Opening acts for Fleetwood Mac

[pattyfan]

When I saw them in SF at the Cow Palace on the Tusk tour, Danny Douma and Night Eyes (whoever they are, I have no idea why I still remember their name) opened. They were horrible. The funny thing is that at the end of their set, the drummer threw his sticks in the audience, and a second later whoever got them threw them back!

I reference the dates when trying to recall which shows I saw--so many shows over so many decades that I can't always keep it straight. I do not have all of my old tourbooks and tix-sadly.

No support for The Dance that I know of but I only saw the two Detroit shows. I was certain that was the last I/we would see of them. I skipped 2003 but caught the last two tours. I am so happy that I saw them this year--amazing show.

^ There were more tour dates for the "Time" era band in late 1993 and early 1994. I can't remember the exact dates but there were several shows I attended in Florida. These shows may not have been part of an official tour, perhaps more of a warm up type gigs for the new line-up. They were very small venues. I have a newspaper article from West Palm Beach about this new Time line-up and Florida shows. Shows included: West Palm Beach at the Carefree Theater, Pompono Beach at the Amplitheater, SUN? Festival in West Palm Beach, and The Florida Theater in Jacksonville. Maybe there were others?

For BTM tour I saw Fleetwood Mac two nights in a row at Great Woods in Mass. One night Squeeze opened up the other night was World Party due to a schedule conflict or something.

That reminds me of Sunday Break 2 in Sept 1976-- America, Steve Miller, The Band, Chicago, England Dan...FM.

You've all prob seen the photos:

Off topic but...

Can you imagine Christine and Stevie traveling
down the interstate with a tour bus full of cans.
And being late for a tour date Christine realizes
that the bus seems sluggish. So to lose some of
the excess weight she says to Stevie...

Was that a pie stand back there?


I'll finish the story at a later date.

Oh I am sure you are correct--I was just reminded of that festival and sailing down memory lane. That show is one of those wish I could have been there shows for me.

(In Stevie's fat days)
"Stevie, it's either the cans, or we begin liposuction NOW!"

All while Lindsey is chucking JFK's golf clubs at her!

And it is all about Kramer! Have you seen the new show "Kirstie" yet? He's basically playing Kramer. I think it's going to be a big hit!

I just watched the debut episode yesterday. I was nearly falling off of the couch from laughter.

Me too. I think this is the best original show TVLand has produced. I could almost seeing a "real" network snapping it up!

I don't think the show is funny at all, but his giving visitors a tour of the city in her car was definitely a nod to Kramer.

Must've been the incarnation of The Band WITHOUT Robbie Robertson after they'd reformed in the late 80's after Richard Manuel's suicide. I'd agree that their opening for Fleetwood Mac would've most likely have been during Fleetwood Mac's '94/'95 tour.
(I refuse to use the term Time tour because they DIDN'T tour after the album was released. They may have done less than 5 shows subsequent to it's release, but that's it.)
