The first thing I ever knew about FM was a promo poster from "Tusk", back in 1979, when I was 15 years old and in London with my schoolclass. I then heard the single "Tusk" on the way back to germany and that basically was it. I listened to Rumours a few weeks later and knew all singles from hearing, I had not realized that they were all from one band.
After that, I was a Rumours lineup fan. But what made me stay with the band for all this time is the pre-Rumours lineup with Bob Welch. There is a laid back quality in the Welch years music that still fascinates me and makes me happy. Christine did some of her best work back then, my absolute favorite FM music must be the bootleg "Bermuda Triangle". While I hear and respect that LB is one of the best guitar players in the world, the Welch-years live music gives me the chills, because I listen to masters at work in all details.
