Buckingham/Nicks live January 1975
This is a really good concert. If the date is correct, it would have been recorded after joining Fleetwood Mac. Its funny that they open with Lola which sort of became the Chain which also opened so many of their shows. They perform Monday Morning, Blue Letter, I Don't Want To Know as well as their Buck/Nicks songs. A really good Crystal too. Excellent quality.

That Buckingham Nicks Rhiannon always reminds me of how important Fleetwood Mac was to making some of these songs work. Mr. Fleetwood and the McVie’s really bring it all together in comparison to this.

This is good, but it's not amazing like FM. |

They were a good act. But their sole album is wildly overrated (exception: Frozen Love) and despite claims for originality they did sound familiar, even occasionally derivative. It was the mix of their attributes with Christine's voice, and that powerhouse rhythm section that made all of them. |

Especially after listening to MTM and Heroes. Those albums are really really better than I've given them credit for. |
They are really good here. It sort of reminds me of that Reeses Peanut Buttercup commercial that aired around this time. Chocolate is so good. Peanut Butter is so good. But when you put them both together its a dream. Fleetwood Mac was already excellent but Lindsey's powers and her cult persona took everything to another level.
Clearly they were not amateurs listening to this concert. |

What is the name of the Stevie Nicks song that begins at 32:00? It is somewhat reminiscent of what would later become "Silver Springs".
While there are moments of brilliance, this concert is rough. Their live sound is very staccato--at times choppy and mechanical. Of course, having no money at the time, they probably weren't playing with the most elaborate and expensive sound system. I've always assumed that Fleetwood Mac needed Buckingham & Nicks to break through. I now think it might be the other way around. |
