[vermicious knid]

Great pictures! Stevie looks like a pure white angel in that one.

Holding auditions for a female vocalist at Lindsey's house, 1967

I had never seen this one before. That must be Jody Moreing and Calvin Roper on the right, the people who preceded Stevie and Brian Kane. I assume that you copied the caption from Javier, but I doubt the caption matches the picture. It doesn't look like there is much auditioning going on. And would Jody and Calvin be present to audition their replacements?

[starshine]

Nice photos thanks for sharing them......:wavey::)

[Betsy]

Thanks Moz for finding these and sharing.


And Javier for his myspace...thanks Javier, wherever you are!

Goodness, watching Lindsey hairstyle changes is a study in itself. Michele

[gldstwmn]

Is Lindsey holding a Rickenbacker in one of those photos? Thanks for the great photos!

[DeeGeMe]

Love seeing those Pre-FM years pics! Thansk so much for posting those for us!

[macpai]

Those are wild! What a trip!!

[SteveMacD]

Is Lindsey holding a Rickenbacker in one of those photos? Thanks for the great photos!

Yep. I've often wondered why he never tried a Rickenbacker with Fleetwood Mac.

[PenguinHead]

Much thanks for the photos!!! What a wonderful glimpse into the groovy past. It's so fun to see Stevie and Lindsey steeped (sic?) in their hippie sixties fashion. Makes you realize how long they've been in the business; it's impressive that they are still doing it.

[Sanne2]

It's crazy to think that they opened for Janis and Jimi.

[SteveMacD]

It's crazy to think that they opened for Janis and Jimi.
"Opened" is a somewhat strong term. A lot of venues will let a local group play a set whenever a national act plays the venue. There's a local covers band here in Dayton that played at the venue when the Zoo were in town in 1992. They weren't otherwise on any of the Zoo's bills, so calling them the "opening act" is somewhat of a stretch.

Still, I wonder how much a poster would be worth had they ever been on the same bill as Fleetwood Mac back in say 1970. It could've happened. Lord knows the Mac played on the same bills as those guys. (And, Danny Kirwan was all but raped by Janis Joplin...)

[LukeA]

"Opened" is a somewhat strong term.

Yes, it is. You aren't really "opening" for a headlining band when you're playing at an all-day festival several hours before said headliner takes the stage.

These are incredible photos, though!

Javier's myspace. He has some real gems on there.

[EveryHour]

It's crazy to think that they opened for Janis and Jimi.

Even if "opened" is a strong term, it's still amazing to see a photo of that *moment*, given all of the stories we've heard of how much it meant to Stevie to see Janis that night and how it changed her.

It's great seeing everyone in their mod best! Especially Lindsey. His short tie! (And, god, he looks gorgeous...........)

I couldn't agree more. :)

Thanks for posting these!

[ragandbone]

Thanks for posting these - I had only seen one or two of them before.
I love the posters.

[David]

Thanks for posting these - I had only seen one or two of them before.
I love the posters.Where have you BEEN?! :wavey:

Looking at these photos, I am confirmed in my view that Javier was the most talented & most interesting member of the band. He was a better keyboardist than Chris McVie, & he could write wonderful, complex songs like "In the Dawn."

[ragandbone]

Where have you BEEN?! :wavey:
:wavey: Oh, I have just been working a lot, and still spend most internet spare time on that singing site.
I think I am gonna hang out a bit more here :D

[trackaghost]

Hey Eliza, nice to see you back!

[JeannieKartis]

From an outhouse! :laugh: That would be all sorts of amazing.

[ragandbone]

Hey Eliza, nice to see you back!
:wavey: Thanks! That made me smile.

These pictures are great. Lindsey was a total baby face. And Stevie was a cute girl.

[StreetAngel86]

Lindsey's hair...:laugh:
