Fleetwood Mac Landmarks

Montclare · #1 01-25-2015, 09:27 PM

I might be taking a trip to San Jose/San Francisco in a couple of months, and was trying to think of FM landmarks to see (like Lindsey and Stevie's high school, college etc). Any idea of Fleetwood Mac landmarks? It doesn't even have to be in these towns, as you never know where you might be traveling. I stopped in Silver Springs when I went to DC this past fall.

Here in Wallyworld "Wallingford" there is Trod Nossel studios.

Its down the street from my old apt.

I'd drive to Record Plant to be sure, and just being in the Palo Alto area has the vibe. I lived there for freaking ever and honestly never did this myself.
Visit the Haight/take a pic in front of Fillmore....wish I had more for you off the top of my head. If I were still living there I'd have invited you over to view the shrine. LMAO. You are more than welcome to do so if ever in Oregon

Thank you both for the suggestions! I thought of the Record Plant after I posted this. Add this to my list!

Absolutely the Record Plant.. As of last July it's queued to become a day-spa, but hopefully, it is all still in tact.

Walking around Sausalito is also really fun. I think Richard said everyone used to go to this one coffee shop/pub and drink for awhile after recording, but I can't remember which one. There's a neat shop there that has antiques and crystals and lamps, which I would bet anything Stevie has been in at some time.

Were you featured on the OR news a few ears back when FM was in town playing the Rose Garden/Moda?

I've been in Sausalito's Record Plant twice. First time I went with ledgie BN who kindly took me there. We stopped also at the high school where L&S met the first time, but it was at sunset so it was pretty dark.

I'd love to see the restaurant at LA where S&L met the band and agreed to join. It would be a definitive stop if I ever go again to Los Angeles.

I have been thinking about this recently as well. My niece recently relocated to the Los Angeles area. I may visit in the fall and thought about taking a "Fleetwood Mac" tour.

Two of the locations I thought about were the apartment where Stevie and Lindsey lived with Richard Dashut as well as the Mexican restaurant where they all met for the first time. I'm assuming this is no longer the same business.

If anyone has those locations, please pass them along. The apartment I believe was Orange Grove and Fairfax.

I believe Richard might have mentioned the streets on his blog. Hey, I should ask him for some suggestions!

Absolutely.... I'd love to here what he'd suggest.

I did happen upon their star on the Walk-of-Fame when I visited Hollywood about 15 years ago. If I recall correctly, it is outside a Fredericks of Hollywood store.

Please correct me if I'm wrong .As I read this somewhere. I believe FM ate dinner at Yankee Silversmith restaurant while in town as they were at Trod Nossel.

Alot of the Oakdale Theater acts eat there also I had a couple dinners there too.

The restaurant burned down years ago and now Sonic is at its location now.

And here I thought I was the only person who would do such things!!

On several of my last trips to LA I went around to some of the landmarks, including Stevie's old house on El Contento, the Bel Air house where they recorded SYW, and Stevie's old house that was bought by George Clooney. We went looking around for Lindsey's old house on June Street (where he also lived with Carol) but with no cross street or other reference it's almost impossible to determine which house it might have been. I was considering trying to post some of the pics.

Our plan on my next visit is to see Stevie's condo building and possibly the big house. OH! How could I forget-- for you, elle, we went by LB's house. But that was kinda weird, coz he still lives there…..

The City National Civic Auditorium (formerly known as San Jose Civic Center Auditorium) is an old, smaller venue downtown. The foyer hallways are filled with huge pictures of classic acts, and there's a great FM pic taken from (I believe) the white album tour. If you stop by on a non-show night you can go in without a ticket. Just tell security you're there for the $12 beers.
