Any Behind The Mask photos?
 

Has anyone got some group photos from this era they can share? Even the official site with its new gallery has missed this era of the group. There's a couple in particular I've been looking for and can't find, including one where Stevie is sitting and wearing a hat and another where she's standing and wearing the dress she wore to the MTV awards (I think!)
Thanks in advance! :)

Edit: here's two I've found but I'm sure there are many more

I scanned that bottom one. Can't believe it's still out there.

I don't know if it is to tell the truth, I had it saved on my computer!

My favorite BTM era photo -- from the tour rehearsals.

God I love this shot! It's so powerful and big! I love things like this!

Oh what I would do to be able to be a part of a big rock and roll tour, just once!!!!:angel:

Christine looked so beautiful those days...

As did Ms Nicks... (most of the time)

And you know what? The band actually looked happy, something we haven't seen that often.

They do seem happy in those days.

Some of these photos are from 1987 or early 1988 rather than 1990, but we all sort of lump everything into the one Billy-&-Rick Era.

David, Matt, MacMan thank you all, you are awesome!
But MacMan wins because he posted the two exact photos I was after:

Thank you!

There's a 1987 interview with Christine where she talks about that happy attitude (plus a lot of other band-member history she talks quite freely about):

They did seem happy during that time. So what happened? :(

Chris:
Another great idea that sadly never came to be....

What do I win :D

Exactly what I was going to post, but you beat me to it. :shrug:

Are you guys being serious or keeping up the act? I meant of course Behind The Mask-era photos featuring Billy and Rick rather than just promos for the album from 1990. I'll remember to be more specific next time since it irks you so.

Isn't knowing the joy you've brought me with those photos enough reward? :D

Personally I think of the 'Behind The Mask era' as everything including Billy & Rick, commencing in '87 and ending when Rick left, at which point it headed into the 'Time era.' I suppose that's generalizing a bit too much....:D

I think MacMan should be awarded tickets to the next Behind the Mask line-up tour....:laugh:

That's exactly how the BTM shows were..powerful and big. I have about 6 of them on VHS and I really enjoy them. To be blunt, Stevie is a complete wasted mess. It wouldn't surprise me if she didn't remember any of that tour. I don't know how she even remembered the words to the songs. I'm mean, she just ain't there but the shows were still great!!

Thanks Lisa!

It bugs me somethin' AWFUL, Shar.

Did you like the pic I posted? They're rehearsing for their tour back in February or March 1990, somewhere in Culver City. That's my favorite "Landslide" of all of them from the Big-Mama Era.

Accuracy is the key. "Close enough" just doesn't cut it.

If somebody posted a photo of Lindsey in 1978 when he had cut his hair & shaved, playing a Gibson Les Paul and claimed it to be from the Tusk era, they'd be wrong, since they were still touring to back Rumours at the time.

The key to '87 vs '90 concert photos...if Billy's playng a Les Paul, it's 87, if he's playing a Strat, 90 and Billy's hair is much longer in 90.

If you read my first post I didn't ask for Behind The Mask promos or live photos, I didn't even mention a specific year. I specifically used the word "era".

The Rumours era of the band encompasses the 1975 album Fleetwood Mac and the albums that followed, so why can't the Behind The Mask era encompass the Tango tour when Billy and Rick first appeared? It's just a general term meant as guidance, not meant to be oh-so-specific. What else would you call it? It seems a pretty neat, concise term to me, era meaning "a period of time marked by distinctive character, events". Well I'd say the Behind The Mask era is marked by Billy and Rick joining the band to tour, eventually leading to the recording of their first original work together, Behind The Mask and its subsequent tour.

And just to annoy you more here's a couple more "Behind The Mask era" photos I found even though I know they are earlier.

Thanks Sanne, those are awesome :)

Wow, thanks Sanne.

I'm not used to seeing Stevie's skirt so short. Michele

Just because I like you, I'm going to post the August 1987 press conference where Lindsey Nicks's departure was announced as well as the arrival of Billy Vito & Rick Burnette. Stevie McVie was still in the band, but trying to figure out whether her particular brand of spacy synth pop-folk-shlock-rock was still in demand by the CD-buying public. Next, they hit the pavement & found a guy called Greg Ladanyi to help them build their tracks & produce their sound. He botched it big time, boy howdy.

:lol: David I love you when you're a goofball. Also when you're brilliant.

I LOVE all these new pictures! Thanks so much! This line-up was barely on my radar during this period, but now I've become somewhat (obsessively) fascinated with them. All these pictures are a treat. Thanks everyone.

A little memorabilia morsel on ebay....

David, could you possibly re post this photo?

Here's a bigger image from the Greatest Hits album:

Nice legs Miss Nicks :-)

The first picture I ever saw of Fleetwood Mac, when I opened up my new Greatest Hits album some 15 years ago.

Now given that I didn't know anything about the band, when I opened up the album, I knew nothing of Lindsey Buckingham (and hence my love of Rick and Billy to this day I'm sure) but also I was confused for a little while by Stephen Davis' liner notes "...they remember the days when Rhiannon the Welsh mare-goddess alighted onstage like a dark-winged apparition during Fleetwood Mac shows past". As a result for at least a little while I thought FM had once contained a member called Rhiannon.

Funnily enough I was doing a computer course on the internet at a local college and searched up Fleetwood Mac and discovered the Cyber-Penguin and dicovered there wasn't a Rhiannon (at least not since the days of Pwyll). The rest, as they say, is history. :)

The liner notes confused me too. I thought Lindsey had died or something when I first read it.
