Default What the hell is this?

I don't do drugs and I don't believe in the Twilight Zone, so I think all the documentaries and articles (including Mick's book ) have deceived us.

I just found the picture showed in this link, an extraordinary poster of a Fleetwood Mac concert (with other bands) from Nov 11, 1970. The date seems to be correct, it is detailed in concertarchives.org

The poster costs 33.40 €, and since it's more than 50 years old, it is a jewel. Unfortunately, it seems the item is not available anymore, cause the seller is... away.

I would be VERY leery of it being original. I see posters like this all the time at flea markets. They're usually $10, and you know the artist is getting screwed on any payment.

This doesn't look genuine to me at all! The style doesn't look like 1970 and the pic is a weird one. And 10 copies available?! For that price?! I absolutely smell a rat there!

Complete scam. 1977 lineup with 1970 concert date.

Like I said, I see these at flea markets ALL THE TIME. That look EXACTLY like this one. I have even bought a few, although I don't have them hanging in my house(maybe I've finally grown up enough to not have concert posters all over my walls? ).
They exist in a poster pile beneath my bed...

Looking on the web, the Mac did tour the States in 1970 but the tour of the States was over by September 1970. They went back to England and the tour picked up in October 1970 and it appears they were in England in November 1970 regardless of the photo on the poster being incorrect.

It is the first time I see a fake poster. Well, an obvious fake poster. Probably I've seen fake ones where they were careful to be believable.

I thought the date and place was correct cause I found this page, where it mentions Palace Theatre, Nashville on that date.

https://www.concertarchives.org/conc...1-05cab63135f3

However, googling further, I found this. So, even if they took the Concorde, I really doubt they were playing in a different country the next day. Macfan4life info is right then.

Lindsey and Stevie were not in the band in 1970...... the pic on the poster shows the Rumours line up during the Rumours era. These posters have literally been around since I was in college in the 80sssssssss....
