But neither Chris nor Danny wanted to continue without a third writer, and Clifford Davies had booked a British club tour beginning June 4, which gave us about a month to try and find a new world-class guitarist who could sing and write.
Judy Wong found him.
Bob Welch saved Fleetwood Mac. We hired him without an audition.


Fleetwood: My Life and Adventures in Fleetwood Mac. Mick Fleetwood with Stephen Davis. 1990
Without Bob, the band probably doesn't make it past 1975. He was the one who was at the forefront of saving/retaining the band's name then later moving from England to LA. It's unforgivable how Mick, John and Christine treated him after his departure. They all owe him a debt of gratitude. Then of course now this whole situation with Lindsey. Guess we all should have seen it coming.
