Unexpected FM

[HomerMcvie]

Well this is a first...I just heard Mystery To Me's version of For Your Love on the jukebox in a biker bar in Nashville.

That's a cool unexpected. How often do you guys hear pre-1975 Mac songs on radios? I have never heard anything, neither here nor in other countries where I have been. And in the 90s I traveled a lot to USA for training and business, so sometimes I spent several weeks there. And never heard Mac songs from the pre BN lineups.

I did heard Sentimental Lady, but it was Bob's single.

True. The Mac never really had hit singles back then. I did hear Hypnotized quite a bit on classic rock stations in the 1980s. I did hear Heroes are Hard To Find once on a classic rock station also in the 1980s.
The freakiest thing I heard once was Spare Me A Little in a diner near Pittsburgh about 10 years ago.

The "Hippie radio" station I listen to probably plays Sentimental Lady more than any of the old stuff. Hypnotized probably comes in second place.

I've heard FM's Black Magic Woman on the jukebox, only because I've schooled people when they play the Santana version, and they call me a liar when I tell them it's a FM song. Then they'll go look up the FM version and play it.

(God, just because I listen to a station that calls itself hippie radio- I hope you guys don't picture me as a hippie- I'm the antithesis of a hippie! They just play lots of 70's album cuts)

I've been there. Every time I tell people that the original BMW is a Fleetwood Mac song, they open their eyes like the WhatsApp icon. Many of them don't even know they were a blues band.

I just watched Sweet Magnolias S4E2, a girl who is member of a band was wearing a dark t-shirt with the well known Mick and Stevie picture, but instead of the word Rumours, it said Fleetwood Mac Live.

[HomerMcvie]

I'm halfway through my Caribbean cruise, and Dreams is blasting at the pool bars.

And the Rumours tribute band performs tonight at 7 in the 700 person theater. They had to move it from the 200 person club, because everyone was pissed that they couldn't get in to see it.

[HomerMcvie]

So tribute band was as good as seeing FM. 4 piece band, with 4 singers. Full "concert" production. Had the 70s moon backdrop projected, and it morphed all night.
Guitarist NAILED NGBA, but sucked at the intro of IDWK(played it an octave high, and it just didn't sound good).
One of the male singers looked just like Meatloaf, which was weird.
They added recorded thunder to Dreams, which was not approved by this department.
Other than that, IT WAS KICK ASS.

And "Christine" at keyboards doesn't look like Christine.

That's because "Christine" plays keys like Old Goatsy.

I heard Talk To Me on the radio in the car today.

Now we know why you booked this cruise because you secretly miss Fleetwood Mac onstage.

Fleetwood Mac WISHES they could still sing as well as these late 20 somethings do.

Having this FM tribute band on the ships has become insanely popular. They used to do 2 shows(1 night only) in the 200 person club. People were getting so mad, because they couldn't get in to see it, so they moved it to the 700 person theater. It was still sold out. Funny thing is- why aren't they doing Eagles tribute bands? It's it just the drama behind Rumours, that makes it so popular?

And btw, this was a different band doing it, than I saw on my cruise last year.

i wonder if it's because of the male/female mix that sort of makes it interesting? and maybe FM has a longer list of big hits than the eagles? or maybe not...idk. interesting though, it must be a hoot to watch on a cruise ship.
