FM Hyde Park '68 pic

A color pic of Fleetwood Mac playing in Hyde Park 8-24-68.
I must've been one of the earliest performances with Danny. He was still using his cheapo Watkins Rapier guitar. Peter is playing a Strat!!

I wonder if that's the smallest stage they ever played on? There's hardly room for them to stand with all the gear onstage. And, it looks like Mick didn't have room to set up his whole kit.:lol:

Absolutely beautiful!!! :woohoo:
I wonder if there are more photos from the gig. It's always a thrill to see "new" old pictures.
Thank you so much, Cussion!!!

In my band when we got new guitar players it took them aproximately 6 months until they could play the full list of songs (about 60). But then, Danny was a talented musician.

Find Jeremy

I think Jeremy is right behind Mick Fleetwood to the left of the girl with the long dark hair. You can see the top of the neck of his guitar sticking up. Very very crowded on the tiny stage!:nod:

Well where else is he going to play, on top of Mick's drums? That's the smallest stage platform I've ever seen. :laugh: I'm sure Jeremy played to Danny's right when he did his numbers.
