Fleetwood Mac at UCLA?

[dreamsunwind]

I was visiting a friend of mine who goes to UCLA and she told me that her professor for a music class said that "Fleetwood Mac played here in the 70s". She said he was saying that it was during their big tour for Rumours. But I've never heard about them giving a concert at UCLA in those days? I know they did the Rock N Run in the 80s but I'm pretty sure I've never seen anything about a Rumours era show there. Where it would even have been held?

Does anyone know anything?

This gave me a sort of deja vu so I made a couple of researches and I suddenly remembered that it was actually a debated matter.

Basically most sites listing the dates of the Rumours Tour don't feature a UCLA date but only a date in Santa Barbara at the UC Stadium on the 2nd of October 1977 (which was a rescheduled from May due to bad weather, and Stevie apparently dedicated Landslide to the opening act Kenny Loggins) and then two consecutive dates in San Diego on the 3rd and 4th, but some reliable Ledgies said they in fact remembered/attended a UCLA date on the 4th of October 1977 during which Stevie famously dedicated Landslide to Lindsey, from which it generated this famous internet quote:

I need to dedicate this tonight to Lindsey and he knows why; he’s my one true love for now and for always. It’s called Landslide.

Honestly I think it's highly likely that both dates are incorrect and the UCLA date was on the 3rd of October which is Lindsey's birthday and thus Stevie dedicated Landslide to him, but that's just my assumption.

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.

Oh that's interesting wow. When she told me about it I at first immediately assumed it was referencing the Rock N Run event but she swears up and down that he said it was "in the 70s when they had that big album Rumours". I wonder if anyone here was around in those days and could offer some insight?
