This is a really good concert. If the date is correct, it would have been recorded after joining Fleetwood Mac. Its funny that they open with Lola which sort of became the Chain which also opened so many of their shows. They perform Monday Morning, Blue Letter, I Don't Want To Know as well as their Buck/Nicks songs. A really good Crystal too. Excellent quality.

That Buckingham Nicks Rhiannon always reminds me of how important Fleetwood Mac was to making some of these songs work. Mr. Fleetwood and the McVie’s really bring it all together in comparison to this.

There's just no question, they would not have survived without Fleetwood Mac.
This is good, but it's not amazing like FM.

Lindsey likely would have become a successful session player/arranger/producer. Not sure what Stevie would have done. Or maybe they would have had one more album--another chance. And maybe it would have made a little noise. But they wouldn't have made it through the 70s as an act.

They were a good act. But their sole album is wildly overrated (exception: Frozen Love) and despite claims for originality they did sound familiar, even occasionally derivative.

It was the mix of their attributes with Christine's voice, and that powerhouse rhythm section that made all of them.
