FM/BN eBooks - a resource
 
Hoping it's okay to post these here. Basically, sometimes when I have some spare time, I like to look at old Fleetwood Mac websites and the like. Some haven't been updated for a long time, and some are only available as archives. Because I like to have permanent, safe copies of information I can easily access at all times, I started collating some websites' information in the form of eBooks. I thought I'd post the links to them here. Well, the links to the ones I've completed thus far... They're not perfect but they might come in handy. *shrugs* Will update when I complete more.

They're all in ePub format which means either you need an e-reader or device capable of reading that format (an iPad, etc), or you can download software that enables you to read it on your Mac or PC:

Tour Dates and Details
- Contains dates and locations for gigs from all Fleetwood Mac tours (as well as Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks solo tours) between 1975 and 2013, as were written up by fmlegacy.com (and a few other websites when necessary for latter dates). They are written in chronological order and other information such as musicians playing and setlists are also included.

Those tour diaries were so entertaining. Is there anyway to contact Cory? I know she has continued to work with them since. I really wish she still did this!

elle 02-17-2014 01:39 PM

thanks for collecting and sharing all that, as well as other info sources you've shared Nicole! :xoxo: :nod:

another great and nicely organized resource of FM-related info is nodmod's site http://www.fleetwoodmac-uk.com/

and of course http://www.fleetwoodmacnews.com/.

also, i think not regularly updated anymore, but can still be a great source of past info - http://buckinghamnicks.net/ (sodascouts' site)

I don't really think she liked the public exposure. She always seemed non-plussed when someone recognized her at the concerts. I wish we had a diary like that for more than one tour. If she didn't want to do it, surely there would have been a crew member who would.

Does she still go out with F and Stevie? Or am I getting her mixed up with a blonde girl named Kim? If so, i'd definitely approach her. She seems so down to earth!

Cory wasn't on the Live 2013 tour.

Thanks for the promo! Yeah, at this point, it's pretty much an archive with a few updates once in a blue moon. No matter how outdated that sucker gets, though, I'm leavin' it up.

nicole21290 02-19-2014 07:00 AM

Created this today. It's basically as much as I could get from sararhiannon.com (via wayback machine) in terms of outtake/demo lyrics, and quotes from Stevie about her various songs.

It can be downloaded at my blog: http://buckinghamnicksff.blogspot.co...iannoncom.html

This is a fabulous idea, thank you for everything that has been shared.

I feel like I have totally exhausted the internet in terms of reading old but new to me Fleetwood Mac/Stevie stuff in the last year or so but all those Lindsey quotes were new to me!

:]

You are a goddess, Nicole. <3:xoxo:

MoonSister75 02-20-2014 05:00 AM

Thanks for this Nicole! I found the link to the Seeds We Sow video on your blog. I hadn't seen it before - loved it! :)

Have started another archival project just in case information and quotes contained in these FM boards disappears in the future.

Contains the majority of threads from The Ledge's Rumours board in 2002, excluding those unrelated to FM or less than, say, three posts. Signatures, avatars and attachments do not appear as this is just the streamlined text.

Have included files in both .docx for Word and .epub for eReaders.
