Rare Live Recordings

[chiliD]

Good thing it was recorded, because I'd never remembered the incident, and I haven't listened to the recording in a while. But, Lindsey was about to introduce "a song from our new album Rumours" (which turned out to be "Dreams") however, he'd misread the set list & skipped that they were supposed to be doing "Rhiannon" next. I forget Christine's comment, but I remember that it was hilarious. Lindsey was kind of stammering a reply, then kicked into "Rhiannon"'s opening riff, meanwhile, before he came in on bass, John stepped to the microphone and curtly said "We are NOT a professional band". They played "Dreams" immediately after "Rhiannon". I thought they did that just as a "makeup" for Lindsey's faux pas, but upon seeing other concerts in this timeframe, that's how the set was designed. In retrospect, in subsequent tours, when did Fleetwood Mac EVER play songs that Stevie sang lead on back-to-back? And, especially with "Rhiannon" being FIRST?? Those first few Rumours tour concerts were pretty special.
