I believe you. I remember reading that Glenn did not exclusively do the entire second half after Men At Work left the bill. I think I actually remember reading that Glenn only performed one night at the Forum. So it totally makes sense that Dave played the night you saw them.

Danny Douma opened...
Danny Douma AllMusic Review by Rob Theakston The opening harmonics on "Hurt to Pride" make it sound promising, but then the band kicks in and Danny Douma's debut recording seems mildly flaccid at first, echoing the musical DNA of several other southern California acts of the '70s. But as the recording continues, things pick up steam and Douma starts to develop a unique sound of his own. It's a polished effort through and through, with concerted efforts to break the mold of southern California rock. At times Douma succeeds with flying colors, and at other times he fails miserably. The big hit here, however, is "Hate You," a bluesy laid-back shuffle affair (think Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop"), which features everyone in the Mac (minus Stevie Nicks) and Eric Clapton as his backing band. Douma never made another album after this -- which is both a curiosity and an enigma, considering that his potential as a singer/songwriter could have been so much more with a bit more https://youtu.be/2AcXBZWKFw4 |

Men at Work were slated to open originally, but when Fleetwood's LA shows were postponed to late October, Men at Work was out because of scheduling conflicts and Dave Mason and Jim Krueger were hired to open. The two did an acoustic set at the Forum. Glenn Frey was an opener for the specially arranged Irvine Meadows show, a medical benefit (also featuring Don Henley, Boz Scaggs, Joe Walsh, and JD Souther) and in Oakland.

We used to crack a tasteless joke about the Irvine Meadows (Verizon Wireless) show that Stevie Nicks was sharing a stage with four of her boyfriends (Mick, Lindsey, Don, and JD) and a fifth on the way (Joe). I think it still holds the world record.
Doug already mentioned Danny Douma and the Night Eyes. They were the opener in California in 1979. I have totally forgot what they sound like. Speaking of openers, there was one time I recall where I loved the opener much more than the headliner's performance: Squeeze (one of the tastiest pop bands of its era, and I think fronted by Paul Carrack at that time) opened for Fleetwood in 1990 - and I think many of us really would have preferred that they stay onstage and Mac just stay backstage in the greenroom.

Reading that, now I wonder how would have been the Carpenters' future during the 80s if Karen had not died or suffered anorexia.

I know Christopher Cross still tours, although I've never seen a date anywhere near me. I love that first album, and would go! Although I'll bet he's doing theaters, at best now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIza6AvI4MA I think its an over statement that MTV killed Cross's career. He suffered a bit of a sophomoric jinx that came shortly. In 1981 he was top of the world. Several Grammy awards, Oscar for best song, 2 #1 songs and one #2 (ride like the wind) that really should have been #1 but I think "Physical" which was #1 for 9 weeks screwed it out of the #1 spot. His music was not as good as his first album as he embraced the synth pop of the mid 80's. Another star Paul McCartney also flopped mid 80s. He released 2 albums in the mid 80s that yielded NO hits let alone a hit video. It was because the music was crap. He embraced the synth pop which almost killed his career. This was post Say Say Say with Michael Jackson. Say what you will but Sailing and Ride Like the Wind hold up so much that they could be released today. Popcorn anyone? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIza6AvI4MA

Y'all know the FM trivia on him, right? He once drove a limo and drove members of FM one night.

And that was a complete 80s and/or MTV factor.
