Thanks Shel, great scans, never saw this tourbook before!

So that means there are 4 differend Rumours tourbooks: US, UK, Australia and Japan?

I actually have another Japanese Rumours tourbook, but that one is just the regular book all in Japanese writing. It's kinda cool to see (at least I think so :D )

I used to have the Australian one, but the entire book wasn't Fleetwood Mac if I remember correctly. I just remember not being impressed with it and I sold it on eBay eons ago. I had paid a fortune for it from Wynnco before the internet.

I haven't seen the UK one though...is it just like the US version inside? I know the cover is different.

luv,
Shel

thanks for sharing the photos.

Those are great, Shel. Thanks. :)

I love this "tourbook" -- I wish I had my own copy, but I'm not in the buying mode for Fleetwood Mac memorabilia.

Do you guys know anything about the logistics here? How could this booklet have been available to people who went to the Japan concerts, if it's filled with live photos from the Japan concerts? Is it possible that these shots were taken in the weeks prior to the Japan gigs? They're all dressed & coiffed & lit exactly the way they were in Japan (or of what we've seen of Japan on video), but I suppose it's possible that the shots could have been taken in November instead of December. The other possibility is that these booklets weren't sold at the Japan shows, but afterward at some point -- sort of like the Best Buy CDs in 1997 & 1998. You went to the concert & signed up for your booklet.

Unfortunately for a few of us, there are practically no shots of Christine McVie because Stevie Nicks is hogging the photos.

Well, when your mic. is in the center of the stage . . . :shrug:

I have the UK one and it is slightly different...... I'd have to look through it again but it isn't as square and I think there are some different pics in it but nothing earth shattering if I remember correctly ;) One of these days I'm going to figure out how to get my scanner set back up :mad: Any advice out there?? We switched to Windows Vista and now I can't get my scanner to work!

Thanks for posting these. I've only seen copies of the Japanese tour book in the past.

:thumbsup:

Hmm, don't know too much about Vista. I know my husband uses it on his machine, but I'm still running XP on mine and that's where the scanner is hooked up. Good luck!

You're welcome. I'm glad I could share, that was my "holy grail" for the longest time and I'm so happy I finally own one!!

luv,
Shel

thanks for posting...have never seen this version of the tourbook. however, i'm a bit confused...these pics look like they're FROM Japan. how could they give tourbooks out at the concerts in Japan with pics from those concerts? i'm guessing they were offered after the shows at some point?

I was wondering the exact same thing.
