Summary: YOU DON'T GET TO SEE OR HEAR THE SONGS
Review: This DVD contains discussions of the songs on Fleetwood Mac's Rumours Album, but not the songs themselves. They tell you about the song, how it was produced, what was going on and then they don't play it. If you are lucky they show about a 10 second video clip. It would not have cost the powers-to-be a dime to show a video of each song after it was discussed. In my opinion this "Album" is a tribute to arrogance. I will be sending it back.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: excellent
Review: This DVD is fanstatic, the interviews are great the band has made it through all the tough times, they are going to have with each other and come out the other side.

This insight to this classic album is just great a wonderful look, into their lives and problems they where having at the time.

Now we can rely see and hear the rumours album the way it was.

Now all that needs to happen, is for the record company to get off there back sides and re-issue the cd digitally remastered. While there at it do a new greatest hits digitally remastered, would be great too.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A WASTE OF VIEWING TIME AND MONEY!
Review: THIS IS A BLATANT CASE OF FALSE ADVERTISING THAT I'VE EVER SEEN! I'M EXPECTING TO SEE FLEETWOOD-MAC PERFORMING ALL THE SONGS FROM THEIR ALBUM 'RUMORS' (WHICH IS A GREAT PIECE OF WORK!). INSTEAD, ALL I SEE ARE THE RECORDING TECHNICIANS EXPLAINING HOW THEY MIXED THE VARIOUS SONGS, WHICH, BRINGS ME TO MY MAIN BEEF...ONLY BITS AND PIECES OF THE SONGS ARE PLAYED. NONE OF THE SONGS WERE PLAYED IN THEIR ENTIRETY. ALSO, THE INTERVIEWS WITH THE BAND MEMBERS SEEMED TO FOCUS ON WHO HAD AN AFFAIR WITH WHOM AND WHY THE AFFAIR ENDED. WHO CARES? I WANTED TO SEE F-M PERFORM AND WAS VERRRRRRY DISAPPOINTED WHEN THEY DIDN'T. AT LEAST I HAVE MEMORIES OF TWO OF THEIR CONCERTS THAT I ATTENDED YEARS AGO.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: For the TRUE fan with common sense
Review: This is a fabulous documentary on the album. And is only intended for those who actually know how to read the back of a video or DVD and realize it's not a concert.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Rumours Indeed
Review: This is a great doucumentary on the making of "Rumours." Great interviews with all the members, detailing each track and offering information on just what it took to put together this landmark album. It includes some very rare footage, and frank discussions about each track, including the illustrious "Silver Springs" which was bumped from the album in place of "I Don't Wanna Know." When the band finished the album, they had no idea what to call it. Since the tabloids were going crazy with rumors of who the band mates were sleeping with, if they were breaking up, drug use, and calling Stevie Nicks a practicing wiccan witch...John McVie came up with "Rumours." Hence the british spelling of the word!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not a review, but a question . . .
Review: This is not a review but a question. Is this the video that ends with the USC Trojan band playing along with Fleetwood Mac? That's the video that I'm searching for.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I could watch this OVER and OVER!
Review: This video is very interesting and tells you a lot about the songs and what was going on at that time. And if you read the WHOLE outside of the box it doesn't say anything about having all of the songs performed all the way though!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Incredible video that is a must for any fleetwood mac junkie
Review: This video was awesome! For anyone who is fascinated with the dynamics of Fleetwood Mac, this video gives the scoop on the incredible Rumors recording. It tells about the circumstances surrounding the composition of many of the classic songs, and gives the story about why Silver Springs wasn't included on the album. Buy it now . . . you won't regret it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Essential
Review: This was easily the most enlightening of the various Mac documentaries made around the time of the "Dance" reunion. The band members all provide insightful commentary on their contributions to "Rumours," and each of the writers (Stevie, Lindsey and Christine) performs a solo version of one of their songs from the album. Best of all, though, are the in-studio breakdowns of the eleven tracks. We get to hear the bone-chilling screams at the end of "Gold Dust Woman" and the beautiful acoustic guitar work on "Silver Springs," for example, stripped of all accompaniment. These segments of the video make the intricate craftmanship of the album more obvious--and breathtaking--than ever before.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It was just ok
Review: This was just an ok DVD for me. I bought it with the impression it would be something like the other DVDs, Live at Red Rocks and The Dance. But it was more of a documentary than a musical DVD. This made it disappointing to me. But, hey, there are some people who will absolutely fall in love with it, I just won't be one of them.
If you are looking for a history of Fleetwood Mac, then this would e for you.
