Taping of Don Kirshner's Rock Concert TV show, Long Beach Center Theatre, August 1974 (actual date escapes me at the moment).

First public concert, was a couple of months later at Long Beach Arena. Climax Blues Band was opening act.

I will be seeing the Mac in December for the first time. Just wanted to say that I am so envious to those of who who got to see them in 75-82. I would give anything to travel back in time!

Here is the reminiscence I posted about it on the ledge :

Ironically, I've been going to Stevie solo shows since I was 8 years old back in '83, but my first Mac show wasn't until SYW in Nashville back in '03. Really excited about this reunion tour. Only after seeing ALL 5 members together will I consider myself as having "truly SEEN" Fleetwood Mac. :)

I've always loved that song, naturally. :p It's vastly better than the "other" Louie Louie song. ;)

I wish I'd been there to see them, but sadly enough, I never saw them live....

So the +1 is for you/your experience :nod:

October 1975 at the Boston Garden, on a double bill with Jefferson Starship. "Over My Head" was on its way up the charts, and the band were poised on the verge of megastardom. They opened with "Get Like You Used To Be" and closed with "Hypnotized." They used the backdrop of a silhouette of a big tree and the moon. No backing singers and musicians, just the five of them. They were fantastic!

I'd give anything to go back in time and see this band in all its various lineups.

My first FM concert was the Say You Will show in Dallas, TX on July 3, 2003. I will always remember screaming like a banshee during Come and ISA and the guy sitting in front of my friend and I turned around and gave me a dirty look. His friend, then proceeded to turn around and smile at me. Hee!! :nod:

This time more than any other is when I would have wished to see them!

March 2, 1969. Rotterdam (NL), concerthall De Doelen.
So long ago, and so much has happened to those great guys Peter, Danny and Jeremy. And now John..:distress:
Still, I have great memories of those days although they start fading.

That concert is on the short list of the greatest moments of my life.
