Nice to see all these pictures of Stevie. Not many of her backing band though.

What are they called again? Oh yes Fleetwood Mac

This is a valid point which has been asked of me more than once in this thread. Gail, as a long time fan like you and me have been, I know you are aware that most photographers who go to FM shows or Stevie shows and the majority of the pics they take are/were/will be of Stevie Nicks. I know you are a huge fan of Christine's and that is teriffic but the one issue I have with the rest of FM is without Stevie in the photo I usually wouldn't be able to tell you what tour a photo is from. Other than with a bearded Lindsey it would be hard to determine what year he was in as well.
I think most people want to see pics of Stevie more than any other member. Yes The Ledge Boards are about Fleetwood Mac 1967-present, but the majority of photos representing the group will be of her.
I/we would gladly welcome any Tusk photos of Christine you would like to share. Next week when I cover the England shows please feel free to post all the photos you took of Chris, John, Mick and Lindsey when you saw them at Wembley.

I don't object to photos of Stevie and I don't doubt that most people want to see pictures of Stevie but surely we can have a bit of balance here.

I would love to share any photos I had but Wembley was strictly no cameras - and yes my bag was searched.

Try to identify what instruments they're playing, which (sometimes but not always) helps ID the year.

Nico 06-12-2008 04:18 PM

I was going to say something about this thread (like why not rename it and stick it in the Stevie section), but I guess I haven't posted any pictures to have any validity there. Either way, Lindsey was way hotter- and more interesting- during this period for me. But, yes, I am in the minority. Continue with the "Stevie Nicks Tusk Tour" pictorial chronology. Her dresses are cute.

Why? He looked great in that. Also Gypsy0033 thank you many times over for those rare gems!!! I had never seen any of those before except the last two. I love that photo of Stevie in the long red cape.

I always pictured Wembley Arena having the same "feel" as The Forum in LA. Hey, is the Arena right next door to Wembley Stadium?

vivfox, the only thing great about that jacket was that it
covered up that shirt! :shocked:

iamnotafraid 06-20-2008 02:32 AM

I forgot to mention that I do appreciate the pictures being posted.
Thanks.

Aesthetically, Wembley Arena is closer to the L.A. Sports Arena than the Forum, but its a legendary concert venue nonetheless. A better comparison is the Budokan in Tokyo (another classic concert venue)

Actually, he "lost" it before the Tusk tour even started. That pic is a '78 pic.

She also makes me want to have a glass of (milk)?

Gypsy0033 06-20-2008 04:45 PM

I know we are up to Wembly, but here's something i clipped out of the paper years ago. It was also my first ever rock concert. ( I was 15) :)
This was a half page add.

Would like to say a big thank you. I went to one of the Tusk shows at Wembley Arena - I was around 16 years old and it was fantastic, but I don't remember Stevie looking like that, but it was a long time ago! I should imagine after doing such a long tour Stevie was probably very tired - living the life style they all lived back then. Thanks for the photos they are fantastic.:angel:

I have this same newspaper clipping but from the New York Times and my version says in the top right corner, "only 2 New York City Performances!" Just like that with an exclamation mark at the end.

Because it was my very first Mac concert. He wore a dark blue Fruit of the Loom t-shirt and very tight jeans.

After this show celebrity guest Bette Midler joined Fleetwood Mac, friends, family and crew backstage for that infamous pie in your face party. I only have two photos from this fun filled event. If anyone has more please feel free to post.
After this show the band takes a month off for vacation and the tour resumes April 30th.

This thread brings back so many memories for so many people. I can't believe it is 28 years ago today - my first Mac concert,I was only 16 and the first big concert I had ever been to. Little did I know that FWM would be a part of the rest of my life. I remember going up to London for the day and it all seemed to big, and there was a massive anti nuclear demonstration going on in Oxford Street, it was so amazing. Then we went to Carnaby Street that was still quite hippyish. Then to Wembley, I don't remember if there was a support act and I can't find the tickets. Our seats were about 3/4 way down and we had a pretty good view. I was mesmorized throughout. Strangely enough I don't remember much about Lindsey - Christine and Stevie stayed in my memories (strange because at Say You Will it was def. Lindsey who made the concert special). My favourite song from the Mac at that time was Angel. The whole concert was brilliant and then at the end (worrying about getting the last train home) just walking out and Christine came on in the darkness and did Songbird - it was just fantastic. I feel very excited about i just thinking about it. Is there anyone else on here that went to that concert?:]


Anyway, thanks for the Thread and for all the memories.
