The time Fleetwood Mac opened for the Eagles

[Macfan4life]

Picture it.........Summer of 1976 at Three Rivers Stadium, Pittsburgh, PA. The Eagles with special guests Fleetwood Mac and Boz Scaggs. I think there were a few of these Stadium tours that summer. The Mac would play Pittsburgh almost 3 times within a year, each time at a larger venue. They played the Stanley Theater in June 1975, then came back to the Civic Arena later that year and returned the following summer at Three Rivers Stadium. According to the articles there were major fiascos at the previous stadium concert in Pittsburgh with throwing bottles and so many injuries. The city stopped alcohol from being brought into the stadium which worked. However the Eagles still had to stop their set to tell people to stop throwing bottles or they would stop the concert. Some really cool photos of the band. I like the one with Stevie with the Pittsburgh Pirates logo in the backdrop.
What a time to be alive and I can't imagine seeing the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac together for $10 with both bands at the peak of their powers. I was only 6 but did anyone attend any of these stadium concerts? This link has some great photos and articles about the show. The Mac was playing everything in 1975 and 1976. They were still going to colleges while the next night playing arenas in 1975. To think these concerts were just about 6 months before they would both release the best albums in rock history: Hotel California and Rumours. Time machine take me away!
