documentary following the band from inception. Charts their hits as well as the insight into the relationships that drove and at times almost destroyed the band. Compelling viewing and I found myself watching it many times within 2 weeks of my first viewing. Highly recommended. Great personalities, trials, tribulations, and music that was produced through the backdrop of real life experience. It features comments from all the band members, which all seemed recent other than the clips from Christine, who retired from the band around 1998 and seems to not want much to do with them now – so comments from her were from a back-catalogue. Really intriguing comments from Buckingham and Nicks (interviewed in different places as they don't really get on) citing how 'Dreams' and 'Go your own way' were their own personal songs about their imminent break-up – but with quite different messages. I am worried that I will stop leaving the house and will just keep watching this documentary on a loop. Enjoy.
