Fleetwood Mac at UCLA?

[FM77]

Where would they have played at UCLA? The basketball arena? Was that used for concerts? That's the first I have heard of that.

I wondered that too. Maybe Royce Hall but that would be odd for a rock concert unless it was a special show or something.

Surely they could not be confusing the Dodger Stadium video of Tusk? I think they also appeared at a halftime performance during a USC game—maybe that was against UCLA?

I thought about it, however the Tusk video was shot the 4th of June 1979 in the empty Dodger Stadium while the halftime show you're talking about was USC versus Arizona State University on October the 4th 1980 at the LA Coliseum; Mick, Lindsey and Stevie presented the USC Trojan band a Gold record for their participation in Tusk and then the band marched with Stevie twirling the baton and Mick playing the drum, no concert that I know of.

I doubt someone would get those two confused but I do think it's very likely he was referring to the Rock N Run event from the 80s but got the info mixed up.

There doesn't seem to be an appearance by FM at UCLA

The Rock n' Run was held in 1983 and it wasn't an official Fleetwood Mac appearance but a charity event with participations of different members of various bands, on stage there were Stevie, Mick with his band when it still wasn't named The Zoo, Christine, John, Billy and Bonnie Raitt; I find this would also be difficult to mix up with a Rumours era show of the band. It's possible that the date wasn't 1977 but if the year it's wrong I think it'd be at most the previous or following Tour.

It's likely that it's the wording that it's wrong, like for the Largo shows that are actually in Landover or the Inglewood shows that aren't actually in Los Angeles, they may have not have played specifically on the Campus of UCLA but somewhere nearby.

Talking about the date, the site posted above by Street_Dreamer used to be one of the most reliable but it's not complete because for some time periods for which there aren't agreeing informations sources, in fact the dates that go from the 2nd of October to the 9th of November aren't listed at all: https://web.archive.org/web/20060510...html#itinerary

Hmmmm that's interesting. So maybe they did actually do a show there somehow but it just wasn't documented properly? If people said they were there/knew about it. If so I'm really jealous LOL. Getting to see Fleetwood Mac in the Rumours era at the beautiful UCLA area would've been like, the peak of life.
