My first live Fleetwood Mac experience was August or September 1974...the taping of Don Kirshner's Rock Concert around the time that Heroes Are Hard To Find was released.

My first public Fleetwood Mac concert was a few months later in December 1974 at the Long Beach Arena. Climax Blues Band opened. It was one of the last shows of the tour, if not THE last show...and therefore, Bob Welch's last show as a member of Fleetwood Mac.

Just as a side note, the first TICKETS I ever bought for a Fleetwood Mac concert turned out to be one of the shows that WOULD'VE been the "Bogus Fleetwood Mac" that finished the Mystery To Me tour....a local DJ spread the word that the Fleetwood Mac on the road wasn't the "real" Fleetwood Mac, so I got a refund...had I known what a collector's item it would've been, I would've just eaten the cost of the ticket...but when you're 17 and money-poor, those ideas don't hit home quite so fast.

Can you tell a little bit about the show... Love to hear it..

My first show will be on 22nd October, in Glasgow. I can't wait!

August 13, 2003 in Kansas City then subsequently on August 15 in St. Louis... seems like so long ago... but it also seems just like yesterday too.

That's so funny-- today is the 8th year anniversary of my first Fleetwood Mac related show. It was Stevie at the Concord Pavillion. I met her at that show. October 1st must be a good day all the way around :)


My first FM show, however, was May 20th, 2009. Front row seats and the chance to meet Mick. When it comes to this band, apparently I have a trend of going big or going home....

Wow! That reminded me daniellaaarisen, I saw Stevie solo in Atlanta... Mustve been July '01? Great show. Hot as though.

Hey Amy..

That's the same tour I went to here in Houston. We had like 3rd row seats, but unfortunately, I don't remember a lot from this show, other than Stevie had on that red cape, singing Sara, and I was just mezmorized.. I also remember loving them singing "TUSK" as it sounded great...

Hugs,

Arlene

First Fleetwood Mac show.. front row center, opening night of the SYW tour, Columbus, OH.

Stevie CANCELED the TISL shows I was to attend, even while adding additional shows to other markets. But I'm not bitter :)

My first show was on July 16, 1995 Time tour at the Rock Fest in Cadott Wisconsin. I was pretty underwhelmed but it was still a thrill to see Fleetwood Mac for the first time. First time with classic lineup was at the Riverfront Colesium in Cincinnati on 10-3-1997. I'll never forget driving 700 miles from Minnneapolis thru the night with no sleep to get to that show.:lol:

Hello Holidayroad & all: My only FM concert was Dec.1, 1979. On the "Tusk" tour at the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls, Iowa. A great show, although Stevie was suffering with a throat problem (which was dealt with in 1980). Attendance was close to 23,000 which was a Dome record at the time. A very special, (and unforgettable) show.
