Wow, I love that Stevie picture! Do you have that clipping, can you scan it larger?

Some more pictures from that day, backstage:

I know for sure the previous pictures are from Day On The Green '76, but I'm not completely sure about these, they look like they could be from that day but FM did so damn many outside shows in 1976 they can easily be from another concert:

Yeah, it's hard to know for sure, but I kinda think they are from Oakland. The flowers bunched up in front of the floor wedges look similar in all the shots with flowers. And it was certainly the sort of event that brought out the photographers. Thanks, Sanne!

edit: Forgot to add I don't have that clipping. Also, what song is TROUBLE, TROUBLE in the review?

Ha. I saw UFO open for Jethro Tull way back when.

I didn't know that U.F.O. was a band, so I was wondering what the sticker meant. I'm glad you cleared it up!

I always thought the gypsy look really worked for Chris. I love her look during this era!

It's on the same album as "Days of the Sun."

UFO also opened for Fleetwood Mac at UC Santa Barbara, the show that was filmed for the Rosebud video.

UFO's "six degrees" to Fleetwood Mac: their keyboardist, Paul Raymond, took Christine Perfect's place in Chicken Shack (and later was in Savoy Brown with Dave Walker)

Ok, that's your snippet of trivia for the day...pass it on.

And that reinforces my believe in cycles
