1976 University of California outdoor show

[tdfwiner]

Does anyone know how much of the outdoor University of California show from 1976 exists? Or any of the other early outdoor/daytime shows for that matter. I just saw this clip for the first time a couple of days ago and it got me craving the whole concert again.

That show is obviously most famous for it's version of I'm so Afraid and there's also an awesome clip of World Turning floating around but I've never seen the whole show anywhere.

Someone really needs to light a fire under them so they'll actually clean up and release some pre-1987 dvds for us.

I'm sure there's film of the entire concert in some storage vault somewhere.

I was about 25 yards from the stage...straight out from Christine's side. One awesome show.

The opening acts were Small Wonder (from Canada)... Small Wonder on "Midnight Special" (the keyboardist is Jimmy Phillips who 5 years later was Burton Cummings keyboardist when my band opened for him...to help cut down on set up time between acts, he let me use his keyboards for our set...really nice guy.)

...and UFO (one of the last shows with Michael Schenker before he went on the infamous AWOL).

FMac opened their set with "Sunny Side Of Heaven" and somewhere in the middle even played an early arrangement of "Go Your Own Way.

Thank you for posting those, I really enjoyed them.

Fans don't have anything more than what's been part of Rosebud all these years. This stuff is listed on the vault inventory that Ken Caillat tracked down:

http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showthread.php?t=3583

It's at the top: Remote @ UC Santa Barbara

Or any of the other early outdoor/daytime shows for that matter.

I'm fascinated by the inventory items about 15 lines down from the top:

Rosebud Films / Remote @ Japan
Remote @ Hawaii / Rosebud Films

They didn't tour Hawaii or Japan in 1976, but they did in 1977. Japan was, as everyone knows, in early December, & Hawaii gigs brought the tour to an end in mid-December.

That show is obviously most famous for it's version of I'm so Afraid and there's also an awesome clip of World Turning floating around but I've never seen the whole show anywhere.

Again, these things were included on the Rosebud promo, which ran full-length on Midnight Special & was also broadcast full-length about ten years ago on VH1 Classic. (WORLD TURNING picks up with the talking drum solo, unfortunately, & is used as a backdrop for the film credits, unfortunately again.)

Someone really needs to light a fire under them so they'll actually clean up and release some pre-1987 dvds for us.

Best of luck.
