Night twelve of The Tusk Tour
2nd of two shows
November 12,1979
Uniondale(Long Island),New York
Venue: Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum



November 12, 1979 Fleetwood Mac performs the second of two nights tonight in Uniondale, New York(Long Island) at the Nassau Coliseum.
I remember an actual review of this show from all those years ago and the thing I most remember is the quote that there were "thousands upon thousands of empty seats." The reviewer was making two points. One: ticket prices were too expensive and two: the Tusk album was not well received.
I'm guessing that Stevie must have felt overwhelmed by the sheer amount of shows that Mick had scheduled for the Tusk Tour and was afraid of what it would do to her voice.
She mentioned some years later that at the beginning of the Tusk Tour she had many nightmares about "walking on stage, opening her mouth to sing and nothing came out, no sound at all. And that the band and the audience just stared at her."
"One of her friends took her to see a Specialist who prescribed shots for her that would de-swell her vocal chords." Stevie said she would get these shots before playing in big cities like New York or Los Angeles.
