1978 Grammys
 

Hopefully I've got the right year there but what did the Mac say when they won the Grammy for album of the year(????...is that it?) for Rumours? Anyone have it transcribed or something?

It was 1977-- and Mick did most of the talking- "Well, the big ones always get shoved forward-- I'd like to take this opportunity in thanking everyone that's done such a lot for us, you up there (God), the record company, and the people that work closely with the band-- thank you very much, we love ya." And Stevie then started to say something like "We'd like--" and then decided to scream "Warners Brothers! Thank you!" at top volume instead. :D

Love those Grammys. I love the absolute look of joy on LB's face when he is up there and Mick is talking; he just glows. I love how darn cute Stevie looks, and Chris' cool crimped hair, and John's burgundy velvet suit. :rolleyes: Love the tense looks on John and Chris' faces while waiting to hear the winner, and then once it was announced, the way they immediately looked at each other.

I think Chris was there w/ her brother, BTW, I think he was on the other side of her. Not sure who that dark haired chick is between Mick and John..maybe Julie but for some reason I don't think so-- she congratulated Mick.

Can you tell I've watched that clip lots of times LOL??

BTW they won 7 Grammys that evening.

aww, i wanna see that!

Me too. I had a feeling I had to wrong about something. Thnx for the info. Anyone wanna post that on their web site????

Oh those late 70s
 

Yeah, I've never seen that Grammy show. A mpg clip would be great!

By that time I remember they used to broadcast (in Peru) delayed, and usually on saturdays. Since it was summer, usually I missed grammys cause I always was camping on the beach on weekends. I miss those days. :o

I remember seeing the speech on some Mac related behind the music type show once... I just remember two things... One was John's suit and the other was the amount of hair!!!!!

:laugh: :laugh:

There was definitely a lot of hair on that stage, w/ Richard and Ken too, and the shaggy beards...LB's big 'fro.. :laugh:

7? Do you recall (of course you do.. :laugh: ) the categories in which they won?

Lindsey's finest moment, I understand they actually got 8 grammys, the other one was for "Best Hair Moment On A Popular Music Album" awarded to Lindsey's 'fro.. :nod: :nod:

Actually I'm ashamed to say I'm not sure of them at all. I think two were album of the year, and best production....I have the info somewhere in my files LOL. I should go dig it up.
