JetSet Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Fleetwood Mac ~ Rhiannon ~ The Old Grey Whistle Test ~ 1976 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nagPkGVbvE I rememember this first time around. I can say without hesitation that this is the greatest rock video of all time, I've probably watched it 20 times since I rediscovered on YouTube. People think of Fleetwood Mac as soft rock, nothing soft about this, an absolute masterpiece. Off to watch it again now Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimgallaher Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Nothing like a bit of Queens of the stone age, or Kyuss to liven things up, heres the best of both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimgallaher Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I agree about the misconception that Fleetwood Mac were soft rock, I was dragged, not quite kicking and screaming to see them at Wembley arena in 1980, tusk tour I think. One of the best gigs I'd ever been to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I can say without hesitation that this is the greatest rock video of all time, Pete er........no. This is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0CQ_Z4LjLg I was there 20 feet from the front with Freddie Mercury's own tambourine I caught in the crowd at Wembley Arena 2 years earlier - the night John Lennon died coincidentally. The band themselves say this was one of the best gigs they ever did. It was hastily rearranged as it should have been at Highbury but The Pope had nicked all the portable toilets in London !! Highlight of this is definately 40,000 pogo-ing which causes the ground to shake all the cameras! Oh yeah - before this they'd just played Bohemian Rhapsody.
