Was it the Cruzados?

when they played here in connecticut in nov. 1990 no opening act on the behind the mask tour

Squeeze opened in June in the U.S., but the last leg was just FM.

bozz scaggs in 1998 on enchanted tour.

And Michael McDonald. The highlight of that tour for me was hearing Scaggs & his band sing Lido & hearing McDonald sing What A Fool Believes.

An opening act would have to be paid. The ticket price would have to increase or FM would have to give them a cut in order for this to happen. Ain't gonna happen. At this point, fans are there to see Fleetwood Mac. Although it would be a nice change of pace for Rick or the others to open. Hell, anything new would be a nice change of pace at this point.

The only way it would be worth their while is if the opening act was an audience draw itself. So, I could see them getting an opening act that could help them sell out and then when it came time to split the dough with them, it wouldn't hurt so much. I guess Sheryl Crow would have fit that bill, but I'm glad that's not happening.

The chirping crickets is the only opener I want. Michele

yes the cruzados opened for fleetwood mac on the tango in the night tour 1987 in hartford in october 23rd.

that was the only show with an opening act with fleetwood mac when they played here after that tour behind the mask when they played here it was in november a rescheduled date original date was July 12th christines birthday but that week christines dad passed away and they cancelled the shows for that week and rescheduled them in the fall so when they rescheduled it was for Nov.9th 1990 and no opening act any for the hartford show was just them and the tour after that would be the dance tour in 1997 no opening act. and the say you will tour saw several shows and no opening act.
