yeah, even christine did the bandstand in '84 but it was boring because she would just lip-sync, although dick clark talked to her a bit but she had practicallynothing to say.

what's really weird is why didn't don kirshner ever have the buckingham/nicks group perform live on the show? they appeared at their awards show in '78 but that's essentially it. whenever an appearance was "booked" by fleetwood mac on that show, it was just a video or film shown in that segment, like "sara" from the tusk doc.

There was even talk at one point that jim ladd was going to do his innerview shows on tv, & that he had done one of stevie which was going to kick off the inaugural program, but that never panned out.
