Amazon.com: Oh, the heartache. Oh, the drug intake. And oh, the sales records they did break. It's all here in this 70-minute, 1997 chronicle of the making of one of pop music's biggest albums ever, Rumours. All five members of Fleetwood Mac's most successful incarnation are interviewed, and their comments are even more candid than the confessional songs ('Dreams,' 'Go Your Own Way' et al.) on the album itself; descriptions of the torturous process of making a record while John and Christine McVie's marriage and the Lindsey Buckingham- Stevie Nicks liaison were breaking up at the same time makes for compelling, if slightly discomfiting, viewing. Meanwhile, lest one forget that Rumours was terrific as well as revealing, plenty of attention is paid to the songs. Particularly fascinating (as with most Classic Albums packages) are the breakdowns of the separate instrumental and vocal components of individual tracks. A great tale, wonderfully told. --Sam Graham

Rating: - Excellent behind the music documentary
This comes from the great "Classic Albums" series and is a fantastic look behind the making of Rumours. Featuring interviews with all band members and their producers you get a real sense of the turmoil and creativity that went into each song.
From the conception of many of the songs to how they became layered, completed mixes, I love hearing each songwriter's story. There are a few performances such as "You make loving fun", "Dreams" and the "Chain" but this is not for you if you just want to see live performances. Nevertheless this is a great doco,
Rating: - a behind the scenes of the making of one of the most important albums of all time
it's good to go back and see how the band members felt and recall their time in making this very important album. i just love how the engineers and producers can go back to the studio and select different tracks, break them down so you can hear what went into them instrument by instrument. lindsey buckingham is a wizard in the studio. stevie nicks and christine mcvie are philosophical about those times and are interviewed in nice settings. mick and john are their practical selves. yea the music clips come up a little short. but it's not a concert tape. i'm glad they could put some of those clips in. an important look back on the making of one of the most important albums of all time.

It's Fleetwood Mac, what can I say? Anything involving their music and history is a plus. You just gotta love it!!
Rating: - ok...
We bought this DVD because we enjoy watching concerts on our surround sound system. But this is more a documentary then a concert. Like something you would see on VH1, Behind the Music. A little disappointing.
