Quotes
Lindsey Buckingham: [talking about "Bleed to Love Her"] This reconvening of these five people was kind of an organic... thing. Uhh... I had asked Mick to play drums on a solo album I was working on... still working on, actually. It was one thing led to another, and suddenly there we were in the studio saying, "Gee, this feels pretty good."
Lindsey Buckingham: [in a weird voice] Isn't that weird?
Christine McVie: [sarcastically] That is pretty weird.
Lindsey Buckingham: Ha ha! It was weird, actually, and that brought us to this point, so, uhh... We thought we would do a song that we had been working on together at that time, and it's called "Bleed to Love Her".

Alternate versions
The home video/DVD release features 7 extra songs that were excluded from the MTV broadcast: "Dreams" "I'm So Afraid" "Gypsy" "Go Insane" "Over My Head" "Sweet Girl" "Songbird"

WOW!

I taped this when it was on TV several years ago. Since tapes don't last, I bought the DVD recently and found several songs on it that weren't aired on TV - a great bonus! This band can still rock out! None of them are young anymore, yet they still sound nearly the same. Stevies voice has gotten a little bit rougher, but still sounds like Stevie! Christine will definitely be missed from any future works from the band. She also had a very distinctive voice and was a very talented writer as well. I found it kind of interesting how much Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham looked at each other during the performance. They couldn't keep their eyes off each other. Wonder what THAT means? Probably nothing. But they covered nearly all their big songs along with some new material. The finale with the USC Marching Band is awesome! Altogether, this was a great concert!
