Reviews of "The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac" Release Party
This is a fan party to celebrate the release of the album. It took place at Omega Club in DC.
I was fortunate enough to be able to attend "The Very Best Of Fleetwood
Mac" promotional party in Washington DC on October 12, 2002! Wow, it
was quite a night! So many feelings-- and some of them were because of
the road trip to Washington DC. My friend Mo and I drove southward on
I-95, passing by Silver Springs, realizing Stevie named a song after
that very town, "because it sounded like a pretty fabulous place."
A very sick and demented person has brought a lot of heartache to our
nation, and that very special place. Our thoughts and prayers are with
the people, families and friends of those who have been hurt and killed
from this whole area.
We were relieved to just arrive. We were welcomed by many Stevie Nicks
and Fleetwood Mac fans-- and some very incredible music! October 12
happened to be the day that the "Tusk" album was released to the world;
so, along with celebrating the new album, we were clearly celebrating
"Tusk"'s birthday! Stevie's song "Sara" got a special "spotlight" on
two really fabulous birthday cakes made for the occasion.
There were flowers on either end of a long table: roses and sunflowers
for some special friends' birthdays-- and also in honor of Stevie Nicks.
There were some gorgeous Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks posters and
pictures, as well as a few Top Hats, and tambourines throughout the
room. Brand NEW copies of the new "The Very Best Of Fleetwood Mac" were
awarded to attendees as their names were pulled out of a hat. A few
fortunate people also received mini posters and window clings of the new
album.
I saw some people receive other Fleetwood Mac and Stevie albums, as
well-- "Rumours," "Fleetwood Mac LIVE," and "Fleetwood Mac" (self
titled, 'the white album') were all represented, as was Stevie Nicks'
"Bella Donna," "Wild Hearts," "Rock A Little," "The Other Side Of The
Mirror" and "Trouble in Shangri-La." They even gave out a few copies of
"The Dance, DVD"! I hadn't ever been to a promo gathering before, but
if there is going to be one for Fleetwood Mac's NEW album (4/03?), "Save
Me A Place." :o)
This promo party definitely gave some serious grass roots exposure for
Fleetwood Mac, as not everyone in attendance were fans! Many other
videos were played, but clearly the evening was dominated by Fleetwood
Mac. The highlight of the night for me was just being able to enjoy
some crystal clear videos and wonderful music with some very special
friends. Let's do it AGAIN!
Here are just some of the some of the songs that were featured:

Kudos and special thank yous to Reprise, Rhino and VJTre for giving us
all a giant Fleetwood Mac Attack! :o) love, blackcat
I just want to thank everyone who attended "The Very Best of
Fleetwood Mac" CD release party last Saturday, Oct. 12th at Omega DC.
I've been VJing for about 2 years now and I couldn't wait for the day I
would get to host an official Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks party at the
club. Our music format usually is more dance and pop oriented, but it
was great to have a breath of fresh air. I wasn't sure what to expect,
but a lot of fans showed up and I couldn't have been more pleased. We
had cakes, candles, flowers and framed Stevie posters on the walls. It
was definitely a festive atmosphere filled with lots of fans and great
Mac and Stevie music videos. For those that couldn't make it this time,
mark you calendars for April. I'll most likely have another release
party for the new CD. What a great way to start our 2003 Fleetwood Mac
summer eh? I hope to see you all there.

(baaaa!) ... the closing song of the night was "Landslide"
I had a terrific time at the Omega Club’s “The Very Best of Fleetwood
Mac” promotional party. What a feeling to walk into a club and hear
something beautiful and familiar. The music of Fleetwood Mac. A large,
excited crowd had turned out to welcome the new Fleetwood Mac release.
There were videos, there was cake, there was music, there were
birthdays, and there were fans. There was a VJ who treated us to such
video gems as “I Can’t Wait.” “Gypsy” “Hold Me” “Big Love” “The Chain
(from the mirage video)” “If Anyone Falls” and my favorite, the
beautiful “Rooms on Fire.” Seeing the videos made me long for the day
when they are released on DVD. The heavily Stevie flavored music had
everyone in the place dancing, swirling, and celebrating the new ‘Very
Best of Fleetwood Mac’ release. A special thanks to VJTre for a
wonderful night of great music from old friends. I look forward to the
next Fleetwood Mac new release celebration party. I had a time! - Keith,
Washington, D.C.
