Great to hear these old shows unearthed

So wonderful. Rumours was in full swing in May 1977. Dont Stop would have been the current single at the time of this show yet its not in the setlist. I think it shows how Rumours blew up and the band could not keep up with promoting all the songs. The Chain is not in the set either. An incredible Oh Daddy is there though. Really good version

Everyone sounds great here. Yes, this version of Oh Daddy is pretty much flawless.

Did they end with World Turning or was Songbird just cut from the recording?

The Rumours encores were often The Chain, Blue Letter & Songbird.

I was curious so I googled the Rumours tour. I do see The Chain was performed but not as an encore (but maybe it was also played as an encore in some cities). I am fascinated because I dont see Dont Stop in the setlist of any Rumours tour. It was one of the biggest songs from the album. Interesting it was not played. Anyone know if it was played somewhere on the tour?

Awesome, those early Rumours shows were just phenomenal- Stevie's voice was still firmly intact and hadn't yet lowered. The band was also incredibly tight. Every song is perfect.

Do you have the soundboards for Oklahoma City 5.18.77 and Little Rock 5.20.77? They both have “Don’t Stop.” But then you get to the late May and June shows, and they dropped the song from that point on all the way through Hawaii.

Why would they drop a hit from the set? Beats me. But they never figured out a good way to end it, until Tusk, that is, when they invented that blues turn-around and just carried it out in a very traditional way.

It just wasn't just a hit, it would have been the current single and current hit at the time of this tour and show.

Its just an interesting wrinkle that hit me. I suppose when they practiced for the Rumours tour, they practiced and performed a good bit from the album. However, they did not have the foresight of "the hits just keep coming." At the time of this particular concert, Don't Stop was racing up the charts.

Just an interesting wrinkle in time of the Fleetwood Mac realm.
