Default Show Me a Smile, Live on TV?

I have posted this inquiry before--say three or four years ago. But in light of this "Lay it All Down" video from 1971 I figured it couldn't hurt to try again.

In a book on FM published in 1977 (it was a small pocket-sized book) Stevie Nicks said she knew very little of the band before she joined, and then added "I remember seeing Christine perform 'Show Me a Smile' on TV and thought it was great she was in the band."

Does anyone anywhere know of this performance? Does anyone have it?

I believe this was a BBC performance from mid 1971. As far as I know, no one has this. I've been looking for this for years.

Some years ago, someone on The Ledge listed the Fleetwood Mac BBC performances. The 1971 performance included "Show Me A Smile" & I think a Bob Welch song & maybe a Danny Kirwan song.

MacFan it is always a pleasure to run into you on this site. Thanks for the response. I would LOVE if this BBC performance from 1971 ever came to light.

The Bob Welch song: "Lay It All Down"
The Danny Kirwan song: "Dragonfly" (w/Bob Welch on rhythm guitar)

I knew it! "Show Me A Smile" was the catalyst song that Stevie Nicks saw/heard that convinced her to join FM. It's the perfect post '74 Mac song lost on 1971's "Future Games".


According to Mick Fleetwood, when he was depressed with the band that made millions, he brought out the Peter Green era live material to play for the new members. Since that's the band he wanted from the beginning; Mick's right, it would've been a Led Zeppelin/Stones type band with Peter Green/Danny Kirwan, and it would've been a Rock monster instead of a Pop monster.
