Album Review: Rumours Live by Fleetwood Mac

Rumours Live

Fleetwood Mac

Warner Music 

Grade: A++

Have you heard the rumours? Fleetwood Mac has released yet another album. But, this time, instead of gracing listeners with a brand new collection of tunes, they’ve kicked it back to the classics. On September 8th, 2023, Fleetwood Mac released Rumours Live. With the band’s original release of the album in 1977, Rumors went on to become one of the most legendary albums of all time. An iconic mixture of musical creation and performance made them legendary and as such, the group will forever be remembered for hits such as “Dreams” and “The Chain”. How exciting then for new and old fans alike when the band released this never-before-heard collection of iconic hits – live! Recorded on Fleetwood Mac’s original Rumours Tour back in 1977, the music present on this album was recorded at the Forum, in Inglewood California. Hits from the band’s earlier album Fleetwood Mac were additionally performed at this venue and as such are featured alongside hits from the original album as well. Altogether, this album is Fleetwood Mac like you’ve never heard before. What a special way to be taken back in time to enjoy the classics in a brand new way.
