Solid Gold Performances
 

Solid Gold was such a pivotal show in the 1980s for artists to promote their music. It was how we got to see people perform outside of videos even though most of it was lip syncing. Fleetwood Mac never appeared on the show but the song Tusk was performed by the USC marching and they showed the video. Here are some of Fleetwood Mac members Solid Gold performances.

I WANT YOU BACK is absolutely hilarious.

Lindsey looks so different :lol:

They aren't even close on the synch. :lol:

The clean shaven bankrupt Mick
I love it
:)

He looks so coked out!

He looks pissed.

Can't it be both?

That's Steve Ross! The Zoo also dressed in tuxes when they performed in 1983 on Rock Palace on NBC. They played TONIGHT and ANGEL COME HOME.

I'm usually pretty happy with a few toots.

He seems to be miming the character he plays in the video—and/or he’s just cray cray…

He doesn't look pissed to me. It's the same face without the beard. Crazy, buzzed, and catching a fly while drumming.

When I saw Mick's video in 1983 I thought it was him singing since he is lip syncing in the video. Rather strange video until a beautiful Stevie shows up. Their solo albums were released almost at the same time in 1983. I am sure I Want You Back and If Anyone Falls were filmed nearly back to back.
Mick looked freaky here.

BTW
My favorite Zoo TV performance was with Bekka in 1992

In late 1977, he went super-shaggy beard, like a deranged rabbi. Right after that — at some point in 1978 — he went completely clean-shaven (like Lindsey). But in 1979, he was back with his normal beard.

He’s obviously nuttier than Lindsey ever was.

Don't forget, he makes a cameo later on in, I CANT WAIT.
