In some of the earlier tour, such as the Rumours and Fleetwood Mac and Tusk tours they may have had them but not sure, I think the legacy has a good list of all concerts showing supporting acts.

At the Wembley Stadium concert on 1st September 1990 the support acts were The River City People, Hall and Oates and Jethro Tull.

Yeah, in 90 they had an opening act for a part of the tour in the US up until Stevie and Christine announced it was their last tour... Can't recall at the moment - but The Squeeze comes to mind.

I know that Men At Work (of Who Can It Be Now fame) opened up on the Mirage tour.

They've had dozens of artists open for them, as people here have posted. A complete list would be practically impossible to compile, but it would include:

Deep Purple
Dick Heckstall-Smith Band
Henry Gross
Dave Mason
Robin Trower
Ambrosia
Loggins & Messina
Brian Auger
The Oblivion Express
Bob Welch
Gary Wright
Head East
Kansas
Leo Kottke
Boz Scaggs
Firefall
Peter Ivers
Kenny Loggins
Bob Seger
Chick Corea
Stanley Clarke
Jimmy Buffett
Sanford Townsend
Santana
Little River Band
Kevin Borich Express
Steve Miller Band
Bob Marley
Christopher Cross
Nicolette Larson
Rocky Burnette
Loverboy
John Cougar (Mellencamp)
Men at Work
Glenn Frey
Cruzados
Squeeze

A few of these acts (like Santana) didn't really open in the strict sense but just played festival bills with Fleetwood Mac.

David, when did Bob Marley open (or play on same festival or whatever) with them?

The one I'm aware of is the one Mick mentions in his book. It's the Open Air Festival in Munich on June 1, 1980.

I think this concert may be on film, by the way. It's just a guess, but I have a clip of "Don't Stop" at some big outdoor German show in '80, so this might be it.

Dammit, I was hoping to beat someone to this. That's what I get for sleeping in.
Men At Work were really good. Christopher Cross's big hit at the time was Ride Like the Wind, and I remember I was stuck in the concession line when he played it.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane....
